Fenoms vs Dynamo Morpork

Call: heads and bowl

No declaration in first innings until lunch on day 4.

1. Hussey
2. Rogers
3. van Jaarsveld
4. Shah
5. Pienaar
6. MacDonald (3, 5)
7. Jayawardene (+)
8. Warne (5, 4)
9. Steyn (1)
10. Kabir (2)
11. Murali (4, 3)

2nd innings quicks should basically be taking the shine off the new ball for spinners/bowling old ball spells to start sessions. Spinners to bowl majority of overs in 2nd innings, MacDonald only to be used as a partnership breaker and be kept on if he's doing a job.

Use the quicks for a short burst in overcast conditions.

edit: use Pienaar if the situation becomes utterly desperate.

They are, but TBI won't be playing them. Shri is due to play BS, Cribb's team, in the next round. Cevno is due to play Flem and Daemon's team and has suffered a copypasta failure.
