India's squad has already been named. This thread is for naming of touring parties and series discussion only. Test XI's must be named in the Official thread dedicated to it.

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

No. Home sides just submit the XI for each Test.

The match - up of the round looks to be in Pakistan. The Pakistani XXX are in training for this series as it could set the early pacemakers ahead of the rest.

We are in great spirits after visiting India, and comfortably winning 3-0, but it won't be as easy against the SM's

England XV to tour Sri Lanka

K Barrington
W Hammond
H Sutcliffe
J Hobbs
D Compton
A Stewart
A Knott
I Botham
S Barnes
F Trueman

The old duo of Laker and Lock to pair up again on the raging turners in Sri Lanka, should be a competitive series as I look to bounce back from my loss to Australia (albeit because my batsmen didn't get 120-odd off 50 overs :!()

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

:!(:!(:!(

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

We've never had a separate thread for naming ground conditions though.

I intend to ask James for a setup like WCC, where we have a forum within the forum for naming teams and grounds.

Next time I'll make it less confusing. Until then, check all possibly relevant threads.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

From now on, this thread is for SERIES DISCUSSION. It is not for naming your squad, XI or ground conditions. Any additional topic which you wish to discuss may be posted in a new thread, or in QUERIES (if it pertains to the website).

 

[marc71178]

Australia 214 (Wasim 4-45, Waqar 4-56)
Pakistan 237 (Miandad 82, Inzy 44)
Australia 233 (Imran 3-44, Pervez 3-37, Mushy 3-21)
Pakistan 211-7 (Y_Y 47)

What a team effort - all 5 bowlers stand out in one innings or other and we deserve a glorious win!
