Liam do you even look at the posted XI I select Sachin he's not there, I don't select Ganguly he is in the team!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

You can't edit a post to say 2nd Test instead of 1st Test and expect me to notice it! I don't go back and read posts to check if they have been edited. You have to do as Samuel Vimes did and post something directing me to the above edit.

As such, it was regarded as a none-submission and your team was chosen randomly.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Also, you have to name your pitch conditions or you will continue to be penalized 10 points at a time.
