**Official** TEST XI ANNOUNCEMENTS

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Pace: 5 :: Spin: 2 :: Medium: 5 :: Bounce: 5 :: Wear: 1

Pace 5... Bounce 5... Sounds like someone is afraid of me. :baddevil:

 

[bugssy]

and what do u mean by that hey

 

[marc71178]

Manager Marc71178 has instructed the official Pakistani Curator, Groundskeeper Willie Mohammed, to keep the pitch secret for a further 24 hours, noting that if the Aussies don't name their XV to tour very soon, they will be in danger of missing the plane (2 days before the match being today)

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

and what do u mean by that hey

That even with your feeble ploy of making a bounce-less pitch (is that possible in SA?) we'll still show you what leather smells like.

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

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

New Zealand

and

Sri Lanka

are both penalised 10 points for not sibmitting their ground conditions.

Sri Lanka, New Zealand and England have all failed to submit their teams and will have their teams randomly chosen.

Congratulations to those who got their items in on time.

 

[PY]

How can I be expected to post a team when I don't know the conditions? That's ridiculous.......:!(

Still won though

 

[Blewy]

I speak on behalf of the BCCI and am very dissapointed at the fact that the opposition didn't post thier side yet we still lost...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

How can I be expected to post a team when I don't know the conditions? That's ridiculous.......:!(

That's the point behind penalizing the home side by 10 points. You should have still named your XI regardless and let the Board deal with Sri Lanka.
