CL Walcott (West Indies)
RB Kanhai (West Indies)
KR Miller (Australia)
Imran Khan (Pakistan)
Fazal Mahmood (Pakistan)
NAT Adcock (South Africa)
S Ramadhin (West Indies)

Well Ramadhin has been bitterly disappointing so far, but I'll toss him out there again in hope he can pull it together in slowish conditions.

Toronto Tigers - considered bringing in Boje for the trip to Dhaka, but I've decided to stick with the 4-prong. Boje may get his chance at Eden Gardens if we struggle here. The only change is McCabe returning to the middle order in place of Kallicharran

1. D Nourse

5. T Dexter

JH Edrich

R Dravid (wk)
VG Kambli
BC Lara (c)
VVS Laxman
Yousuf Youhana
Iqbal Qasim
BS Bedi
CA Walsh
GD McGrath

Looks strange without Tendulkar. However Laxman has replaced Tendulkar, and Iqbal Qasim comes in for the under-performing Anil Kumble.

Basin Reserve scurmishing for whatever we can get

 

[marc71178]

And posting far too late for the team to be accepted.

 

[Jamee999]

Just seen the above post and am going to try to stage a boycott for any Lord's matches.
If you want to make the deadline strict: Close the thread!

The boycott thus far:

Basin Reserve Bears: Jamee999


PS. Please don't kick me out

 

[marc71178]

The deadline is when I last check the forum before simming.

I don't think closing the thread makes a difference.
