That would be awesome. If you got awarded any pitches on the subcontinent for your matches you'd be a terrific force to be reckoned with, too!You never know, I could have gone with a South Asian old school all spin attack

Jesus. I was saying in our convo that we could go for this guy in round 3 as he was unlikely to be taken. ffs
Who are you speaking about?
Gave myself great flexibility for the final round. I'm a happy man.
He took your name way too literally.
Your one pick was passed last round. Weekes failed for which you submitted again in R2.
So boring, TMH forgot @Boycott was playing.
Justt like his namesake
He's opening the batting for me. With him and Gooch I have two blokes who will dig in and score big
He didn't ask you to submit again so you've probably passed mate.
Oops sorry. Yours passed. Will update.
Amy chance to finish this round soon
Just 3 people who have to pick, do it guys.
We've already sent.

2 village teams are playing a game of cricket on a lazy Sunday when one of the batsmen falls ill with food poisoning. The captain of the batting side is at a loss what to do when a horse walks up and asks if he can play, the captain is in shock to begin with because of the talking horse but after a moment he agrees to let the horse play.
The horse is padded up and sent out to bat, the whole village has come out now to witness this unique spectacle.
The bowler runs up and bowls a fast delivery down the middle....THWACK! the horse hits it for 6! The crowd goes wild and the batting team can't believe their eyes.
The bowler runs up for the second delivery.... THWACK! it goes for another massive 6!
3rd delivery... Another 6
4th delivery... Another 6!
The 5th ball of the over and the horse sends it into another field, the crowd is chanting the name Horse, Horse, Horse!
It's the final ball of the over, the bowler runs in and throws a Yorker, the horse mis-judges it and only manages to some how tap it away, the ball goes slowly towards the boundary but the horse doesn't move. Everyone is shouting for the horse to make a run, the captain, the players and the crowd are begging the horse to run but he doesn't.
After the over is finished the captain walks up to the horse and asks him why he didn't run?
The horse replies... If I could run I wouldn't be playing fecking cricket.
