I'm working now, sorry. I can do the write ups for Friday? Or any other day on the weekend
You OK with your game starting on Friday?
@Mani wessels, mohamed, ganga and bacher are all openers right? one will sit out im assuming (bacher/ganga)
OK mate. It will have to do.
You can never have enough openers. 2 get out, you have another set of 2 to go through.

But you're from Calcutta, right?I'm going to personally sabotage the pitch before his team starts batting
I'm not a bong btwif that's why you tagged me.
Is that Ian chappell? And why not Langer opening it ,Imo is better batsmen than Amiss
Who is your 12th man.
Nope. Posted here for my job so been here for the past 1.5yrs. Did do 2yrs of my schooling here too.
Bacher is our sub
Ahhh icic.
How different are Pakistani conditions from Indian pitches?
Awesome. Almost screwed that up. Cheers.
Not very. Same flatbeds that turn like a motherfecker 3rd day onwards.
Pakistan favour swing more than India. india is mostly spin.
Viv vs Thomson great.

Gregg. Langer has played and had success at 3, the others haven't. Some sheep.
Bill Lawry will be giving a live commentary.
Do they? Always felt it was more about their bowlers being better thus making it seems so but I could be wrong.
I'm thinking of going an all out attack with three pacers and no spin.
They're probably even more flat I think. I don't think Pakistan produce the type of dustbowls you see in India at times.

Then good luck with that.
Cheers
Pollock was very good in Pakistan and with him and Alderman I have swing covered. Srinath in his limited games didn't do so well but maybe I can get away with him being an Indian pacer and doing awesome at home if conditions aren't too dissimilar.
Benaud also did well, especially at the ground I'm playing on.
I will update 12th Man here. Once received/confirmed for all, we will have toss done.

Alright then.
Guys would you play Ravi Shastri or Wasim Raja as the main spinner in England?
Ravi
12th man - Blair Pocock
They don't prefer spin like India does I feel. They give more for the pacers than we do. Indians have/had lot of spinners so we prefer more spin
Ravi Shastri for me..
I'm surprised no one went for Sanjay Manjrekar. The guy played ODIs like tests anyway
If I got my first choices each time my team would be:
1. Hobbs
2. Lawry
3. Ponting
4. Border
5. De Villiers
6. Martyn
7.
8. Cairns
9. Swann
10. Asif
11. Steyn
3-5 woulda been GOAT. Don't know who I would've got instead of Chapell.
