Why does it take so many people to catch a cricket in a cup?

In Texas, my dog catches crickets all by himself. You need a dog.

Well Willey was a slogger and Holding was frightingly quick so it would have been good to watch anyway.

sounds interesting but I dont see how a 10 year old can be concidered as a player?!

The 10 year old is a reserve, he is a bright star for the future and has already won young player of the year in Danieljoh

All teams that are wishing to enter have to have entered before the 16th of January and the draw will be made at 7pm (GMT)

There are also a spot for hosts. At least 4 stadiums have to be developed in time for the first round of matches on the 19th Jan.

Good luck

Hint: May have been better to do this in NationStates. Less spam.

The Street signs up, though. Squad to come at some later time.

It wasn't. Peter Willey got himself out rather quickly and playing defensively at that. (If I remember correctly. I did actually watch that broadcast.)

Only four Aussies? come on mate

There's nothing wrong with aussies, exept if you play against them.

Anyway, follow the link on msg 1 for the draw. All the info you need is there.

The draw is being moved to the 23rd due to the lack of nations involved although there is the possibility of a triangular series with me, Findecando Calaelen and Monkeypimp on Monday 17th

Visit the Results/fixtures page via the link on msg 1 for the proposed dates and times

Heh, there was nearly only 3. A better question would have been 'why are there no sri lankan's?' and I'm not too sure. Maybe Jayas could replace Sehwag, or Vaas could replace Pollock or Ahktah.


Btw, I don't actually intend on RPing cricket...

A better Question should be wheres the english?

Anyway, all players will have to be selected in Categories...
Batting-Openers, Mid-order, Low order or Tailenders;
Bowlers-Fast (F), Med fast (MF), Medium(M), spinner (S) or Wicket Keeper(Wkt).

Subs are also allowed as there may be injuries (hint)

Anyway if you think Aussies are so good, why dont you make an all austrailian team, Findecano Calaelen, to see how far they get. You dont have to RP and you never know, you might just do well.
