Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Supposed to be preparing flat pitches, so could be lot of runs.

I'll get this done over the weekend.

I got something wrong over the catches last time I did this....

my door is always open

Painting the fence. Definitely tomorrow.

No one picked Khawaja and Root.

lots of people picked Root, SP, including you

not me, though, sadly, so that'll send me towards the bottom of the table

So like the very Ashes themselves, the leadership resides temporarily down under. But like the actual battle for the famous old urn, the advantage is slender.

Polite disagreements, constructive criticism and unwarranted tantrums to the usual offices please.

Next time, it's the Lord's Test starting on June 28.

Bye.

I'm higher up the tree than I thought I would be

I'm looking forward to Woody's 10 wicket match haul at Lords

Yes, your trump card.

Which reminds me, I had a joker feature last time. I thought that worked OK.

I'd forgotten that

I think I accidentally ended up with Root because I forgot to nominate one and he was 3rd in my team or something. It must have gone okay because I won it.... all thanks to my incompetence

It was England v NZ last year. Red won it. Nearly everyone picked Root or Stokes.
