Oh blimey........

I nearly wet 'em there

thanks MS....cheered me up no end

I'll let everyone into a secret

On my spreadsheet I've left spaces for 10 players from Aus, SA, SL and NZ

6 spaces for WI, Pak and Ind

3 spaces for Bangladesh, and Ireland

1 each for Scot, UAE, Zim and Afghanistan

For England I've been considering pre-selecting Moeen Ali and not bothering to waste any more of the spreadsheet space available

I really don't believe that anyone would be daft enough to pick any other England player. Might as well just hold up your hands and ask me to place your team in mid table and save myself a whole lot of work
