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

As suggested by Shanky, allocation is yet to be confirmed but with the 1st test only 3 days away a thread is setup to allow participants to enter.


Feel free to pick 5 players from the two countries (a mix of the two, or 5 from one country - it's up to you), and two reserve players just incase one of the chosen 5 does not play. The first reserve player picked will come into contention first.
