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

Many thanks to Arthur for volunteering to administer this FL


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.

Sounds a familiar phrase. I suppose your gf knows how to use a database then.

I hadn't thought about getting someone to do it for me.

Not a bad idea.

I mean, I might look to outsource if it suits the short term goals as identified at the last audit.
