AP is the only one to have picked a CA XI player

some of them have done very well and scored heavily.........

sadly, AP's player didn't play in either match

bad start

new rule apparently

and I think that rule stinks.

Very, very un-Australian. It is in our nature to use all sorts of clever tactics to try to get one over the opposition.

If they are going to ban feigning a throw, then they should ban the switch-hit - using the same reasoning.

pfft.......

they'll be banning the "I *modded* your wife and your mother" sledge next

whatever is the world coming to?

political correctness gone mad

Is the whole comp played in one big block?

Yep. It is the way CA have run it for at least 3 seasons now - when they first brought it out, they reckoned it was to promote experience in tournament play.

Although the fixtures are moving around a bit more, this year, it does still seem to be heavily Sydney-centric

Odd for Tassie supporters, that 2 of their 3 home games may not feature their own team. My lack of interest in watching other people's teams play sport is one of the reasons why I don't bother with Sky anymore, so it wouldn't even occur to me to go down to the Riverside for the day to watch Surrey play Essex... I'll keep my money, thank you very much.

lots of jostling for position in the early rounds

when will the T20I players head over to India, I wonder?

I wonder where Hastings is? He isn't in the Aussie squads for India

Injured?
