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

Didn't notice Holland wasn't playing. I was feeling 50-50 between him and Fawad but went for Holland.

I think that when the Ashes are on, the Sheffield Shield games are halted for a while, so maybe the internationals will play quite a few games. Although the international pace bowlers will all be injured.

I think I'd worked out that test players were no good for SS inclusion, but that ODI/T20 players were going to be okay

I often miscalculate these things, though

Was hoping to get some points from test players lol but gutted Cowan hasn't been playing

I think he's only missing the one, andy. He was the top run scorer last year, after all

and I think the only reason that he missed the first game was because CA wanted to get a look at Hughes as well as getting some middle time for Smudger and Wee Davey

looks like Cowan has been left out of the 13 man squad again, for NSW

oh, and..... deep joy.... Tassie seem to have left out Milenko again. Presumably including 4 wicket keepers in their 13 man squad meant they couldn't fit a bowler in

beyond a blooming joke, really

oh dear - the aussie selectors are in trouble with the Footman!

my fault for deviating from my tried and trusted selection method. I've been doing that a lot recently, so it shouldn't surprise me that my results this year have been sub-par

just spotted this

He actually plays for Victoria and I hadn't noticed, so I had him down as a DNP for match one. He actually scored 83 last week. I've amended this and it is reflected in the leaderboard

Second! If it turns out Red is on anabolic steroids, I'm in the gold medal slot.
