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

We welcome the return of Australia's new domestic season with the newly re-named Marsh One Day Cup. By the time this starts, England's awful test team will have been put out of its misery and its coach sent back to who cares where with our thanks for ruining our test team for 2 consecutive ashes series and for developing it to a level where it will almost certainly stay ruined for 2 more. Cheers Trev.... close the door on the way out!

Feel a bit out of touch with Aussie cricket.

that's it's charm

I think

with only 4 entrants, I should win this easy

The Reds will be along soon.

Doc seems to know what he's doing. I've not heard of a few of those. Unless he picked them with a pin.

likes his research does DC... he has a tool for predicting these things, some sort of appy thing, probably found on sociable media... whatever that is

anyway.... he's had some success with it

might even become a driving force in the near future

when he concentrates he can be rather astute

when he doesn't concentrate he forgets to include the teams his players play for and I have to start researching for myself (just a little hint there, DC old buddy... WNCL FL, cough, cough

speaking of WNCL FL's...... are you having a go, Arthur?

there is an app a thread

Now that would be sticking pins into a list of names.

only about 11 hours to go
