Following on from Arthur's post, can players get injured?

If not, I'll swap Moin Khan

I think they can after the first match of a series.

I've decided to stick with post isolation, which makes selection easier.

I'm assuming that i won't have to worry about the quota system, which is more than can be said for Graeme Smith

Since you have a smartphone, I recommend you download Cricket Captain 2019 on Google Play (for free). Comes with a free trial before deciding to buy the full version. The free trial you can play a one off all time great match and just select your squad from there.

I reckon you and Ian have/had the hardest squads to pick, Arthur.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Team of players not making the squad

Langer/Lawry/Ponting/G.Chappell/Clarke/Hussey/Healy/Cummins/O'Reilly/Trumble/Turner.

[Durhamfootman]

Ponting is the 3rd highest run scorer of all time, isn't he?

That's a very brave omission

(sounds like a line from yes minister)
