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

coming to a store near you very soon

starts 13th December

things to note

no X factor subs this year and no bash boost (although I can't remember what that is). The power surge remains (but I don't know what that means either) and DRS will make its debut

Teams to be in by the toss on the 13th December.... watch out for the time zone differences... it might be better to have them in by midnight the day before, just to be on the safe side
