Cobras Keeper, had a decent year with the bat also. *shrugs* Should be batting about #8 in all honesty. Really like that Rebels team tbh.

At 75/5 Tremlett had 2 and Sharma had 3.
So needed this to happen. Really offering nothing with the blade here. Hoping for Trott to carry on from this....http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2011/engine/current/match/474463.html

Bowled one over between them and then both knocked up 50s in the middle order. It shows how much form plays a part in this when O'Keefe and Faulkner are so much more useful in the middle order than genuinely good batsmen like Kanitkar and Kaul.
Aaaaand this was what I was playing on, even though it looked fucking shit tstl. Just took me 5 rounds to figure it out.
To be fair I'd probably still be picking Kanitkar in your position. No way would I bat Canning at 5 and playing 1000 bowlers. Well done though.
