lol @ Robert Croft the perfectly round allrounder.

 

Yeah I believe I already did mine, your results are a little different though.

So, who would be the better starter - Masters or Magoffin?

Batting seems a little short in depth, hoping that Ganguly and Lara won't be needed all that much, tbh.

 

I included the English domestic season 3 years back.

 

Yeah that's the only one I missed, only really affected Croft and Masters though.

 

Yeah I'm inclined to agree as well, but Masters stats are quite impressive tbh.

Seems like my side has a pretty impressive core but weakish depth.

 

See who goes better in the trial

 

Proud to see that all my curries/sand niggers have all played test cricket, so none of them are randoms.

 

Caloundra Lighthouses first up. I'd hope to beat them during the season when half their attack is on the sidelines but in the first game, we'd probably get our asses whipped.

 

Trial form (hey, it's not 100% relevant, but meh)

Everyone was good at batting, except Barath. Still, it's a-ok.

Disappointing other than Amir (and for one innings, Tuffey).

 

Lost to Caloundra (but apart from the 1st innings it wasn't too bad) and murdered Titans. So probably mid-table madness for me.

Diary Entry - After the trials

After some controversial dealings at the Spastic Centre, the team was raring to go after 2 trials.

Despite being given $1 million to throw the match by Lighthouses opener Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir still took 8 wickets in his only trial, albeit against a weak Titans side. Coach Morgan Burridge had to say about the trials...

"Apart from the 1st innings against Caloundra, we played damn good. Gave the Tits a right arse thrashing and bowled a fairly strong Caloundra lineup for under 200 in the 2nd innings. Think we'll finish mid-table, though"

 

Explain how I was.

Most of this is just taking the piss anyway.
