kool me on both team lol

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I, being Simon Jones, have great respect for Asian XI's Nitesh Hemlani, and refuse to score off him or get him out.

 

[The Spin]

Zorax if you did that it would be pointless

In real cricket im sure flintoff respects gilchrist but it doesnt stop him taking the wicket every time they meet

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Lol...just kidding

 

[The Spin]

I am currently in the process of selecting the team. Players that nobody has registered for can be chosen and before the 1st competitive game 2 warm-ups will be played. To save time I will not be posting screenshots but will give a match summary and stats. These will be the start of the season. They are against USA and Namibia. Then we play Asians XI as the first big match. For all other matches screenshots will be posted

Why didn't Flintoff bowl???

Flintoff wasnt needed to bowl, he was going to in the last 10 overs

With the Ashes XI - Asian XI the next match what do you think so far, who should play in the test an ODI sides and do you think we will win.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I should definately be in. Averaging 13 with the ball. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Hemlani should handle my bowling quite easily

 

[The Spin]

Please post your thoughts and who you think should play the ODI and Test against Asian XI

And Zorax, you can stop making jokes about playing for both teams
