@Dipak we're fielding only three overseas players. Is that alright to you? Have a look at the lineup. Shaun Marsh is the most notable omission but Kane Wiliamson warrants a place over him.

 

[Dipak]

Marsh did bat well in the warmup so I'd suggest Marsh in for Pomers, another thing that worries me is the long tail.

 

[Varun]

@Dipak Johnson and Philander can bat. Pomers is here because of his Sheffield Shield season. Also, we lack proper all rounders, so a long tail with bowling all rounders make sense?

 

[Varun]

Also, Cook's going to be with the team the entire season.

 

[Dipak]

As you wish. If Pomers fails we will give Marsh/North a gig. But I still feel Marsh should play

 

[Varun]

Okay, this is a long tournament. No issues.

 

[GlitchInTheMatrix]

Sathis will post.

 

[Umair7]

Argh disappointed with our bowlers well lets hope we start winning once the tournament kicks off

 

[Umair7]

Trent Copeland in for Misbah and moves to 11
