Post Line-ups Legends At Battle XII | Pre-season - Ready for action?

Lovely banner Dipak . :clap
 
Freddie just messaged us that he has no injury and that it was a prank of one of his 'cousins' (Reminds me of Raina), hence Rhodes won't get a chance this time and that swap is reverted.
 
Its been decided that South Africa will host Season V because its got the highest number of votes in the poll i.e 3. Here the the venues where the matches shall be played :-

If I were you, I'd give all the capable bowlers including the part-timers a go in a warm-up match.

Remarks- Going with a supposedly lower rated team, with more no. of batsmen, to see how they fare on a poor pitch. Also playing my second main spinner instead of Vettori!!
