I have already contributed my whole money earlier. btw i still think that we will get good nationals.
We've already decided, and paid for them...
I'd like you guys to welcome your new teammates:
Sydney Barnes
Arguably the greatest bowler to have ever played the game, Sydney Barnes could do anything and everything with the ball. He swung it, he seamed it, he was accurate, and he grabbed 189 test wickets at 16 runs each with an economy of 2.36. Everyone and anyone who faced him ranked him as the best bowler they ever faced, even when he was in his late fifties.
Viv Richards
The most devastating batsmen in the game, Viv struck fear in the bowler's heart before he even faced a ball. Heck, he struck fear in the hearts of the fielders and those in the front row seats in the crowd as well! Destructive off the front foot, especially when hitting through midwicket, and a ferocious hooker and puller, Viv never batted with a helmet. Then again, he never needed to. He was that good.
Don Tallon
Don Tallon was rated as the finest wicketkeeper Australia ever produced by no other than Don Bradman, and was Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1949. There was no doubt by anyone who saw him that he was the finest gloveman produced by the country - Alert, agile and sure-handed, his stumpings were subtle, almost surgical, seldom involving the removal of more than one bail. As a batsman he was attacking, capable of tearing attacks apart, but never lived up to his potential, with an FC average of 29.14 and a test average of 17.13. However, he's still a very useful hitter for T20, and will definitely add a cutting edge to our bowling.

Wow we have got very good nats. Great work. just fixtures are left and then pcpl will start.
great choice guys, i would have definitely have had viv and sydney.
looks like I can look forward to smacking VV for 6 with viv, and cleaning up the sloggers with the stumpings of Don
and another thing, what about the batting line-up, can i be expecting to be in the middle-order, also, looking at the team list, only a handful of our players are active in the thread.
me,
amiya,
covvy,
KBC,
the spin,
whm
and zorax.
However, if team choice was left to me, i'd have the above, dr.pepper and our 3 nats.
there are other members who havn't posted as much as we'd have liked, but hopefully with success, they could be encouraged to post.
