Can there be a "None of the above" option?

 

[plympilgrim]

[GrayNicolls]

I agree trev. No voting more ourselves. You will win, though.

 

[kookaburra69]

[m477yp4rk3r]

whens the first game starting plympilgrim??

 

[plympilgrim]

probalbly tommorrow, i have been bombarded with homework, i may do an update later on. But it will start tommorrow or Monday, and i shall be frequently updating

 

[aussie_ben91]

I don't care whose captain but you can count on me leading from the front.

 

[Saltires]

if the poll stays even, as it is at the moment, you could make one of the candidates captain of the A team and one captain of the B team and whoever wins the series is captain!!! just a thought

 

[plympilgrim]

a good idea perhaps that is what i shall do. Its not really an A vs B match it is just the whole squad playing and the teams are about equal.

More news to come later on, so stay tuned

 

[Jaztheman]

wahoo but i will make myself captain with my performances

Planet Cricket Details confirmed to the media!​

Media director of Planet Cricket Eugene Nkala Mbuma confirmed all the details of Planet Cricket to the large group of media press waiting outside what is the Planet Cricket headquarters in Venice, Italy.

He confirmed the kit, TV deals and programms and the stadiums. "I am very pleased with the start up of this club, we are looknig for big things. I believe we have the best squad possible and perhaps the best young coach at the moment. We have been apporached from lots of different angles from lots of different people. It id down to Matt and his team to pick the team, but we have spoke to him about all of the details i have given you today."

The Planet Cricket kit was shown off to the media in a press conference. 3 of the Planet Cricket players showed the kit off. Up and coming batter James Edmonds, All round wizard Ross Mathurs and wicket taking king Matty Parker were all their to model the kit. James Edmonds had this to say, "I am really looknig forward to the games beggining, it has been my life long ambition to play cricket, and now i have the oppurtunity." Also seen in the crowd were the bookies favourites for the captaincy Nic Davies and Jack Teague.

Mr Nkala Mbuma also said that they have agreed TV deals with Setanta Sport, to hold 2 shows every week. A match game talk, with host Imran Khan, and appearances from Viv Richards and Steve Waugh as well as many other cricketing legend.
