Please mark your bowlers with :bwl:, captain with :c: and keeper with :wk:.
No more than two star players allowed in your playing XI.
Please use the pretty flags, as you would in the other formats.
 
Hopefully this will be our chance to get on the winning side of the table with the home ground advantage. Should be a close one.
 
hope for a win in FC this time. .after a disappointed lose in the last match
 
Ugh, another flat pitch, another difficult game for the bowlers I'd expect
 
:aus: :bat: Nick Agger
:ind: :ar: Aditya Jha
:ind: :bat: Blitzberg Steel
:pak: :bat: Misbah ul-Haq
:ind: :wkb: Varun Rustagi
:nor: :ar: Svenke Ulberg
:aus: :bwl: Brad Hogg
:ire: :bwl: Ern Shylock
:aus: :bwl: Kai Winch
:ned: :bwl: Rick Adams
:sco: :bwl: Alexander McKenzie :c:

We're going unchanged, we should have enough batting in the top six and Hogg can bat reasonably well if he needs to. Again all bowlers listed as bowlers and all-rounders to bowl.
 
Good luck to the Hugging Muffins.

The controversial one is here to offer any advice to the Nine Dragons on how to recover after turning up on the losing end.
