The Test team this week have been working hard all week to fix up their mistakes from the last game, and during the week they boldly came out and said that they should win based on having the best two all-rounders in world cricket. Suddenly Andrew Flintoff was celebrating, thinking he was certain to get a game. Unfortunately for him, they were talking about Kallis and Gilchrist. Then the ODI team came back at them weakly, using the pretty lame excuse that they had the exact same players in their team.
The conditions are perfect for sub-continental cricket, no chance of rain, no chance of a boring game, huge chance of a riot. Looking forward to seeing how this one pans out.
Note: I am controlling the Test team this time, as I am alternating between the two.
