For England Cook is almost certainly going to play at 3 instead of Bell.

Just a little hint, so no one get's annoyed

Anyone know if Murali is definitely back?

ZexyZahid · 8th May 2006, 07:59 PM

Yeah, I read that news about Cook too. And I read in some article Muralitharan he would come back to England, so I presume he will play.

aussie1st · 8th May 2006, 10:07 PM

Cook will be in my team for sure then

Going to be interesting figuring out this one.

Smack · 9th May 2006, 12:06 PM

which ground is the first test being played at?

Sureshot · 9th May 2006, 01:19 PM

Lords is always the first test of the summer.

*Abhas* · 9th May 2006, 07:35 PM

any news about chaminda vaas?

cricket_lover · 9th May 2006, 07:55 PM

Vaas should be playing...though no confirmed reports yet. Same goes with Murali.

*Abhas* · 9th May 2006, 07:57 PM

i hope they both play... they're in my team...

ZexyZahid · 9th May 2006, 09:37 PM

What's wrong with Vaas? He played the last tour match.

aussie1st · 9th May 2006, 10:01 PM

Good to see more prizes been given away.

I like this idea better than the BLIC one, where you had to sign up for the whole series.

Octavius · 10th May 2006, 12:07 AM

such a shame the way it works ...you cant have Fintoff, Collingwood AND Maharoof

because they are the only allrounders listed, surely Samaraweera and Kapugedera count as all rounders too, not to mention Kulasekera or perhaps even Dilshan?

Iron-Haggis · 10th May 2006, 02:49 AM

Pick Collingwood as a batsmen, Flintoff as an allrounder and Maharoof as a bowler. Then you can have all 3.
