[Sureshot]

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]

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]

Cook will be in my team for sure then Going to be interesting figuring out this one.

 

[Smack]

which ground is the first test being played at?

 

[Sureshot]

Lords is always the first test of the summer.

 

[y2j826]

GO PLAY for CRICKET COACH this time . . .

 

[Abhas]

any news about chaminda vaas?

 

[cricket_lover]

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

 

[Abhas]

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

 

[ZexyZahid]

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

 

[aussie1st]

Good to see more prizes been given away.

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]

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]

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