@ PlanetCricket Arena

Well here it is, the 2008 OD Grand Final between the Downright Donkeys and the Merseyside Dynamos. We have already had a fantastic final in the 5-day competition and now comes the turn of the shorter version of the game. The Donkeys blitzed to the final in the league whilst the Dynamos scraped through in the final game. Should be another cracker at the PlanetCricket Arena...

Teams in ASAP, Random pitch to be selected
 
Giggity Giggity
Tassietiger
Jaztheman
Leicester Fox
ZoraxDoom
Cricketman
iloveireland
Therbs
Gilly_Fan
KBChandraw
Scion Sid

This is the team chosen by me but it can be over-ruled by Zorax for this match. So if he posts a team, use his.
 
Let's hope the OD game can live up to the FC game, which would be very hard.

I'd probably want the Donkeys to win!

Am I just hearing things, or is this thread murmuring the word 'reverse'. Turn up your speakers, you might hear it too.
