Our captain is now the legend player but will surely miss him from the next season. Hope he plays well and gets a good send-off.

Then it would please you to know Taylor plays on in Test cricket until 1932. So you'll still have him around for a couple more seasons.

Or you could keep 'em both. I doubt too many people will put their hands up to manage a team like Chile.

Then I can keep them both both unless someone knocks for Chile.

A good choice too. They nearly won a Bronze medal in 1920.

@VC the slogger can I have Bermuda as well?

Sure. That'll probably help speed things up around here.

This side is really a shadow of what it used to be, but our main goal here is to defeat the Canadians. I'm confident that our high-class opening pair of Furness and Kortlang can pack a punch.
