So, who to curse this time?

 

[Sedition]

I picked Strauss as captain so put him as first reserve thanks

 

[barmyarmy]

I've picked Finn ahead of Onions. Presumably if England opt for Onions instead I can get him swapped?

 

[Sedition]

Can only replace a player if they're injured before the game. If they're dropped/rested/overlooked, they have to stay in your team.

There's about a 10-15 minute window between the toss and the deadline closing if you need to make last minute changes.

I thought Gayle had solved his problems with his board and certainly would play the ODI series and possibly the last Test.

But I don't see that happening now.

I bet if I choose Bresnan in my team he will fail again.

This is old news, Gayle is back in the ODI line-up and frankly as much as WICB, Sammy and Gibson would rather not have him in the team they have no say on the matter!

Chris Gayle would certainly boost the Windies, since their top order has crumbled thus far against the English, my thoughts for the third test, well I hope Windies top order stand up fight a bit more.

 

[Ahmad Shah]

Any chance of Narine playing in the final test?

Check the dates of the article and my post. Both are earlier then the article of 5 June 2012.

But good to see he is coming back.

Steven Davies has been added to the squad:

Toss will be delayed by rain so we'll not know the team for a while.

 

[Sedition]

Cheers man. I've added an hour to the deadline for now. Will try to keep an eye on it and see if we get a proper start time.

 

[barmyarmy]

Sounds like a wash-out for the first two days!

 

[Sedition]

Damn.. Maybe they can arrange some declarations and try to get a result

I've added another hour and will set the deadline for day 2 if today is abandoned. Typical English weather
