'when all else fails, read the rules'

I read them yesterday.

I think I've gone:

Cook
Rogers
Trott
Pietersen
Clarke
Watson
Prior
Swann
Pattinson
Starc
Anderson

Are you all surprised by this?

Despite naming my team after the Belf I couldn't bring myself to select him:

Root
Rogers
Trott
Pietersen
Clarke
Watson
Prior
Swann
Pattinson
Finn
Anderson

Probably should have picked Cook but didn't want to go for all of the obvious players.

Looking back at that post I seem to have misspelt 'Haddin' as 'Prior'.

So how many now?

Don't know why lardy's keeping it on the down low. If it's to keep out the riff raff, it makes no sense to bring it to the FB's attention at all.

Is that even possible? Entered too late for this test?

I suggest you read two posts above.

Read threads??? F*ck that! Why only Cowan?

:wooosh:

It was a joke. I can't pick anyone. Cowan did nothing, so would have a score of nada, zilch, zero....which is what I'm on.

Geddit now...

Wow.  The only team I'm beating is the one that has no players.

Make Prior captain, I thought. He always gets runs.

I'm not much better

Jackson Bird really let me down in the first innings.

Who is 3wheelin straggler?

Uhh, Trike?

Because tricycles have three wheels. That's what the 'tri' part means.
