Collingwood was given that as captain. Current ICC rules state that it's only per team. Once again an example of their incompetance.

Well done that man. Going on past experience he's got 12 wonderful trouble free years ahead of him before the **** hits the fan.

A girl, then.

13-14 years for boys.

Not really. Shahs match winning 82 in amongst four crap efforts is akin to the luxury flair player often over looked by football managers the world over. It's great at the time, but if you lose your next four matches and get relegated it means Jack.

Very observant of you lardy. I've got 2 of 'em. Just as the eldest got through to the other side and became 'normal' again the youngest took her place. Frigging nightmare.
