OA Shah

A Flintoff

RJ Sidebottom

RT Ponting

BJ Haddin

B Lee

KP Pietersen

SR Clark

[Zaz]

Is Panesar likely to play? If not, who will be England's spinner if they select one?

[Mongrel]

Swann is No. 1 at the moment and rightly so. Panesar has been very ordinary for much of his career.

[Zaz]

Hughes

Katich

Bopara

Hussey

North

Flintoff

Haddin

Johnson

Swann

Siddle

Hilfenhaus

Might have to bring in Clark for Hilfenhaus though as he might not get a gig.

Jacks with Bats and Balls:

MEK Hussey AUS 9500

RS Bopara ENG 9000

KP Pietersen ENG 10000

PJ Hughes AUS 9000

RT Ponting AUS 1000

SR Watson AUS 9000

BJ Haddin AUS 9000

GP Swann ENG 8500

SCJ Broad ENG 8500

MG Johnson AUS 9000

PM Siddle AUS 8500

Swann will play for England as spinner, they might play a second (Rashid or Panesar) for the first test as Glamorgan prepare pitches for sometimes 3 spinners in their side. If either plays and plays a blinder then Swann might be out but its long odds for that to happen.

Interesting to see you guys going for Onions and Sidebottom, at best they are fighting for the 4th seamers spot behind Flitoff, Anderson and Broad and I reckon neither will play in the first test. And Shah? Sorry but barring injuries there's no way he is getting in for Cardiff.

[9 to 5]

That makes 8 of us so far, a decent little league.

[Ace]

I've made a couple of changes.

I wasn't 110% sure whether Flintoff could do it again, but I realised I'd feel like an idiot if he DID and I left him out. So Pontings Out for Hussey, and Collingwood's out for Flintoff.

[9 to 5]

I had a few changes to make myself, with Lee getting injured. Lee and Onions out, Flintoff and Hauritz in.

[MGW]

THad to make some last miniute changes, Lee and Sidebottom out, Anderson and Clark in

[Zaz]

Dammit, swapped Hilfenhaus out for Clark cos I didn't think he'd get a game

If anybody wants another chance, you can enter the Aussie comp too.

Don't worry, I only started today as well, so I don't have an unfair advantage.
