On a more serious note, is there actually any kind of league in Norway? And do you play in it?

there is, there was an article in the Sunday Times today on the global game and it mentioned Norway in the graphic "There are now 19 teams in Oslo and Norway finished top in an 11 nation tournament in Austria"Barney Rubble said:

Think it's 16 in Oslo, one in Bærum (where I come from) and one in Drammen. And there's actually two leagues - with a running promotion and relegation system - and it's been going for at least four years.superkingdave said:
Norway also won a 9-team tournament in Belgium this year - we (um, I mean Pakistan AZBE) are top ten in Europe.
The trouble is that the working language of the league is Urdu. Plus, my eyesight is worse than Neil's, so I'd be a right awful batsman.

International Captain
1. Yalaka Venugopal Rao - He should really be the prime contender for a test XI spot if one of the test batsmen gets replaced. He is a classic-mould test batsman and a throwback from the earlier days - excellent technique, good solid strokes and takes his time settling in. Not suited for ODI batsman ( a bit of Rahul Dravid earlier in his career ) but looks ready for Test cricket - has demolished almost any attack in domestic cricket and had one virtuoso performance where he scored an ubeaten 228 in the 4th innings to defeat ENG-A team, comprising of Mahmood-Francis-Simon Jones-Tredwell.
2. Shikhar Dhiwan - a solid and extremely talented opener who lit up the stage at U-19 world cup and has peformed pretty well in domestic cricket - he is one for the future and i can see him playing Tests for IND in 2-3 years time if Gambhir and Jadhav (who i think should be the next in line) fails
3. Dheeraj Jadhav- a opener in the mould of Matty Hayden - a thumper of the ball and extremely strong off his pads. He should get a chance to display his wares if Gambhir doesnt perform well
4. Shib Shankar Paul - A up-n-comming pacer in Indian domestic scene - his forte is that he bowls it medium fast, has an excellent outswinger to the right-handers ( for a change he isnt yet another left arm pacer from India) has a good command of line and length and gets it to bounce more than most indians due to his height. If Indian selectors clean up their acts and drop perinneal mediocres like Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar etc. from the test squad on a permanent basis, he would be next in line after Pathan,Balaji and a much-improved Nehra.
5. Suresh Raina - a hard-hitting talented batsman who is very young and perhaps his only failing is that he gets carried away (due to inexperience) and plays too many shots. Needs a few more seasons in domestic cricket and A-tours but he is definately one for the future.

Not sure. I don't even know if they will... I'm not sure he's going to be good enough to play tests as a bowler, unless he really improves. I really liked the look of him in the OD games I saw last year, he played a particularly excellent knock in the 20/20 against Pakistan for Australia A. If his batting continues to grow, and he can be fairly economical with the ball (which I think he can... he's quick and flat and has an excellent wrong'un), he can be a good ODI player. His first class averages though... well I guess they'll cross if his batting average pushes up into the 30s.Barney Rubble said:

Cameron White improved both parts of his game dramatically last season and singlehandedly defeated Queensland at the 'Gabba. It's good that we have White and Cullen coming through as spinners while Watson and White can both claim to be allrounders. I think all 3 will play quite a few tests.
