[Dan]

This is happening? Holy ****, I never thought I'd see the day.

Selection was actually rather difficult, all my players are equally mediocre. Wanted to give Dockrell a game, but Botha performed in the trial.

1. Alastair Cook *
2. Sam Robson
3. Nick Compton [7]
4. Darren Bravo
5. Faf du Plessis [5]
6. Peter Nevill +
7. Ben Stokes [6]
8. Johan Botha [4]
9. Neil Wagner [3]
10. Nathan Rimmington [2]
11. Trent Boult [1]

General Instructions:

• Bowl Faf as a legitimate fifth option, but only chuck Stokes on as a partnership breaker or for a handful of overs. Compton if absolutely nothing is looking like working.
• Bunny Boult.

[Jarquis]

There is progress being made ftr. Just creating pitches/editing player roles/preferred batting positions/bowling styles is tedious as **** and I'm back at Uni where there's more enjoyable things to be doing. It will happen. Soon.
