Haven't put any thought into batting order yet and will probably wind up drafting a couple more first-choice bats. Definitely need a couple more bowlers in the squad. Have been picking a squad rather than a team so far.

Still, given that I've picked exclusively English players and internationals (and all my English players are capped) I'm reasonably happy with the side.

Haha it would've been awesome if you actually restricted yourself completely to English players right through the draft.

I was gonna pick James Foster and Furball beat me to him. So I went with a foreign keeper.

If I hadn't picked Boucher I might well have tried to stick to my guns.

Will be giving less rope to the non-English players though if they cock up.

Should've just picked Read when Furball screwed you and moved on as normal IMO.

Would be happy throwing the ball to any of the batsmen and I have the unmovables at 10 and 11. Good luck trying to beat me, ****s.

So what's happening with Corrin's team? I'm quite happy to post his lineups for him if he emails me them.
