you should be able to declare, but id say if a team did declare in a one dayer the captain would be accused of match fixing no doubt.

no he isn't. Ricky Ponting plays to win not give half chances to beggers :P

The Aussies are bad sports. Fancy picking Gilchrist, Hayden, Ponting, Gillespie, Warne. It's not fair on England at all.

Used to happen, until Brian Close declared on 1-0 off 1 over so that Somerset were guaranteed to go through the group stages of one of the One Day Tournament's back in the 70's.

They were thrown out for going against the spirit of the game!

Well it's tough isnt it. Even if they picked an under 19 side it wouldnt be fair on England. They are always going to be the bad guys arent they...;)
