Think I got my drafts mixed up.

Probably means I'll lose my original pick but I'm pretty happy with that as an opening combo (damn you Somerset!)

Whatever it takes!!!
Trevor Goddard to replace Tony Greig as my allrounder at 6..


And a batting average of 35 and bowling average of 26 means he is more than qualified, and all of this over 40 tests.. :)

I'm sure there is more than one picture of Kohli on the internet. Thats like a stream of multi-posts up there.

I think I've got to re-do this round, as it's too easy. Everyone so far has 8-10 correct, with several 10s. Please don't send in any more.
Haha, I was only absolutely confident of 4 of them (questions 1, 4, 6 and 7) - the rest ranged from being pretty confident, to "surely it had to be that", to blind guesses.

Yeah, if you're making this round harder I'll have no hope.
Okay then. I shouldn't have thrown a strop, it's actually not as bad as I thought at first glance, and all the first responses have been from the typical high scorers. I've deleted my post, folks can continue sending in answers.
