heh just realised it said that in the title...

Canterbury would like express their dissapointment in Mills not being selected. If reports are true he is currently crying at his mother's place.

i tend to agree that the tightest matches will be between the Ocianians and the ROW, though we have made it quite clear to our players not to underestimate the UK teams. Players like Bevan and Ramage are exceptionally talented and present a much greater threat than anyone in the UK squad. as for the 4 dayers the likes of Lehmann, Lara, O Clarke,Muralitheran, E howarth and ofcourse Jenkins look alot more dangerous than the UK boys, despite the inclusion of kent superstar Hawkins.

i think that it will be close bewteen all sides but i expect the ROW sides to pull through in both forms, with the Aussies and Kiwi's alot closer behind than the pommies :):)

Wrong. Have you guys looked at our side? We are so great. Prepare to be mauled by the poms. And those demmed muppets from the ROW will have a team who are as bad as Bin Ladens social skills.

The UK 4d line up is awesome...
Howarth (58), Kambli (62), Flower (54), Dravid (54), W.Tendulkar (51), Jayawardene (50), Ponting (52).

To go along with the bowling attributes of Gregson, Hawkins and Harwood. Add one more bowler to that mix and we've got quite a team...

The irony of course is that, none of them are British!

Check out the ROW batting line-up:

R Llewellyn 60, A Kale 59.36, V Sehwag 54.65, T Darden 66, S Graham 58, L Ronchi 50 (WK), M Beasley 41, F Maqbool 25, M Shrinivas 28. 9 out of the 11 starting the first game against Oceania. Just a "touch" better than England :D:lol:

How about your bowling?? ours is(strike rates):

I Nelson 37, F Maqbool 39, M Beasley 37, W Younis 40, M Shrinivas 46.

Let's hope we win our first game :D:lol:
