[wizardoffire]

so any chance of a 4 day epic rainstorm or someone dig up the oval square

[owenclass]

Well i think this test will last a least three days

[wizardoffire]

England best not bat poorly otherwise my good start will be undone by having no aussie bowlers totally missed hazlewood not playing

[ooozzzie]

3-2 it is then.......we won !

Well done Backlash, even picking Cummins AND Haddin (who left for Australia 2 weeks ago!) doesn't seem to have had an effect

I did well when England did well and poorly when they did. Still I'm pleased with 4th

God comp this so thanks to Sp4 for running it.

[Backlash]

Great comp Spencer, thanks for running it .'Twas a nice addition to complement the Ashes win.

[Rick Spangle]

Ooh, so close
Well done SamD, and thanks to Spencer for running the game.

[foxinthebox2001]

Well played Backlash & overall Sam, and much gratitude to Spencer for running it.

[ooozzzie]

Brilliant thanks...... see you all in the winter of 2017 with a bit of luck.

[owenclass]

Hi Spencer was Mitchell Marsh in my team as i tried to transfer him out for Cummins but he did not play and my reserve Shaun Marsh did not play as well so im wondering did he stay in my team

[wizardoffire]

darn 8 points
congrats Sam and thanks for running Spencer

[Ducks Deluxe]

I can't believe that I utterly missed this game....dohh......

Having said that...I have had a look at the first couple of posts and it seems far too complex for me!

Well done to all of you who were 'in the hunt!'
