Match 23 completed as at at March 1st.

Charles was a decent replacement imo..especially when you consider that he has an ODI ton in Australia to his name. I expect him to replace the hapless Smith.

However the bowling still remains a massive concern...should wukless Miller get another try in place of Benn? or should we leave out the spinner altogether and give Roach or Cotts a go? regardless something has to change with the bowling otherwise they might aswell come home already

Anyway old boy who you backing? you fathers team or your favourite HOLIDAY destination?

Will India's bowling attack be sufficiently mediocre and the wicket sufficiently flat for our 'batting superstar' to score big?

Smith out for six Samuels run out for two and ramdin out for a duck....

Gayle making 21 looks good compared to this crap.
