[Paradox]

Thanks for the prompt reply Inswinger.

[Paradox]

Still waiting for insurge's NZ squad to be posted..

[Paradox]

The game starts in around 5 hours.

Insurge, please post your squad or I'll have to choose it for you, or if Inswinger (opposing team manager) wants to, he can pick any eleven players he wishes to to play for you.

Thanks

[Paradox]

Insurge, I'll wait a bit more for you to post your squad - otherwise I'll be starting.

[Paradox]

I've chosen the NZ squad for insurge:

McCullum (wk)
Watling (d)
Guptill
Crowe (l)
Taylor
How
Styris
Oram
Vettori (c)
Mills
Bond

[Paradox]

Insurge, if you fail to appear for another game next time, I'm afraid we'll have to pick another manager for NZ.. I get really disappointed when a manager does not appear for their team's game.

[Paradox]

I'll post the scorecard:

I saw that earlier but had no reason to complain.

[Paradox]

Originally Posted by iHammad Wasn't England supposed to bowl first?

But maybe NZ wanted to bowl first since it was a bowling pitch anyway.. the reason might have England might have batted?

Haha, jokes aside I'm sorry. Didn't notice the toss decision.

[insurge]

I am sorry, I wasn't aware when my games will be played. I will adhere to the schedule posted and will post my squad next time! Many apologies!
