FFS **** how can you still not get the point. Chapple's not going to be punished for anything. My point was that if you did punish a player for retiring now you would have to punish the entire Northern Hemisphere domestic system of players. Which would be daft.
But maybe the retiring players aren't keeping themseles in as good shape as the guys who are playing next season :ninja:
Trial Round 1 1. Ashwell Prince 2. Tim Paine+ 3. Owais Shah 4. Sachin Tendulkar 5. Paul Collingwood (6) 6. George Bailey 7. Shakib Al Hasan (4) 8. Shahid Afridi (5) 9. Stuart Broad (3) 10. Sreesanth (2) 11. Chris Martin (1) Wills probs go with that, I reckon. Actually got an abundance of potential opening options whilst having no quality ones.

No, actually, I put those tips in before the competition started, thanks. High horse - off it, ta. EDIT: Did come out harsher than I meant it too.
