No Stokes to throw it away.... No Carlos to snatch it at the death.... Warner can't buy a run.... Kohli's swansong..... what's not to like?

This FL will start at the Super 12 stage, when the big boys come in Saturday 23rd October, so if you want to pick Shakib, Stirling, Coetzer or vd Merwe make sure they've qualified first

Teams to be in by the toss on the 23rd ahead of the Australia/South Africa clash

Good luck, and.... hey, hey, hey...... let's be careful out there

1) Dawid Malan (Eng)
2) Virat Kohli (India)
3) KL Rahul (India)
4) Mohammed Rizwan (Pak)
5) Tabraiz Shamsi (SA)
6) Adil Rashid (Eng)
7) Mujeeb Ur-Rahman (Afg)
8) Mohammed Nabi (Afg)
9) Kieron Pollard (WI)
10) Andre Russell (WI)
11) Mitchell Marsh (Australia)

This is closing in. Time to get teams in.

Rashid (Afg)
Marsh (Aus)
Maxwell (Aus)
Buttler (Eng)
Livingstone (Eng)
Kohli (Ind)
Rohit (Ind)
Azam (Pak)
Rizwan (Pak)
QdK (SA)
Conway (NZ)

might change yet when we find out who qualifies from the first part of the tournament

Nabi (Afg)
Shakib (Ban)
Maxwell (Aus)
Buttler (Eng)
Malan (Eng)
Adil Rashid (Eng)
Kohli (Ind)
Rohit (Ind)
Azam (Pak)
Shamsi(SA)
Southee (NZ)

Shakib al Hasan (Bang)
de Kock (SA)
Kohli (Ind)
Maxwell (Aus)
Buttler (Eng)
Rizwan (Pak)
Shamsi (SA)
Rabada (SA)
Rashid (Eng)
Ferguson (NZ)
Jamieson (NZ)

Might have to be some Shakib related shuffling around amongst the teams as Bang slide inexorably to defeat at the hands of the mighty Scotland

Didn't look like Scotland were going to set a winning total.

Batters have been doing well recently.

My side hoping they're all in squads

1) Quinton do kock (wk)
2) Babar Azam
3) Mitch Marsh
4) Avishka Fernando
5) Eoin Morgan
6) Dasun Shanaka
7) Shadab Khan
8) Chris Jordan
9) Dwayne Bravo
10) Dushmantha Chameera
11) Mark Wood

The twins say...

Maxwell
Buttler
