    Returners

    For those who've had a prolonged absence from the forums at some point (I don't think I logged in between mid 2015 and mid last year for example) was there something that made you come back? Or was it just on a whim that you logged in again and then continued to do so to this day? I remember...

    Sri Lanka Thread

    The 30 man squad got named and the only real surprises was the random chinaman spinner Lakshan Sandakan finding a spot and Ramith Rambuckwella (famous for trying to open a airplane cabin door at 35,000 feet) taking the place of Chatarunga de Silva. This England series is showcasing our spin...
