Your currently ahead of me guys. I'm also glad I am doing better than last week when I dropped from knocking on door of top 100 to well into 200's! Currently 325 with Chiristian (c), Lynn, Rearden, Cutting, Richardson, and Zampa to come.

I'm waiting on hearing World Cup squads announced before I rev any of it up.
I think they get announced in 10 days time. Then will put them all in spreadsheet and categorize all the players involved.
FDL draft starts tomorrow so once that is fully under way apart from my own research on players to pick in FDL I'll then use free time to work on Cricket game and some preparing for footy keeper league pre-season. The World Cup does not start until Feb 14th so my early plans would run the auctions style part of cricket game in early Feb at latest or Australia Day period at earliest.
England and Bangladesh have named their 15 man squads.
This week all the rest should start to be announced.

The thing you have to consider with the declaration as well is that Darren Lehmann and Brad Haddin wouldn't exactly be mute observers throughout the batting innings and I very doubt that a debutant captain would ignore his experienced 2IC or the coach if they actually did tell him they team's tactic (and deceleration) needed to change. IT would be something they all decided on.
I can confirm that throughout the entire mornings play Smith was sitting right beside Lehman talking pretty much non-stop, presumably about the time to declare as Lehman was continually getting out of his chair and looking at the sky checking the weather. I know this because I was sitting right beside the players box, literally the closest spectators seat to Smith for days 4 and 5 :)

Stars come away with an unlikely win after taking the game to a Super Over!! Still hope for a finals berth.

By the way, whilst the Test match is on channel nine live, some of us , like me can catch the Super Over end to last night's T20 clash on Channel One of Ten network. Replay on now. Guess the time to watch is after lunch in Test match as on the replay Stars innings only about to start now. Ok, time for me to flick back to channel nine for Test match till lunch break. Then see what happened last night at end.
