What's with all these Banga and Zimb 12th man's? They're meant to be starting XI

no they're not

I must have missed that change. Purple said it's meant to be 1 of each 10 in the starting XI.

I should have put him in my 11. Too late now. The 12th man doesnt mean much

Pakistan sorry

 

[Plugger35]

I might have picked Asitha Fernando as one of my bowlers if I had my Sri Lankan pick again, 5 wickets in this current test so far.

I wouldn't swap him for Aravinda de Silva though, he has played more than one good test, one swallow doesn't make a summer.

Aravinda has the runs on the board, literally.
