So as per the new rules I'm gonna do my best to talk to everyone.

I'll start with some squad changes and the upcoming friendly. (To avoid the still inevitable deposition I will try to be broad)

Could be as early as Monday. Colonel Harland David Sanders will have to fill in until we get a proper replacement.

As a rough guide, I'd say exceptional primary/tech. Spectacular power (except for spinners) and spectacular fielding. The reality is that sometimes we have to accept less secondaries than that.

Also, if a player is a wrist spinner and their nationality is USA then they've probably got a chance of getting in!

Outstanding is the absolute minimum and even then I'm hoping for better.

Other than obviously power, anything you want me to work on/is he looking like he'd be picked for nats in a couple of seasons? Batting shouldn't be far off a pop..

Batting and power (in whichever order you choose) are the concerns so it looks like you have it sorted.

I'll be in everyone's care for the next two seasons.

I think it's the best squad we have available for these conditions (full disclosure, I was involved in the selection).

Question to the USA community. Who reads this forum?
