It is based on performance at Lords. So, you may not see a lot of top performers as their recent records at Lords are comparatively worse than those chosen. Also, matches too recent cannot be considered as the team was selected earlier.

Who came up with this team? Tamim? Seriously? They might as well take Zia instead.

3) The last time MCC took

Tendulkar captained

Why didn't Tamim get in on the selfie?

At first I thought it he wasn't there. Then I scrolled through the pages and I saw this

Last row, far left. Seems like he stepped out and missed out!

He isn't on any of these photos except that team one. http://www.espncricinfo.com/thestand...ry/757449.html

I was gonna watch this but it seems like they'll be 1970's ODI game with a dirty white shirts. Forget it! Move forward not back! Why couldn't they get color jersey!?
