| It's a six-a-side tournament as far as I'm aware, the title is a bit misleading so I'll change it.  It is a five-overs a side series, with the nine teams arranged into three pools. Each member of the team has to bowl one over (excluding the wicket-keeper). Batsman have to retire at 31, amongst other (slightly bizarre) rules included here: http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/20...ONDITIONS.html

| SA Squad Nicky Boje (c), Imraan Khan, Lance Klusener, Albie Morkel, Justin Ontong, Thami Tsolekile, Johan van der Wath Morne van Wyk would have been my option as 'keeper. But Thami it is then... I reckon the selectors didn't want another Eagle in the side, seeing as there's 2 already. |

| How many people really care about this crud. I suspect some I.C.C. pinhead thought this would appeal to americans.  . |

| No it is not real cricket but I think players chosen for the Sixes could also expect to play in 20/20s for their country. |

| Ok... England hand obvious Sixes candidates like Prior and Mustard a place on the Test tour... and then send obvious Test candidate Steve Davies to play sixes - I'm sure it makes sense to somebody... |
