Thanks Laura  goodjob
I really hope he can do well, as well as the other Brit players...... it would be fantastic to see more players break through to the top 100..... and i think maybe Jamie can do that..

Ooooh...... you added a poll Very Happy I said 3...... but to be honest that was just a random number that came to my head  Whistle Although by 2007.... i reckon there'll be Andy, Bogdovonic (spelling?), and possibly Baker, if not maybe Greg or Tim if one of them decides to stick around longer.

Surely they'll have retired by the end of 2007?

When a player retires, how soon does he get out of the top 100?

 upfunny Will be pretty ridiculous if they don't.  dontknow
I dunno.. i predict definitly not more than 4 players, 3 if we're lucky! Yes.. it's not exactly encouraging, but it's Britian we're talking about here.  Think

Very true, and realistic...... of coarse we'd love to have loads of players in top 100..... but realistically, i don't think we'll ever have loads ......

Well look how quickly Tim dropped down, even when he was playing...

And even if they are still in the top 100, it doesnt really count if they've stopped playing, does it?
