Edited the cut-off time to 10:00 AM GMT. Earlier, it was 2:43 PM GMT.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I was actually thinking about dropping Gayle from my team about his comments about Test cricket. But I let him stay and so far he took one wicket. I am just hoping that he won't get another duck.

I also took Bopara. Not sure if that will work out. Cook has scored a fifty already.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Bopara has a fifty also. If you don't have one of these two batsmen, you're already in trouble. I am hoping for about 5-6 wickets from Swann.

 

[Akash00]

Gayle is my captain for this one and he has already got a wicket.

 

[ZexyZahid]

England is piling up runs. It will be good for me if England batsmen score heavily, so they won't have to bat again.

 

[McLOVIN]

damn Bopara! didnt expect that!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Edwards is the only West Indian bowler I have. From reading this it doesn't look that good:

'Edwards isn't happy. Twice now he's pulled up a little short in his follow-through, with a grimace. We're thinking it's his ankle, but can't confirm yet.'

ZexyZahid added 5 Minutes and 39 Seconds later...

This is quite surprising. Only I, MacLovin and windy1983 have Cook in their teams. Only I and Themer have Bopara and Cook in their teams. Themer has Broad as captain. So it will be good for me if Cook scores a lot of runs.

 

[McLOVIN]

so are you saying NO one else have Cook?

i have him as +

MacLovin added 7 Minutes and 39 Seconds later...

why do i get the feeling that KP wont do well?

 

[aussie1st]

Looks like the Windies will be batting twice and I've got 2 batters from them so could go alright.

 

[ZexyZahid]

so are you saying NO one else have Cook?

i have him as +

Only three players have Cook, including me. But some people have Bopara and don't have Cook.

I am just hoping that Collingwood won't score. He is the only player I don't have from the top 6 of England.

 

[McLOVIN]

washed out! not good! i need some Shiv magic

 

[ZexyZahid]

I drop Anderson and he already got three wickets. And he is the only English bowler I don't have. Collingwood scored also 60 unusefull runs.

 

[McLOVIN]

Sarwan isnt helping here either! :

 

[ZexyZahid]

He already got already 41 runs. Hisrecord in English pitches is normally poor.
