Thats awesome Zahid.Great work.
I think Best ever Fantasy game I am gonna play.I was just thinking to PM you to hear no..lol..
But Thanks to whole Fantasy Staff.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

I will choose later, i am extremely confused

 

[Dare]

going to be hard figuring out which players will return to play cricket for their country.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

@ Zexy : I think we should exclude Bracken as he need rest for 4-6 weeks .

 

[vaibhav mehta]

It'll be extreme hard to chose the players though I know who going to perform so no problem.

 

[Skater]

I picked my team, it was pretty tough if I'm honest, a lot of thinking was needed. Looking at it, it contains:

6 Australians
1 Indian
1 New Zealander
1 Pakistani
2 West Indians

 

[ZexyZahid]

@ Zexy : I think we should exclude Bracken as he need rest for 4-6 weeks .

I said to choose your players well. Among that, everybody should choose their players looking into who they think will play or not, including rested and injured players.

 

[irottev]

Thanks for doing this! Must be a lot of work in it. Seems like a hell of a lot of fun. Being able to pick McGrath, Warnie and stuff again is magic! Just wish I could watch em

 

[pavanbharadwaj]

This time I have gone with the players I like rather than going with the players who are most likely to play well.

 

[SciD]

Mohali XI for life :P

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Just realizing someone is Back.

 

[SciD]

No point in picking foreigners. Specially Aussies.

Advice: Pick players from Mohali, Delhi, Chennai. They will be in Top 4 easily.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

And From Mumbai.they will be in Final.

 

[SciD]

These players will definately get you in finals. But only in dream :rtfl
