There is no Malinga, so I am expecting a better betting performance from Australia. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are pretty strong at home Tests.

Who is expected to be the Australian spinner? Beer?

And who will be the new Australian opener next to Watson?

 

[CremerCurrans]

Phillip Hughes will be opening with Watson, and Michael Beer should be given the first test at least.

Among the bowlers from both teams I dont know who will play in the test apart from Johnson & Mendis...so many new bowlers there....amongst Copeland-Siddle-Harris wonder who will get in....Copeland got a '5 for' in the practice game.....Siddle was unimpressive...

 

[ZexyZahid]

I am already out of competition. My captain Watson is alread out for 22 runs. Next to that, I see Beer and Mendis aren't even playing. Mendis recently took 6 wickets in a T20I against Australia, so it isn't a smart move.

Not bad, guess my side wasn't as bad as I thought after Hughes failed.

 

[Paki007]

Two players didn't play and i still managed 7th good work

 

[Aswin8]

Thats bad as usual

 

[ZexyZahid]

Congratulations to the top 3.

I only played with 9 players, so I didn't have any chance.
