I've taken out Dhoni off the Fantasy Cricket Game, before more people select him. He is banned from this Test. Six people registered currently. If you've got Dhoni, change him.

[Iridium]

Forgot he got banned for the last Test. Good spot.

 

[ZexyZahid]

According to Cricinfo the pitch is more batsman friendly (and thereby Indian friendly), but I've got enough of the Indian batsmen. I am only to include two Indians in my team.

 

[aussie1st]

I wouldn't recommend picking Warner, I have him in my team so he's bound to fail

 

[Sedition]

Dude, seriously? Pick Sehwag, or Gambhir, or Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman.. Yeah they're terrible, but sometimes they score runs on flat tracks.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's better then having another duck then Sehwag. The match will start after two hours. I will follow the cricinfo preview a bit before the match starts.

The Adelaide pitch should be actually the best way for India to win a match:

'The win-loss ratio for visiting teams is highest in Adelaide (0.28) and India are one of only two teams to win a match at the venue since 2000.'

Dude, seriously? Pick Sehwag, or Gambhir, or Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman.. Yeah they're terrible, but sometimes they score runs on flat tracks.

Got a couple of them Definitely don't pick Tendulkar he's my captain.

 

[Sedition]

The Indians must surely be due, but I've only picked 2 of them, so I'm either bottom 3 or top 3 Probably the first time I haven't picked Tendulkar, so look out.

 

[Addy]

same here. left out tendu finally. He wasnt doing any good.

 

[alexczarn]

Picked Saha ahead of Haddin as my keeper. nothing to lose.

 

[ZexyZahid]

After I saw Australia won the toss and chose to bat first I upgraded Warner as my bonus player.

Also I don't have a batsman as captain. Hopefully it will work out.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh yea got Haddin as a bonus, if that guy is going to make a career saving knock then I'm in business.

 

[Sedition]

Here I am thinking my choice of Kohli was some sneaky genius move, and every man and his dog has him

 

[aussie1st]

You needed to do it in the 3rd test, once he made runs every man and his dog was jumping on that bandwagon.
