[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

I thought Andrew Flintoff is out of the tournament

 

[ZexyZahid]

Last time I picked Sanath Jayasuriya as captain he was really disappointing. I am thinking of having another captain now.

Pick Colly then

Yes,you'll find that he is not there for selection.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I think he got confused, because these players were listed in the squad. But you've written them actually in different lettertype in the squad listing (also some lines above also), so I understood it, that they weren't playing.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Muralitharan will not play, atlist first 3 ODI against England he may get relace with Kaushal Lokuarachchi :cool:

 

[Highlander999]

I knew that

*Quickly goes and changes reserve bowlers line up*

 

[superstars]

The cutoff time was an hour late...I have corrected it

 

[ZexyZahid]

This isn't looking good for me. Maharoof has got wickets and Bell got a duck.

Bell is my captain : Whats happening? All my predictions regarding the captain selection are going wrong. Bell here and Yousuf there in another match :

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's all going wrong for me. Maharoof now with three wickets and Pietersen with only one run. And I didn't even think Maharoof would play looking at previous team selections.

 

[Abhas]

no maharoof for me as well... no bell though

 

[aussie1st]

Dam cricinfo said Maharoof wasn't playing. Wish I had made Jayasuriya my captain.

The middle order is pretty closely knitted.
A couple of good performances will see us take it right through.

Man of the Match-Farveez Maharoof.
