I've added my team. Just a query though.

Why didn't you just do a thing of the whole series? Instead of one for each match?

We discussed it but the main reason is that often half of the squad gets changed as series moves on, severely dis-advantaging some members. We do it as a complete series for ODIs though.

Yeah, that's the reason. I remember even in long ODI series the squad changes a lot, like for example in the Commenwealth series, which meant I had some injured players in my team. So with that my team couldn't perform. In order to avoid such things it's good to do one Test at a time.

And both teams have been named by now: they're the same as in previous match.

Yeah, also India deciding to bat first has made me edit my line up as well. Hopefully it works. :)

I already had my team in the order, considering India would bat first. But whether they would win or lose the toss, I wouldn't have changed much to my team. I am now even thinking of dropping Pietersen. Especially since he didn't make runs in previous Test and just had a virus.

I can replace Pietersen with Collingwood, but I see Pietersen has a great average at the Oval.

I dropped Dravid this time, and he is batting well :( hope Tendulakar and Dada also make some good runs too

I have gone with KP as a captain once again :D Dravid and Karthik in my team too.. But have Monty and Tremlett who have not done nothing till now. Hopefully they roar on the tail after India gets to a comfortable position ;)
