England vs Pakistan 2006 ODI Series

[aussie1st]

1st match washed out, guess it is good news for me as I'm missing a bowler.

Edit: Ian Bell had a ripper

How you can you miss out Shoaib Akhtar? : I didn't follow the match, but it seems that rain saved England. But Younis Khan and later on Mohammad Yousuf could have made runs which could have helped me. Too bad the rain came.

 

[aussie1st]

Asif, Rana and my 3rd bowler is injured. Not too hard to miss Akhtar when both Asif and Rana have proven themselves.

^ true. picking the bowlers was very hard this time. I left out Harmison took Gough instead.

It will when Zahid gets a chance to do it.

It will when Zahid gets a chance to do it.

Really? I thought that this match will get abandoned!

Really? I thought that this match will get abandoned!

Why? The cricketers statistics didn't get abandoned and were added to their career stats. I have always counted rain affected matches in the past, i guess it is up to Zahid if he wants to count it or not.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I never accounted abandoned matches. Simply cause of the reason it would be unfair for the Fantasy Cricket managers, who had a player as captain who didn't get the chance to bat or bowl. The same counts for a normal player of a Fantasy Cricket manager's team who didn't bat or bowl or just a player in his team.

Off course rain matches in Test matches, but then they are accounted as draw, but in ODI's when overs can't be bowled within the limit, they will be abandoned.

 

[nightprowler10]

Fair points. But that's just part of the game to me. I'd say scrap it if only a few overs were bowled, but we have 57 overs here, but I see your point as well.

Update after the 1st ODI: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/engvpak/engine/match/225263.html

I got the three ducks of Pietersen, Strauss and Younis Khan. Asif got the two wickets of the first two players, but that was negated with the ducks. And this is looking bad already for me since Farhat and Harmison didn't play and don't seem to play in the upcoming matches.

1st ODI? :cool:

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've changed it. And it isn't looking good for the 2nd ODI at the current moment either.

 

[aussie1st]

Ahktar is killing me now. Wish I had kept him now as I had 3 Pakistan bowlers. My captain isn't bowling which isn't helping me.

 

[y2j826]

I dont have Akhtar or Asif in my team and they both are taking wickets, and then Gul is not playing Harmison is not playing so nothing for me from bowling side.

 

[surendar]

i was also having Harmison.. but he was ruled out of the series...

Also i ve KP, YounisKhan,Inzi and Collinghood who didnt perform well
