[SciD]

Which bowlers will play 100%?

 

[McLOVIN]

i wanna take the new WI bowlers who did well on pratice matches. but not sure if i should.

 

[SciD]

I might I end up with bowlers who will be sitting in dressing room.

 

[McLOVIN]

hopefully i will do good in this one, i am not doing so good in IPL and its been a while ...

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is annoying. Gayle was my captain earlier on. But I changed it into Pietersen after seeing his impressive average of 80.20 at Lord's.

Expect a run-fest at draw-prone Lord's

But this guy gets a golden duck! And I tried to fit in Bopara, but that would mean I would have to drop either Cook or Chanderpaul. I didn't take him and now I see he made already 66 runs.

 

[Abhas]

I've a decent team for this one so far ...

Batsman 1 Andrew Strauss
Batsman 2 Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Batsman 3 Ravinder Bopara
Batsman 4 Ramnaresh Sarwan
Batsman 5 Kevin Pietersen +
Wicket Keeper Matthew Prior
All-Rounder 1 Chris Gayle +
Bowler 1 Fidel Edwards +
Bowler 2 Jerome Taylor +
Bowler 3 Stuart Broad
Bowler 4 Darren Sammy

Chanderpaul is the impact player. If he fails, I might end up lower than i expect to.

 

[McLOVIN]

should have picked Fidel Edwards as a bonus

 

[ZexyZahid]

Cricinfo was saying it would be a batsman's pitch. It really didn't turn out like that.

 

[aussie1st]

SOB I had Bopara as captain! No Edwards will cost me in the long run.

 

[Akash00]

Dam Bopara, I don't have him. I hope my captain, Chanderpaul, does well.

 

[Akash00]

I have Graeme Swann has bonus, so I hope he makes a century too.

 

[Abhas]

He's going great at the moment.. 62 runs!!
I picked Darren Sammy ahead of Swann !! :

 

[Abhas]

I so knew it !! Chanders gone for a golden Duck, and Swann gets 2 wickets apart from his 63 runs

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is great. Now I've got two players with a duck in my team. Chanderpaul joined Pietersen in that team.

Good thing is that Swann got two wickets. MacLovin has him as captain.
