your team will not work as 3 players are injured and it is a doubt if panesar will play all the tests any way lets see how it works out for you :cheers
 
is it for 3 tests well then i think i choose the right team to play with, choosed harbhajan dont know he will play in first one or not but for 3 tests i think its ok. still hopes to be in top 3.

Damn I thought England were going to give M.Panesar a chance as it is a spinning wicket, but they seem to be sticking with Udal who imo is totally useless. Perhaps they want to benefit from his batting skills.
 
Don't worry. These are not the official teams for tomorrow.

And I also want give updates by correcting the scores after an innings like I said in the first post. I hope someone can tell me if it is possible or not.
 
The only problem with doing it inns by inns is if a guy like Flintoff gets a duck the bowling version of him should not lose points. But if you do it inns by inns and he gets the duck in the 2nd inns then the bowling version of him will lose points. Best to do it at the end of the test.

I took a punt and picked Wasim Jaffer. I have no idea on him but lets see. Fairly obvious who my captain is ;)
 
Well previous time I gave Gayle a duck as a batsman and no duck for a bowler, but still the system detected that there was no duck for Gayle as a batsman. That's why points weren't deducted for Gayle. Don't know how you fixed, but I had Gayle as bowler and still had points deducted after the fix. I think probably you gave him duck as a bowler, so overall everybody got a duck. Which means the seperate ducks didn't really work.

And personally I am in favour to give a person who is listed as batsman-allrounder, allrounder-bowler or batsman-bowler should be treated just like an allrounder (for in case he gets a duck) and shouldn't get seperate ducks when someone has chosen him in some position. It's just how I feel about it. Don't know how other people think about it.

And I just put some money on India. I hope they take this opportunity and win.

Thats how the scoring system is. I like it that way cause you have to lose one bowler to get the all rounder into the bowling slot and in turn you maybe rewwared if the all rounder gets a duck. So much for England falling apart to India.
 
I choosed Pathan as captain, because of his all-round skills & because he is likely to play all 3 tests.

I have choosed all the players that I think are likely to play all 3 tests! :)
 
Dam useless Ian Bell is out :(
Pathan hasn't struck early which is a bad sign. Jaffer could well be my trump card. I don't think many were crazy enough to pick him like myself. :D
 
I didn't pick Pathan because his bowling stats in India wen't the best. I actually thought a bit about selections for once.
 
I think I should have picked Flintoff as captain. I forgot that the Indian pitches reverse swing and Freddy is the king of it.
 
So the selection is for all tests?
I'mthe selction I have made will be for all tests and not the first one ?
