India vs England 2006 First Test

[aussie1st]

I don't have the first two. I figured England are going to be in trouble thus more time for Jones to bat. Part one was right however Jones didn't keep his end of the bargin up.

you dont have dhoni and pietersen thats where u make a mistake, however i got bell and strauss but dont think they will play well, and as collingwood scored 100 thats good for me. but prob is that he is not my bonus player.

 

[aussie1st]

Pietersen isn't a mistake yet and may not be. I have Sehwag who could do anything. Also Wasim Jaffer opening so who knows. Dhoni possibly a mistake but again anything can happen.

 

[y2j826]

true, anything can happen even monty can score some big runs, u also got collingwood and thats plus point for u also, and sehwag he can score runs but dhoni is not even a bad choice these days.

 

[aussie1st]

Dhoni is a good pick but I'm hoping he doesn't do much Jones hopefully will do something next inns or next game. Batters you never know but I have a problem as Harmisson opens the bowling. While I have both Indian openers. I think I'll like both to get 100s then Harmisson start taking wickets.

 

[y2j826]

thats really a prob for u, u got both of the openers and even u know one its only happens sometimes that both openers score runs, so thats a risk for u, i got dravid and tendulkar and one of them will play fine and it will work for me, cuz i got dhoni and from bowlers harmison and flintoff too.

 

[aussie1st]

Well they usually get a 100 stand so that could be 50 runs each. I would really like Jaffer to get runs as not many have him.

 

[y2j826]

lets see what will happen, cuz even pitch is getting uneven bounce and anything can happen may be they both got out under 10.

 

[aussie1st]

Thats true, its hard to say. But even with all that the captain is still vital. Right now Pathan has been a great captain. Already 90 points from his bowling, that would take some batting from Dravid and co. Then he may make a 90 via batting. Flintoff may well do the same which is an advantage to us who have these all rounders over batters.

Sree Santh is a big miss for most of those that don't have him. Harmisson better make up the difference cause I picked him over Sree Santh. At least he got some runs to cover the damage.

 

[y2j826]

sehwag gone for 2 so ur 100 run dream chase is over but jaffer is doing well this time.

 

[aussie1st]

Well I don't mind that, heaps have Sehwag anyway. Jaffer is who I want to make a big score. Too bad this is such a long series, 3 test matches means so much can happen.

 

[akira2291]

really unlucky for me that ive choosen raina instead of clongwood, but i went to this, because: 90 player registered. to enter the top 3 you have to have a spezial team, not a team, everyone will have, so jaffer and cook at this time would be great, if they can keep this up. of course colingwood have to be in the squad

 

[y2j826]

as its name shows i was thinking that its only a one match game and choosed bell instead of sehwag, but now as we all know this fantasy game is of 3 matches i think sehwag will make all the difference for me.

 

[FreddieFan]

Collingwood was good for me, as he's my bonus player. Missed out on the new Indian quickie who got 4 but I have Pathan, so not a bad match for me so far.

 

[surendar]

I think India should find easy to win this test becos of two reasons:
1) Temperature is very hot...So there is big chance of England fielders to struggle if India play for long time!!!!

2) If India bats for till end of third day, Spinners are expected to get some turn in this pitch on 4th and 5th day...
