India vs Sri Lanka - Second test

[ZexyZahid]

You've a pretty good team, Akira. And Maharoof doesn't play either.

 

[akira2291]

i forget, maharoof doenst play. but maybe i have this time luck.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I saw only 40 people signed for this game. So maybe it can work out good for you.

 

[akira2291]

thats an other good point. lets see how many wickets kumble can get tomorrow
you have also a chance, if java can score something before the tailender get out.

i checked the 40 people. 60 % or so have dravid as captain. 9 people have pathan as captain and only one murali and 2 other have kumble as captain. octavius and saurabh.
i think octavius can win this one, his team selection is best at this moment, only the bonus player are my advantage. saurabh has also kumble as captain. we will see.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I thought Jayawardene was out already. A bit of hope for me. Now I hope he at least makes a fifty. But even if he makes it that won't be enough for me. I need more then a century of him.

 

[akira2291]

java is good as pathan or murali. only a couple of points in difference.
but the 3 with kumble as captain will be for sure on top.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Good that Jayawardene made that much runs. I've got Kumble and Muralitharan as bonus, but I think I will fall short.

 

[akira2291]

yes i think, too. i think veryone has murali and kumble. its this time the the matter of the bonus players.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Just saw Aussie1st doesn't even have Atapattu in his team. I think he will be around the middle order.

Congrats to Octavius for winning this comp.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I was pretty close. Sixth position. If only Dilshan hadn't made a duck. Naming Atapattu and Tendulkar as bonus players would have helped me.

Congratulations to the top 3.

 

[akira2291]

that was close. only with 9 players on 3rd. great. thx zexyzahid

 

[ZexyZahid]

1600 cash for one match. That's a lot of money. I hope I will have some better luck with the Pakistan vs England ODI Series.

And I see you already register for the Australia vs South Africa Test match. I hope you don't have Kallis. :

 

[akira2291]

yeah thats right. i lost all my money because SA vs IND was a draw. ich selected both teams as winners and couldnt lose, but then a match was abbonded. unlucky this time. lost around 900 but why not kallis this time?

 

[ZexyZahid]

It helps if you just read the latest headlines on cricinfo.com or in the cricket chat threads in this forum. Kallis is expected to miss out. Also McGrath was a possibility to miss out, but I think he will play.
