Some of the New Zealanders I don't even know and then again I don't know which players of Sri Lanka will play. So difficult choices to make.

 

[irottev]

I suggest yoiu look at their cricinfo profiles and or read my descriptions in the SL v NZ thread.

It really does make it diccicult, you wonder whether Murili, Vaas and stuff will be rested.

 

[aussie1st]

Grab yourself a Patel, Adams and Taylor they are 3 I'll definitely have.

 

[saurabh2185]

What a start aussie1st, only half way through the 1st game your captain has already done very well .

This time i left out Stephen Fleming and he does well

 

[aussie1st]

5 overs into their inns hes also made a 50
But a number of people have him including Zexy who has a similar team to mine. Franklin did more than Upul so he will be slightly ahead there but Murali grabbed 2 so that puts me back in front compared to Vass.

After the first rain interupted Twenty/20.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I didn't expect Muralitharan to play the Twenty20 match, otherwhile I would have included him. I've got the right captain, but three of my players didn't play.

 

[aussie1st]

Well seems like a fair few have the right captain so it's down to the right team.

I was pretty close. Astle ruined it for me.

Congratulations to Hardikvasha, Irottev and Gamerkid22.

[irottev]

I came from 25th to second

I thought I was scoring this series :/

 

[aussie1st]

Guess Zexy was too eager to see what he got
Oh why did I not pick Franklin

 

[ZexyZahid]

I already filled in the scores during the match. I only needed to put in the bowling figures of the Sri Lankan bowlers, who didn't finish their overs and the batting scores of Franklin and Astle.

And not having Astle costed me. The bad thing is that Jayasuriya didn't play. And only wicket of Malinga would have granted me at least a second spot.
