[ZexyZahid]

I don't understand why there are three wicketkeepers. I've excluded Jonny Bairstow as wicketkeeper. He is also not listed by Cricinfo to keep wickets.

I've included Jos Buttler as batsman (next to him being a wicketkeeper), since in his last T20I he was supposed to bat: Only T20I: India v England at Kolkata, Oct 29, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Sedition]

Alastair Cook has been added to the England squad. I also added Shoaib Malik just before the ODIs if anyone missed that.

 

[ZexyZahid]

There is a lot of injuries and sick people going around, so once again I don't know which players will play.

 

[Sedition]

England are being cagey about the injuries too.. smarmy bastards

"Broad admitted that England had injuries and then refused to say what injuries they were, encouraging more Cook Fever."

Down to the final 4 hours before registrations close, would love to see 20+ taking part in this one, and if we can get that, I'll support India for a day when they play Australia

 

[lancashire666]

Im really unsure about my team after reading the interview with Broad. Who is going to play goddammit.

Its almost like Broad isn't interested in the Planetcricket fantasy games!

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've added a surprise player. Cook better not be playing, since in Cricinfo preview he was mentioned as an injury cover.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've finally dropped Gul and now he gets three wickets.

Bopara was supposed to be injured and I thought Bresnan would play.

 

[Sedition]

Apart from last series, Gul does well when I don't pick him. Didn't think Bopara would play either, had him in my side originally. Glad I didn't pick Swann, had the game of his life, even with dropping catches, misfields and almost messing up a runout.. no doubt luck will run out for him the next 2 games..

[lancashire666]

Gah I picked Samit Patel! major negative points. Was unsure about Ravi because of his injury worries so I took him out of my team

 

[Ahmad Shah]

Should have picked Gul instead of Cook,can't understand what was I thinking at the time of picking him while I knew that Cook doesn't play t20s.

[lancashire666]

Glad I made KP my captain, wish I didn't put Buttler in as a bonus player now through

 

[ZexyZahid]

Congratulations to the top 3.

I chose the wrong captain and next to that I didn't have Gul in my team.

It was a pretty exciting finish of the match though.
