what Yousuf is being left out it seems... I selected him as the captain :

Big surprise from Pakistan leaving Mohammad Yousuf out

[Abhas]

I have Kallis as Captain!!! Excellent innings so far...
looking good for me till now... bowlers have got wickets, captain's got a century!!

I always go for Kallis as captain.. but since Yousuf has returned to PCB again, i thought he is going to start with a bang.. he already did it in other way :

 

[Abhas]

oh crap... why isnt pollok playing??
just realised he's not playing and i've selected him

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've got Kallis as my captain. Smith and Amla are my bonus players.

This news came long time back...

Pollock dropped for first Test

 

[Abhas]

ah crap... i missed that article ..

ZZ's got a great team... top 3 certainly

 

[ZexyZahid]

Not really. Check the teams. There are already some other teams with the combination of Kallis, Amla and Smith. And it seems it's a batting pitch. If I would have known that I would have included Younis Khan.

 

[siddharth2002]

And I have got De Villiers for the good measure

 

[ZexyZahid]

My weakest link so far is Ntini. I don't think he will grab much wickets. I somehow wanted to include Rehman, but I didn't know who to exclude and I wanted to have a South African bowler. Now it would have been a better choice sticking to him.

 

[ZexyZahid]

There are three people with Harris. Only one of them have Kallis of captain.

 

[ZexyZahid]

That's really bad. Amla got a duck. He practically ruined his performance in the first innings. And it seems that the top 3 will be decided by the people who have Kallis as captain.

 

[siddharth2002]

Think I have also got Harris
