[Jaztheman]

My team is terrible.

Quite a few risks taken for my team, will be interesting to see how they turn out.

 

[Leverocks]

I entered my team.Hope they go well

 

[ZexyZahid]

I didn't include Jayawardene, because of his form, but he is now already on 31 runs. I was thinking about Sangakkara, Mendis and Muralitharan as captain, but eventually I went for Mendis. Hopefully that will work out. At the moment I feel like having Sangakkara as captain.

 

[McLOVIN]

i knew this would happen! but didnt want to risk him either, now he is was past 31 ^^ he is on 52!! some one get him out! this is NOT good

 

[Akash00]

So far, my team is doing well. I have Sangakkara as captain, have Jayawardane. I want Umar Gul to take more wickets.

 

[McLOVIN]

oh and now that i think about it, i have no idea why i picked Shoaib Malik as my captain

 

[WestIndian]

This business is as unsure as the stock market, today a guy plays bad, you drop him, the next day he gets a ton. I did not select Jayawardene and he get a ton, strange these guys, so strange, and worst has Kapugedera in my team and he is not playing.:

 

[McLOVIN]

i took Samaraweera! :happy

hell with Mahela!

 

[Jaztheman]

Jayawardene is my captain and is on 136*. Samaraweera is on 130* and is in my team whilst Sangakkara scored 70 whilst he is a bonus player for me. Unfortunately I have Sohail Khan who has 0-105 at the moment...

Not bad first day, all in all.

[SciD]

jazzy has this one won

 

[ZexyZahid]

Only 1.5 days have been played, so anything can happen. I've got Samaraweera, but no Jayawardene. And Jayawardene should have been out yesterday a long time: he was dropped thrice.

I selected a bowler as my captain, but I didn't have a clue what the pitch conditions were. If I would have known that, I would select a different captain.
