[ZexyZahid]

The best Sri Lankan player in the Test series (Thilan Samaraweera) is not even included in the ODI squad. So I am not sure which of the Sri Lankan batsmen I will choose.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Dinesh Chandimal is included as batsman and Rangana Herath as allrounder.

 

[Iridium]

Herath as an allrounder? I'm not too sure about that....

 

[Addy]

What a shame, I kept Morne Morkel all long and replaced him with Botha last night, who isn't even playing

----------

I should have gone with one of either Morne or Tsotsobe.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Herath has been included as an allrounder for a long time by now.

I see Botha and Herath didn't even play for some reason.

[Aswin8]

lol...good start for me
hope it continues

 

[Sedition]

Jeez still no Perera Mendis dropped for Herath too. Should have picked less Sri Lankans since they'll be chopping and changing all series.

Just read on cricinfo:

Team news
Dilhara Fernando had a knee concern on the eve of the match. Ajantha Mendis, who had a recurrence of a back niggle, has been ruled out of the series. Sachithra Senanayake has been named Mendis' replacement, and could be available for the third ODI.

Would like Mendis replaced please


Shorter article confirming both Mendis and Dilhara Fernando if anyone has him.

[ZexyZahid]

Dilhara Fernando isn't ruled of the ODI series, but Ajantha Mendis is. So whoever got Ajantha Mendis can replace him till the start of the 3rd ODI, which starts on 17 January 2012 at 12:30 GMT.

I thought I had a good team, but now I see a lot of people have Kallis as captain.

[Sedition]

Haha fearsome tweak. They were the two I was undecided about who to make captain, so either way I was screwed.

Someone cap de Villiers

 

[Addy]

I want Kallis and Amla to be replaced with Du Plessis & Smith respectively. And Set Bonus Player 1 DUminy as Skipper.

 

[Sedition]

We're stuck with them, neither are injured Mendis however is, so I'd still like him to be replaced incase it was missed.

 

[Addy]

but they are ruled out of the squad isnt it?
