[smssia0112]

I'll be Mcgrath, but what do we do?

 

[Wildwil]

Nothing just wait and see how your player performs in the match.

 

[MWaugh]

so around 30 posts have been wasted for people to say that they will be a player and then they just see how they do? im struggling to find the point to it. whats the point in saying that your going to be a certain player?

 

[Wildwil]

Cause you can be man of the match and get reps. It's worked before.

 

[zainawan89]

hey Dravid should be in.

 

[Wildwil]

As we said before. The squad will change every ODI. Dravid will be in the next one

 

[The Spin]

If somebody doesnt perform then Dravid will be in for sure

Nice stuff on post 1 Usy!

 

[usy]

Thanks The Spin, atleast someone looks at the first post, Thank God.

Well we will remove the thing of users being players. So wait for the first match to get underway today sometime, keep tuned to your Fav thread.

England Crumble!

1st ODI
Leeds

26 over update

England 64-7

Pietersen 21*
Strauss 12

Flintoff 3-10

A great first quarter of the game for the Legends XI. Lee and Ntini had great spells up front and really put the pressure on England. Capturing 3 early wickets. Gibbs took a amazing catch to get rid of Vaughan

First change McGrath was expensive up front and got a pit of a smacking. He recovered well and got rid of Robert Key.

At the other end Flintoff strangled England capturing 3 wickets and is very economical. He got rid of Collingwood, Geraint Jones and Giles.

Lee got rid of Trescothick and Vaughan. Ntini got rid of Strauss.

Muralitharan was really expensive in his first over, being smashed by Kevin Pietersen for 2 fours. He recovered a bit and is looking alright now.

The scorecard looks as follow.

The bowling figures:

The match stands like this at the moment and is in Legends XI?s favour

Stay tuned for more sizziling action from Leeds!
