Cricinfo - ICC World Twenty20 2009

 

[McLOVIN]

haha! really! kool! :banana2

 

[Akash00]

I checked Cricinfo and there are 16 warm-up games and the deadline should be on 26th of May at 12:30 GMT, maybe.(They haven't mentioned the time but Wormsley is closer to Canterbury, so the time would be same i.e, 12:30 GMT)

And also Bangladesh is playing 5 matches, New Zealand 4 matches and Scotland 3.

 

[superstars]

Have updated the number of matches and the cutoff date

 

[ZexyZahid]

It seems cricinfo has updated the fixtures: Cricinfo - ICC World Twenty20 Warm-up Matches, 2009 - Fixtures

In the month May only these matches would happen:

Ireland v New Zealand
Bangladesh v Netherlands

But now I see two matches have been added. Also Pakistan and Bangladesh's earlier warm-up matches at home are mentioned.

In short, there are now two more warm-up matches:
Tuesday 26 May 2009 Bangladesh v New Zealand
Friday 29 May 2009 Bangladesh v Scotland

It seems to a bit unfair now, because some countries are playing more matches then the other. But I'll let it stay, because I've already made the thread and now that you know this, you can adjust your teams.

ZexyZahid added 2 Minutes and 59 Seconds later...

The deadline is at 13:00 GMT, but I've set it to 12:30 GMT.

 

[superstars]

I feel it would be good if we start this series from Jun 1...in total there would be 12 matches and all teams play 2 matches each...others can give their opinion

 

[ZexyZahid]

Yeah, like I said from one point it seems unfair. But from another point, people may include more players from lesser known countries in their team. Both points have their advantages.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Aussie1st, Akash and MacLovin went to the same smart thing of what I did. We all share the same captain.

 

[McLOVIN]

when is the 1st match?? NZ vs BD?

MacLovin added 4 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

Guptil 57 and i dropped him, i was gona keep Ross or him, kept Ross and dropped >.<

 

[ZexyZahid]

The scorecard will eventually come here: Cricinfo - Bangladesh v New Zealand at Wormsley, May 26, 2009

The scorecard isn't available yet, but it seems Guptill scored a fifty. Didn't expect that. Shakib Al Hasan scored 35 runs.

 

[McLOVIN]

and Shakib got a wicket too ^ now i feel stupid for dropping Guptill

MacLovin added 4 Minutes and 49 Seconds later...

btw i see you took Razzak. took him too, but i had Naeem Islam before. but dropped him for Razzak. but Naeem did better today.

just so you know, Razzak had a action problem with ICC, so he had to change it. he might not be that effective any more. he took 18 wickets in 9 matches before that

MacLovin added 11 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

and what! you picked Shakib as the captain too!!! i was hopin i was the ONLY one!
and you have Mahmudullah, who scored 47 today!

 

[ZexyZahid]

In the 8th post I already mentioned the people who have Shakib Al Hasan as captain. Four people have him as captain and Superstars has him as bonus player. The rest of the people don't have him in their teams. I myself excluded Naeem Islam for Malinga. I included Malinga just in case that not every Bangladesh player in my team would play every match.

Aussie1st have Guptill in his team.

And I still don't see a scorecard of this match.

 

[McLOVIN]

yeah you picked lot of Bangladeshi players, as they will play the most games, i wanted to do that too, but couldnt trust in some of them. and for some of them its the 1st tour to UK, so its gona be tough for them

 

[ZexyZahid]

I see a lot of people have picked Ross Taylor. From following the IPL I could understand that he would miss the first two matches of New Zealand. One was today and one is tomorrow. That's why I didn't pick him.

And cricinfo still hasn't got the scorecard. And it seems Brendon McCullum didn't even play in this match. I actually expected him to play. Not sure if Vettori played or not.

 

[Akash00]

Only me, MacLovin, Aussie1st and ZZ are having a majority of Bangladesh players and Shakib as captain. But to let you all know, I have players from Netherlands and Scotland too. So, I hope they perform well.
