West Indies v South Africa: 1st Test - 2010

[WestIndian]

After West Indies horrible and demeaning T20 and ODI Series against South Africa, the scene now changes to Test, whether West Indies focus and thinking changes with the format remains to be seen, already there are telling signs against the West Indies, with Adrian Barath, Sarwan and Taylor lost to injuries, this could also lead to a lost in the Test match!!!

The first Test will be played at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. There are showers predicted for the 5 days and that too could affect the out come. The last Test played at the Queen's Park Oval in 2009 ended in a draw!!

Registration for this event will remain open until June 10, 2010, 14:00 GMT, and can be done here!

Thanks for creating Rabs. Well... this will be completely different from the ODI series that just got over.

Need to make some wise picks to end at the top. I am sure everyone will be picking Amla.

 

[ZexyZahid]

What will happen with Chanderpaul? Will he get injured at the start of the day, then after two days he suddenly returns from injury and screws the Fantasy Cricket players?

Of South Africa I am sure that Lonwabo Tsotsobe won't play. Don't know about the rest of the players.

 

[Dare]

Of South Africa I am sure that Lonwabo Tsotsobe won't play. Don't know about the rest of the players.

He might actually. Parnell hasn't fully recovered so its between Lopsy and McLaren.

 

[AkshayS]

I'm sure that 90% of the members will have Amla/Kallis/Smith as captain.

 

[ZexyZahid]

First time I took Amla as captain and he is out for two runs! I should have sticked to my earlier captain Kallis.

ZexyZahid added 7 Minutes and 17 Seconds later...

15 people have Hashim Amla as captain (including me). 1 guy have Jacques Kallis as captain (Abhas). 3 people have AB de Villiers as captain. Two people have Johan Botha and Ryan McLaren as captain. They're already out of contention, because Botha and McLaren aren't playing. Unless their other players will perform.

I had known this before, I would have stuck on Kallis.

ZexyZahid added 6 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...

Some people have Botha, McLaren, Warnell and Kemar Roach in their teams. They are all not playing. Even Dare and WestIndian have Kemar Roach in their teams.

 

[Dare]

Trusted cricinfo and thought that Roach might be fit and its costing me now.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I made Hamla captain, since cricinfo was mentioning his statistics in recent months. I actually had Kallis as my earlier captain.

Also I had Roach in my team till I read yesterday, that he was injured.

 

[Dare]

I made Hamla captain, since cricinfo was mentioning his statistics in recent months. I actually had Kallis as my earlier captain.

I did the exact same thing.

 

[Chewie]

I have no idea who I have as captain :S

 

[ZexyZahid]

You've got AB de Villiers as captain.

You've got also Kemar Roach in your team.

 

[Chewie]

Yea... I don't tend to check if players are injured. Oops.

At least I didn't have Amla as captain

 

[ZexyZahid]

Luckily Kallis didn't score that much. AB de Villiers just scored his fifty and needs to get out soon, because some people have him as captain. Prince has also 47 runs and I don't have him.

 

[WestIndian]

Man none of the guys that should have shined, shined Amla, Smith, Kallis, I do not have Prince, then again maybe not much persons got him, and Mr. Big Benn, what a time to not pick him and then he takes 5....

 

[ZexyZahid]

I don't have Benn either in my team. It looks like it's a spinning pitch. Luckily I've got Harris in my team. Also I've got Boucher in my team. Some have chosen Ramdin as wicketkeeper.

I am expecting a fifty from Chanderpaul.
