The Cricket Thread Part Deux

God I don't know if I can be bothered making another fantasy team for yet another T20 event. -.-

Also did I predict me losing the Smogon IPL fantasy league?
 
Holy shiz Sehwag Injured AGAIN <_<

If he had an injury he shouldn't have played the rest of DD's matches. I gues M Vijay is a good replacement. I'd also prefer Uthappa over Rohit Sharma any day.

All the halps are confusing me. Who is halp but not McGrey?

Both Halp and Scribbles are me. I have already planned my transfers and the second account is just a different permutation. Also, it is there to hopefully drag our league average up!

Hip: Umar Gul is out, not Umar Akmal.
 
Agreed. But after Tiwary got out he should have been sent it instead of Duminy. Had he managed to get a few boundaries off the spinner Dhoni might have even brought the quickies an over earlier. Then the situation would have been 40-45 of 18. That would have been a realistic chance. 55 of 18 is too much even for pollard. As for the 16 overs of pace I agree on that too. But it would have been nice if those 2 catches weren't dropped <_<
 
Also it was dumb sending Harbhajan at 4. Duminy should've been sent at 8 rather than Pollard. Bravo should've been there instead of Duminy tbh. Hats off to Sachin for scoring 48 with a split webbing. Really nothing can stop him.
 
Any reason why Ryan Harris was picked over Bollinger as Lee's replacement?

I also hope MS uses Pathan higher up the order because that's where he has been successful. Pathan at 7 is useless.
 
Probably because Harris has performed better in lmited overs for Australia of late. Although from IPL form Bollinger should've got the nod. Australia losing to Zimbabwe =/.
 
The only reason I can think of is that they wanted a right hand bowler for variation. But I'd still pick Bollinger over Harris. And lol yea Michael Clarke needs to do something about his batting. Way too slow in this format.

Either way, I don't think another fast bowler is what Australia need. The wickets seem very slow on evidence from the warm up matches.

Predictions aside from minnow matches:

New Zealand v Sri Lanka
India v South Africa
Australia v Pakistan
West Indies v England
New Zealand v Zimbabwe

You saw it here first, I think Zimbabwe could cause an upset.
 
My predictions

New Zealand v Sri Lanka
India v South Africa
Australia v Pakistan
West Indies v England

And I think 2 spinners (Hauritz and Smith) is enough in the Australian team and Hussey, Clarke and White are ok Part-timers. I very much doubt we will use both Smith and Hauritz as Australia hardly ever uses 2 spinners outside the SCG.
 
Like Chaser said Australia usually don't give spinners priority.

New Zealand v Sri Lanka
India v South Africa
Australia v Pakistan
West Indies v England

My predictions.
 
I hope the rest of the tournament lives up to the opening match.

Nathan McCullum just robbed Flame_Blade of 50 points with those winning runs.

Sadly I wasn't able to watch it D:

oh and Gayle just cost you a transfer ;P

btw whats with the 2 different teams again?
 
Wow NZ dropped Kyle Mills so that Gareth Hopkins could bat at number 8.

Retarded.

McGraws prediction tally: 0/1

Also I am pissed I already forgot to update my fantasy team.. When I realised Jayawardene was opening I was going to swap Dilshan for him.. Oh well..

Have a nice day.
