I've got no idea, who to pick now. My players in form (Ponting, Hussey, Clarke, Pietersen) failed in the 4th Test. At least I know from Australia which players will play.

What is the deadline for this match? Cricinfo is saying 23:30 GMT, but it set on 12:30 GMT. And then also on PM. So if the match starts on 12:30, it should be 12:30 AM. So far I corrected it to 12:30 AM, but I am not sure if that is really the start of the match.

Ok, I checked some other website also now: it's 23:30 GMT.

If England has had day light saving then that time is right, all I know is it was the same start time as the 4th Ashes.

 

[ZexyZahid]

The good thing about GMT in Fantasy Cricket is that you don't have to recalculate to England time (BST), which somebody has changed it. So the times from the cricinfo would be the same as to put as the deadline. Also there is no difference now between GMT and BST, so yeah there is no daylight saving.

And I missed out the start of the match. I actually intended to bet on the whitewash.

Looks like I've stuffed up my team again No Lee or McGrath, looking good for you Zexy though.

Congrats to the top 3, looks like Zexy is in that purple patch right now.

 

[IloveGilly]

Grats to top 3.

Wow I stuffed up bad by choosing Hoggard (forgot to check the line ups and latest news )

 

[barmyarmy]

I really came 30th out of 31?
Statistically I believe a monkey picking the team at random could have beaten that...

 

[ZexyZahid]

Good to see that I am in a winning mood again. I practically just put the whole Australian team in, except Clarke and put Pietersen in.

Congratulations to aravindtele and Shanewarne also.
