Australia vs South Africa 2nd Test 2008

[Akash00]

I haven't got Hussey, Symonds and Lee in my team but still having Ab de villiers as captain is costing me!:crying

 

[aussie1st]

I don't have them either problem is I don't have JP or Ponting either! Anyone that put Steyn as captain has this in the bag, else Abhas with Punter as captain has it.

 

[Abhas]

Just had a look at a few teams, Nobody has Ponting or Steyn as their captain, so unless Graeme Smith decides to knock off all the runs by himself, I have a great chance to be in the top 3

 

[ZexyZahid]

Big problem is that you don't have Kallis. He gained 126 points so far in the match. Hopefully McKenzie and Amla will get out soon (without Amla getting a duck), so Smith and Kallis will score the remaining score. Or Kallis and de Villiers. Not having Steyn as a bonus player proved to be a big miss.

guys already counting points before the match has ended.
Where is Mac not hearing nothing from him at all!!!

Where is Mac not hearing nothing from him at all!!!

Go and look at the 2nd page of this thread, I think it's all over for him.

Smith, Amla and McKenzie knocked off al the remaining runs, that was needed for South Africa to win. That's really bad, because Kallis didn't even get a chance to bat.

 

[Abhas]

Kallis did not get to bat, I'm happy about that. McKenzie getting runs shouldn't be an issue, because his 1st innings failure will neutralize it.

It would have been a bit better had Smith got out just after his fifty, since that would have given me the bonus points, and less comparative advantage to the others who have him as captain.

Overall I'm happy how things turned out, and expect to be in the top 3

Phew!! Congrats to King Cricket and Tarzan. What is interesting is, The top 3 have different captains. This proves that the bonus players held a huge key, and the overall team composition as well.

Brett Lee almost spoilt it for me, but eventually I got my fav 2nd spot

 

[aussie1st]

Congrats to the top 3 and welcome to the club WC if you aren't in it already

Oh yes thanks for the reminder, forgot all about WC, first from the bottom, , nice one mate!!!

 

[Dare]

7th and I didn't even have Ponting in my team.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Congratulations to the top 3.

And I didn't know I was that close. If I had made only Steyn my bonus player I would have been in the top 3.

And World Champions has been on the last position a couple of times already.
