Australia vs South Africa ODI Series

[Sureshot]

Symonds and Hussey both in my team, them missing this won't be a problem.

 

[ZexyZahid]

u havent created ur team yet, do it man just do it, only 15 min left for deadline.

Normally the deadline is set, when the match starts: http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/NEW/LIVE/frames/AUS_RSA_TWENTY-20-I_24FEB2006.html

It starts at 16.00 GMT

I just made my team and then got an error, that my bonus player wasn't in my team. I clicked back and everything was gone.

Luckily I made it again and this time everything went right. But it was close. Only minute was left!

rain at first game and in 20-20, match is delayed for some time.

 

[ZexyZahid]

From the line-up I see all my players are playing except for Hussey and Symonds. I included them, since I thought most people would include them. So no loss for me.

And I wanted to choose one South African batsman, but I didn't know who was in form, so I went ahead to choose some Australian batsman instead, since I was in time pressure. From what I see now is that Dippenaar was the batsman in form in the VB Series. But he isn't in the Twenty20 match team.

I started making my team when there were 8 minutes left.

I finished it & then looked at the time reamaining, and it was 4 minutes.

I have never created my team so late, and I have Gilly as captain because I will get double points for catches too!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Well, you get 5 points for a wicketkeeper catch and 10 points for a normal fielder.

 

[aussie1st]

This might be over for me already. Lots of people have similar teams so its going to come down to the players people don't have. Only Watson seems to be one that not many have. Not many have Boeta Dippenaar either.

Anyway standings after 20/20

[ZexyZahid]

I see some some things missing. You didn't give Pollock (2 runs) and van der Wath (14 runs) scores for their batting. Michael Clarke and Stuart Clark both took a catch.

And Robin Peterson has 29 runs against him. Not 49 runs. He is not that crappy.

 

[aussie1st]

Thanks for that Zexy I have updated the list in my previous post.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Thanks for Hall that he brought me to where I am. I hope next time Ponting plays a longer innings. Some people don't have Katich, Hussey and Ntini. So these guys could make a difference.

 

[aussie1st]

Ntini made a difference today, giving you a negative Looks like my curse has struck again, drop Hall and he performs. I also noticed in past SA series that if you have Hall you usually are well on your way to winning this comp. I always noticed Siddharth having him and he was always near the top in the SA series. But from what I saw in the VB series he had no answer to the Aussie batters and he doesn't seem to be batting high so I dropped him.

 

[Brett_Lee]

Is there like a prize for this fantasy cricket series?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Siddharth missed somehow the registration for this game. I am hoping that Ntini will bowl like in the Test series against Australia.

And there can't be real prizes won here. You can only win vCash money, which you can spend on vBookie for bets.

 

[Abhas]

is hussey available in 1st ODI?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Hussey will play. But bad thing is that Symonds won't play again. It was a gamble when I saw that he won't play the Twenty20 match. Now it worked out badly.
