Champions Trophy 2006 Group A

[saurabh2185]

NO WI players in my team as i didn't got time to edit my team :crying. Sachin Tendulkar (captain) and Jamie Dalrymple has done well for my team but Dravid, Flintoff, Mahmood and Harbhajan where disappointing. Now let see what my aussie players will do (Gilchrist,Watson,Ponting +,Lee) :cool:

 

[ZexyZahid]

I actually only included Gayle into my team. Nothing more. And I've got six Australian players in my team, but I took the risk of not including McGrath into my team. He bowls economical, but didn't get wickets lately.

Apart from these four players you mentioned, I've got also Hussey and Symonds.

 

[Sureshot]

My team is split amongst the 4 teams.

3 Indians (Sachin, Dhoni and Bhaji)
2 W Indians (Gayle and Lara)
3 Aussies (Ponting, Hussey and McGrath)
3 Englishmen (Kp, JD and Jimmy)

 

[Octavius]

my team is;

Aussies(6): Hussey, Clarke, Watson, Lee, Symonds, Gilchrist
English(2): Collingwood, Dalrymple
West Indian(1): Gayle (capt)
Indian(2): Tendulkar, Sehwag

good luck everyone

i should have kept lara and dropped hussey who now bats 7-8 for aussie (he should be 5)

and watson is hit or miss as opener

 

[aussie1st]

Hard to say on Watson, hes only been opening a few games and until now he hasn't failed as an opener. Let's see how he goes in the next 2 games.

Why Watson is opening when the aussies have a gem in Hussey who i think is a genuine opener. :

 

[irottev]

Hussey is an interesting one.

Moving Hussey up would defiantly be a good move from Australia but then again, it is hard to move someone who does so well down the order. Then Watson could go down. I don't think Watson is an opener. You never know. Hussey might do better or do worse.

Maybe the Aussies should drop Martyn and bring in Jaques or someone. Then move Watson to four. Watson probably deserves a few more goes I guess.

As much as I like Martyn, I can't help but feel he isn't played well enough at the moment.

 

[Octavius]

the aussie team i would send out if i were selector/coach:

Hayden
Gilchrist
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Symonds
Watson
Lee
Hogg
Bracken
McGrath

i still think Hayden is a damn good opener..i dont think Katich is good enough at this level and i would only think about Jaques as a replacement.

I agree that batting Hussey as an opener would be tempting.

Agree with u, hayden have to open innings with gilchrist, watson is not good choice to open the innings

Note: The qualifying team is still to be added.

Oh really?

[surendar]

wow what a great position i am at the moment!!!... 61... I expected big century from Ponting...but he was dismissed cheaply

 

[ZexyZahid]

Compared to some other people my position isn't that bad. I didn't expect to be that high, since my performances depend on Australia's success.

 

[viral1991]

Yes, even below me! Now, thats what I call impressive!

 

[Hariz]

Wow, I made a huge leap from 43 to 5 and that is all because of Taylor and Gilchrist. Keep going boys
