Champions Trophy 2006 Group B

[aussie_ben91]

I'm coming 5th last. Oh well, most of my players are in Sri Lanka. Tharanga, Jayasuriya, Sangakkara, Jaywadene, Vaas & Murali. I had to quickly change Asif out for Vaas seeing as he got sent back home though. I hope Sangakkara bats through the innings and makes a huge ton! and then Younis Khan & Yousuf make all of the runs and Murali then rips right through Pakistan's batting lineup.

Do the reserves actually do anything? I mean logic would say that if any player you pick doesn't play, then a reserve would come in, otherwise it's an utterly pointless feature.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's pointless feature. And they don't come in.

Razzaq got four wickets and I got him. Including he bowled three people and one caught behind. So a lot of points from him. Having him as captain would pay off.

And the Pakistani batsman have yet to bat. Hopefully Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf will make enough runs.

 

[y2j826]

Razzaq in my team thats positive point now, malik, jayasuriya and sangakkara too

 

[ZexyZahid]

I didn't know Razzaq would come out that good of the match. Making him captain would have been paid off. But it's difficult to guess who to make a captain from the Pakistani side, since on their day a lot of players can be a Match Winner. Too bad Yousuf didn't get his fifty.

And I don't have Farhat, Malik or Hafeez. And my replacement Afridi didn't perform.

Irottev drops 24 places

 

[aussie1st]

Big shoot up in the 2nd round but really missed Razzaq. Rest of the team was good.

 

[Afridi no 1]

im on 37th Place ..... a bit of improvement...but I think its impossible for my team to be in the top 10 this time.... :

 

[y2j826]

Was on 49th spot after last game and now at 8th spot, thats due to razzaq, yousuf, sangakkara and malik

 

[irottev]

Down 23 places. Didn't have Razzaq

But my team is packed with NZer's was a gamble. So I should expect to shoot up and shoot down.

 

[saurabh2185]

11th not bad at all as i have balance team with all my players playing. Made 3 changes just before the deadline, removed Styris, Asif & Bond with Astle, Maharoof and Ntini respectively.

I could have got +20 points if Mohammad Yousuf scores one more run .

 

[Octavius]

wish i had razzaq instead of afridi, hopefully he comes right.

 

[Octavius]

Black Caps general manager Lindsay Crocker said Bond would only be used if absolutely necessary.

"We are not in a must-win situation yet and have tended to adopt a conservative approach with his injuries in the past. It's a long season," he said.

looks like Bond wont play on Friday night either

 

[ZexyZahid]

I am now at the 16th place, but I don't think I will come higher. Razzaq is a big miss for the people who dropped.

 

[surendar]

I am in 7th...cool Razzaq n Fleming were the keyplayers for me... But forgot to change Asif at the last moment!!
