Chopping and changing captains almost every match is a pretty risky business and just like in real life, it may affect a team's performance also. I reckon you should revert to Dhoni.

Not sure who was the captain in the last match Dhoni will lead us

Hopping for best

WCF at the bottom of the table. A perfect reflection of how Australian cricket has been hit down to a low once they lost their star players.

Anyway, Sydney should win here. The other team looks awfully dependent on their bowlers.

Best bowling attack vs Best batting attack! uhh this will be a smasher.

This is just too easy for Sydney Roosters to win. They're leading here.

Only if the match was not being played on 'excellent' pitch, I would have been of the opinion that Queensland are clear favorites but that is not the case.
