[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

We played well in the first innings with both bat and bowl.. But second innings batting was bad which lost us the match but if we play like this, I am sure of few other wins this round

 

[mohit_dude10]

So After Round 2, there is change in the standings. India and Sri Lanka make their way into Top 4 while Australia and West Indies move down.

Teams Matches Won (Home) Won (Away) Lost (Home) Lost (Away) Draw/Tie Points
South Africa 2 0 2 0 0 0 10
England 2 1 0 0 0 1 4
India 2 0 1 1 0 0 3
Sri Lanka 2 0 1 0 1 0 2
Australia 2 1 0 1 0 0 1
West Indies 2 1 0 1 0 0 1
New Zealand 2 0 0 0 1 1 0
Pakistan 2 0 0 1 1 0 -3

Round 3 Line ups can be posted. All managers are yet to complete their player dues (before 7th round).

 

[Haarithan]

Unchanged as I already mentioned . Can't afford to alter a winning side against RSA especially having to play away from home !

 

[Near]

Changes:

Riaz out Sami in
Fawad out Azhar in

And how come Malinga is still playing didn't he retire yesterday?

 

[mohit_dude10]

And how come Malinga is still playing didn't he retire yesterday?

He is eligible till 7th round as he wasn't retired from test cricket when the league started.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Just 3 points away from the top 2 position. I would keep the same side

 

[Dipak]

Same side for me to. Last chance for Nicol

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yay, nice to get a win. Same team.

 

[Iridium]

Wow we are on a roll, 6 points clear of second place.

South Africa v England at Centurion

Alviro Petersen
Graeme Smith *
Hashim Amla
Jacques Kallis
AB de Villiers
JP Duminy
Mark Boucher †
Paul Harris
Dale Steyn (1)
Morne Morkel
Lonwabo Tsotsobe (2)

Pretty sure that McLaren is the only player left to have a game.

 

[Prats]

Unchanged.

 

[Varun]

Unchanged.

 

[simsanta123]

Great league . Really enjoy reading the matches.

BTW, there is a slight error in the SF2 venue. It should state Team 2.
