Standings after Round 5

Teams Matches Won (Home) Won (Away) Lost (Home) Lost (Away) Draw/Tie Points
South Africa 5 1 2 0 2 0 11
England 5 2 1 0 1 1 11
India 5 2 1 1 0 1 10
Australia 5 2 1 2 0 0 7
Sri Lanka 5 0 2 1 2 0 6
Pakistan 5 0 1 1 2 1 2
West Indies 5 1 1 3 0 0 2
New Zealand 5 0 1 2 1 1 1

England are now joint leaders with South Africa, India too are not far behind at 3. Australia slipped a place after a home defeat to their neighbours and New Zealand finally move out of the negative points . While Sri Lanka are back in the mix after a sloppy start in the tournament. Pakistan and West Indies continue to be inconsistent.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

2 losses in a row. We are not able to even draw and thats bad

 

[Varun]

Harbhajan capitalized on our first innings score, and his 10 wickets put us in a real-time advantage. It was all easy in the end.

 

[Dipak]

I'll stick with the same side

 

[tarun87]

Superb Batting From Dilshan In Both Innings But Over Middle Order Not Batted Well At All
In First Innings Mendis Bowl Really Well And Then In Second Innings Mathews Bowl Well

 

[mohit_dude10]

Start posting lineups for R6. Stats are almost done and will be posted at the end of R7. Those who are yet to complete their player dues, please do so by 7th round.

 

[Haarithan]

I guess my player dues are all done and dusted , and also I'm probably playing the best England XI that beat South Africa in the previous round . So , I am going Unchanged .

 

[mohit_dude10]

Player dues:

Bhargav: Tim Paine, Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle
Varun: Pragyan Ojha
Tarun: Suraj Randiv
Iridium: Ryan Mclaren
Dipak: Chris Martin, James Franklin and Rob Nicol
Rahul: Wilden Cornwall, Carlton Baugh and Gavin Tonge

Others have completed their Player dues.

 

[Iridium]

South Africa v Sri Lanka at East London

We have to arrest the slide. Two losses in a row isn't good enough for what is arguably one of the strongest sides.

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

McLaren in, Boucher out. de Villiers will keep in Boucher's absence.

 

[Varun]

Same side. Won't change the winning combo.

 

[Bhargav]

Mitchell Johnson out,Ryan Harris in

 

[Haarithan]

Mitchell Johnson out,Ryan Harris in

Mate , you have to complete all the player dues by the end of this round . So , you need to make atleast 3 changes given you have 3 player dues .
