The match has been abandoned a day before the start of the match.

Twenty20 called off a day early
http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/engvrsa/content/current/story/365518.html

It's a good thing they said it earlier. The deadline is now on 22 August 2008 on 13:30 GMT. The series will now consist five ODI matches.

 

[SciD]

I have packed side with Poms. But Saffers will win.

Apart from joke cut off time shuld be 13:00(1 PM) GMT which is now 1:00(1 AM) GMT.

 

[WestIndian]

When Collingwood's ban is over, who goes out for him to come into the 11??

 

[vaibhav mehta]

He has only one match ban left.So I think He can play from 2nd ODI.

We had a problem vaiby.
When I created the game,I had the T20 in mind too,but since it got cancelled,a FC Staff edited the game,I believe thats where we messed up a bit.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I remember I edited the time as well, so there is nothing wrong with that. But but recently we are having problems with a changing deadline. It's good that people are mentioning it if they see a sudden change in the deadline.

And so far it's going good for me. I actually had Albie Morkel as captain, but I changed him, when I saw he had an injury. I also had Ntini in my team, but cricinfo predicted that he didn't play. But now he is playing. I also changed Collingwood in de Villiers, when I read he was having a ban. But I thought he had four more matches to go.

I've got the top four South African batting line up, so I am hoping that they won't fail me.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

I had Albie as Captain oh no I still have Albie as Captain.
Everything else is fine for me.I have missed Collingwood and I know that He will make some troubles in remaining matches for me.

 

[WestIndian]

Why did I keep Morne even after I read he had a side strain is beyond me, so am playing 10 men, and my team is SA heavy and 2 of them gone already.

Hmmm didn't know Pietersen was going to do the bowling, I would have picked him as captain if I knew that. Lucky for my Flintoff matched him.

 

[ZexyZahid]

You got lucky that Flintoff got two cheap wickets in the end, otherwhile somebody else would be on top. And I didn't expect Prior to open. I don't understand why Anderson bowled only three overs.
