[WestIndian]

Good going Zexy, thanks for creating

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Thanks for creating Zahid.
Any idea about Pakistan playing 11???

 

[ZexyZahid]

First innings of Sri Lanka is over. I am missing Iftikhar Anjum from the performers.

 

[Akash00]

I am missing both of the first innings performers. Younis Khan will get a hundred.:happy

 

[ZexyZahid]

I actually dropped Butt for Manzoor after looking what his current form was. Looking back, it was better to include them both, since they have now a century partnership.

Update after the 1st ODI: Cricinfo - 1st ODI: Pakistan v Sri Lanka at Karachi, Jan 20, 2009

Butt seemed to be a better option then Manzoor. I had him as bonus player as well. The difference between Manzoor and bonused Butt is 67 points (150-83). He took two catches also.

[aussie1st]

Didn't even know who Manzoor was, should have looked at cricinfo but I made my team a few days ago. If I stuck with my usual captain of Butt I could have got somewhere.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Last time I checked, Manzoor was the current domestic top scorer. That's why I changed Butt into Manzoor. And he already scored fifties against Zimbabwe and West Indies.

 

[McLOVIN]

wow! i was about come in here and be all upset!! because i dropped Butt of Sanath!

 

[ZexyZahid]

You saved yourself by including Iftikhar Anjum in your team. And by taking Gul as your captain.

 

[Akash00]

Younis Khan should score some fifty in this match to help me climb the list.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Manzoor did nothing for me today, while Butt is already on 37 runs today.

 

[Akash00]

Younis Khan has always scored well, so I picked him as my captain. But he ruined it for me, just scoring 4 runs.:crying

 

[aussie1st]

Very good game for me. Dilshan got runs and quite a few don't have him. Captain finally did something and Butt continues.
