[ZexyZahid]

This was a tough selection. I don't even know whether some of the players will play in my team. I also want to include a different player, but I am not even sure whether he will get a chance to play.

Colin Ingram will play only in the T20I.

Today series is starting. Any news about Lee's replacement & Johnson's ankle injury...

 

[CremerCurrans]

Johnson is fine, he's been bowling in the Sheffield shield match. Mitchell Marsh is the replacement, he's remaining in the squad for the ODI's.

Mitchell Marsh is the replacement,

For a second, I was wondering what Michelle Marsh was doing in the Australian team then realised....Mitchell.....Michelle.....Ow....

I feel I made some mistakes. A day before the match I changed Duminy in another allrounder, since I thought he would get a chance to bat that high. Just before the deadline I saw Cricinfo mentioning 'that Steyn and Kallis wouldn't be available for this series'. I didn't understand that and I checked out what it was and it turned to be two T20I's and three ODI's. I thought there would be only one T20I. Off course I would have a different team then now. I've got 7 non-playing players at the moment.

Only good thing was that I quickly changed my captain into Watson. Otherwhile I would have been at the bottom right now.

The ducks of Smith and Warner were pretty funny though, since I expected some people to have them in their teams.

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is no good news for me: Watson isn't playing.

Most of us have gone in with OD players keeping in mind the one-dayers coming up. So these two T20 matches will be of no help to me, especially this match....lots of (T20) players playing today are not in my team....

So, thats why Chewie did a great job by dividing the NZ vs Zmb series into 2 games - separate for T20 & OD's

Hats off to Chewie He Rocks

You typed the above in the wrong thread.

But I just followed the end of the 2nd T20I: SA 148/7 (19.1 ov, J Theron 30*, WD Parnell 29*, DJ Hussey 1/20) - Match over | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

What a match. Good thing for me is that Warner (again) and Duminy got a duck. I had only Amla and Bollinger playing in this match and got nine (1) non-playing players. It better be go upwards in the upcoming ODI series.
