South Africa vs New Zealand 2006 Final Test

[Octavius]

Ntini is my captain. But i chose dipenaar over Smith, finally gave up on Smith just when he comes right.

I also have Styrus, he looked like he was coming into some form.
I think he will be ok in the second innings now that the pitch is settling down. How bout the blackcaps bad luck in losing tosses, each wicket has owned them, even the last match the wicket got better for batting.

Thats not to take away from SA's much superior bowling attack, which i think is rivalling the australians' at the moment, Steyn is a huge find, he'll keep Nel out for a while.

well good luck guys

i thought i might be near the top, but someone has all my good players PLUS Smith, so good on him.

Me toooooo........ Apart from this, I have Mccullum as my keeper...i thin he got big "0" :crying ..... Also at first i put Ntini as my captain and at last min i changed to Franklin.........

Franklin is not a bad choice so far as he already made 19 runs and took 1 wkt, its just day one. But if SA takes huge lead and they do not bat again then there is a problem as Ntini is surely going to bowl again.

Once again after a day the match turned upside down. Franklin took three wickets and Martin five wickets. Someone has Martin?

And Boucher got a duck too, so there is some competition going on with the wicketkeepers. :

Oh no, I had a strange thought of taking Martin in my team, but I didn't! The chances look bleak for me because of having Kallis as captain, but as everyone knows, anything can happen.

So far it's equal now. Unless Boucher is planning to get another duck.

And the match turned again. Now towards South Africa. And I also saw today on the scorecard Vettori didn't bowl.

If I am right, you're that simulation guy. And feel free to join in Fantasy Games.

Anyone with Steyn has it in the bag, I wish I had kept him now

 

[ZexyZahid]

On the scorecard I see Pollock was really firing with the bat. Too bad the lower order couldn't assist him. He grabbed two wickets and made 32 runs. Not bad. But I need more of him.

And Steyn is someone to have now in your team.

 

[aussie1st]

And obviously Martin is another. Astle with his 40 runs could come in handy. I can't see myself winning this one now.

 

[Iron-Haggis]

I picked Ntini, Steyn, Martin and Franklin as my bowlers, Kallis as my allrounder. So far they have taken 21 wickets between them. I also picked Graeme Smith, just thought he had to get past 50 sometime soon.

 

[ZexyZahid]

You picked the right players. I wouldn't understand why you couldn't be in the top 3.
