Malinga is not expected to play in the 1st ODI. I am thinking of including him. If he doesn't play in the 2nd ODI I'll change him.

Hastings isn't playing, so it's good that I am in time to drop him. I included Randiv in my team. And he better not get dropped next match.

Also I wanted to include Ponting in my team, but I couldn't. David Hussey is batting too low and he is also not bowling nowadays.

All my bonus players are Sri Lankan players.

Good to see I am in the top. The bad news is that my lead isn't that great.

Ponting is ruining everything for me.

I now see Tharanga is nearing his century also in the 3rd ODI. Somebody got him in his team?

I dont thing anyone will have Tharanga in his team what with him making a comeback after that ban....
Everyone here would have been circumspect about his form

With 5 minutes to go for the toss in the first ODI, I replaced Ponting in place of D.Hussey and so far its a good decision

And there....Bollinger's '4 for' will help me for sure...

******

A similiar thing happens in this match as well as to what happened to Shakib in his match v/s Zimbabwe...Watson after being expensive claims 2 wkts in his last over which will be quite a relief to some members here who have him in their team...like me....

So that Randiv catch pushed me up by a place.

Frankly speaking, I could have been further up. Initially I had Malinga in my team. But after the toss in the first ODI, I thought he wont be playing in the OD's and since editing teams wasnt closed at that point of time, I quickly replaced him with Randiv. Now I wish the deadline had closed before I made the quick replacement.

 

[jacobfelix]

Some spinner called Seekkuge Prasanna has been drafted into the squad & Herath, Chandimal, Perrera axed.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I don't have any of these players in my team.

I remember that Prasanna guy. He took 6 wickets with Sri Lanka A recently.

I came into the second place because of Lee's four wickets.

I didn't expect that both the Hussey brothers would get a duck. It's mainly because of Prasanna and I had a feeling when I read he was selected for Sri Lanka. Bad thing is that I've got Mike Hussey and the current number one doesn't have him in his team. But he got Ponting and he got a duck as well.
