I just saw the news that Vaas has been included into the squad. But now, I see you've already made the thread. I am not sure if Vaas will play. If he will, he will be in my team. Sri Lanka has nothing to lose.

 

[zub2005]

thanks for this

 

[ZexyZahid]

Now the news is that Vaas will retire from Test cricket, so I will include him in my team.

[ZexyZahid]

Somebody included a team in the dying minutes. I think it's scion_sid.

Aussiebushrange, Gazelle, jimmy_chem, pavanbharadwaj, satishmania have already got a problem since Mendis isn't playing. Aussiebushrange has him even as captain.

 

[Aussiebushrange]

LOL I never expected Mendis to be dropped. Oh well I'm doing really bad lately in Fantasy cricket.

Aussiebushrange added 1 Minutes and 6 Seconds later...

I know his out of form but I chose him because I think he can turn the game at any given time.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Gazelle and jimmy_chem have Yousuf as captain. I actually even thought of dropping him and including Mathews, because somehow I wanted to fit him in. Other option was including Mathews for Alam, but I didn't do that. Eventually Alam didn't do anything, so I rather could have included Mathews.

 

[Akash00]

Kulasekara got 2 wickets at last but I find most of them having him as captain. So, I now need some runs from Paranavitana.(No one except me and Aussiebushrange has him)

 

[ZexyZahid]

Luckily Kulasekara took eventually another 30 points wicket and that's good, so I can keep up with the people, who have Yousuf as captain. A good thing is that nobody has Thushara, who grabbed 5 wickets.

 

[ZexyZahid]

The wrong Pakistani players are performing. Malik scored a century and Akmal scored a fifty. Aussiebushrange have both of them, although he has Mendis as captain. MacLovin and scion_sid have Akmal as wicketkeeper. Pavanbharadwaj and satishmania have Malik in his team. In other words: these two guys really need to get out quickly.

When you fill in the scores, include Sangakkara's catches as wicketkeeper's catches. He took that position, since Dilshan is injured.

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is not good. Gul has scored 46 runs and is reaching his fifty.

Just as I wrote this he is out after he hit a six. Another wicket for Herath. This guy really is a third/fourth innings wickettaker.

 

[SciD]

Decent game till now for me.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Paranavitana scored 71 runs and that's a lot. Sangakkara got 50 runs, but I need him to get out soon, because someone has him as captain.

I would like to see Vaas and Kulasekara scoring runs.

 

[diaskasun]

i dont think lankans have a chance anymore!!! we lost the match when we selected the playing 11 for this match ( no murali, mendis, malinga ) thats 90% of bowling fire power

 

[diaskasun]

diaskasun added 4 Minutes and 18 Seconds later...
