Going in with a unique captain for this one, hope it works btw I reckon Dan van Bunge is a batting all-rounder.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Yeah, I saw his records. He has a batting average of around 20. Sometimes he bats at number 4 or 5, but I still labelled him as a bowling allrounder.

Any idea, who will open for England. Bopara and Key?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Adil Rashid has been added instead of Andrew Flintoff. Change your teams if you have him.

I hope Pakistan perform better then in the warm-up match against South Africa, otherwhile I might make some changes in my team.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've got some surprise players in my team.

 

[McLOVIN]

i bet you took a lot of Dutch players

 

[aussie1st]

I would advise people to avoid Afridi as I picked him
No dutch in my team, pretty even spread of Pakistan and English although not confident in any of these teams bowlers.

 

[SciD]

Ruining not picking Luke Wright now. :

KP =

 

[ZexyZahid]

I believe ten Doeschate didn't take a wicket in the warm-up matches and against England he gets two!

I've got Wright.

ZexyZahid added 6 Minutes and 15 Seconds later...

I'm just reading that Kevin Pietersen is injured. It's a waste of spot now. Now I see there is even an article about it.

[McLOVIN]

he better play the other match and make something big!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Pietersen wasn't even in my team. I chose him after he scored a fifty in the warm-up match. I actually replaced him with ten Doeschate, who now performed.

I had Schiferli in my team, but I again changed him for Gul. Hopefully that will work out.

Afridi is my captain. I hope he doesn't disappoint me now.

Pietersen wasn't even in my team. I chose him after he scored a fifty in the warm-up match. I actually replaced him with ten Doeschate, who now performed.

same here. i had Salman Butt in my team, but after the WU match seeing Butt and seeing KP, i dropped Butt and took that overrated guy

MacLovin added 20 Minutes and 58 Seconds later...

** notice Aussiebushrange, it says he got 310 on the list. but click on his nick then you will see it shows his scores adds up to 230 or 232. something like that.

what the heck!

 

[zub2005]

Went for a strong Pakistan Line up, hopefully they won't fail, KP not playing has cot me and the one Netherlands player i went for Dirk failed :-(

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmm thought I would have a bigger lead with such a good performance by my captain. Hopefully the Aussiebushrange thing fixes after the next update.
