Ah wtf I got McCallum which was meant to be Nathan McCullum.

 

[ZexyZahid]

A lot of New Zealand players didn't actually play, like Oram, Ryder and Brendon McCullum. Only six players of my team played.

And the Total Bank Property suddenly raised from 1 billion to 5 billion: http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/ibank.php?do=bank What happened?

 

[McLOVIN]

yup the Shakib ones are at the top

 

[ZexyZahid]

What the hell? What is Ross Taylor already playing for New Zealand. He made 74 runs against Ireland. I was thinking he would be at least rested in the first two matches. He practically ruined everything.

To make it worse: McCullum scored only 9 runs and Guptill scored 45 runs.

Only advantage is that Ryder took 3 wickets for 4 runs and scored 19 runs. Vettori took two wickets and a catch.

Aussie1st will be on top after the update.

I expected McCullum to play all New Zealand matches, not three. In that case, I would have taken Akmal or Dhoni as wicketkeeper.

 

[aussie1st]

You still have a chance to stay top, I left Vettori behind and didn't have Ryder as a bonus.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's pretty simple. You've got Ross Taylor and I don't. Vettori himself got about 50 points. Taylor got more then that.

Tomorrow it's Bangladesh vs Netherlands and I'm expecting something from my Bangladesh players and my one Dutch player. I've got six players playing.

i couldnt find 2 irish players =S

 

[aussie1st]

Just saw Mahmudullah is bowling, he probably will push me down again after the next update.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Actually he normally bowls all the time. I picked him, because he performed during the three warm-up matches against Bangladesh A. Now I just hope he doesn't get a duck.

 

[aussie1st]

Hes batting higher than my Scottish guy usually would! But I've never heard of Mahmudullah before hence didn't think about picking him.

 

[Akash00]

I don't know why William Porterfield didn't play, he is the captain of Ireland.
