West Indies v Australia ODI Series 2008

[ZexyZahid]

That's a part of Fantasy Cricket. Reading some information, before you decide who to select. I actually was also thinking of including Johnson instead of Clark. In previous ODI series he performed better then Clark. But I went for form and Clark is better in form then Johnson now, because he got more wickets in the Test series then Johnson.

Ronchi was already expected to play instead of Haddin.

I agree with you Zexy...I guess thats why it is called FC, but I still believe that changes should be allowed before each match. My view.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I wished this match could be recorded as well. The majority of the players I have performed. Ponting, Lee and Haddin didn't play though. And I am hoping that Australia will play with four bowlers, not with three like in this match. It's likely then that Clark will be dropped for Johnson.

That was my reason for not picking them but for the first time in ages those 2 players won't have many teams with them so if they perform like we know they can then those with them will benefit big time.

I just checked your team and we have the same players again. There are only three differences: I've got Clark, Bracken and Haddin. You've got Johnson, Taylor and Ramdin. And apart from the captain, we've got all the same four bonus players. That doesn't happen too often.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I was predicting that Marsh and Watson could open the batting (since Gilchrist and Hayden) aren't here and I believe I got it right. But I've got a bad feeling that Clark won't play.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Here we go. Gayle, Sarwan, Chanderpaul and Ramdin are having injuries. Of them I've got only Chanderpaul. Gayle said he will play through the pain though for the moment.

[aussie1st]

Geez hope Ramdin is alright I don't have too many different players to many teams. Hopes who not too many have is my other hope of staying top.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Gayle, Sarwan and Ramdin are playing. And the one player, which I have, Chanderpaul, isn't playing.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I wasn't sure that Marsh would play in the ODI series, so I didn't make him a bonus player. If I knew that beforehand I would even think about making him captain. He already got 64 runs so far. And Australia are playing without Clark. :

 

[icyman]

Yep,Stuey Clark not playing gonna cost me.He happens to be my bonus as well.

 

[aussie1st]

Bugger should have kept Bracken over Johnson. Hoping Haddin isn't required in future games

So my all my nine players did something, except for James Hopes. I was hoping that Watson could a bit more then only three overs, although he got one wicket.

 

[SciD]

When will my captain play? :

 

[ZexyZahid]

Symonds may play in the last ODI's.

Man this is so not good, you select a bunch of guys and they get injuries before the second game is played, thus putting their selection and you in an unfair position, I honestly believe that this needs to be reviewed.
