World Test Championship - We have our champions

[Till Valhalla]

Gambhir is my captain not Shikhar Dhawan

I think India only have the players which have no been capped.


I am posting my lineup against Pakistan today only as i would not be able to pick it in the next week.
Shikhar Dhawan
Gautam Gambhir (C)
Cheteshwar Pujara
Sachin Tendulkar
Yuvraj Singh^
Dinesh Karthik(WK)
Irfan Pathan^
Ravi Ashwin^
Zaheer Khan^
Pragyan Ojha^
Umesh Yadav^

[Sulaiman7]

Do you mean MVP?

Yeah .

[Aislabie]

Bit disappointed with the number of draws... might switch to playing six-day matches.?

 

[Umair7]

No it will not be enjoyable as now

 

[VC the slogger]

Switch to 9-day matches and you'll NEVER get a single draw .

 

[Ahmad94]

Quite surprised to see Pakistan draw with Zimbabwe, expected better. And got less points.

I always found the Test cricsim hard to rate for. You can't just use the ratings from the OD game and transfer them over.

Yeah, I've found that before. Bit irritating really, and I often find the weaker team pounds the stronger one...

Anyway, I'll keep it the same for now and hope it sorts itself out
