Zimbabwe vs West Indies - ODI Series

[Iron-Haggis]

Well I'm off to a good start in my first go at Fantasy cricket, being 5th last. I wasn't helped by the fact that Morton was out for a duck. Plus the bowlers I picked each didn't take any wickets.

 

[jdbais]

My gamble to choose only West Indian players hasn't payed off at all. I will be lucky to avoid the wooden spoon.

 

[Iron-Haggis]

If the Windies bat first and rack up a massive total and bowl Zimbabwe out very cheaply you'll be right back in it.

 

[Sureshot]

Sureshot out in front again, he seems to be in a hot streak.

I'm hot baby :cool:

Team^

It says 2 out of 7.

I thought they were playing 5 ODIs?

 

[ZexyZahid]

No, they are playing seven ODI's: http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2006/ZIM_IN_WI/

Big difference in your team is Prosper Utseya and the fact you don't have Morton, who got a duck.

 

[aussie1st]

Ours teams are quite similar Zexy, only difference is you have Smith.

 

[ZexyZahid]

There isn't much choice I would say. Most of the players everybody got from West Indies.

And West Indies will bat, so that's a good thing. But Collymore isn't playing again.

 

[Sureshot]

He so nearly got in my team, thankfully I didn't pick him.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Somebody got Mupariwa? He got three wickets already.

Somebody got Mupariwa? He got three wickets already.

yeaps i got him as mistake and he got 3 wickets. thats good.

 

[ZexyZahid]

That's good news for you. And the one and only bowler I don't have, Jerome Taylor, has got all three wickets so far.

 

[aussie1st]

Justice Chibhabha is the guy to have. Making runs and took 2 wickets. Taylor also got 4 wickets. Looks like a slide back down the order for me.

Update after the 2nd ODI: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wivzim/engine/match/239908.html?view=frameset;wrappertype=frameset

I gave Coventry a batsman's duck, since he wasn't the wicketkeeper.

I've gone up to three places to the 12th place, but difference with the top has been increased.

Top six don't have Collymore in their side. He should make a difference, if he will get back in the West Indies side.

And the sehwags are on the bottom of the table.
