Stubby Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Top innings by the new bloke, Extras. :POn a serious note, I find it hard to credit that 4 fifties in one innings tied the WC record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 On a serious note, I find it hard to credit that 4 fifties in one innings tied the WC record.Really? That is surprising. I suppose if teams bat well then you usually get two or three players taking up a lot of the overs, but still it isn't that much of a push to get four half centuries.On the fantasy front I havn't been able to get on the internet until today so I've been trying to work out my scores from a suspect memory of how the scoring works. Not too bad so far but I think some changes might be called for. I never like substituting fantasy players because they're guaranteed to do well in the very next game. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MultiClassGeek Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I never like substituting fantasy players because they're guaranteed to do well in the very next game. <_<I find that happens to mee, too.the only reason I'm transferring players is that, in this early phase, you might wait a week between matches for your guys. Hence, swapping a player who had a game yesterday for a player or two who's in that day's game plays dividends (unless you pick the team's worst-performing bastman, and make him captain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My Pakistanis did well in the end yesterday.Captain Gayle got 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MultiClassGeek Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This latest passage of play is annoying: Two of my Saffas (Morkel, Kallis) are bowling to by Windies Batsman (Darren Bravo)Oh! The Dilemma! Esecially since I made Kallis my captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I feel your pain. :(Tell me about it, Gayle is my only Windy. The jerk.I got to start doing transfers, especially since I didn't have anyone playing yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Count another who picked Gayle. Amla's my captain, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartTesla Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Middle East uprisings AND South Africa playing three spinners in their team. Two things I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubby Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Pollard might as well have not been playing.I really do suck at fantasy sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Why did I pick Morkel instead of Steyn?Lets just hope it's a big Smith and Kallis partnership to get the runs (with Kallis getting the bigger share, as he's my captain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castleonthehill Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 In all seriousness: Is it truly acceptable to have a spinner be your top sledger? Yah, I get the Warnie thing (but he was Warnie), but would you seriously say he was even the best Aussie of that era? Benn is an goombah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Mongoose Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I looked at the fixture list and completely missed the Australia-NZ game today. So transferred all my Aussies out. :dunce:Johnson gets 4 wickets.... :crying:And Watson got 62. So that was a complete disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So transferred all my Aussies out. :dunce:Johnson gets 4 wickets.... :crying:And Watson got 62. So that was a complete disaster.Reasonably tidy win in the end but I don't think the Aussies should be fooled. Our bowling attack on paper looked like it did well but in reality we got lucky, lots of the wickets were off bad balls - at least three batsmen fell to cut shots to short and wide deliveries. Ponting needs a score to boost his confidence. The rest of the batting lineup looks fine. I do worry however that our bowling attack doesn't have an 'economy' bowler in it - Lee, Tait, Johnson and Krejza can all go for plenty of runs and there is no McGrath-like seamer who is known for his miserly spells. If a power-heavy India, Sri Lanka or South Africa start motoring the ball out of the park I don't know if we have anyone who can stop the flow of runs.
