World Cup Fantasy Cricket League

A Flower is unlikely ever to play International cricket again having launched a scathing attack on Mugabe. Well in that case I forgive his absence in my fantasy team.

Its only the start!

Streak has 2 wickets and a catch so far for me though.
 
Yes, but I think he made his statement prior to the match beginning, i.e. this morning. He and Henry Olonga wore black armbands mourning the death of democracy in their country. Mugabe is president of the Zimbabwean Cricket Assoc. I think the prospects of those two playing again after today are slim.

Well then I'll transfer him out :D You can keep him as a sign of solidarity with the zimbos.. have England made the decision yet? they were given till 4pm our time and its about 5 past now.
 
I'll transfer him out too of course, just that no transfer is effective until the "second phase" starting Feb 16th.

England have been given more time to decide because the ICC failed to provide some "security information".

I have started a league on the bbc site - the Kin Fantasy Cricket League.

Have a look and if you fancy it pm me your pin and I'll add you in.

For the English amongst us, you can choose a team without including a single English player, so you do stand a chance.</strong><hr></blockquote>

becks_007 you cannot use the same team id for more than one league.

Yeah, Jayasuriya did well and Murali got a couple and a catch for me.
 
Sangakkara got 3 catches and a stumping,Astle got 3 wickets and Murali got 2 wickets and a catch

aus vs pak in the morning cant wait

this world cup looks shit hot
 
It's times like this I wish I'd invested in Sky. I get to see feck all except at weekends when I'll have to spend an entire day in a pub to watch an england game - what's the likelihood of me remembering the result eh?

In fairness it's times like these that I'm delighted that I have invested in SKY. :D

Cricket World Cup is ace, so much better than these 15 one-day game series with the 2 same countries.

Sorry to gloat but having listened to previous world cups on the radio (not good!) it's great to finally get pictures.
 
no Bevan and no Anwar tomorrow for those who may have picked them.
 
feck anwar is in my team and one of my fave players

how long is he out for?
 
Well I suppose there is a slim chance Anwar could play but he hasn't practised since last Tuesday. It should only be one game at the most.

I'm looking for Ponting, Warne and Aktar to do the business for me.

generous to a fault, me... :( ;)
 
I need some more generosity from you now, EB.

Just lost Shane Warne from my team. :mad:
 
Anwar is definitely not playing. Neither's Mustaq - now why did I select him?

Well Warne is hardly going to do feck all is he?

Besides I forgot to remove those names from the quote. ;)

You're no different!
 
I knew I should have picked Akram!

Great start for Pakistan!
 
I'm bemused as to why Saqlain isn't playing - unless the pitch has nothing in it, but then Saqlain has been the best spinner for years at Surrey on the most batsman friendly pitch in England.
