chrisobee Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 I'm sure his six wickets helped me into second place Doubtless but just make sure you drop him for the Lords game!
JustMike Posted 13 July, 2009 Author Posted 13 July, 2009 pleased with 5th after the first test. Didnt think hilfanous (sp) would do so well :-)
saintwarwick Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Doubtless but just make sure you drop him for the Lords game! Don't worry that is my intention.
chrisobee Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Well I'm definitely going to drop Broad and probably Flintoff ( injured?) .
chrisobee Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 pleased with 5th after the first test. Didnt think hilfanous (sp) would do so well :-) Close, Ben Hilfenhaus
chrisobee Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Don't worry that is my intention. Lol, I'm only worried about my team, I'd be happy for you to pick him
mynameisthehulk Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Someone has picked Hauritz! I'm sure his six wickets helped me into second place England bowlers let me down badly I dont think he bowled particularly well, but that post did cross my mind when he got Strauss
chrisobee Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Ok, out with Swann, Cook and Flintoff, in with KP, Siddle and Katich. Last chance saloon for Broad though only as I could not really replace him with someone who is likely to play ( though picking someone who wasn't going to play might have been a wiser option TBH !)
JustMike Posted 16 July, 2009 Author Posted 16 July, 2009 mmm dilema, to stick with freddie or not. I suppose i have until 11 before the transfer thing shuts

Saintjersey Posted 16 July, 2009 Posted 16 July, 2009 I wish they would tell us the team soon, so I can make any changes which are needed!
saintwarwick Posted 16 July, 2009 Posted 16 July, 2009 I wish they would tell us the team soon, so I can make any changes which are needed! Me as well, I work nights and am waiting to go to bed.
Saintjersey Posted 16 July, 2009 Posted 16 July, 2009 Me as well, I work nights and am waiting to go to bed. Bad times.
JustMike Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 moves me up to 3rd after that game. sooo glad i stuck with freddie!! :-)
chrisobee Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 moves me up to 3rd after that game. sooo glad i stuck with freddie!! :-) LOL I dropped Swann, Cook and Flintoff. Great move as my transfers always backfire !!!! But amazingly I still moved up to 4th :smt102
Saintjersey Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Can someone please post the updated table as I'm at work and can't access it.

saintwarwick Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Still top.... But it's getting close!!! Yep, chasing you down
chrisobee Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Question for me now is whether to reinstate Flintoff and Swann. Lost me big points at Cardiff but would have scored well for me at Lords. Really tough being a selector
saintwarwick Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 Question for me now is whether to reinstate Flintoff and Swann. Lost me big points at Cardiff but would have scored well for me at Lords. Really tough being a selector It's all about how the players perform on the day really. We can all pick a decent team from the choices available but it's down to whether the player performs or not. As for the selectors they only have one team to pick from, we have two!!
JustMike Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 i suppose alot depends on the fitness of KP and Freddie. Will leave my team alone until more is revealed.
chrisobee Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 It's all about how the players perform on the day really. We can all pick a decent team from the choices available but it's down to whether the player performs or not. As for the selectors they only have one team to pick from, we have two!! No, I'm glad I dropped Flintoff and Swann, as I said before my tranfers always backfire so I'm wondering who else I can drop from the England team for the next match and then watch them score mega points !! I might well pick Lee if he is fit and watch him get hammered !!
JustMike Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Posted 23 July, 2009 question is now for me..who do i pick instead of KP?
chrisobee Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 question is now for me..who do i pick instead of KP? I know who I would pick if I were you !!
saintwarwick Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 question is now for me..who do i pick instead of KP? Me as well although I'm down to a choice between two.
JustMike Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Posted 23 July, 2009 I know who I would pick if I were you !! who?? ;-) i was thinking collingwood, north or katich. possibly cook. i guess i will wait until england choose their replacement and see if watson plays
chrisobee Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 who?? ;-) i was thinking collingwood, north or katich. possibly cook. i guess i will wait until england choose their replacement and see if watson plays Katich ! You surely will not pick Bell
JustMike Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Posted 23 July, 2009 Katich ! You surely will not pick Bell well...Bell is a good fielder so may get me some points with that :-)
chrisobee Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 I'm waiting to see if Lee and Watson play, both have of course been injured so I'd be surprised if both play though I read Watson may replace North ? I think Stuart Clark might play, probably for Johnson though weather permitting the Aussies 3 day game at Nothants will be interesting.
chrisobee Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 well...Bell is a good fielder so may get me some points with that :-) Pretty feeble reason for picking him TBH
JustMike Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Posted 23 July, 2009 I'm waiting to see if Lee and Watson play, both have of course been injured so I'd be surprised if both play though I read Watson may replace North ? I think Stuart Clark might play, probably for Johnson though weather permitting the Aussies 3 day game at Nothants will be interesting. Watson is supposed to be coming in for Hughes, possibly even opening. S. Clark is a good player too. As for Bell, yes it is feable but whats the betting if i dont pick him, he has a stormer!
chrisobee Posted 23 July, 2009 Posted 23 July, 2009 As for Bell, yes it is feable but whats the betting if i dont pick him, he has a stormer! About the same as if you did pick him TBH = no chance
JustMike Posted 23 July, 2009 Author Posted 23 July, 2009 About the same as if you did pick him TBH = no chance haha ok. i think im just going to wait until the teams are announced
Saintjersey Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Need to take KP out of my team now, guessing a few people will now need to make changes.
JustMike Posted 27 July, 2009 Author Posted 27 July, 2009 yep i will too, leaving my team until its announced at 10:30, i think the aussies will make a couple of changes too
Saintjersey Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 (edited) yep i will too, leaving my team until its announced at 10:30, i think the aussies will make a couple of changes too I have Johnson in my team, but I really don't see how they can still pick him. I reckon Clark for Johnson, and we may even see Watson recalled to the team. Edited 27 July, 2009 by Saintjersey
chrisobee Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Indeed I needed to leave out KP and Johnson ( even if he plays which is unlikely) and have brought in Flintoff and Clark who surely must play. I still have 2 changes if anything happens between now and Thursday.
JustMike Posted 27 July, 2009 Author Posted 27 July, 2009 Johnson has to be dropped surely, but with the coach coming out saying that he will find his form does make me wonder.
chrisobee Posted 27 July, 2009 Posted 27 July, 2009 Johnson has to be dropped surely, but with the coach coming out saying that he will find his form does make me wonder. Well it is partly a confidence issue and I'm sure he will recapture his form but it's not likely to be this summer.He will be left out on Thursday I'm sure but if he plays then that's good news for us!
JustMike Posted 30 July, 2009 Author Posted 30 July, 2009 right, decision time..mmm nope, still not sure what to do :-)
JustMike Posted 30 July, 2009 Author Posted 30 July, 2009 watson in for hughes according to aussie media
chrisobee Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 watson in for hughes according to aussie media Yep, it seems so and opening as well which seems risky to me. Johnson is set to play though.
JustMike Posted 30 July, 2009 Author Posted 30 July, 2009 right, have made my choices, assuming that the transfer thing still shuts at 11am.
chrisobee Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 Ah well I'll take a chance Clark is not playing ( cannot believe why ) and go with: AJ Strauss, JM Anderson,, SCJ Broad, PD Collingwood, A Flintoff, RT Ponting, MJ Clarke, BJ Haddin†, BW Hilfenhaus, SM Katich, P Siddle
Saintjersey Posted 30 July, 2009 Posted 30 July, 2009 I'm actually keeping Johnson in my team as surprising he has scored me quite alot of points (mainly from his batting).
Saintjersey Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Anybody put Watson in? I was tempted but didn't Bet he scores a century now and takes a 5 wicket haul.
