Captain Fantasy's diary #3

8. 00 am (IST): Sold Rohit Sharma.
8. 01 am (IST): Bought Rohit Sharma.
8. 02 am (IST): Sold Rohit Sharma.
8. 03 am (IST): Bought Rohit Sharma.
8. 04 am (IST): Sold Rohit Sharma.
8. 05 am (IST): Bought Rohit Sharma.
8. 06 am (IST): Sold Rohit Sharma.
8. 07 am (IST): Bought Rohit Sharma.
8. 08 am (IST): Sold Rohit Sharma.
8. 10 am (IST): Took a deep breath and thanked my stars I still have unlimited transfers. (But not for long.)

At 10.15 am (ST) the first Test between South Asia's two biggest teams will commence. And at 10.00 am (IST) a world of unlimited transfers will cease to exist. After 10.00 am (IST) today, you'll have to buy and sell players carefully. Not like I've been bumbling through the last 10 minutes. Which brings us back to the issue of Rohit Sharma. Buy? Sell? Hold?

8.15 am (IST): Sold Rohit Sharma
8.17 am (IST): Bought Vandort.

I think the Sri Lankan opening batsman, Vandort has a better chance of playing all the Test matches than Rohit Sharma. The 'old firm' of Sourav, Sachin and Laxman are too well entrenched for Rohit Sharma to stand much of a chance of breaking into the middle order. (Not just yet.) His time will come. Very soon.

The XI Downing Streets as at (23rd July, 8.17 am, IST):
MG Vandort
LPC Silva
TM Dilshan
DPMD Jayawardene *TP
SR Tendulkar
V Sehwag
KC Sangakkara
BAW Mendis
Z Khan
I Sharma
Harbhajan Singh

I don't think Silva will play.

Good team, except for the fact that Jayawrdene announced that Chamara Silva would not play. I would put in Thilan Samaraweera instead.And also, I feeel Kumar Sangakarra is a better batsman than Mahela Jayawardene, and that Sangakarra should be your trump.
