3 days to go for Mohali (Update)

It's time to take stock of who in your team was worth their fantasy monies. Note: Sometimes it makes sense to stick with your existing team and give the members another chance to find their feet. Other times, you may have spotted a trend or a player who isn't in the best of form or someone who is definitely going to be dropped and feel confident enough to do something about it.

That's why we've given you 8 transfers to play around with for the whole duration of the Test series. Now's the time when you should consider using them. Click here for all the help you need to make up your minds.

1 day to go for Mohali: I'm sticking with the team I had for the first Test. Of the players in my side, Dhoni, Michael Clarke and Brett Lee were the only ones who underperformed. The rest looked in decent nick, so it's only fair that I keep the faith in them.

Going back to the under-performers, I think they're all too good to not come good sooner rather than later. In fact, my gut feeling is they'll all make a big impact in the Mohali Test. (But not big enough to make me change my choice of Trump Player, the intensely focussed and very hungry Michael 'Mr. Cricket' Hussey.)

And all this to say you have till 9 AM tomorrow to ring in the changes, if any, and finalise your teams for the second Test at Mohali that starts tomorrow. Good luck.

Looks like it's raining - maybe an underprepared pitch? Good for the seamers early and the spinners later? With rain around would you want to bat first?

RP singh should replace partial injured kumble and India should go with three seamers, munaf, Zahir and Ishant. speeners role can be played by Bhaji and Veeru.

Dear Avinash, i am going with hayden insted of pointing its a huge risk as hayden fail to preform in the first test but my gut feeling says that he about to bust open and i also don't think that hussy will provide as many point as he did in the first game i might be wrong but i am replacing him with michale clarke. i am also changing my trump from Lee to Watson he pretty good in the first test. so risk risk risk early on. what do you think Avinash?

Avinash says, "I think at the end of the day one can only go with ones gut feelings. As the possibilities are endless. Good luck, may the best men win. And thank you for writing."
