after the first game.. I am going to trust your instincts and am making Gambhir as my trump.
But Murphy's law, which always seems to hold true for me, says that Flintoff will fire tomorrow as I removed him from trump status.
Let us see who wins tomorrow..ur instincts or Murphy's Law!!

Didn't replaced YUVI in one of team as he is not sure of today will play or not, and i have lost 3 transfers already on that team and saved that transfers for Ishant when he comes and this is long series... Best of luck to all of you.
Avi says: I agree, i think I might have made a meal of my chances in this series. Ah well, it happens.

Who you login to play the game i login but i can't find a way to play the game.
Avi says: I'm sorry? You need your Cricinfo user id and then have to make teams. Should be pretty easy.

:| disappointed with my decision to stuck with sehwag as TP for 2nd ODI. Match is on, I am sure i will go down from current position(387) on leadeboard. Yourag seems unfit for the match but he has done it again with ball also what a player, i will trust on him on the up coming series and in IPL too.
Avi says: Me too. This series have really messed up. Better luck next time.

@pradeep sachin is out for 3 intial matches then look out for selectors abt wat is happening.... my team rank improved a bit to 2700's with yuvi,gambhir and broad in my side however trump was dhoni for nothing in this game...sidebottom i replaced with anderson but he didn't play..i will nt make any changes for next match(might be TP)unless anything abt sidebottom is out

Hey guys i selected yusuf pathan for second ODI, but i didnt got any point for him..can some body explain pls,..
Avi says: You have to pick the player before the cut-off time for the points to count. That might be the problem. Generally, the system is foolproof. So the problem is almost always because of human error. This has been my experience.

what about the 3rd ODI then? Kanpur pitches are generally lifeless. so it is again going to be a run feast. Who is ur trump going to be this time?
Avi says: I think I'm going to stick with Gambhir. Though I am tempted to go with Yuvraj. Hmm ...
Posted by: dps at November 18, 2008 4:14 PM
well... i think it will be a high scoring game again... dhoni as a trump might be the way to go! what u guys think?
