Finch with a ton, Marsh with 5 wickets and none of us picked either of them ::)

Oh, and lucky there's no minus points for ducks in this comp, hey PB :P
I'm only slightly regretting going Hazlewood over Finch.  :'(

Oh and add the fact McClenaghan didn't play the first game either.  :(

Lakmal did well and Buttler at least didn't get 0.  :P
Smith  :'(

We've got no right to cry, PB has Watto and Morgan.  :-\

I blame all of this on me thinking that picking good players would work out better. I should've just picked my favourite players

Root wasn't much better.

Just looking at some of the players we all skipped, there are still some pretty decent names we passed on.  :o

I was very close to picking Thirimane but instead went for Jayawardne ::)

It's Game 2 of 42. Provided that Watson holds his spot in the team then I'm not worried.

He doesn't deserve to.

I'm still really worried about my very first pick of Chris Gayle. There's no middle ground with it I reckon. He'll either star or flop and there are a few Windies players leftover I wouldn't mind instead haha.

Matsikenyeri not playing either. I thought it was safer to go him than Kamungozi. Apparently not.

Happy with Corey Anderson and Broad. Bit devo i went Clarke over Finch. Just went that way as i dont rate finch against the moving ball and before that innings I would have dropped him before Bailey for Clarke

Torp's got this!

Also, im disappointed at the lack of aggression shown towards great bowlers! Batsman only have a slight edge because of the size of the bats now and how far a pathetic mishower goes! But why underestimate the bowlers? They will still dominate and take wickets!
Something that was said on the radio triggered me to remember this post.

Three matches in, 53 wickets have been taken, that is 1060 wicket points. In comparison, 1753 runs have been scored. That's a big difference seeing it's only 3 matches in. I can see now why the ICC fantasy game has it as 30 points per wicket :P

JP, not a bad pick for my last pick 8)
Not quite as good, but pretty happy with my last pick Raina's performance today :)
