So my WC fantasy team is:

Rahane
Williamson
Maxwell
Machan
De Villiers
Taylor
Shakib
Afridi
Philander
Hazlewood
Anderson

I think that should be fine but idk.

I'll probably put him in some time before it starts.

We have the fantasy thread for that Nigey ;)


Really really hoping Gary's 57 will get him a spot for Saturday's match!

Mr. Ballance just took a very good catch diving forward full stretch :)

I'm clearly blind and cannot find it.  :-X :(

Thinking two things other than the success of the Aussies should our full team play!

New Zealand likely to win their semi final! But Sri Lanka will struggle, even the South Africans could struggle a little for how good they should be!

AB De Villiers to be the top run scorer!

Funny how based on the way they qualified, New Zealand shouldn't even get out of their group lol.

I noticed that the other day. That is humorous ;D

My guess for Australia:
Finch
Warner
Watson
Smith
Bailey
Maxwell
Marsh
Haddin
Johnson
Starc
Cummins

My guess for England:
Ali
Bell
Ballance
Root
Taylor
Morgan
Buttler
Woakes
Broad
Anderson
Finn

I hope they drop Bopara, even though I like him, and play Ballance :)

The only thing I'd change is probably Cummins for Hazlewood.

Cummins has the pace and aggression, but then so do Starc and Johnson.

Hazlewood is less hit and miss, bowling a good line and length, is a tad more consistent and is more economical.

Honestly though, it's a flip of the coin I reckon.

[Rusty00]

Agree with Nige, Hazlewood has earned his spot ahead of Cummins at the moment.

There are some pretty interesting stats there.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

De Villiers should add some more records to his name, absolute star.

Decided to put a few bob on the man and was delighted when I saw $13 next to his name for most runs ;D
