Cricinfo Fantasy cricket for ICC T20 WC 2012

^^ Lucky I waited till the last moment to make those changes and just when I was about to click confirm, decided the check the toss result and saw rain delay.

Already had Amla, Kallis, Steyn and Malinga in the team, so made only 1 change and brought in Dilshan.

We might get a game, shortened one that is.
The weather looks decent for next few hours, with 30% chance of rain.

Saved a huge deal on my transfer limit

Edit : Took a chance, if it is full 20 overs game, I'm sort of screwed.

We might get a game, max 10 overs.

I made only 2 changes for this match and got in a couple of SL's, so that's okay for me too. Haven't wasted much of the transfers.

I was going to pick one more Sri Lankan player, Jeevan Mendis.
Let's see what happens.
I'm hoping for more rain now, though doesn't look like.

didnt select any new player for this sl-sa match. Only had malinga and mendis. dont know is it good or bad decision?

should be glad that 1 over per bowler don't get any econ points. most probably a bowler will get negative points. Batsmen will smash the bowlers all over the park if its 5 overs game. :P

Bowlers wants batsmen to be aggressive in this format I hope. That would get the risk factor higher. Which would get them more wickets. No? Perfect for Mendis to pick up couple with a Econ of 3?

Anyone know how many overs might be bowled?

Zero may be? But there has to be a Toss first.

[Rabz]

no more than 10 overs if some of you are lucky , those who made 3-4 changes for this game.

[oporajeyo_bangla]

hmmm.... I wonder if the WI-AUS match will also get rain. The forecast says 60% chance of rain. http://www.weather.com/weather/hourb...+CEXX0001:1:CE

[MohammedC]

Only got couple of players for first match. None of them are lankans

[Naimul_Hd]

4.50pm Good news, the rain has stopped and the covers are coming off...but we've heard that before today so how long this positivity lasts remains to be seen.

[Naimul_Hd]

I hope everybody knows that you can't change your players after schedule time of play even the match gets delayed due to rain.

[Maple1900]

I didn't pick anyone from Lankan team

may be sometimes but chance is lot higher even the best bowler will concede more than 10 runs in one over spell and bring negative econ points.
