Name of the League: TCricket League

Password: kamranakmal

"TC Cricket League" was too long apparently, so this has to do. As for the password; just a random thought

Bump. Last day if anyone's interested.

Steyn is not 100% fit and is doubtful for the match!!

Anyone else getting the 'Down for Maintenance' message on the Fantasy League page?

Come near who?

One of you shall win now. But it'll be akin to stealing a few hours on the throne while the King is held hostage.

Even without Steyn, I fear a top-order collapse from India

I am at work so I will have to just keep looking at scoring sites that keep you updated. I feel we are going into this tournament under prepared.

Great job hiding your team

How do you rate de Villiers' captaincy?

It's a huge boost, no doubt! But Tsotsobe and Morkel still packs a punch. If the top order doesn't collapse, i think we will be fine and may go on to win the match! A lot will depend on the pitch too.

I feel AB lacks a bit of ruthlessness sometimes, he seems to take the easy route or the more responsible route, he doesnt take enough risks for me. To be fair to him this is actually a South African thing.

Tsotsobe is good but Morkel is terrible if he decides to bowl badly, sometimes he gets caught bowling the wrong length, he is good when he hits the deck at a awkward length but he gets frustrated and ends up bowling too short.

Pretty crappy league rules if they allow you to spy freely on rival teams...

Batting looks weak i.e no obvious run-getters like Clarke, Kohli, Amla. If you play it right, you could be high up on the world wide rankings as almost everybody will be stacking their teams with proven batsmen
