It is our turn. HDS' pick was for the round that he missed earlier.

Anyway - this is what our team looks like :

Tiger Kings XI (name chosen by smalishah )

1) Kamran Akmal (Pakistan) (wicketkeeper)
2)
3) Ricky Ponting (Australia) (batsman)
4) Michael Clarke (Australia) (batsman)
5) Yuvraj Singh (India) (batsman)
6)
7)
8)
9) Umar Gul (Pakistan) (bowler)
10)
11)

 

[Athlai]

King of the mother ****ing tigers.

I like it.

Did you guys knowingly set out to draft the most out of form players possible?

Actually it was Howe_zat and Teja's turn only

They had posted their player just 2 mins earlier so I missed it.

 

[Blaze 18]

Does seem that way.

By the way, didn't someone do an analysis on here that seemed to suggest an out-of-form player was more likely to score runs than an in-form one ? I remember reading something like that in one of the Ashes threads. Could be wrong though.

 

[Cevno]

Matt Prior

As he will prbably be opening ,the difference in points between him and the next available keeper in terms of batting is likely to be really big.

 

[NUFAN]

MarcFAN select JP Duminy

Batsman - Dilshan, Duminy
AR - Shakib
WK - DeVilliers
Bowler - Zaheer

King of the mother ****ing tigers.

I like it.

Thank You .........although I still prefer Tiger Kings XI minus the expletives

Did you guys knowingly set out to draft the most out of form players possible?

no marks for guessing .........these guys are due for some big scores and score they will......

Does seem that way.

Yeah......I think it happens most in world cups.....the people expected to do well usually flop and those with no expectations do well........

The analysis and theory were complete rubbish.

Something to do with a batsman having a fixed quota of runs for a series so those that scored big early were bound to fail later in the series.

In fact I go so far as to say it's that bad a theory is elevates the FCA to 2nd worst of all time.

 

[Cevno]

Kami Bhai says hello

You picked him already and i said next available.

Besides Kamran Akmal is no certainty to play and keep wickets.
