Good job GG.
Gee I hate it when match centre isn't up to date with the scores

 

[Brettthejett]

Kallis, hilfy and dunk x2
209 after 1 game is not bad
Hope the weather holds out for melb
Could wreck the weekend if it rains
Good job I only have 2 melb players
and only have to take one players score if need be.
Got lucky put hussey on the bench when I
saw he was batting at second drop.

Horrible round just gone and dropped from 14th to 50th and had to throw a Hail Mary to have any chance. My Hail Mary was Jake Reed and repaid me with a ton and a game in hand (traded in for Behrendorff as 2nd half of punt). So I've had Reed 100, Shoiab Malik 38, Dunk 46 x 2 =92, Cummins 33 for 263 with 11 scores to come (including another Dunk x 2.

Hopefully I can get back in the race!!

Bloody hell that is a great start mate!! Well done!!!

I'm only playing the Fox Sports fantasy competition, but Reed paid me off with a bit of a punt as well.

I'm sitting 45th after being as high as 4th overall (going to a music festival for a few days over New Years cost me a bit of ground).

Will be interesting to see how people suffer if the Stars/Renegades game is a washout!

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Building up to be another exciting finish.

152 to get for India
7 wickets for Australia.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Starc gets Kohli for 46. Big wicket.
First over of his new spell. Kohli got 4 from thick edge early in over that just went wide of gully. Now caught by Watson at first slip.
Big big wicket there.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Starc gets Raina lbw for a duck with a brilliant inswinger.
Lyon dangerous to face at other end.
5 wickets left and about 20 overs left.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

What a first ball.
Amazing, gets edge but not carries.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

3 wickets left and about 11 overs to be bowled. Option of new ball when 10 overs remaining.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

7 overs remain.
New ball was taken. Starc and Harris bowling and Rahane the proper batsman that needs to try to face most balls to save it for India.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

oops. Lyon replaces Harris.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

22 balls left. 3 wickets still remain. India push it in their favour to survive.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Well done India. Survived with 3 wickets remaining.
Australia won series 2-0.

Glenn Maxwell ALR/BAT
Brad Haddin WKP
James Faulkner ALR/BWL

Pat Cummins BWL
Cameron Boyce BWL


I would have picked Coulter-Nile but I think with him only returning to grade cricket this weekend possibly, he sadly misses. I think Wade tonight sews up spot as back up keeper bat.
Pattinson or Harris I would have liked as right hander pace bowlers but just sense selectors want to hold back Harris and Pattinson to concentrate on being fit for West Indies Test series.
Boyce the leg spinner in squad but whether he plays not sure at finals stage.
Shaun Marsh I expect on standby for Clarke. Stiff to miss but not played recent one dayers due to injury and Smith and Bailey locks for me.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Matty Wade back in the runs tonight. Renegades putting on a better show than last week against the Stars.
Have gone with Wright as skipper so hoping he goes big after his duck last game, happy that he grabbed a couple of catches late in the innings.

With Cameron White (Who actually wasn't on your list Oz), Shaun Marsh or Matthew Wade to come in to replace Michael Clarke if need be.
