BTW,you expect them to have premonitions about this thread so that they"ll come within 3 hours and register their teams?No,right.

Forget about me atleast now and carry on with your fun.

No issues but take my call just as a token of respect for your cricketing acumen and insight ................ otherwise we have some 30K other teams to competete, with the team currently being No.1 called some Dada 11 consisting of entire Kolkata players such that the guy couldn't even select his playing eleven and have to leave Virat Kohli (thus 1 point) finally
@ Murty , Dhoni is priced @ 150 when he himself is not sure whether he should play as specialist batsmen or Parthiv Patel if given a chance I would like to make another full team in those 150 points than take MSD as atleast in Fantacy league there's no point for extra-ordinary captaincy if any

@ Swagat, What about Scott Styris being available for full tournament, if am not mistaken he couldn't be taken in the very first match of knight riders itself and will have to adjust on bench till Brendon MacCullum and Ponting etc. leaves, as one of them also needs to go to make way for Umar Gul from their third match.

And,Sorry for the goof up ....too much analysis can also be harmful you see ......I remembered my conclusion but forgot analysis.So here's what I feel about Deccan Chargers--> They have following foreign players:-

1. Adam Gilchirst
2. Andrew Symonds (At least till the end of phase 1)
3. Herschelle Gibbs
4. Shahid Afridi (from match No. 2)
5. Scott Styris
6. Chaminda Vass
7. Chamara Silva
8. Nuyan Zoysa

And thus assuming availability of Herschelle Gibbs, its quite tough to drop anyone from top six mentioned here..................thus Scott Styris playing every game was a risky assumption and hence I avoided him, but at the same point lemme also say that in the first three matches till now all players dropped my me for similar logics have become Man of the Match .............or am I missing something here?

Added Later : Herschelle Gibbs and Afridi are unavailable for first match, so both Scott and Vass can expect a game, but the real issue is after joining of Gibbs and Afridi as dropping anyone from Gilchrist/Symonds/Afridi/Gibbs require gutts, even dropping Vass means compromising high on bowling.........so intresting times ahead for Deccan Chargers( and Styris).....

Gilchrist is a certainty to play the full tourney..that's 1 place out of the way..
Now 3 places remain..bear with me..
As long as Symonds is available, he picks himself..
RP Singh is definitely in the playing XI..so are VVS, Rohit Sharma, Arjun Yadav, Venugopal Rao, Pragyan Ojha.
For the remaining 2 foreign spots, I would pick Styris and Vaas; one is a batting allrounder, the other his bowling counterpart..
T-20 is definitely for the all rounders..expect to see Afridi pipping Gibbs for selection regularly..

Updates..team started scoring points from yesterday

Points- 201
Rank- 3623

Today don't expect much as Malinga is injured and Afridi is unavailable. So 2 players are already out for me . Hoping for more of Mcculum's fireworks and also expecting Uthappa to score some runs.

Cheers..
