How'd my players world cup go you ask? MS Dhoni 150 @ 30.00 DM Bravo 139 @ 23.16 JEC Franklin 52 @ 17.33 Mahmudullah 32 @ 16 3 W @ 41.33 SL Malinga 6 @ 6 11 W @ 20.72 Not exactly a great success. Junaid didn't end up playing and neither did Ferguson.
I never realised that Piranha, Kashual and Senananannananayake all play for the same team. Needless to say they're all gunning it. Senanananana has 37 wickets for 16.02 this season. Piranha 756 @ 94.50 Kashual 507 @ 72.42 On other Avengers new season form news Cumming 623 @ 47.92 Aldridge 28 W @ 23.07 However Morton is averaging SFA. While everyone else is either in their off-season or was at the world cup.
Trial stats Openers: Trescothick 146 @ 73 Cumming 99 @ 49.5 Piranha 86 @ 21.5 Who I will play: Trescothick and Piranha, if Piranha continues to fail Cumming will get a game. Middle Order (3-7): Bravo 241 @ 60.3 JK Silva 202 @ 50.5 Laxman 186 @ 93 Mahmudullah 104 @ 104 Ferguson 84 @ 84 MS Dhoni 81 @ 40.5 Morton 63 @ 31.5 Franklin 39 @ 19.5 Who I will play: Bravo, Dhoni and Laxman are instant starters the other two spots are going to Silva and Franklin. Plenty of competition here could see any failures replaced pretty quick. Tail (8-11): Tanvir 85 @ 28.3 Senanayake 53 @ ** Khan 21 @ 10.5 Hilfenhaus 22 @ 7.33 Singh 21 @ 10.5 Malinga 0 @ 0 Who I will play: Tail batting isn't that important in team selection but it is good to see Tanvir or Senana have potential at #8. Bowling: Hilfenhaus 9 @ 32.9 Malinga 4 @ 30.5 Senanayake 4 @ 31.3 Khan 3 @ 47 Mahmudullah 3 @ 78 Franklin 1 @ 83 Singh 1 @ 134 Tanvir 1 @ 171 Who I will play: Well Hilfy, Malinga and Senana are the only ones with respectable figures and are pretty much set on getting a game. The last bowling role is slightyly up in the air right now, Tanvir vs. Junaid vs. Pankaj vs. the unplayed Aldridge. Will have a think about it. Not played: Aldridge 1st XI ME Trescothick NT Paranavitana DM Bravo VVS Laxman JK Silva JEC Franklin MS Dhoni (+) SMSM Senanayake ---------------- BW Hilfenhaus SL Malinga
I reckon you could really, really do with Franklin having a good season with both bat and ball. If he becomes a 'nothing' player, you've really wasted an early pick.
