| England V SA Fantasy contest This is an attempt to run a fantasy contest. Three contests 1 ODI only 2 Test only 3 Test + ODI combined You can pick one team only. Squads England squads from http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2...ENG-SQUAD.html Test Squad
To be confirmed but a start would be to look at who went to India Test *Graeme Smith Hashim Amla Zander de Bruyn Boeta Dippenaar Andrew Hall Jacques Kallis Makhaya Ntini Charl Langeveldt Justin Ontong Robin Peterson Shaun Pollock Jacques Rudolph +Thami Tsolekile Alfonso Thomas Martin van Jaarsveld Mark Boucher Herschelle Gibbs I'll confirm the squads for South Africa as soon as I know more. Any pointers would be welcome. Who do I consider all rounders? Andrew Flintoff Paul Collingwood Shaun Pollock Andrew Hall Jacques Kallis Lance Kluesner Does this seem fair? If I've made glaring omissions or errors of judgement please let me know. I hope I've got this aboout right. By the way, just found this list on the internet, so this may help those SA fans think about possibilities in the squads South African contracted players.(2004-2005) 1 Paul Adams, 2 Nicky Boje, 3 Mark Boucher, 4 Boeta Dippenaar, 5 Herschelle Gibbs, 6 Andrew Hall, 7 Jacques Kallis, 8 Lance Klusener, 9 Neil McKenzie, 10 Andre Nel, 11 Makhaya Ntini, 12 Robin Peterson, 13 Shaun Pollock, 14 Ashwell Prince, 15 Jacques Rudolph, 16 Graeme Smith, 17 Martin van Jaarsveld, 18 Monde Zondeki. (cricinfo) Once I have some idea of a concrete list for South Africa test ond ODI's I'll post it. Until then if you want an early pop use the individuals on this post. A click on the underlined names gives information on these players if the link works. Rules You can choose any 11 players from the squad list as long as you choose 5 batsmen 1 All rounder 1 keeper 4 bowlers No substitutions (I'm really too busy!) Rules Scores like this Appearance +1 Fielding: Each catch taken +5 Each stumping +20 Bowling: Each wicket taken +30 Each 5 runs conceded -1 Batting: Each run scored +1 Each duck -30 (does not apply to players listed as bowlers) Your captain will score double points (including minus points) at all times. I run the scores on an Excel spreadsheet on my computer so if you want a copy, let me know. How do I pick a team? Study the player list above and choose 11 players. You must choose: 5 batsmen 1 wicket keeper 1 all-rounder 4 bowlers A player can only be selected once in your team. You can choose as many players from one country as you like. You must nominate one player from each chosen eleven to be your captain, who will score double points. Rules.

| Herschelle Gibbs Graeme Smith Michael Vaughan Rob Key Graham Thorpe Andrew Flintoff (c) Geraint Jones Ashley Giles Matthew Hoggard Makhaya Ntini Steve Harmison I don't mind which competition it runs in. Actually, with Vaughan, Key, Thorpe and Hoggard this doesn't look a good team for the ODIs, so I'll go for test only. |
