Even though that's the 24 hour clock, putting in AM will cause less confusion.

This will be very difficult to pick.

I'd say only about 3, 4 players tops who will be in everyones team.

ZexyZahid · 11th April 2006, 10:36 PM

From what I see in the timings there is AM written before the BST. I actually prefer timings in GMT, so everybody can count more easily when the deadline will end.

ZexyZahid · 13th April 2006, 02:47 PM

How is Smith's injury going? Is he fit or what? It was expected that it would be announced on Thursday if he would play or not.

He is supposed to be 50-50 for the match & the Black Caps are confident that Bond will play.

ZexyZahid · 13th April 2006, 04:42 PM

Yeah, I read it was 50/50 already when I posted this thread.

Graeme Smith rated 50-50 to make NZ Test

No word about it yet. I think they will extend the deadline to friday now for him.

It's confirmed that Kallis will lead the Proteas.
It was all over on Sportscenter. today.

Thanks for telling. Cricinfo (still) didn't mention about it.

ZexyZahid · 14th April 2006, 08:22 AM

This will be helpfull. Maybe I will revise my team now.

Team 1 Peter Fulton, 2 Hamish Marshall, 3 Stephen Fleming (capt), 4 Nathan Astle, 5 Scott Styris, 6 Jacob Oram, 7 Brendon McCullum (wk), 8 Daniel Vettori, 9 James Franklin, 10 Shane Bond, 11 Chris Martin, 12 Kyle Mills

Here is the preview of the match with both teams now.

South Africa fret on Smith, but Bond likely to play

too many injuries these days dont know which one is going to play and which one not too.

Sureshot · 14th April 2006, 05:45 PM

Smith is in terrible form anyway.

Picking him is a kick in the teeth without a ball being bowled.

aussie1st · 15th April 2006, 01:15 AM

I've added Ashwell Prince as he seemed to be missing from the list. It's tricky picking which batsmen will go well.

cricket_lover · 15th April 2006, 03:34 AM

and now the news comes...
Bond is ruled out of the first test....this sux, when is he going to play continuously for a while?

aussie1st · 15th April 2006, 04:23 AM

Thanks for that, the Kiwis may have problems bowling out SA now. Franklin might be effective, Martin should be effective but both will need to bowl well.
