karteekmvs Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I think my luck is running out these days. SS gave up on me the other day just when I was about to substitute Brad Hodge. Typically, I have Uthappa in my side but looking at Malinga, Zaheer, Bhajji and Bravo, I decided to go against him. I ran out of patience with MSD and promptly went for Big Jake. I still wonder why the selfish MSD pushed himself up with the left-armer Ojha not having bowled a single over before his arrival. That was an ideal platform for Raina.
Tapioca Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 It is only now that the scores in the top-20 has begun to spread out. Till now, they were in bunches - like there will be 5 people within a 100 point span. Then there will be a big gap and another bunch and so on. Now the guys are all fairly evenly spaced.
Dinx - the Jinx Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 IPL is hotting up in SA. Super Selector at ICF on fire... all over the world.. can i say that? I see that there are 311 players this time? Can anyone tel me what was the highest ever in the history of SS @ ICF?
Tapioca Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Last year it was 178 http://indiancricketfans.com/index.php?pageid=superselector&ssid=31
Tapioca Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Shane - Dinakkar - Tapioca - Karteek 5973 - 5826 - 5819 - 5812 at the start of the match
Shane Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 We have a new leader out there. Well done Tapioca. :hatsoff: Well done Tapioca
Tapioca Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 It is back with Shane now :hatsoff: I had Smith every match except the first, and till now the net income was negative :-) Have also continued to pick Katich for KXIP.
Rajan Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 i think among Top 20, only 1 has Naman Ojha in theSS team. that is an inspired selection. gained close to 100 points by that-well done..... Kunal C Bhavsar!
suraj Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 It figures- the first time I drop Smith after keeping him in the team forever and losing points on him he goes nuts!!! I hate Smith:((
Rajan Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 It figures- the first time I drop Smith after keeping him in the team forever and losing points on him he goes nuts!!! I hate Smith:(( Suraj, seriously we have something in common, that is Bad Luck! that smith fellow cost me a lot of points by failing consistently and even if playing 1 unbeaten innings, scoring too slowly in that too! i was frustrated and drop him today and the man gifts 70 + points to competitors!hmmmmmmmmm, instead of blaming luck, i think i shud learn to back the right players and take some calculated risks !

Oh I could go on and on whining about SS but it will do me no good- the day I drop Abdullah he picks 4 wkts, I pick him up today he get spanked I picked Dwayne Smith and he got out cheaply & didn't bowl well, I substituted with Rohit Sharma who fails and instead Smith gets lucky again & again to score runs the day I din't pick Boucher he won the match singlehandedly, I picked him he gets out for a duck against Yuvi of all people Hodge, Albie Morkel, Dhoni I can go on and on but bottomline that is what makes SS so fascinating:icflove:

Tapioca Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Brilliant. Cricinfo match times are wrong and SS is closed
suraj Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Brilliant. Cricinfo match times are wrong and SS is closed It is open again- I just wasted points because I was afraid that SS will close so blindly put in players without even knowing who was playing. Now its open again so I have to substitute for players that are actually playing:((

suraj Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I was tempte dto pick the newcomer but chickened out. Now he will be the man of the match with a 50 and 3-4 wkts to his name:giggle::giggle:
Tapioca Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 In the top-7, only Shane and me have McCullum. Three people have van Wyk, and Shane is the only one who has both. Expect his lead to grow to 100 or 200 by the end of the innings :hatsoff:
Dinx - the Jinx Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I was tempte dto pick the newcomer but chickened out. Now he will be the man of the match with a 50 and 3-4 wkts to his name:giggle::giggle: which new comer dude?
suraj Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 which new comer dude? Henriques and as I expected he dcores when batting and bowls a good spell while Ishant gets whipped :((
