Come join the insanity.

So, at Stani's insistence, I have joined the fantasy cricket over at Cricket Web for the duration of the T20 world cup. It looks like fun, so I think you should all join us.

Now, when you see my team you will most likely do one of the following:

a) laugh at me and mock me cruelly
b) think I have lost my mind and suggest therapists
c) all of the above

Here it is:

David Warner
Chris Gayle
Murali Vijay
Cameron White
Paul Collingwood (c)
Abdul Razzaq
Albie Morkel
Tim Paine
Mitchell Johnson
Lasith Malinga

... and ...

Graeme Swann (spit, spit)

BUT ... before you go sending counsellors to my house, hear this: I had a budget. I couldn't, for example, afford Dhoni as keeper and had to settle for Paine. I needed a spinner and My Lord is more actually expensive than Graeme Swann.

So you see, it isn't all bad.

It hurts, but it isn't all bad.

AhahahahahSwannhahahahaha
But Timmy is pretty good and can also hit it. Not the worst choice. Remember he won the FR Cup all on his own! Also looking at the rest of the team there would definitely have been a lack of cute without him. Yeah but you have Razzaq the übercool man, and Colly and Cam and Mitch and Albie and the above mentioned devil's grandmother and so on and so on... you have a fat team Sid. Good luck!

Doohoohahahaaaa,

We have three of the same players Sid. You didn't copy me did you? I must admit, you did well. I thought you would go on looks but you've managed to keep in mind the game of cricket. Not bad.

I actually had two credits left over and didn't feel I wanted to use them. So, if you beat me, that's my excuse :P You is going down girrrl!

Stani Army said...

ANYONE CAN JOIN IN!

Go on Sid, threaten 'em like you do with me.

Lou said...

Timmy won't be playing though, will he?

Good on you, for picking MJ, thousands wouldn't... but they'd be wrong.

Wes said...

I think Mitch is gonna be one of the most outstanding blitzies, along with Steyn maybe. They also played Fantasy Cricket at that second warm-up btw.

Mudassar, will go over and have a look.

Wes, I had Graeme Smith initially as well but thought I needed to bring the weight level down!

Lou, I do worry that Paine won't play and I won't get any points there. But you never know ... plus I ran out of money and he was cheap.

Stani, which are the 3 players we have in common? You don't have an Aussie or two in your team by any chance do you?

Stani Army said...

Two Aussies Sid. I had three but Mussey had to go. Make sure you join the league when you signed up like Mudassar said above. That way you won't know when I beat you :)

Lou said...

Is it just me who thinks Chris Gayle is a lovely looking man?

Stani Army said...

No Lou, Chris Gayle thinks so too ;)

Sidthegnomenator said...

Just you and Gayle though, Lou.

Lou said...

Well at least he and I show good taste.

Stani Army said...

Lou,
Gayle agrees

:)
