This is how it goes:
  • Select 5 players of your choice before the T/20 WC starts, and post them here!
  • For every 5 runs player of your choice scores you get 3 points.
  • For every wicket a player of your choice picks up, you get 3 points.
  • You can not change your team once selected!
At the end of the series, the member with highest points wins.If you don't understand, feel free to ask.

I will select my players maybe tomorrow after having a closer look at the squads.Slash that!My team:

1)R.Ponting
2)K.Pieterson
3)M Dhoni
4)H Gibbs
5)V Sehwag

Hope its FUN!SmileEmbarrassedBig%20smile

This is very strange I'd say.  5 runs are equivalent to a wicket?  Why would anyone pick a bowler?

thats a good rule, most batsman only get aboutm 20-30 in 20/20 games. and one wicket equals 25 runs if you look at it for how many runs it is for which is the equivalent for a wicket

That's largely because there have been just 16 Twenty20 Internationals and sides have been finding their feet with the new format.

That figure will be more than doubled by the end of the tournament. It will happen sooner or later, just like the first Test triple century or ten wicket haul or one-day international 150, it'll take time.
