The other teams were submitted on cc.com, in good time, but I forgot this match was starting, until after the first day had elapsed, so transferred them late....

Well looks like datz how am in 3rd spot in this fantasy in a fantasy league. 'Fortunately' for me Gils & mikesiva selections are heavy on the patriotism front, therefore unless windies produce a massive turn-around in fortunes 3rd out of 5 is where my mediocre fantasy selection will remain.

As for the bigger picture, since the 'mushrooms' turn up on the topic I simply looking NOT to be propping up the table! We will see. Have fun

Bally and Cool take the early lead with identical teams, but osrlive, shivnotout and Disciple are close behind. Those at the bottom are those who were foolish enough to pick West Indians.

That may well be the case mike but seeing datz how I plummet a massive 18 places in the overall league after the second game I can't really say that there is much on my plate to crow about! It looks like I still in third place in the WI-Oz "Five Dogged Men" Test fantasy league.

But is what 'appen to NineMiles Like he pick Bangladeshi players! Did anybody inform him seh that is West Indies vs Australia Never mind 9er I can only imagine how you feeling, but lawd alone knows datzhow I can't work out is how you aint get off the mark yet.

More bad news for 9er

9:50am: Well, it's a new day, the forecast for the fourth day appeared more promising, but rain simply refuses to loosen its grip over the Sydney Test. Greetings and welcome to ESPNcricinfo raindrop-by-raindrop coverage of the SCG Test. It was hosing down overnight as well.
Brace yourselves for those dreaded words: It continues to rain. The covers are on.
