Got a reputation to live up to now... haven't seen a lot of these team outside of Aus, Eng, and Saffers though, should be very interesting. You're a legend for doing this Ntini.

Nice one Ntini, really looking forward to this and already 5 days booked off work, and plans to work 6am - noon and go back in again about 8 -10.30 to allow me to enjoy the end of the 9am games on quite a few other days.
But what you are all waiting for, the LAW74 ICC would cup 2011 fantasy team is
1) William Porterfield (Ire)
2) Ed Joyce (Ire)
3) George Dockeril (Ire)
4) Eoin Morgan (Ire)
5) Graeme Swann (not Ire, Eng)
6) Jonn Trott (Eng)
7) AB DeVilliers (RSA)
8) Sachin Tendulkar (Ind)
9) M Hussey (Convicts)
10) Shahid Afridi (Pak)
11) Jacques Kallis (RSA)

Should be a great competition and just hope that Ireland can continue to progress in the way we have over the last 10 years or so.

With Eoin and Hussey likely to be out of the tournament, I have decided to replace them with
Cameron White
Umar Gul

 

[leighton]

Law do you think Ireland will get out of the group? Just looking at betting and they are 15/2 to be eliminated in the Quater finals is it worth a bet?

Also was going to put it in a double with Ed Joyce to be top Irish runscorer now is this a good or bad bet. Joyce is 11/4.
