Australia, India and Sri Lanka clash in the Commonwealth Bank Series this year and we have a Fantasy Cricket game to add to the excitement. Last year, Australia dominated for much of the CB Series before three straight losses to England saw them suffer their first home finals defeat for 14 years. This year the hosts face the challenge from India and Sri Lanka, and this triangular tournament will surely make for some thrilling Fantasy Cricket. What's more, we have some exciting prizes in store. The manager of the top team for each ODI will get an iPod Shuffle while the overall series winner at the end of the game walks away with a PlayStation Portable. The runner-up for the series will get an iPod Nano 4 GB with the third place pocketing a Canon Powershot 5MP camera. | Matthew Hayden Australia Cost - 105000 Hayden muscled everything that was thrown his way in 2007, and finished as the leading run-getter for the year in ODIs, with 1601 runs at an average of 59.29. Bowlers will surely be running for cover if he continues in the same vein. | | Sachin Tendulkar India Cost - 110000 Tendulkar was in sublime form during India's recent ODI series at home against Australia and Pakistan. Frequent dismissals in the nineties notwithstanding, his batting will be a factor in India's chances of winning the tournament. | | Kumar Sangakkara Sri Lanka Cost - 105000 Sri Lanka disappointed during the two-Test series in Australia but Sangakkara dazzled with his 192 in the second Test in Hobart. He's been among the runs since then. Factor in his wicketkeeping and it's certain he'll score a fair share of points in the upcoming tournament. | | Michael Hussey Australia Cost - 100000 An indifferent 2007 for Hussey in ODIs saw his career average drop from a phenomenal 77.11 at the start of the year to a still spectacular 57.34. He's been in good touch in Australia's recent Tests, though, and his team would only be the better for it. | | Yuvraj Singh India Cost - 95000 Yuvraj was in form in the limited-overs format for India in 2007, and sparkled with his 169 in his comeback Test against Pakistan. However, 17 runs in the first two Tests in Australia saw him being dropped for the Perth Test. Expect a fitting riposte to his detractors during the ODIs. | | Upul Tharanga Sri Lanka Cost - 85000 Tharanga raised a few eyebrows opening the batting alongside Sanath Jayasuriya during the 2007 World Cup, a tournament that saw Marvan Atapattu relegated to the bench. However, Tharanga's run in 2007 was nothing to boast about, with 628 runs at 24.15 and an ordinary strike-rate of 65.75. | | Andrew Symonds Australia Cost - 110000 Symonds was in imperious touch in ODIs in 2007, with 808 runs at an average of 62.15 and a strike-rate of 103.98. Add to it his ability to bowl medium-pace or offspin and his towering presence on the field, and no wonder he's the most dangerous figure in the Australian line-up. | |
