You must select a player who you think will score 20 runs or more in the nominated game. If your player scores 20 runs or more, you stay in and continue. If your player scores less then 20 runs, you are knocked out. If your player doesn't play in the game, you are also knocked out.
The cut off for posting your players is before the first ball is bowled in each match and no editing posts is allowed, so choose your player wisely.
The third game for this competition: West Indies vs New Zealand
My chosen player: Nathan Astle - New Zealand
Good luck everyone. :)

You saved me in the first round with Smith, so I'll repay the favour. Macca's been dropped.

Bad luck mate...
The West Indies collapsing to 6 for 80 at one stage didn't help those who picked West Indian players with the exception of Chris Gayle.

Nasty. I got home from work and thought he hadn't played at all because he didn't bowl, I don't see how you could justify playing him as just a batsman at #7 (#6 if you count Vettori).
Anyway I had fun, who else could say that? Bunch of bores :p
