The ICC has put up their World Cup Fantasy tournament for those who are interested.

Shane Watson has the second highest value in it.

He was also Rahul Dravid's pick for 'dependable player'.

Do you guys think Warner would still sledge a 14 year old girl?

I was playing in a game against Cricketers Club of NSW for our local Tawa team, and one of the Wellington Blazes players (our local Women's team) bowlers was playing for us. Says she's massively over-rated.

Guess I'm the David Warner.

I haven't been this excited for a Cricket world cup in ages. As a long time supporter of the Black Caps, it just seems like we have a real chance this time.

The prices seem a bit too low, you don't really have any reason to choose scrub league players.

Yeah they've really hosed those prices up. I've put Amla, de Villiers, Warner, Smith, Johnson and Philander in my team and only had to balance it out by buying one cheapo I've never heard of.

can't imagine that the 14 year olds grandad being an ex black cap prob hurts her chances tho.

You only have to pick three bowlers. I'm not sure if that's going to be representative of how the tournament goes.

The funniest thing about the pricing is that Glenn Maxwell is worth the same as Steve Smith. I get that they came up with the prices by looking at career stats, but based on recent form maxwell should be worth about $50k (I picked him anyway)

Working in software I know exactly what happened.

They almost certainly balanced it properly and then some ICC CEO couldn't pick all his favourite players and made them "fix" it.
