This time, I decided not to go with the option of picking two fantasy teams. I realised the last few times I hedged my bets I ended up weakening both my teams. For this series, I'm putting all my eggs in one team. Keep an eye out for The Harry Potters Trumped by KP.

Shane Watson of the Eng v South Africa Series Award (SWESAW) of the series: Hashim Amla - 85000_FMs

ACRONYM Helper (AH): The 'Shane Watson Followed By The Name Of The Series Award' (SWFBTNOTSAW) is a prestigious honour instituted in the name of the legendary IPL Star Shane Watson for profoundly impacting the Price/Rewards equation in the sphere of fantasy cricket; suggested reading for those who'd like to acquaint themselves with the Shane Watson Effect (SWE).

HAT-tip (HT): To the guys who've worked out the _FM cost for each of the players. Unlike in the case of the Asia Cup where it turned out to be too easy to put together a team of players with the allotted _FMs or in the Australia v West Indies series where it was too hard, the _FM player-value equation in this series has been just right. Or so it seems. (Maybe it also helped that I chose to assemble only one team.)
