well done AC :salute

good scores, well calculated, from my boys, after a shaky looking start.

3rd is a decent position, assuming there are no appeals from the soil association

The sponsors have insisted on a photogenic winner, who preferably looks good in a mini skirt. So that may be a factor as the series goes on.

Hi bn. There was less to do than I thought. I imagined I'd be working out net run rates and stuff. I might be able to pick better teams now I know the rules. Cheers.

Obviously, Mike should be bottom... I'm not trying to provoke Adi... I did the table once and lost it when the page decided to refresh. It was in the right order that time...

I do think having a grasp of the rules allows you to be very tactical in your selections.

Very prompt , Arthur :clap

I note that hope and I have just one point of difference : but his selection of AB over my Cook is currently the difference between Top and Mid-table mediocrity...

I should have gone for Bairstow :)
