Maybe not so much of a bowlers game then?

It doesn't mean anything in terms of winning matches or league position, more a way of showing how your team has actually performed.

A football analogy would be Opta stats rather than goal difference.

why don't we use it as the goal difference equivalent? seems like a decent idea

I can certainly put in an additional tab that shows an extra table easily enough: ordered by points then ratio? Although shouldn't the bonus points added for victory margins this year lead to a similar result over the course of the season?

I am currently considering this XI for next week:

Abbott, KJ
Trego, PD
Barker, KHD
Clarke, R
Ervine, SM
Hall, AJ
Mullaney, SJ
Harris, JAR
Smith, TC
Overton, J
Willey, DJ

Although if Willey is not bowling, he might be moved further down the list into the reserves

I won with only 8 eligible players this week??? Wtf

You had the second worst team this week Sussex, but won your match due to playing CF !!

Brendy, on the other hand, has the 4th best performing team over the first 2 Matchweeks yet has lost both his matches

He had the misfortune of running into ed Joyce week 1....

Basically on match weeks where notts/Sussex and Middlesex don't.play, I lose the whole of my team

Followed by Cook and Horton in week two.

Rob Key and Chris Wright both under performing is hurting me, despite me having the 4th best performing team. But I know that the moment I drop them, they'll perform.

Sorry DFM, I was confusing myself yesterday

A couple of beers too many watching Sarries annihilate Clermont should really have left it 'til this morning

Any other errors, please let me know

Battle of the bowlers between me and Red - if the rain across the country ever clears.

Not sure they'll be too many runs scored in our match-up (unless the Rose Bowl is as flat as a pancake).

Change of plan:

I have copied the squads to a Matchweek 4 tab, but have deliberately duplicated player 29 in position 30 too. This will then show whether teams have been updated.
