Chris'd off

Nash and Rushworth are double-handedly winning my MW17 game versus Boycott's Bashers

276 runs and 15 wickets for the pair so far, against my 375 runs and 7 wickets for my entire (albeit 9-man) team

If it cheers you up Ian, I have Stoneman,Jennings,Robson and Eckersley who scored a combined sod all. Coles' 4 wickets have probably beaten me single handedly.

I will try to do the update whilst away, WiFi dependant of course!

Updates will have to wait until there is a tropical storm

It is far to nice here to be sitting inside on a laptop

It's lovely here too, sat on the Met line and hoping that it will not be raining when I get into London! Hope you have a great holiday

My wife is sleeping off a hangover from more than several cocktails last night, so have had a chance to get this done.

Matchweek 17 update:

So RD retains the title with all other positions to be finalised in the last round of matches

woohoo

good work on the comp again Ian

I had a late wobble there witha couple of defeats but managed to hang on. Already looking forward to next year

wooden spoon for me

still....... I think I've worked the game out now, so looking forward to turning things around next year

cheers ian. looks like a lot of work, this one. mine are much easier I think

where on holiday are you?

Montego Bay

Is quite a lot of work, but much easier than last year now we're using the Google Docs for picking the teams each week. I already have a plan to make those better and more helpful for next year.

The bonus point system will also be altered, as most match winners have accrued 21/22 points so it hasn't been the differential I first thought it would be. I currently favour these being based on team performance rather than margin of victory, but am open to suggestions.

If all 8 of us play next year, then an addition duo bringing us up to 10 would also help

I once spent several weeks in the Caribbean, back in my navy days. 1982 to be precise, so it was a while ago. White sands, warm seas, shark sandwiches, mental taxi drivers with funny smelling cigs hanging out of their mouths. Woolworths and British bobbies in Port of Spain, Rasta's and American cops in San Juan. State run brothels in Curacao and Aruba, and people with chickens and goats in the newly built hospital in Dominica. We were supposed to be going to Fort Lauderdale too, but something more important cropped up and got in the way. Still.... the Caribbean is a very cool place to go. I enjoyed it

Finalised details after Matchweek 18:

Congratulations (again) to RD on consecutive victories

Thanks for playing everyone, CFM will return in 2015

Well done Red and Ian for all the hard work.

I hope your holiday was a good way to relax after all of the perseverance in this tourney!

Well done all.

I think my batting heavy outfit in reality was a bad move, but like DFM says, we live and learn for next time. My team couldn't buy a wicket all year..... at least I didn't finish last.
