Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

I am very eager to see how I am getting on. Kumar and Anderson have scored me a few points. Not had much joy with my batters though, Pujara aside.

I knew I should have picked all Indian players. A guaranteed jinx.

I did.... but didnt pick Kumar, Rahane or Sharma...

I had the day off today and I thought I would update the scores. I hope you don't mind and I hope I have not made any errors.

My faith in Cook and Bell not paying off yet.

That was supposed to be an ironic comment, given how they scored so many in the game just gone.

Kohli owes me a few though.

No worries. Hard work.

I think they're all correct. I thought I would be leading by now...One day.

Just an update on Buttler score. Thought it looked a little high. My spreadsheet added another 60 somehow. Sorry Making_Splinters..

thanks GotG.

My 4 man team in the 3rd test costing me my lead. Who would have thought that Ashwin wouldn't feature at all? Not me, that's for sure.

Bring on the 4th test and a 5 man team, hopefully.

I can recognize irony when I see it AC.

So was my comment for the same reason.
