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

BN will let you know three things:

1. BN obviously has about as much nous about Aus cricket as BN does about cricket in general.
2. So far BN has not been on the bottom but back on the bottom is fair enough given BN's normal performance in these things.
3. Move along, nothing to see here.

BN has deliberately used the third person so AC cannot get some tailwind behind his gender specific posters' list.

Fine work as ever DFM, even if you have managed to get the list upside down.

there was a time when bn had the uncommon good sense to wait until the footman had posted his team (gender specific slip, there) and then replicate it in his team (oops, again) with one change. bn used to do quite well then.

foolish in the extreme to depart from a successful top 5 strategy

|Nice try messing with my head bn, but I know that you aint a woman.

Prove it.

I know. The problem is that the pros caught on to me and started posting their teams right on the deadline.

Anyway I have two wins this year I think. Without copy and paste.

Oh one is the French Open. One cricketing win and it was a significant one. I must have copied and pasted,

perhaps you change gender at the weekend?

I know I do!

Not sure why bn needs proof though!

Proof is always required!

In spite of Ed Cowan picking up a terrific 355 points in match 5, I'm going to award the FL player of the match to Sean Abbott for being.... well... brilliant! A magnificent 223 points

The Footman plummets from somewhere near the top to very nearly bottom, in one match. Thank goodness for bn, and cf90

Good FL this one, nobody in charge, everybody still in with a shout

I think the mid season break has come at a good time for me. A chance to get rid of the ODI players who have kept a lot of my FL team out of action this week

I don't believe it!

Maddinson let me down again. He's a one man wrecking crew for my chances. But Hopes is fighting him all the way. Holmes v Moriarty, good v evil, Hopes v Maddinson.
