County Fantasy Manager 2015

[hopeforthebest]

not much point picking a team these days - with injuries and absences which I don't understand (like Rehman) I can barely get 11 players playing, but anyway ...

Dilshan (Derby)
Ambrose (Warwks)
O'Brien (Leics)
Andrew (Worcs) - probably still injured
Shahzad (Sussex) - probably still injured
Smith (Lancs) - probably still injured
Hastings (Durham)
Wagg (Glam)
Shantry (Worcs)
McKay (Leics)
Rankin (Warwks)

L Wood (Notts)
Rehman (Somerset) - probably still not playing
Buck (Lancs) - probably still not playing
Fletcher (Surrey / Notts) - probably still not playing
Porter (Essex)
Critchley (Derby)
Taylor (Leics)
Pinner (Leics) - probably still not playing
Durston (Derby) - probably still not playing
MacLeod (Durham)
any others in cost order

no sign of Dilshan or McKay - or even Critchley for that matter. Andrew still injured, pretty sure I'll be scraping the barrel to try and get XI playing

and it looks like Brendan Taylor just got a big hundred for the oppo

What are you moaning about red, Porter, Rankin and Rehman have already 8 wickets.

Lewis Gregory not playing is a bit of a surprise

[Durhamfootman]

dreadful start for me. Many of my players can't get off the mark, which in a match where no bloody wickets are falling, means that Ian is now something like 150 runs ahead

[Durhamfootman]

Poor day. My side just can't get going. Too many batsmen are getting out for nought. I have bowlers who are not going to get a second innings to bowl in because they are going to end up following on and losing. I may have lost a few players to England or are in teams that aren't playing, but I've put out a pretty decent side. Ian, on the other hand has got a very much second string side out, but he's giving me a bit of a kicking thus far. Notts are so far ahead in their game, that Fat Sam will be throwing the bat for a few quick runs, and then not having to bowl. I need Hogan, Coughlin, Raine and Ryder to pull me some serious wickets out of the bag tomorrow, or my 100% win record will be gone, which would be a shame because I fancied myself to win this top of the table clash, when I saw the teams line up.

Long way to go yet DFM!

Teamsheets for Matchweek 9:

[Red Devil]

Bhavesh is racking up the runs - whereas I don't have anyone scoring any runs - I'm going to need an avalanche of wickets to get close but unfortunately for me it looks like Leach, Thomas and Napier have probably already taken too many wickets for me to close that gap

ian can you explain why you put up the team sheet each week with sussexpob's team always missing?

Something to do with how the CMS table application works I guess

Will put up in 2 halves henceforth.

FFS!

Just noticed Wayne Madsen's 2nd innings knock whilst totting up the scores for the div 2 FL. I'd completely forgotten he was in my team.

That helps things.

[Durhamfootman]

An excellent day for the wobblers. Firmly in charge now.

Wagg scores 200

and Hastings got 90 odd too

must give me a pretty good chance

[Durhamfootman]

looks like a thumping win for the wobblers. Got a cushion at the top now.
