County Championship Div 2 fantasy league 2016

or you could pick a player who has missed out on the first round of championship matches, CF

Like Monty!

This Duckett innings is the sort of thing which can finish a comp before it has even started.

I am sure that DFM is aware that my native tongue is very similar to English with a slight difference in that Ben Duckett is spelled Richard Levi.

I was so close to putting in Duckett as well. Not sure why I didn't.

I guess Kent will follow most visiting teams and bowl today in this now 2 day game.

Still no play at New Road, inspection at 12-30. Obviously not a ground that drains well, must be on a flood plain.

just noticed this.... Tom Curran is now a div 1 player CF. Please advise who you would like to replace him with from one of the div 2 teams who haven't played yet. (can't have Duckett ) Should be fairly easy since only Northants, Sussex, Gloucs and Essex have actually played so far, so you've got 5 teams to choose a new player from if you're quick

does this mean that I can replace Berg with someone who has not yet played as well?

[Durhamfootman]

going to be irrelevant, I think. I spotted this late, but CF hasn't been on for a week or more, so I'm not really expecting a response in time

I take your point though... it's not really my job to help people select their teams correctly

actually it was a serious question since we have quite often allowed changes as long as the replacement player has not yet played. Although I'm not sure that Middx, Yorks (with me having selected Brooks already and an injured Bresnan) and Lancs have too many great options to select from.

[Durhamfootman]

No, actually I think you were right the first time, Red. It should be the posters responsibility to submit their teams with due regard to their eligibility and injury status. Like last year when we were both undone by an injury to Tom Smith on the first day of the season, we just have to suck it up, I guess.

Besides.. be positive... Gareth Berg might come back in the second half of the season with fire in his belly and score a 1000 points. Having replaced Tim Bresnan, myself, I'm expecting him to put me to the sword later in the year. In the WT20FL, shanky tried to hedge his bets by selecting 2 players for the final place in his team, along the grounds of if this one doesn't play, pick that one.... as it happened his first choice didn't play, but he got stuck with him, and later in the tournament he was picked, took a shed load of wickets and ended up on the player leaderboard and got an IPL contract, so we just never know what the future will hold

Chance of wooden spoon

[Durhamfootman]

blimey, Adi.... it's a bit early to be worrying about wooden spoons
