that'd be nice

Edwards didn't bother to have a bat today

perhaps, now that she's mostly retired, she was feeling a bit tired

injured after a collision on the pitch, it would appear.

I wonder where Lanning is, for the Stars?

my other picks seem to have done okay.... some have been excellent

mine have done ok as well I think - quite alot of overlap in the teams as well

after a low scoring start last weekend, the women have raised their games this week and started posting scores that are not hugely dissimilar to the mens comp. If they keep going like this, it may not be necessary to have different scoring rules..... or at least perhaps think about moving the scoring a little closer to the mens.

Early days, of course

Standings after Round 1

A high scoring round overall, but Red Devil with the early lead

Red Devil = 784
Durham Footman = 736
Alviro Patterson = 686
Mikesiva = 531
Arthur Crabtree = 502
