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

England have been so awful.... even more awful than could have possibly been predicted even for them, that Lyon isn't going to bowl a single ball in the entire test match

thank goodness for his 31 runs.... which turned out to be better than 17 of the 20 England scores (and nearly as good as the other 3)

Wood would have scored more points than Stokes in this series despite playing a game less

He might even have scored more than Joe Root.... very close

I might have a go at adding those up tomorrow. Hell, I'm retired.

I'm currently having the name engraved on the trophy.

Somehow with Cummins, Lyon, Smith, Labu, Warner, Hazlewood and a 4-0 win to Australia, I'm not going to win this. Apparently Root and Stokes scored more than Labu and Warner.

Of course with all the subs, I didn't have Warner for the first game, and everyone had Labu for the critical second one...

The comp is odd sometimes.

Definitely tomorrow...

OK, I'm on it.

Scores from Hobart.

Green...189
Cummins...185
Carey...133

And these are the scores that matter from the final test.

BFL...326
Durham...323

Could there be a late twist?

Final scores on their way, subject to proof of fully vaccinated status.

The cup goes north again. Well done to Durham for yet another FL win. Won it at Brisbane and the big Boxing Day Test, basically by Lyon outshooting Labuschagne.

Mike...1849

Andy...2011
DD...2171
Arthur...2276
GJ...2279
Alfie...2293
BFL...2431

Twins...2533
Junior...2580
Red...2599
*Durham...2716*

That's to all for taking part. I'll keep my numbers for two days if there are any queries.

Always pick the opposition spinner in any FL involving the England team

thanks Arthur for organising this........... I'll add it to the honours board

I see you've invoked the spirit of David Cameron and instigated a bottom up, rather than top down reform of the leaderboard rankings

Levelling up the NE too.

Well played DFM, and thanks Arthur.

Thanks Arthur. (I thought I should have 347 for that Hobart Test but it wouldn't make any difference)

Congrats to The Footman for a fine win : very smart selection

I'll have a look.
