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

Oh blimey, this one has snuck up on me from nowhere. I had assumed that with the county championship matches going on that the Dribble didn't start until next weekend..... how wrong I was

8 teams... thanks chaps, I was completely off the ball there

apart from the matches today the comp doesn't really get going until Wednesday, so I'm happy to keep it open until then, but obviously anyone playing in these 2 matches wouldn't score for their first match

I'm also happy for people to change their teams between now and Wednesday, but with the same proviso as above

nobody apart from me has picked Gleeson, which is worrying me a bit

he had a busted hand back in Feb playing abroad

hey ho, that was 3 months ago so he might be back soon. Lancs website mentions him continuing his recovery

Damn! I missed this.
