Probably a question of whether

Alfie- Stokes/Cummins/Broad

can hold off

Red- Starc/Cummins/Labuschagne

and

Junior- Labuschagne/Starc/Moeen

given all three have

Smith and Root

Hmm. I hear the footsteps of a charging Starc-powered Red pair at my heels ...

Think I might need a Stokes Innings to save this

Marnus refusing to contribute anything probably means you are safe so not much to worry about I think

Mo's a bit of a deadweight at the moment.

Mo has still got a 4th innings 5fer in him

I'll do this tomorrow. But I think Starc has scored best out of the key players. But will it be enough to sink Alfie?

Bugger it. I'll do it now. Put off going on my exercise bike for a bit.

There are only 16 left standing.

Smith...185
Starc...183
Bairstow...162

Root...148
Khawaja...139
Moeen...127
Broad...113
Wood...105
Brook...104

Cummins...99
Duckett...93
Carey...88
Stokes...85
Head...67

Anderson...54
Labuschagne...22

And these are the fallen.
Green
Lyon
Boland
Robinson

Scores over 200 in the series (from players selected).

Root...249 at Edgbaston.
Duckett...241 at Lord's.
Khawaja...236 at Edgbaston.
Stokes...236 at Lord's.
Wood...222 at Headingley.
Smith...204 at Lord's.

Diligent has a four man team, which I think is unique in this FL.

Here are the scores from the moral deciding final Test at the Oval.


'pele...666
Junior...665

Red...637
Alfie...630
Sussex...629
Durham...610

Twins...585
Diligent...583

Arthur...539
Mike...525
Andy...523
'fluffy...508

GJ...477

And here are the final scores in exciting reverse order. In what we are calling the most thrilling FL since 2005.


Mike...2263

'fluffy...2383

Diligent...2490
GJ...2490

Andy...2548

Durham...2668

Arthur...2701
'pele...2705
Twins...2729

Sussex...2815

Red...2930
Junior...2947
Alfie...2956

Close enough for a recount?

Played Alfie...

Commiserations to Mike on the wooden spoon.

Previous winner Durhamfootman gets to take his pick from the box of Celebrations. Prize has been scaled down due to shrinkflation.

And Alfie will keep the commemorative FL 'urn' until we meet again down under in two year's time. Though the 'urn' never actually leaves my pool room.

Nine points in it. The difference between a Jonny Bairstow blinder or another fumble.

And that gentlemen is the difference between winning and nowhere.

So goodnight. Don't forget to take all your waste home with you.

Well 2956 is definitely more than 2947.
