Mike holds his nerve

unlike England

but then, also unlike England, he's played this game before

[backfootpunch]

I'd say my chances hinge on India getting to the final and new Zealand losing the semi

Because of my late entry and therefore no kiwi players. Not being able to pick babar or williamson though has been a good thing as it stands

The Australia vs south africa game being abandoned didn't help as that's 5 of my players missing a game

[Durhamfootman]

oh dear

no play again

Arthur goes bottom

England go home

[Arthur Crabtree]

A bit surprised I'm foot of the table. I think all my players are into the semis though. So I'm looking for a top 13 finish.

Hmm. Not sure about this leading on the first lap business... sometimes I think I am the designated pacemaker for DFM and the Red Brigade

Will take that for a start though since Williamson and Mitchell did nothing much.

It seems I was the pace maker for backfootpunch and Andy.

England go home

Did they ever really arrive?

I have no new Zealand players so will be hard to win

My first effort in about 10 years so it would be a bit rude to win

Andy does have 6 England players though for some reason, I'm guessing he had a few pints of Guinness when picking his team and as always with these things anyone within 300 odd points is very much still in the game
