Early days, but most people have Root as their joker.

Not sure how many runs Lyon will score tbh ...
At least Stokes as my double points pick looks like a decent shout at the moment

I'll do this today, even if it means not painting the spare room. Completely slipped my mind.
Everyone has Starc. But not so many picked Head.

Paint the spare room, I am sure everyone can wait
Unless of course this is your excuse to yourself not to do it

Red aided somewhat by Cummins not playing, so fielding Starc as first reserve.
Scores after first Test.
bfl...833
Mike...802
Andy...683
Red...633
ginger...618
Junior...576
Twins...560
GJ...527
Prof...621
Arthur...572
Alfie...455
Sussex...396
Durham...273
A risk picking a bowler as a starred player as they may get injured or rotated. But paying off so far.
