grecian benefits from a firing Somerset batting lineup and a five-for from Jack Brooks. Cabinet doing well to get nine points considering that neither Warks nor Hants played this week. Woodster probably had the worst round, with Bopara and Monty carrying drinks in Colombo. Remember that players from the latter three draft rounds did not earn points here.

[Athlai]

Who picked Martin Guptill?!?

 

[Woodster]

Will take Essex's Greg Smith as my final pick and an XI that looks like this -

1. Moore
2. Joyce
3. Goodwin
4. Bopara
5. Maynard
6. Smith G
7. Mustard (wk)
8. Masters
9. Shreck
10. Onions
11. Panesar

Very pleased with that XI despite a poor opening round backing the quality in this side to improve results as the season progresses. Gone for a pretty experienced side, proven performers, with perhaps only Tom Maynard as a particularly bright young thing.

Viscount Tom takes the lead thanks to Collymore and Murtagh overturning Surrey, along with a good week for Andre Adams and a ton from Compton. Surrey's impressive choke ruins Furball's figures, Cabinet is still paying for the absence of Bell, McKenzie and Woakes, and grecian is kept towards the top by leading points-scorer Jack Brooks.

 

[Cabinet96]

Rankin out as well. So dire.

 

[grecian]

Boo, I was planning on staying on top for the entire season

 

[weeman27bob]

Fairly middling start there. Not too shabby.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bit cheeky (and if it involves too much work tell me to eff off) but I'd be curious to see who's scored what for me.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bit cheeky (and if it involves too much work tell me to eff off) but I'd be curious to see who's scored what for me.

Eh, I'm in a good mood.

Robson - 8
Nash - 1
Key - 7
de Bruyn - 9
Collingwood - 0
Stevens - 9
Keiswetter - 7
Blackwell - 3
Clarke - 5
Harmison - 0
Kirby - 5

The players are sorted by county, not by player, (so as to make it easier to input the scorecards) so I'm not doing this all the time, ftr.

 

[weeman27bob]

It'd be interesting to see if at the end, the counties which rack up the most points are those who look like winning the Championship.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well that's neither here nor there because I'm not recording the points scored by players that haven't been drafted. So the county that'll get the most points will probably be Surrey, because that's the county with the most drafted players (11), and the county with the least will be one of the handful of 2nd division sides with only 2 or 3 drafted players each.
