comments:
-Nnanden, back on top, gets max 5 points and first place all alone

-cbuts, total collapse? cbuts got no points, and went to sharing first place, to sharing 7th.

-AllOut! moving up! i am still only 3 points off of first, currently tied for that coveted 4th place.

-the ship seems to have left Djelletts and Steds, as they drift even further from the rest of the pact.

-watch out, Neil seems to be picking it up, being the only other player to get max points today

-the next game has is the most diverse in picks to date meaning after tomorrows game, the top three could be pulling away, or there could be a major shake-up at the top.

-full table at www.bigcricket.com as well a week old column!

-Nnanden, is neil sneeking up on you?

-Neil-Super-Pickup!, neil blasts from 4th, to first all alone.

-Neil, along with Fjord, were the only ones who had the West Indies winning.

-one game left of the first round, 4 in total, will neil be able to hold on?

-no surprise- Djellett,steds, thanks for playing! Djellett is elminitated already b/c he has the same picks as buts for the Ind-Pak game.

-Fjord is tied for the most game points, but last in bonus picks

-with the India Pakistan game currently playing, look for the round one final update in a few hours

 

[steds]

-no surprise- Djellett,steds, thanks for playing!.
