Leicestershire Foxes in.

Can we get some updated squads?

We've still got Tendulkar and Hayden listed, as well as Hogg, Kasper and Gillespie - and no Bracken, Tait or Hopes (or Inzy)...

 

[James]

Apologies, some one from the FC team will get on it within the next 24/48 hours.

Done

 

[Slow Love™]

Thanks, James.

I'm entering now, but some of the categories look a bit harsh, you have to pick 2 openers from 3 even if you'd normally have Gilchrist as your opener, you can only pick one all rounder despite there being 7 selections to choose from including Michael Clarke and Jacques Kallis, Shaun Pollock.

Just added my team. Was a bit hard deciding on my all-rounder, but I eventually just went for Freddie. Am hoping Hopes gets a run, he's in on a complete gamble.

Hayden is still there as an opener ...

 

[Simon]

out of the 3 openers u can pick, only Sehwag is playing tomorrow, thats a bit silly, katich should be made an opener...

 

[James]

Hayden, am sorting out and will post up a news item in the Fantasy Cricket once I'm finished. Apologies for the mistake, when you try and do so much some things unfortunately are missed. I hope to get an extra person on board the CW Team to assist with FC and various other things shortly as its becoming very difficult for me to cope with everything.

As the competition was added a few weeks ago most people have added Katich as a batsman so will pick up points there.

 

[Blaze]

Team sent in. Quite confident.

In the event of a tie a random choice will be made on who the top three managers are.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not wishing to whinge, but I'm just in the process of adding my team & the only two openers available are Sehwag (no probs there) & Gayle (not actually playing). Is there any chance of this being sorted as I'm loathe to pick someone who isn't actually playing.

Thanks.

 

[Slow Love™]

Yeah, and no Aussie openers.

<--- in the same boat.

I would make a suggestion - if there are ties, would it be fairer to judge in favor of those who created their teams first, if these records are kept? (I realise this won't help me much as I'm putting my team in quite late, but it would reward those who gambled more).

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ah, well. I've added my team with Gayle included so as not to miss the deadline.

 

[Slow Love™]

Yep. picked mine too. Would have liked to have had Katich in that spot if he could have had his category adjusted, but not to be (I picked him in the middle order anyway, but it would have freed up some valuable points to spend elsewhere)...

Oh, well. Will need some luck.

 

[James]

Good suggestion Slow-Love - we'll run with that

Regarding the opener positions, Katich and Gilchrist will be the openers right? Well, Gilchrist is the wicket-keeper so shows in the wicket-keeper drop down menu while Simon Katich wasn't talked about opening until just a few days ago while this competition was created a couple of weeks ago so its proved difficult.

You'll still pick up points for Katich whether he plays as an opener or a middle order batsman in the game today however.
