Jonny i think you made a typo you said 3 ENG players and Barnes would equal 5 ::saint:

 

[iamdavid]

cheers

 

[gratefulcardina]

Oops! Sorry for stuff-up! I'll take Michael Holding

if that's okay. Funny, before my dumb move I looked for the link to the rules and couldn't find it quickly.

He's my second West Indian -

Apologies,

Brian/gratefuls

By the way AM Barnes is already picked:P

[JohnnyA]

The Barnes pick is OK ... because Grateful Cardinals already had 4 Englishmen when he selected Barnes, so he re-picked with Michael Holding.

NeilPickup next Up

Then Mr MX

 

[marc71178]

Are the squad lists up to date?

It's a bit more important now with so many gone, and so few rounds to make sure all countries are represented.

thats up to the end of round 7 and my round 8 - some people have more countries than others to pick still

 

[JohnnyA]

Thanks age-master ... great job. As for the ZIm player that was selected. The rules stae that it's one player from every country exept Zim or Bang. That still holds. All the other countries must be represented.

Marc ... web page is up to date until end of round 7. Gibbs was auto picked ... he selected Neil Harvey. I'll get the stats updated ASAP .. I''m really busy with work at the minute, and i'm trying to get the web page built for the real-time fantasy league I'll be starting after this ... with only contemporary players and real-time (not retrospective) stats.

So far I have 5 or 6 members signed up. I'm looking for 2 or 3 (max) more. If you're interested, then let me know. I only want committed knowledgable cricket fans, because we'll be drafting deepish reserves in addition to the 11 active roster slots and ALSO prospect lists. It'll be a permanent rolling league that takes account of all 1-day and test match stats.

*TO ANYONE: I'm not gonna put in the effort of updating the stats etc for anyone who will not take it seriously. So please don't ask to join if it's just for a bit of fun ... it's quite time comsuming doing the research ... but I guess that's half the fun of cricket. It's basically a stas game.

So far:

JohnnyA
Grateful Cards
Age Master
IamDavid (I think)
and Slats and/or MisterWright ... I can't remember ... let me know pls

*I'd be nice to get at least one more "English" player to add some spice to the competition. These competitive fantasy league were you play against of people are much better when there's a bit of blood in the air

P.S. I updated my stats for round 7, no-one elses ... that's why the overall rankings etc seems a little skewed ... sorry.
