Kiwis, schmiwis!

I was editing from memory (no access to BT right now), and managed to put Langford-Smith in for Brown rather than Bond.

Knowing my luck, Dougie Brown will come from nowhere to storm the tournament, singlehandedly taking Scotland to the semi-finals...while Bond breaks down after 3.2 overs and never bowls again.

Ha! I spotted that too.

Only on 1389 now though, having rather foolishly opted for Dravid rather than Ganguly.

Scaly piscine · 20-03-2007, 05:52 AM

Up to 1465, dropped slightly in the leaderboard. I only had two players playing yesterday tho - Gayle and Yuvraj. I bet a lot of people will have had 3/4.

Not too shabby.

Ha ha im rubbish at these type of games.

Mahindinho · 21-03-2007, 07:41 PM

Bloody hell, Scaly -- what are the chances of this, given that we've got different teams. I think, anyway.

Code:

368. Scaly Piscine CC      1759
369. Withington Wonderers  1759

dontcloseyoureyes · 23-03-2007, 02:36 AM

Code:

516. Central Districts  	1932

Anyone higher than that? I can't see anyone, though I didn't look too hard.

Dead Badger · 23-03-2007, 04:55 AM

Anyone lower than this?

1910. Beard XI 1502

My march to the bottom continues apace, with Naved being completely rubbish then getting dropped, Ntini and Bond both being flipping rested, and Dravid also being pretty bobbins. At this stage only Sangakkara has really come through for me. Well, and Ponting, but everyone and their dog has him.
