Congrats Mr McBurney! Two teams in the top three is pretty impressive. If you're reading, were the teams very different, or was there just a variation or two?

I was joint 33rd, if there had been a full compliment of ODIs for England v Zimbabwe I'd have probably gone up a few more places (I was about 120th before the series).

Not a flashy performance by the second runner-up of T&N Trophy III, but what the heck - we atleast beat Master Aldex's XI, that propagated to inflict one upon us.

I can't retrieve the teams now but they both had about four Zimbabwe players for the whole competition and they both ended up with a full complement of England and Zimbabwe players which meant they rocketed up the leaderboard from the 60s to 1 and 3.

The teams had about seven differences but the winning team had Bell, Vaughan, Matsikinyeri, Wharf, Gough etc. 3rd placed team had Jones and jumped from 8 to 3rd in the final game.

My strategy assumed England and Zimbabwe would play five ODIs so I was lucky to get over the line when they reduced it to four.
