Injury and news update is good on the homepage of the fantasy cricket isn't it?:clap:
having a good week so far, i should move up the table
Can't make transfers until Monday. Just seen that I've got 3 players out injured at the moment :brickwall
Roll on Monday :oh-hum:

As there is no table yet, you could do quite well
i think i got roughly another 800 points fom those county matches.
My captain is a donkey though!
Swindon61
24-05-2003, 23:30
1047 for me in one team i think.
Ragnar brought up a good point to me, in that will kirtley's points count as he was a sub for sussex.
If they don't then i have 951ish.
i don't feel so great now
One of my one day teams would have scored around 1300 points in the test and county league, unfortunatly its one day team :mad:
Painkiller
25-05-2003, 11:58
A dismal 700 points for me in the Championship matches. Flipping Alec Stewart as skipper, 4x points but gets no catched in 20 wickets.
i wouldn't consider 700 dismal. Should I?
I wish i had only entered one team. A county and 1day team is hard to remember who is in each one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No it is definatly not dismal, just everything fell into place for me this week, but my captain only scored a whopping 16 points:gag:
Next week will be a low score for me probaly.
Chose McGrath has captain so should have scored a few with him
Hick has just clocked up a century for me and is still going. :clap:

Not a good day for my one day team, with 13 players out of my three teams not playing include all three captains.
On the upside I scored more than 2 points.

25-05-2003, 21:04
The one day matches were a bit odd. Only 5 players played, one got minus 5 but overall I got 228.

26-05-2003, 11:22
The one-day league will change big time each week i feel, with the scoreing system they have in place, which is good.

Anyone know why Koenig never plays in the one-day games? :confused: :confused:
Probably the same reason why Mark Butcher doesn't for Surrey.
morleyian
27-05-2003, 19:41
Which is? ;) (not much of a one player?)
It's well known that Koenig doesn't play in one day games, started towards the end of last season and continued this season.
Anyone made any transfers on Monday?
morleyian
27-05-2003, 21:45
Out goes "jug-ears". In comes "Mushy" of the Ahmed variety :thumbs:
Originally posted by morleyian

Yup, although I see in the papers this morning they are saying that Butcher might have a chance of getting into England's one day squad for the tri-nation series coming up, but thats a debate for a different time.
Anyone got Chris Read, the Nottinghamshire wicket-keeper, he is out for three weeks with a broken thumb. Story here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/counties/nottinghamshire/2940388.stm) .
The C&G trophy tomorrow, hopefully Ronnie Irani will be back for Essex, although my scouts down at Chelmsford say his injury could be alot worse than already published.

Oh and now updated to include Paul Nixon for Chris Read

Oh no. Another transfer already. This is a nightmare.
Am I right in thinking if I make a transfer tonight it won't become affective until next Tuesday?
morleyian
28-05-2003, 19:05
Correct. Deadline is midnight Monday for the following week's games :(

30-05-2003, 00:21
I was suprised with that, i thought i might be a 1000ish or somethin.
I guess some had mark butcher as captain, wish i did, i have micheal vaughn as captain:nono: , untill next week when mr.stewart becomes captain like he should have been in the 1st place.
I am more impressed with my 2nd team as that has no test players :p
Just wish they printed a super league postion as i think ours would have been healthy to say the least.
Swindon61
30-05-2003, 10:04
Irani not in essex team today.
I will give it some serious thought about whether to take him out or not over the weekend.
But you know what happens when you take a player out:p
Not looking good for him though.
I scored the most points in the one day league this week. Kind of makes up for being last in the county version and obviously for scoring 0 in the 1 day the week before. :brickwall
EDIT: Just found out the password is GROUND.
yeah, i think our superleague would be well positioned
Anyone one with Dakin or Brant from essex had a good day today.
Essex bowled out Nottinghamshire for 79 and if not for a last wicket stand it could have been alot less.
And today its 20 years to the day when essex bowled Surry out forr 14.

Notts were 8-7 and 19-9, amazing scorecard really for the entire day - 23 wickets and 321 runs. If we can get to 200 then I can't see us losing.

To all those with Martin Bicknell (not me): bowled only 3 overs (if i recall correctly) in the first innings and hasn't opened the bowling in the 2nd. Cause for concern? Maybe :suspect:
not many points for me this weekend, the hightlight being a century from ian Ward.

I looked up and down your table several times and couldn't see my team. I even looked at the other table to make sure there were the same amount of teams. Then I saw it. TOP.
First time ever (probably last too as i am going to have to make more replacements today following another batch of injuries).
anyone got hussey? 230 not out
i wish i had went for the same team for each league.
my one-day players are doing well for their counties and vice versa

I have pieterson and a couple of 5 wocket hauls but i need Ealham to do something if i am to stay in contention
Gloucestershire must hate the sight of Hussey because last year in this match against them he hit 310 not out.
Was reading an article about Pieterson yesterday in another 2 years he qualifies to play for England.
Got to say i must have checked teletext for the county updates about every 15 mins over the last 3 days :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

I have just go back from seeing him hit a brilliant 125 off 109 balls against Essex. He followed it up with 5 wickets. He must be quite close to an England place on that performance.

My god. My bowlers have taken a hammering in this 20/20 cup. Most of them going for way over 7 an over losing 20 points each.
Also got to sack my captian, Sehwag. Has he ever held a bat before. Talk about hopeless. 1 run in his last three innings.
i think they should have awarded points for maiden overs for bowlers in the 20/20 cup. they are like golddust

Yep my bowlers haven't faire too well either but then I don't think many have.
I got rid of Sehwag from my 1 day team on Monday as he has let me down big time.:(
Sehwag is a class player who is obviously taking time getting used to English conditions.

Yes, but three weeks of Harvery = points bonanza.

Made a big mistake this week in my chase for the top.
I thought as england had two games this week i would bring in vikram solanki for craig spearman.
Not quite worked out has it.
So far this week c.spearman 198
v.solanki 10
So unless vikram solanki can score a 70+ against the south african's later today (if selected of course) then it has totally backfired :p
But i am sure we all have tales of woe don't we:brickwall

And look what happens when you drop a player from your T&C team and keep him in your 1-day side.
He goes and scores a double hundred ie. Wood from Yorkshire
Doh!

Very annoying :mad:
I have been 94th in the one day league, raganar has been 60th.
Mr withers 78th currently in the T&C.
Also our super league postion would be good as well i feel, if they could be bothered to do them as well!:mad:

Is he in your 1-day team also? ;) A wonderful display of stroke-making by Butch with a ton leading to a convincing Surrey victory against Yorkshire :thumbs: I however have Wood who was out with the first ball of the match :brickwall

07-07-2003, 17:12
No he just in my T&C side.
My one day side is doing very nicely, so i won't change that untill the 20-20 probally ;)
So glad it is two different competitions, as i think if it was one side like last year, it would be a nightmare:help:

The way he is playing you might close the gap further this week.
Trescothick has been mine since the one-dayers started.
He needs to do something this weekend, he is due too;)
But andy flintoff is the man of the moment :clap:
slipped down a bit in the national T&C. still in the top 100 although having a terrible week so far
15 wickets for Sami. I was going to put hm in last week but oped for kasprovicz. bad choice it would seem :rolleyes:

12-07-2003, 00:29
Fair to middling week i think, ramprakesh and captain harvey will certainly have helped :)
Swindon61
12-07-2003, 00:32
Sami would be a good choice , but my bowlers between them seem to be taking wkts.
Not 15 in one go mind :eek: not yet;)

I may have a good lead at the moment, but it still open i feel with this scoring format.
Especially if mr.spiller has the aforementioned mr. flintoff as captain.
Top 5 teams still in the hunt, it is only just over half-way gone in the season.

Don't know what padder means :confused:
But i think i know where you are coming from:)
1st 3 weeks with my leading team, i had scored just 781:
All mr.richardson in 5th place has to do is gain about 104-105 a week for the last 11 weeks and he has beat me, gaining 100-150 points a week in the regular season is not beyond the realms of possiabilty.
Anyway how things in uni going?

If only I had submitted a team in time for points in the first week. :brickwall :brickwall

I remember you saying that:
You had a swift half the night before if i understand right :nono: (never again ;) )
The 20-20 next will have a big impact on things:p
How many points did you lose because of that 1st week?

Just exactly how many international players did you transfer in, :confused:
I know who 3 of them are,including your captain, & they got about 180 on tuesday, so I'd love to know who you've got that picked up another 360pts. :confused:

Darren gough 90 pts transfered in week 6 for D. Pretorious.
anthony mcgrath 50 pts in week 6 for simon kaitch.
Freddie 204 pts transfered in for robert croft week7 (should have done that one week earlier), he is captain of my 2nd team.
The 3 you know:
Marcus Trescothick in for Graham hick in week 5, straight in as captain.
James Anderson in for Nixon Mclean week 5.
Vikram Solanki in for craig spearman in weeek 7.
So all in all, some good transfers made, as they were not playing or in poor form.
The only one that i would like to take back was Anthony Mcgrath.
Still 5 transfers left, have to use them wisely and more importantly hope i have some luck with injuries.
Like i said it might not be over.
I knew you had Freddie, but you kept very quite about Anderson & Gough.:nono:
So 5 transfers left, with 4 - 6 players who won't be involved in a 1 day game for the rest of the season.:confused:
That's not like you to take such a big gamble like that,
I hope you don't get too many injuries.;)

13-07-2003, 12:14
Andy flower joins the "duck" club for this week as well :)
In good company with trescothick and kallis.
And now mark butcher too :-> , some big names not scoring,
Better have a look and see if hussey is off the mark in my 2nd team.

13-07-2003, 14:27
It always does :)
Nothing major though,it's only one player after all, loseing just -10.
Just saying the top batters were struggling, did not know whether you had him or not (guess i do now:) ), i know he has been mentioned at work in a couple of the many dicussions :->.
You would have got some good odds on:
tescothick,kallis,flower and butcher all scoreing 0 this weekend.

nasser hussian seems to be showing some good form of late don't he - 144 not out.

Yeah, until he returns to England duty, where he will either struggle to reach double figures, or break a finger & spend the rest of the series on the sidelines.:rolleyes:

It is about time he has got back to form, and this was in a one day match too. He was unbeaten on 144 off just 138 balls although Essex still lost :(
I have always believed that he is a good one day batsman it is just that unlike a lot of other batters he take a long time to get under way but when and if he does he can score quite freely.
Swindon61
13-07-2003, 21:55
Should Darren Gough be chosen for the test side?
My feeling is no.
Even though he is playing well, i would like to keep the current bowling attack together.
Added to that it is not proved he is test match fit yet.
I agree, I would like to see Gough get through some four day county games for Yorkshire first before he is even considered for the test side. If he can prove his fitness then I would have him in the squad and depending on the conditions of the pitch then perhaps in the squad.
Swindon61
13-07-2003, 22:43
Also not forgeting hoggard, jones and ali knocking on the door.
A lot younger team, let them play together for years to come (providing they are doing the job), it can only be good.
Fair point, but during this one day series from what I have seen Gough has been bowling pretty well, it would be a shame to discard him completely because I still feel that he has got plenty more to offer the team plus he would be great motivator for the younger team members.
Swindon61
13-07-2003, 23:09
Likewise Alan, fairpoint about being able to motivate the team and he would be the one experinced head there.
But it seems to be going well at the moment, keep a winning side together and all that.
At the moment it seems if one of the bowlers don't take wkts the others will, a bit like the aussies, if mcgrath don't take any wkts you can take it for granted lee,dizzy and warne will (would in warne's case) and vice-versa.
Swindon61
13-07-2003, 23:12
Another question Alan as you are an essex fan.
Do you think england's relative one-day success was the fruits of nasser hussian's work or is it down to micheal vaughn and his different approach?
Micheal Vaughn seems more light hearted on the outside.
Thats a tough question. There is no doubt that Vaughan is a different character than Hussian and I have no doubt that the players would want to impress the new captain and secure a permanent place in the team. Having said that it was in Nasser team that the likes of Anderson were given a chance so to answer your question it was probably a bit of both.
One final point is not to get carried away after our two tournament victories this summer, the acid test would be if we come up against the likes of India and Australia. Things are ticking along nicely at the moment so lets hope they continue this way.

:D There's hope for me yet to catch up (let's hope for numerous injuries for your side :p )
EDIT: Also 1 T&C Middlesex change, Koenig out with the in-form captain Strauss taking his place.

No doubt i will have a lot of injuries as nothing the fanasty cricket and football goes 100% right:nuts:
Like you have someone that scores a hat-trick and you think great, then look at the results and find you have had two players sent off and/or the team with three same club defenders lose 7-0:D

Is Ed Smith on his way to another century?! :eek:
Shame I don't have him this year :(
The Lancashire / Kent county match is live on Sky Sports 2 for the next few days.
Ed Smith has looked good in this match from what I have seen.
morleyian
15-07-2003, 13:29
He's done it again, unbelievable :notworthy (something like 4 centuries in just over a week I think)
Mushy is destroying the Leicestershire batting line-up :clap: (it's not gonna save him the chop as captain after this week though :wave: )
He is the leading run scorer in first class cricket this season with 957 runs, so if he can make a double hundred today then he will become the first batsman to a thousand runs for the season.
So in preperation for the 20/20 Semis and Final on Saturday - who has players involved in this?
I have a player from each of the 4 teams just to cover my options.
One of them is my captain also so potential points x4.
morleyian
16-07-2003, 12:52
5 players (4 teams), 1 as captain also (transferred in this week and it doesn't take a genius to work out who it could be :suspect: )
EDIT: Whoops, have 1 more than I originally thought. Got Worcs confused with Warks :gag: 5 players in finals although I do have 1 bowler in Smith (GLO). What is promising though is that he has the 3rd best E.R. in the competition this year:
http://www.cricket.org/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2003/ENG_LOCAL/TWENTY-20/STATS/ENG_LOCAL_TWENTY-20_AVS_BOWL_BEST_ECON.html
And considering he's bowled the max number of overs he can, this is a relief for me knowing that he most likely will avoid a multitude of negative points in the forthcoming week :thumbs:
I'm no genius and I also don't really have a handle on who's in form etc apart from having a fleeting glance at the points in the onsite shop on a Friday so who you got? :suspect:
I have AM Smith also along with DR Brown of War, Hodge of Lei who is my Captain and Thorpe of Surrey. It doesn't really matter if we say who we have got as no one can make transfers in time for Saturday now.
EDIT: Ealham has just gone on 95 and I have him in my County side. :brickwall
morleyian
16-07-2003, 14:29
Fair enough. I have:
Hodge (LEI)
Bell (WAR)
Mahmood (SUR)
Harvey (GLO) (C)
Smith (GLO)
Here's my chance of narrowing the lead Swindon has at the top.
