Jeetan Patel took 3 for 32 today,but TFC scoring of my teams does not recognise him playing.
Anyone else got the same problem?

Jeetan Patel took 3 for 32 today,but TFC scoring of my teams does not recognise him playing.
Anyone else got the same problem?

Well spotted El Tel - his points have been omitted for some strange reason.

I looked at his points scored from the previous division 1 game (totted them up) and they totaled 194, then I checked my stats for him for the week and it was 194.

ie: 45 runs = 45 points
1 catch = 10
3 + 4 wickets = 175
runs conceded 58 + 126 = -11 + -25 (-36).

Yesterday, he added:

5 runs = 5 points
1 catch = 10
3/32 = 69 or 84 points in total. All together he scored 278 points for the week (not the 194 as stated).

Hopefully, TFC will rectify this scoring error by adding 84 points to the total for those teams holding him!

Tannoy announcement at the station this morning that the met office have severe weather warnings in place for later today.

Surrey
Ravi Rampaul is back from the Caribbean and is included in today's Surrey squad.

Gareth Batty (capt),Zafar Ansari,James Burke,Rory Burns,Sam Curran,Tom Curran,Steven Davies,Jade Dernbach,Ben Foakes,Mark Footitt,Stuart Meaker,Ravi Rampaul,Jason Roy,Kumar Sangakkara,Dominic Sibley

Northants
Levi and Cobb face late fitness tests for Northants. It's a game to early for Prassana, who will be available from Saturday if Sri Lanka don't include him in their ODI squad.

Yorkshire
Bairstow, Willey, Balance, Rashid, Root, and Plunkett have been added to Yorkshire's squad. Travis headed home.

Jonny Bairstow (Wicket Keeper), Gary Ballance, Tim Bresnan, Andrew Hodd (Wicket Keeper), Jack Leaning, Alex Lees (Captain), Adam Lyth, Steve Patterson, Liam Plunkett, Azeem Rafiq, Adil Rashid, Will Rhodes, Joe Root, Matthew Waite, David Willey.

Kent
Billings is available for Kent, and It's Steven's 500th game if he plays. Stevens reminds me of a youthful version of myself. A genuine all rounder who can score a quick ton here and there and pop up with a 5fer every now and then. Except that I was a specialist batting number 11, couldn't score a quick ton here and there, nor pop up with a 5fer every now and then.

7 Sam Northeast (c), 23 Daniel Bell-Drummond, 6 Joe Denly, 20 Sam Billings (w), 3 Darren Stevens, 58 Sean Dickson, 10 Alex Blake, 42 Will Gidman, 15 James Tredwell, 26 Matt Coles, 8 Mitch Claydon, 22 Charlie Hartley.

Not me. I went with Jofra Archer. He autographed my phone as I tried to catch a Pokmeon.

[blahblah]

What's a Pokmeon?

[hazzab]

And how on earth do you autograph a phone?

I miss the days of doing TFC transfers by post - or was it carrier pigeon? - and having to call a premium-rate number to get your TFC scores - or were those premium-rate numbers for an entirely different service altogether - something the likes of Jim Allenby offered, perhaps? My memory is not what it used to be...

[hazzab]

(Sozzles. Forgot to include cricket news.)

Joyce, Stirling, Murtagh, Wilson and Niall O'Brien have been left out of Ireland's squad to play Hong Kong in September.

Facto.
