my picks on the way Spencer

[forestfan]

Do all the other matches (without line-ups published) have a no-show?

I PM'ed Spencer, in case you were wondering about your opponent

I PM'ed Spencer, in case you were wondering about your opponent

or perhaps my message never sent, and you may well therefore be 1-0 up already. Or 5-0, depending on what happens next.

Have sent entry for the final 4 games so you are going to win today. Hardly ever PM on here and got fooled by the process

Afraid so, though Raoul has posted some. I'll have a look later and post new opponents if it fits.

I sent mine - did they not get through?

[tyaslevesley]

did you get mine Spencer?

[Arabian Knight]

I sent mine last night too!

[Spencer4]

We have the usual no-show in League A, Blah, due to play SamD.

In B, Sibrown4 (due to play hancockjr) failed to enter, so as it matters little, I'll line up hancockjr and SamD.

Two others not to appear are Sport Billy (due to play Arabian Knight) and Wizardoffire (due to play tyaslevesley), so I'm going to replay the classic Arabian Knight v tyaslevesley fixture which tyaslevesley won 4-0 !

All no-shows will get 5-0 losses. Can't be messing around at this stage.

I guess you’ve cancelled my fixture against Hancock due to missing the deadline?

Yes to be honest I've given everyone enough time and turning up 20 minutes after I've announced the new fixtures just isn't fair.

On the plus side, you have a better than even chance of making it into the final 4, it'll take a big win from tyaslevesley to overtake you. But you'll need to turn up for the semi-final .

The only thing I can think is sometimes I forget to put a title in the subject line and it won't let you send until there's one in there. I certainly didn't get anything from you. It's a shame, but thanks for playing, hope it added a little interest.

that might have been why then

sorry...as for the game really enjoyed it... made you think about the game and how it could pan out

[hancockjr]

SamD
Eng 26-50r/5-6w - Root, Archer, Williamson
WI 11-25r/3-4w - Gulbadin Naib, Holder, Cottrell
Pak 11-25r/3-4w - Babar Azam, Mo Amir, Shakib
Ind 26-50r/5-6w - Kohli, Bumrah, Malinga
Aus 51-100r/7-8w - Finch*, Warner, Starc

Hancockjr

Bang by 0-10, Afridi, Al Hasan*, Amir
India by 51-100, Sharma, Kohli, Shami
Australia by 51-100, Finch, Starc, Warner

So if Naib outscores Hope today I've lost the tie (given I've lost the last one, barring a Finch duck and no catches/wickets). Better hope for Hope.

I need hope to outscore pooran. I’ve basically lost the last game as my opponent has captained starc and I lost yesterday.

Helps when he gets dropped on 5.

Another possibility is that PM is deleted from sender's 'Outbox' before it is read by recipient.

It's OK to delete post from 'Sent Messages' because that means it has been received. However, if PM is being sent to multiple addresses, it's best to wait a while before deleting it as only one or some recipients may have read the message.

@ hancockjr:
On your comment "So if Naib outscores Hope today I've lost the tie (given I've lost the last one, barring a Finch duck and no catches/wickets). Better hope for Hope":
our match could be drawn if Finch doesn't outscore Warner or Starc against South Africa.

SamD
- WI 11-25r/3-4w - Gulbadin Naib, Holder, Cottrell
- Aus 51-100r/7-8w - Finch*, Warner, Starc

hancockjr
- West Indies by 11-25, Hope , Cotterrell, Holder
- Australia by 51-100, Finch, Starc, Warner

Also hope Hope doesn't kill you today. Good luck!

[hancockjr]

Yes good point though he only needs to get over half of Warner and Starc

[hancockjr]

If both have gone for the same margin, and they are wrong, presumably they get 25 each for this aspect (obviously only relevant to running total)?

[megadyl]

I thought this too when I saw the scores as this is what happens when people have played the average scores. In the case where you both get it correct though is this 50 each or 100 each?

[hancockjr]

That's for Spencer to decide!

Jeffers top-scores with Brathwaite 144 + correct margin + Holder = 309

We have our first draw, tyaslevesley 174 - 174 Arabian Knight but i doubt our last of this round !

Maldini is in danger of losing top spot in league A, opening up opportunities for others as jeffersdn sees a chink of light in B.
