Doh!

Sorry.

Shirzad’s slogging and Adil Rashid suddenly becoming Jonty Rhodes have made all the difference.

You lucky git KC.

My turn to be a lucky so and so with Shaheen. Was convinced Bangladesh would win today.

[Spencer4]

India walk it...

Sibrown4 v Hancockjr Postponed

Another draw between tyaslevesley and Arabian Knight, destroying the last hopes tyaslevesley had. And speaking of hopeless cases, jeffersdn has had his lights turned out by Boddington.

Top -scorer was DLIAH, crushing CertiF in this one like a cat playing with a mouse.

Nearly over for all but 4 of us...

Overall:
1 (1) Maldini 8566
2 (2) Hancockjr 8554

Aussies crumble...

And another draw (that's 3 of 5) between tyaslevesley and Arabian Knight, as SamD and hancockjr throw one in for good measure.

Closest game with a result was DLIAH losing to CertiF by just 4.

Top-scorer was thebillfella, Starc joker and Warner doing the damage.

Hancockjr takes the scorers league, well done.

Overall:
1 (2) Hancockjr 8822
2 (1) Maldini 8669

Bombed like New Zealand in the end but sadly too much quality in our league to cling on. Well played all the semi finalists and Spencer for running a great game for the last few weeks.

Absolutely loved this game, thanks ever so much for running it Spencer.
Good luck to the top players for the rest of the competition.

[thebillfella]

So near yet so far. Recon playing no show blah the week when many games were rained off (leading to a draw) did for me in the end.

Thanks for running Spencer and good luck all.

Gook luck SP4 and thanks for running a great comp.

After much thought...
India 11-25, Rohit, Rahul, Boult
Aus 1-10, Warner, Finch, Lyon*

Good luck maestro

[Spencer4]

After the 2-day thriller...

Hancockjr 147 - 114 Spencer4
Bumrah* 60, Williamson 87 = 147 / Closest margin 50, Boult 63, Rohit 1 = 114

Neck and neck in this one, Aussies dominate will favour me, England will be playing for hancock

Maldini 199 - 32 Sibrown4
Closest margin 50, Williamson 87, Pandya 62 = 199 / Bumrah 30, Rohit* 2 = 32

Maldini seems to have one foot in the final, joker having also gone from Sibrown, he needs Starc to go through the top order getting Root ideally.

[hancockjr]

I spent the whole Game thinking Williamson was my captain- much closer than I thought therefore!

Happy to lose for once...

Hancockjr 168 - 19 Spencer4 (315 - 133)
Maldini 253 - 103 Sibrown4 (452 - 135)

Two huge and very convincing wins for the two league table-toppers. A final the world (apart from the '4' families) wanted to see...

The Final: Entry by PM deadline midnight Saturday.

Rule change for the final - choose 5 players, all 5 will count (pick margin as usual)

Just PM’d my picks.

All the best for the final hancockjr.

[hancockjr]

Submitted. So as not to cloud my supporting of England in the Final I probably won't look at your picks until after.

Good luck (England especially).

[Spencer4]

Hi Spencer,

Here’s my lot for the final

J Bairstow
J Root
C Woakes (Captain)
K Williamson
L Ferguson

ENG to win by 26-50

Hi,

Eng 26-50
Williamson*, Root, Boult, Woakes, Archer

[Spencer4]

Hi Spencer,

Here’s my lot for the final

J Bairstow 36
J Root 17
C Woakes (Captain) 184
K Williamson 30
L Ferguson 100

ENG to win by 26-50

Hi,

Eng 26-50
Williamson* 60, Root 17, Boult 31, Woakes 92, Archer 30

So Maldini wins the final 417 - 280

Thanks for playing everyone, don't forget the Ashes game, only a couple of weeks away now !

Both finalists win free bets (£25 and £10), let me know what you want to bet on, or leave it until the Ashes starts.

[forestfan]

Anyone betting on 5-0 Australia will be automatically disqualified

[Maldini]

Thanks for a great side game SP4. Really enjoyed the format, even though I’m still not quite sure of the rules.

Will have a think about how I’d like to invest the £25.

Cheers
