Fun Forum Fantasy cricket comp!

In Response to Fun Forum Fantasy cricket comp!:
I'm gonna enter this, which is a fiver, but Jesusdog has said he will run a table for forum peeps if you select a team and post it up here. I obviously know everything about cricket, so will win by a mile. But it will be interesting to see just how much I win by. Short notice, as it starts tomorrow, but if you wanna have a crack, here's the link... http://fantasycricket.telegraph.co.uk/county/select-team My team will be up in the morning!!!

i did say that, i think as it is such short notice it is fine to have entries in after the first game,given that there is no money on it...remember this is all about beating dohhhh so the more people who enter the less likely it will be that he wins......

on that note maybe dohhhhh would like a little charity bet on who finishes higher???

    also the website you have been directed to mentions transfers,but to keep it simple and to stop my brain from bursting, transfers are not allowed in this fun forum platform..special dispensation may be granted for a long term injury to one of my players but thats it

    Once you have registered your team click on "My Leagues" or something to that nature and there should be a section entitled "Join a League" and enter the above details and you will be included in the league!........

    Looks like an inspired last minute change to put Dimi in instead of Pollard, once I found out he will miss the first 8 group games.

    Crackin hair doo too.

    Hitman you have certainly not broken any rules at all and having 2 teams may potentially be beneficial to all of us as the best performing league wins £500.

    Should our league be the best performing and win the cash, my proposal would be the following:

    i) Share 75% of the cash equally between all members that are playing in the league.
    ii) The remaining 25% is placed in a special freeroll here on Sky Poker to celebrate the victory!.

    I will only put those plans into fruition on the basis that everyone playing in the league agrees to it!

    I thought I would bump this up, as it's T20 finals today, and the competition will conclude.

    After a slow start, I've cruised through the field to go into the final furlong with a healthy advantage, as you can see below.

    Shocking performance from "Roy Gasson", AKA, Jesusdog. He hasn't got a clue.

    Splashies goes into today with half a chance, but needs a miracle tbh.

    And I'm sure CT will be disappointed with his mid-table finish, although I suspect he may be the real winner when his team, and my tip for finals day @ 3/1, Lancashire take the trophy home tonight.

    What was it, 50 quid a man? And double for Hit Dogs?

    Ship, Ship!
