I think you are overlooking the late call up of Nathan McCullum for the final, where he scores 2000 runs for me and takes all wickets..... caught and bowled!!

Failing that, do I not get 2000 bonus points for being stupid enough to select Afridi twice?

given that i led at one stage, my position now is horrendous... only positive for me is i have 7 players left

Lost four players today. But Amla and Steyn haven't been big earners. Rich is currently sitting in my spot. Chastening night for BN, flattened under the wheels of my rapacious chariot.

I am finished. Call the men in white jackets. Foaming at the mouth.

This is tragic. I was doing so well for quite some time. If only I could have Another Chance then I could beat my fl nemesis.

8th is the new 1st

Yes, I actually chose a team to finish eighth.

sorry for the tardiness. I've been silly busy at work this week. I've only just clocked the result now and I have to go back out again in a few minutes once I've re-sterilised some more instruments.

I'll get on the job as soon as I get in this evening (no ken W photo's required)

Unsuprising to see Kohli fail.... again. Goodness only knows what has happened to him since the start of the WC, but he's just got worse and worse and worse. India probably needed him on top of his game to have had any chance in the SF.

Starkers to decide the destination for this FL title and he needs to score over a hundred points.

Kohli has seriously dented Ian's charge with his massive 11 points.

It's a bit early to say, but 107 points for a bowler in the final, who is unlikely to bat, looks like a lot to ask, even though he does average 93 points per match

I would have Adi as a big favourite, the way things stand.

You are in grave danger of overshooting.

Seventh!

Nothing ever goes right.

I've learned the lesson that being a patriotic Englishman doesn't pay. I think I shall emigrate.
