Have I got enough in the tank to put a spurt on?

I probably need it, although the 2 behind me might have put so much effort into closing the gap, that they are now totally shagged out

Meh.... I can hope!

Red Devil is nicely poised to peak once the Group Stages are done with.

Willey is out for the next month, that should halt any prospect of a late charge

Gap at the top re-opens. Excellent week for my boys, and a stunning return to form from Big Jack Rudolph

Well done.

just noticed that McClenaghan is playing for Middlesex. Ntini had him down as playing for Worcs, so I'll have to look back and see if he has played any other matches. Abbott has not played for 3 matches, so perhaps that would be a good starting point

seems he has been available for 3 matches. He played against Sussex, scoring 100 points, played today scoring 70 points, but not the match in between

I'll score him as if he scored 170 points today and that should bring things up to date

Footman extends his lead
BN falls away, opening the door for Ian
Beer scores his first decent points in a while which ought to cheer Yorker up
CF continues to prop up the table
Ntini is a non-mover despite the McClenaghan windfall


and Andy Murray is Scottish again

blooming Scots...... can't trust them to get anything right

Faulkner and Croft have had the kind of stunning week that defines Fantasy leagues

and Willey is back

going to be very tight......... again

I can't seem to shake the challengers off

You have a cosy cushion on the chasing pack. Maybe Ian can get you but my form is so bad recently I am more likely to win the battle for the wooden spoon.
