Apologies for being a pedant but I thought Neser had scored a load of points so did a quick mental calc during the day and thought he'd scored 202 points based on 122 + 30 for scoring a century + 30 for SR over 150 + 20 for his wicket. I may be missing something but can you check for me - thanks footman.

Looks like White is out with injury, that's not good news for me

I don't think it will matter, Red tbh, Valente has just handed Buzz Lightyear the key to unlock the after burners

it was 202 for Neser, apologies, I think perhaps I just awarded 20 for the hundred instead of 30. Fortunately I awarded 30 to Klinger for his. Thanks for pointing it out

and Red has blasted off

It was nip and tuck until yesterday, and then in 2 matches.... bang.... all over

I'm now trying to work out how many Maddinson, Cowan and Labuschagne have to score in their next matches just to close the gap a bit, and whenever that happens, it usually means my challenge is over for another comp.

difficult to keep up with Red at the best of times, but even harder when one of my players retires the day after the comp starts

8 of us have Cam White

of the 5 who don't, 3 occupy the bottom 3 places on the leaderboard

Bit early to say it's all over! These things can change quickly and we have no idea who is going through to the knockout stages yet so that could be critical.

Apologies on the scoring but I thought Valente had scored 166

yeah... should have been 166. I'll have to check back over all the scorecards, because I've been stopping the batting points at 30 for 150+ like it is for the T20, forgetting that we go up to 40 in this one. One of the problems of scoring multiple formats..... sorry. I'll adjust the scores for anyone who has scored at an SR of over 200 (not too many) and it will be reflected in the leaderboard published later today. Thanks for letting me know

Turns out it was the first time a selected player with enough qualifying runs had scored at an SR of 200+, so hasn't mucked things up too much.

Interestingly, no-one was scoring at 200's in the first half of the tournament, and now quite a few are, so either the weather is changing, the pitches are changing, or the attitude is changing. Something is changing at any rate. Perhaps players are just getting into the swing of things?
