I'll do this after I've completed the CMS cricket awards 2017. So tomorrow or the next day.

I wouldn't worry about too much. Australia won. That's all that matters.

I have him too. It's going to be a pretty close one I think, but the honours might go to whoever picked Cummins (not me)

The players scores from the final leg of Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League.

Featuring a deus ex machina from a figure who has spent the whole series downstage, barely seen, contributing little to the drama. But finally his cloak is removed, and we see the grinning visage of Usman Khawaja stepping out of the shadow. Will his late entry into the story of the series decide the outcome of this most prestigious contest?

You will only find out here, at the home of Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League.

But first, those scores.

Cummins...212
Khawaja...201
Root...167
Paine...128
Smith...123
Lyon...114
Moeen...113
Starc...91
Hazlewood...80
Warner...66
Bairstow...63
Broad...58
Anderson...50
Cook...49
Stoneman...44
Bancroft...10

At Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League, getting our clients' updated table out promptly is our priority and comes with our world famous guarantee.

But we have an emergency board meeting tonight. Problems with Fantasy League Worldwide credit rating in the Financial Times today though are wide of the mark. Pure fabrication.

Full scores to appear tomorrow.

You have our word.

Once again Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League delivers thrills and shocks all the way up the finish line. Just as Australia came back in Sydney after their calamity in Melbourne, the Fantasy League delivers the unexpected as standard.

Those of you who have invested in our highly desirable ticker tape update app will have seen that there have been some fascinating scores in Round 5: Sydney, and you will note that the FLASHING HEART symbol is pulsing, informing you of a CHANGE IN LEADER. Ashes 2016-17, WILL NOT BE GOING TO THE WEST MIDLANDS.

Here are some of the winners from Sydney....

Stands...662
Dilbert...649
DD...591
Prof...583
GJ...575

...and the losers.

Alfie...469
Yuppie...456
Ian...423

And here are the FINAL SCORES.

But first a word from our sponsors. We are proud to be joined for round five of the Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League by our new partners, Endorfins: The Harbor View Health Complex. Work out, refresh or just relax and show off in our multi faceted health spa within sight of Sydney's iconic bridge and opera house. Relax in our sustainable mud baths imported from Reykjavic, Iceland, and our natural spa water brought to you all the way from Italy in Europe. Enjoy a dinner or light refreshments from our Executive Dining Area featuring our Gwyneth Menu, or if you have a hunger that can't be satisfied with a world class choice of organic seaweeds, then please select from our highly recommended vegan range. Or just a Soy-latte prepared by one of our locally sourced baristas.

Anyone presenting their log in details to Endorfins, will receive a free Ugandan espresso, served either in a cup or as a refreshing and stimulating enema. Your choice. Please visit our website for more details. You never switch off, so why should we? Please contact our media liaison facilitator Dollfin Buff-Thomas twenty-four-seven-three six five, except Tuesdays and Sundays.

On with the scores. And it's very close. At the top.

21. Aidan...2551

20. Durham...2803
19. Al...2811
18. Dilbert...2850
17. DD...2876
16. Yuppie...2877

15. Andy...2930
14. Arthur...2944
13. BFP...2961
12. Prof...2962
11. Rich...2977
10. Adi...2983

5. Red...3157
4. Ian...3169
3. GJ...3171

2. Stands...3257
1.Doc...3261

Well done the aptly named Doctor Cricket who wins out from our other expert cricket analysts. Commiserations to Stands for coming so close, but it is fitting that the title goes to such a committed Ashes enthusiast, whose prize is a collection of Ashes themed books, videos and a red Steve Waugh mental disintegration handkerchief presented in a display frame. Well done to our winner.

A piece of Endorfins chocolate made with pure rain forest sourced palm oil will be dispatched immediately. Congratulations Red jr.

Thanks for competing CMS posters. I'll keep my bits of paper for three more days if there are any queries.

Bye.
I always say that everybody's right.
