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)

Should be able to get this done today.

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

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.

Just in the top half Adi.

congratulation to joe root for winning the more prestigious award of the CMS Ashes.
