and so he should be

fine effort

I remember reading, before the comp started, that Rashid Khan would only be available for half of the T20 blast, which is the reason why I didn't pick him

It has just occurred to me that he's played the whole comp. Perhaps he thought he would be snapped up for the CPL, or perhaps Sussex offered him more money to stay than he would have got in the Caribbean

half of that leaderboard has new players in it and I have two of those 10

which might explain why I'm sliding down the table like Ian Blackwell after a particularly heavy cream cake binge

GG has closed the gap on the kid pretty significantly there!

Very tight for 3rd at the moment

Thanks to Willey returning (and to a much, much lesser extent, Roy and Hales too), I had a cracking end to the group stage. Although it's still only hauled me into the race for third - left myself with far too much to do above that.

If only Stirling played for a county that actually qualifies for the QFs occasionally.

I'm essentially down to 6 given that Rashid is with Afghanistan for the next 2 weeks.

Then at the Asia cup if Sussex get through to finals day.

can't be very often that Rashid Khan doesn't appear on a players leaderboard top 10

Those 4 washed out games won't have helped
