As so often happens, Mike is operating with less than a full hand by mid series, and clearly invested recklessly in spin bowling all rounders with Moeen Ali, Sir Jadeja joining Murali Vijay in the bargain bin..

If England affect their customary bounce back from a catastrophic loss I imagine my quest for the Mars Bar may yet be alive , though the podium already looks out of reach.
Or is it a Bakewell Tart for eighth this time ?

bloody students

Can the captain step up to plate? (Is there a cricket version of this metaphor...)

Your country and local fantasy league player need you!

This is BFL's table topping seven.

GG and Mike have Moeen.

Alfie's all England team again looking inspired.

I can't do this tomorrow. Probably Tuesday.

Not such a good game for mine, apart from Pujara.

Hopefully England get punished in the 5th test match for Arthur not posting the scores yet for the 4th test. lol.

Arthur if india win the 5th test you are getting credit for the win ok.

I know I'm slacking. Hope to do it tomorrow.

I'll take your Pujara, and lower you to Root

I don't know, I'm kinda hoping Ashwin does get dropped, because then I get Root in for the Oval. I have a hunch he's due a score.

The scores from The Rose Bowl have finally arrived, unpacked from a container ship in Lowestoft shipped from Mumbai. And then sent on by donkey to my offices in Jersey. Here are the player scores.

Moeen...267
Pujara...172
Kohli...134
Stokes...131
Ishant...114
Broad...111
Buttler...110
Cook...89
Ashwin...81
Root...72
Rahane...72
Anderson...49
Rahul...39
Jennings...36
Hardik...24
Rashid...23
Bairstow...6

More updates to come.

Send any queries by Carrier pigeon to any pub in St. Helier and it'll get to me.

thank goodness you aren't staying at your summer PO box address in Turks and Caicos

Too much conflict between the Turks and the Caicos'.

Here are the scores for the exciting Test at the Rose Bowl, the existing status quo shattered by the emergence of Englands mew shooting star, Moeen Ali. I'll do the running totals tonight on my break. If I have a break. Here's a little teaser.


GG...593
BFL...567
Mike...554
Prof...508
DD...480
Durham...462
Al...437
Andy...433
Redjr....432
Doc...426
Ian...392
Adi...372
Alfie...347
Arthur...332
Red...300

But don't expect too much change at the top.

the only change i'm expecting is for Red to go second, with all the momentum behind him

something he always seems to do
