Will leave it to the jury.

Entry accepted, your FL picks read as it is the case as Mo Shami was causing havoc at the time you pressed submit

Apologies for the delay, I have made some progress on this. Scoring with the old fashioned pen, pad and calculator as I stubbornly refuse to purchase Microsoft Office.

1st ODI league table coming up...

Mikesiva with an early lead, whilst Red is bottom

This is not a drill!


Mikesiva = 275
Andy = 264
Backfootpunch = 250
Alviro = 209
Arthur = 200 (yes, really)
DD = 193
Alfie = 191
Adi = 179
Red Junior = 179
Ian1970 = 176
GG = 129
Red = 103

2nd ODI standings

Backfootpunch powers his way into the lead!


Backfootpunch = 597
Andy = 549
Arthur = 507
Alfie = 481
Mikesiva = 475
Ian1970 = 462
Adi = 446
Red Junior = 446
Alviro = 416
DD = 398
GG = 359
Red = 351

3rd ODI standings

Backfootpunch remains top

Backfootpunch = 985
Arthur = 967
Mikesiva = 917
Andy = 900 (yes, really)
Adi = 842
Red Junior = 842
Alfie = 821
Ian1970 = 806
Alviro = 764
GG = 760
DD = 757
Red = 726


A high scoring round in all, where Red remains bottom despite returning 375pts. Arthur powers his way to 2nd spot and is in touching distance, while Mike is back in contention after becoming the rounds high scorer with 442pts.

The reason why Adi and Red Junior are tied throughout the series to date is Junior has Jadeja in his ODI and has yet to feature in this series. Junior's 1st reserve means him and Adi have the same five players in operation.

Stay tuned for the next set of updates.

Blimey I'm getting a nose bleed being that high

4th ODI

A low scoring match considering the wholesale changes made in addition to India being bowled out cheaply. Those who selected Trent Boult chose wisely as he was the highest scorer with 200pts.

Standings

Mikesiva = 1257
Arthur = 1252
Backfootpunch = 1116
Alfie = 1083
Andy = 1005
GG = 966
Adi = 964
Alviro = 962
Red Junior = 957
Ian = 935
DD = 925
Red = 835

The dream is back on! Mikesiva leads and Red bottom

Though Arthur is a maiden behind

Can dreams turn into reality? Find out after the next update

5th ODI

Lots of DNPs and a relatively low scoring ODI made points difficult to come by. Again, those with Trent Boult chose wisely as he topped the scoring with 131pts.

Final standings

The dream has happened, this is not a drill!!!

Mikesiva = 1578
Arthur = 1477
Alfie = 1276
Backfootpunch = 1268
AP = 1108
Ian = 1108
Andy = 1073
GG = 1052
Red Junior = 1045
Adi = 1040
DD = 1011
Red = 992

Congratulations to Mikesiva on winning the New Zealand v India ODIs Fantasy League
