I'm getting the wooden spoon if Notts have a shocker. Or a month of rain.

testing

guessing we have lost this FL then?

Not quite.

DDB has suggested to extend the deadline for entries. My proposal is to start FL scoring on Friday.

noooooo Varun Chopra scored a hundred today!!

Only 3 entries on here plus Ian and myself via Twitter. Think it's the fairest solution if folk are still wanting to enter a team.

Unless DFM saved the teams on a spreadsheet somewhere...?

Did make few attempts to post my team today but could not login due to site issues

Well.... that was rather inconvenient

First of all thanks to all concerned for getting us back online. Something like this must take a lot of time and hassle to negotiate.

Unfortunately I don't do my spreadsheets until all the teams are in

I did think about starting the comp on Friday but that puts some players at the disadvantage of having a match less to score points.

I did think about starting the scoring for players at the point where their teams begin their second match, but my inclination (with so many teams lost or not submitted) is to just ask everyone to submit their teams... or re-submit them..... and just trust that everyone submits the team that they would have submitted had we not been hacked

So, unless someone has a problem with this (and I'm open to alternative views) then I would like to just carry on as if nothing had happened and ask everyone to submit their teams tonight and I'll take it from there. It's not as if this is a 3 match FL where significant advantage can be derived from submitting a team after a series has started

Does this seem reasonable?

This was the team I intended to submit

I've been at the Durham match today, so I've seen some of the scores, but none of the scorecards, so I'm posting this before I have a look

Jennings Lan
Maxwell Lan
Mullaney Not
Hain War
Bernard Wor
Kohler Cadmore Yor

I agree with this. But maybe extend it a couple days for people to log on?
