2019 ICC Cricket World Cup fantasy league

Oh dear.

Still, early days. New Zealand up tonight - hopefully I'll claw back a little with a couple of players from their ranks.

Lots of entrants.

going to have to play well to win the mars bar in this one. Normally that's a consolation prize, but this time it'll be like getting into a european spot in football

[Durhamfootman]

interesting that only a couple of our antipodean buddies plumped for Stokes. Whether it was England performances over the last year or a disappointing IPL I don't know, but it seems the rest of us lost faith in him

could be a smart move if the early indications hold true.

even if Stokes has a stellar world cup, and breaks all the records, I still wouldn't throw him the ball in the last over of the final with 30 to defend

Or not.

the two who took a punt on Stokes leap to the top of the board

Fluffy claws his way off the bottom

[The Professor]

Well this isn't ideal

[Durhamfootman]

early days yet, prof

not everyone has played and plenty of batsmen in the 3 one-sided matches didn't get a chance to shine... that'll change soon enough

[alfie]

Poor start for me (a YJB duck !) and not got much better...

But I think I've been done out of 38 points (Smith ) which has made it even worse....can have a recount ?

[Durhamfootman]

ah... you have alfie. spreadsheet error. Apologies......I've corrected it now. Hopefully it won't affect your other players, but if you see anything let me know
