Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

I'll keep my pieces of paper for a couple of days in case anyone thinks I've gone wrong. After that, look in book.

the Amber Rudd victory.

I'd forgotten about the 8th placed finish.... shrinkflation? More like greedflation

thanks for running it Arthur

Heartiest of congrats to alfie, but the daily mail says that mike was the real winner

Mike had five Aussies. I don't think the DM will like that.

Well played alfie, thanks for running AC, and for my team.

Last minute inclusion of Boland was a total blunder...

Phew ! That was close ... well done Red and Junior with that storming run home ! I trust there haven't been any miscalculations so I can celebrate now ; but that's what I call a good race.

Many thanks for running this Arthur. Always fun.

Been two days and no queries, so the result stands.

Well done everyone.

Usually some posters' teams are wrecked by injuries half way through the series. I was thinking of introducing an injury or tactics swap half way through the series next time. The drawback is it means members will lose out if they don't re-engage with the thread way part during the series.

A concussion sub , perhaps

Might be simpler just to have more than two reserves ? The other way would be to allow posters to nominate squads per match ; but that would radically change the nature of the competition. I for one am happy with the way these are working : sometimes you get lucky , sometimes not : no real reason to change.

What do others think ?

I'm happy enough with the way it's done now.... other than the fact that I don't win enough of them for my liking
