5 days to go.... only

surely everyone wants to play...... it's a scientific fact that everyone wants to be involved in this, the ultimate sporting spectacle, in whatever way they are able to get involved...... and it must be true, because I heard MPV saying it

Paris 2024 are desperately worried that their viewing figures will be horribly skewed by the millions, nay billions of people ignoring the swimming, cycling, running and jumping in favour of the hundred. They are so worried that they are trying to get it banned, or moved to the same time as the IPL

blooming French.... still so worried about Paris 2024 not turning out to be as successful as London 2012 that they're prepared to try and sideline away any competition from the new British sporting jewel in the crown............... or maybe they aren't bothered one jot, because even the Brits couldn't give a toss about the hundred... you didn't hear that here, right

2 days to go

come on guys it starts tomorrow!

perhaps I put everyone off by over selling it

it is an extraordinarily magnificent competition, full of worldwide significance........ well, to the ECB, anyway

less than one day to go

I'll need at least 6

as things stand, it looks as though I'll be pulling this one and having a few weeks off

lack of interest.....are you listening ECB?

is it worth stuffing up the whole county season for it?

Apologies! Just got caught up with the boys cricket schedule - all 3 of them are playing in the county age groups so it's full on at the moment - went from London to Leicester today for a county match for my eldest and then straight back to a club match for the twins - 14 hour day!

Could we do a comp where the first match for each player doesn't count? I can get the boys to do their teams tomorrow

We probably need another couple of entries from others that missed the deadline?

Yeah I could do a team too, been on holiday and forgot to do mine.

sorry chaps, I've decided to have a month off.

I am planning to do something new for next year though. A whole county season FL, where we pick 11 players who accumulate points for the entire season (in addition to the usual FL's). I thought of a way of doing it on a spreadsheet and I've been testing it out this season. It seems to work. I'll give more details next year
