That's just the extremes of the second round. Full round two results coming up in the morning now once they've been okayed by Arlene Foster.

A low scoring round, with many posters not seeming to be able to post significant scores even with big scoring Mitch Starc in their ranks. Not much on the board by the strongly fancied Smith, Root and Warner.

We at Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League pride ourselves on excellence and precision, and we are proud to be joined for this round by the fabulous Brad's Drive-In Bottle Shop, home of MacKillop's Moonshine and Poteen, brewed to the same traditional recipe for over 200 years, in the same antique bath tubs. Adelaide's smoothest drink. Brad's Drive-In Bottle shop will offer a 5% discount to any customer with a CMS log in, provided they avoid one of the gateposts. Don't forget to mention Ashes 2017-18 Fantasy League.

On with the show.

The scores after two Tests.

REDjr...1322
GG...1322
IAN...1313

GJ...1287
Doc...1273
Dilbert...1270
Yuppie...1227
BFP...1225
Prof...1224
Andy...1217
Diligent...1213
Adi...1210

BFL...1183
Red...1183
Durham...1178
Stands...1173

Al...1094
Aidan...1090
Rich...1045
Arthur...1015

3rd tier, for me.

still.......... despite being off the pace somewhat, being only 5 points behind Red feels like a positive thing. Hopefully when he makes his move he'll drag me along with him

Probably everyone's still in with a decent chance I think.

Not even half way.

Third tier, despite a team of all Aussies when England are 2-0 down.

Who'd have thought Australia would be 2-0 up with Warner and Hazlewood yet to make a match-defining contribution?

I should have picked Lyon though :no

The points difference is not much. Most teams must be having at least 3 same players.

My one Englishman, Root, has been a massive disappointment so far.
