You were a close second. 26 in it.

Totally shocked to find myself on top of the pile...had expected to be nearer the bottom. But I'd forgot I had Cummins - and everyone has Smith so his failures don't count.

Early days ...

BFL has Cummins in for Boland

DD has Bairstow in for Boland

Red has Starc back in for Brook

Junior has Starc back in, but keeps Cummins in place of Moeen.

Mike has Starc back in for Boland and Lyon in for Moeen

Durham keeps Bairstow for Wood.

Game on!

When people come up to me and ask how Alex Carey's controversial stumping of blameless Jonny Bairstow will affect how this Ashes is remembered, I always reply, that it will be the ten points it scored the Loxton gloveman in the 2023 CMS fantasy league. If it had been a run out, he would have scored 20. These are the fine margins in play.

Here are the scores for the Lord's Test.

Duckett...241
Stokes...236
Smith...204

Broad...157
Starc...155

Robinson...148
Cummins...141
Head...136
Root...120
Carey...113
Khawaja...104

Green...84.
Labuschagne...77
Brook...74
Anderson...71
Bairstow...66

Lyon...33

DNP... Boland, Wood, Moeen


Unless you know better...

Lyon's injury was a stroke of misfortune for an unlucky few, as well as for the greatest ever Australian off spinner.

Here are the scores from the home of gammonry.

Sussex...854
Alfie...849

Twins...788

Junior...697
Red...697
BFL...690
Gingerpele...628
DD...622
Andy...604

Arthur...575
GJ...536
Durham...522

Mike...440

So Sussex has earned the right to refer to himself as Mr. Cricket for the next seven days.

OK for you, you haven't picked him!

Oh, you have... He replaced Wood.

Gingerpele was sawn off too.
