Captain Gayle just getting going for me....sweet.

Rob K · « **Reply #121 on:** March 19, 2007, 11:36:32 pm »

Racked up nearly 100 points today.

Sweet

Okkervil · « **Reply #122 on:** March 20, 2007, 12:14:03 am »

Up to 4th after today

Jimmy10Men · « **Reply #123 on:** March 20, 2007, 12:25:56 pm »

nicely tucked in in 8th me.

AdamR · « **Reply #124 on:** March 20, 2007, 12:48:50 pm »

Near the bottom probably

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #125 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:32:16 pm »

It either says something for my uncanny eye for a bargain or just how shit the rest of my team is doing when Elton Chigumbura is my 2nd highest points scorer!

Had all sorts of problems with childbirth in this tournament - I picked Haddin thinking Gilchrist wouldn't be around for the opening games and picked Ntini without knowing he was back home watching his wife give birth. He owes me a 5 for against the Jocks today

had good old freddie as my captain up until now

gjr1 · « **Reply #127 on:** March 20, 2007, 02:49:08 pm »

Last!

I'm almost embarassed. Spin to win? More like spin to get your bottom spanked.

I feel a comeback on the way though!

Cassiel · « **Reply #128 on:** March 20, 2007, 03:19:54 pm »

I was flying but had a shit day yesterday. Been making a few changes for the big lads versus minnows games, though want to hold on to a few subs for the latter stages.

I'll take ninth with some sweet stuff to come.

AdamR · « **Reply #129 on:** March 20, 2007, 04:26:06 pm »

Taylor, smith, kallis and oram today for me

AdamR · « **Reply #130 on:** March 20, 2007, 10:33:15 pm »

Smith and taylor with a nice day

Do these changes work for this round, as i only made them earlier today ?

only 9 left oops

Red in Korea · « **Reply #131 on:** March 21, 2007, 08:27:08 am »

The "Read in Korea" family are 1 & 2 after today. That's sweet. I shall enjoy it while it lasts. I suspect the canny players are saving a lot more modifications for the later rounds than we are!

MrEcho · « **Reply #132 on:** March 21, 2007, 03:10:49 pm »

Fuckin hell 2nd! I've only made one change as well (clark for Tait), Gonna save all my changes for the later rounds.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #133 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:07:43 pm »

Jayasuria retired hurt on 83 - get back out there and get your ton you big jessie!

Too right. One of my all rounders too, so if he can't bowl he's no use to me. Sanith, get back out there or you're dead to me.

Indian fans might be happy if he's proper injured.

Rob K · « **Reply #135 on:** March 24, 2007, 08:50:21 am »

Made a couple of changes and i'm hoping for a big points haul today.

Up today for me are:

Gibbs
Ponting
Hayden
Gilchrist
Collingwood
Tait
Plunket

I think they're the same players as I have in. Hoping to go top today

Hightown Phil · « **Reply #137 on:** March 24, 2007, 10:02:46 am »

I've set my team up nicely for the Super8 now, been making transfers every day and now only have 2 left.

Very top heavy with batsmen though.

Jimmy10Men · « **Reply #138 on:** March 24, 2007, 04:42:23 pm »

Had Gilchrist and have got Ponting and Clarke, I am really enjoying this 140+ unbroken partnership!

Ah, me and my son are joint top after today. How lovely is that?

Made a lot of modifications though, so it could be all downhill from here.

MrEcho · « **Reply #140 on:** March 25, 2007, 06:29:41 pm »

1 change so far and intend on changing my indians now they're out. So sitting in fifth & am hoping to have a good super eight and then chqange to a team full of players who will be in the final for a sprint finish!

Art Vandelay · « **Reply #141 on:** March 26, 2007, 11:31:33 am »

Just made a load of changes yesterday, and now I've got to get rid of Lou Vincent because of his broken wrist. Bet I can't find anyone decent...

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #142 on:** March 26, 2007, 11:40:06 am »

I've got 19 changes up my sleeve but may have left my late surge a bit too late!

He'll just get replaced for Marshall, who is an E!

No, you get to change him for anybody, and you won't lose a modification.

Art Vandelay · « **Reply #145 on:** March 27, 2007, 06:02:47 pm »

Thank fuck I put Hayden in a couple of days ago.

5th place with 19 modifications left - that's pretty good!!

gramck24 · « **Reply #148 on:** March 28, 2007, 03:27:04 pm »

I see wickets dropping aplenty so far and they have been going less than an hour.

Was hoping for something from Jayasuriya but he has just gone for 26.

Ian H · « **Reply #149 on:** March 29, 2007, 12:01:53 am »

i was 4th this morning and thats better than i would have imagined!

gramck24 · « **Reply #150 on:** March 29, 2007, 08:03:39 am »

Great 4 wicket haul from Malinga at the end of the SA game.

Shame they didn't quite manage to win in the end.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #151 on:** March 29, 2007, 09:25:11 am »

Anyone know if there are special bonuses for a hattrick/4 in 4?

Cassiel · « **Reply #152 on:** March 29, 2007, 09:29:08 am »

My stubborn refusal to pick Hayden has cost me. But he is a c*nt and I won't relent, because though I may lose, I will be able to look myself in the mirror and call myself a principled man.

Lord forgive me but I've relented and just picked him. Stable doors and bolted horses springs to mind. The thing is I didn't even realise he was only in band C. I was looking for an equally mediocre replacement for Ross Taylor and stumbled across him and Michael Clarke. Plumped for Hayden so watch Clarke rack up the big scores now!

Crosby Nick, I have just fallen to my knees and prayed for your mortal soul. You have sinneth. I, meanwhile, have sinneth Jayusariya.

I looked earlier, unfortunatly there isn't, you will just get 20 points (5 per wicket)

briggsy · « **Reply #156 on:** March 29, 2007, 01:14:58 pm »

Been away, and am just making my first changes now. Hopefully can move up the table a bit now.
