I will join tonight after the Liverpool Chelsea game

I'm busy at the minute though

Utd heap · 22nd April 2008, 16:48

I've advertised it in the general.
I'm expecting abuse, but it should get it noticed.

VidaRed · 22nd April 2008, 17:24

20le_Solskjaer · 22nd April 2008, 19:38

I'll register tomorrow.

KENT JL Denly
HANTS Michael Lumb
SOMERSET James Hildreth *TP
WARWICKS IJL Trott
NORTHANTS Stephen Peters
WARWICKS Ant Botha
SOMERSET Carl Gazzard
GLOUCS Anthony Ireland
GLOUCS Steve Kirby
WORCS Matt Mason
ESSEX Danish Kaneria

Havent followed Country Cricket that closely the past two seasons, so my team is a bit shit. Also, it seemed ridiculously hard to meet the max team value.

Good on yer, Samuel.

If enough people sign up, I might come up with some kind of prize for the overall winner. Not sure what it will be though. Something off ebay probably.

Something cheap.

Yeah the valuation of some of the players is a bit ridiculous. Kaneria is out until May 21st, by the way.

Rowem · 22nd April 2008, 23:14

Didnt know that, but I just subbed him out anyway. I copied your choice of Onions, good bargain that and it meant I could fit Ramprakash in.

Only I can pick Ramprakash, I'm afraid. Didn't you read the small print?

its very small and invisible.

DanNistelrooy · 23rd April 2008, 13:54

I have no idea about county cricket but i've joined... DanNistelrooy's 'Good Cricket Team' - not feeling very creative today

Utd heap · 23rd April 2008, 16:04

Onions and Newby front my attack.
Any decent batsman seems to be ridiculously expensive.

I picked Newby too. Although it seems he's not playing in the current match. Good job there are unlimited transfers until next week.

C'mon Sam. You haven't registered yet. Forget your GCSE's - they're worthless anyway these days.

Utd heap · 27th April 2008, 16:47

Bump this!

Steev · 27th April 2008, 20:57

Bumped again. C'mon people - you've only got until Tuesday morning to register. Get your teams picked!

Rowem · 28th April 2008, 02:59

Must be a couple more people to join surely? With just four people it's so intimate it's almost embarassing!

Also, anyone have a good site for monitoring injuries or whether players are available? Or do I have to just trawl through the news stories and the team sheets for every game?

Utd heap · 28th April 2008, 16:07

Bump!

Utd heap · 28th April 2008, 19:37

Bloody come on!
Redender, and Brad i'm both aware you're into Cricket.

Steev · 30th April 2008, 21:20

Latest standings (despite hardly any cricket being played so far...)

01 DanNistelrooy Good Cricket Team 73
02 Rowem Rowey McRowe of Rowemania 50
03 Utdheap Heaps Grinders 32
04 steev123 Useless XI 22

Well it's a thrilling league - you can't argue with that.

Utd heap · 30th April 2008, 22:39

It all seems to depend on how optimistic you are when you pick the name of your team.

I'm paying a heavy price right now.

Sam#1 · 1st May 2008, 00:01

Fuck, forgot about this.

Is it to late?

No - you can still join up. There wont be much cricket played in this round of games due to the weather so I doubt if joining a few days late would make a difference.

Does this please you?

It does.

I'll sign up tomorrow, although I'm bound to forget, so if you could PM me giving me a gentle reminder, that would be much appreciated.

Ta.
