World Cup Fantasy Cricket League

[Dans]

Anyone fancy it?

I have started a league on the bbc site - the Kin Fantasy Cricket League.

<a href="http://bbccricket.fantasyleague.co.uk/index.asp" target="_blank">Link to Game</a>

Have a look and if you fancy it pm me your pin and I'll add you in.

For the English amongst us, you can choose a team without including a single English player, so you do stand a chance.

 

[Nate]

PM.

 

[Dans]

K - I'll sort it out at home and let you know the stuff that will help you wile away even more work hours.

as for england players dont you rate vaughan?

 

[Dans]

Yeah I do. But there are better batsman for the one dayers imo. I included Trescothick because he's one of the best one dayers in the world imo. Send me a pm with your pin.

 

[Nate]

Marcus has been shit though, Vaughn has been the better by far.

 

[Dans]

In the one dayers? Or the tests?

As was very clearly explained in the first post, cut off one of your huge DD breasts, write your pin on it in black marker pen and send it to Nate who will embalm it and hang it on his wall but only after sending me your pin via a pm giggzy.

 

[giggzy]

[ellie brown]

For interests sake, the women of the Johannesburg "star" have come up with a World Hunks XI from the teams of the world cup...they are, in batting order...

Wasim Akram = Pakistan
Stephen fleming = NZ
Alok Kapali = Bangladesh
Makhaya Ntini = Sth Africa
Corey Collymore = windies
Craig White = england
Zaheer Khan = India
Brett Lee = Australia
Rahul Dravid = India
Chris Cairns = NZ
Sashin Tendulkar = India

<img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" /> I almost feel like re-registering this team on the fantasy league to see how they go! (apart form there being 3 indians in there...)

Perhaps most amusing of all, in the words of todays "sunday-star times"...

"...And in a further blow to Australian legspinner shane warne's confidence after tabloid revelations last week that he'd had a facelift - he was named 12th man to carry the drinks for the 11 "hunks" " <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

 

[sidsutton]

This the team I finally settled on -

R Ponting AUS
H Gibbs SAF
B Lara WES
R Sarwan WES
R Dravid IND
S Tendulkar IND
J Kallis SAF
S Jayasuriya SRI
S Warne AUS
S Akhtar PAK
M Muralitharan SRI

Lara getting me off to a nice start. Wish Hooper would get out so Sarwan can get some runs!

Yes Lara has done a good job for me today. If only Kallis could get a few of the tail.

Kallis gets a point for a catch amd should get some for a good economy rate.

If anyone picked Michael Bevan, he won't be playing in their first match.

 

[RUDDY]

lara was a fecking joy today

 

[sidsutton]

Yeah, even Sarwan came in and got a few points for me!

'Kin Kallis just got out though.

bollocks. what's wrong with the cnut and did you get this from the beeb cos apparently they said that lara wouldn't play and that Klusener wouldn't bowl today.

 

[Dans]

Blinding win for the Windies today I should add. Didn't expect that at all.
