Does this mean when the footy is on delay by 30 minutes it's actually 30mins 10 secs?

Was swimming with the toddler so didn't do my trades for the DGW...lol might as well plan for next round with DGW

Oh no Jay. It's Tom Mitchell all over again.

OMG Just realised I have Alfonso Thomas who was dropped!! for the DGW and I have Marsh who will only play one game of the DGW, lol

bugger!!

Lol ouch.

I thought the DGW might've given Thomas a chance to redeem himself as well as I was almost going to bring him in myself.

Happy with the C on MMarsh so far

AND it continues (ranked ~3,000) and just a bit of fun with BigBash.

Wasn't sure if I was busy today so did trades last night, planning for SYDT's DGW next week as I missed the PER DGW, so these are my trades (last night):

OUT Lalor ($44,900) IN Floros ($37,500)
OUT Hussey ($72,100) IN Dilshan ($92,000)

Then just read this tweet:

'Big loss for the @ThunderBBL - Tillakaratne Dilshan ruled out of the team due to a back injury. Ajantha Mendis will play his first game'

Obviusly if this was SuperCoach I'd be more careful and plan ahead, but what's going on?....ROFL

EDIT - a bit of a roller coaster but even with Dilshan out, I have Maddinson as cover (by luck LOL)

 

[Bomber18]

@Impromptu OUCH! But could be a blessing in disguise if Maddinson fires
You should still have him for the double game!

I have benched Malinga for Vettori.
In before, Vettori 0, Malinga 100.

 

[Bomber18]

Kieswetter OUT for 4!
Whiteman on field looking the goods already, but too early to celebrate in this game as there are -20s haha.

 

[IDIG]

Cutting in at 6 (and before Hopes)

EDIT; oh the innings is over. D'oh!

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Ah only 4 from Kieswetter so far, could do with a couple of catches and a stumping or two.
I might struggle to win this week I reckon, opponent has M. Marsh as skipper, I have the VC on Katich so got to make a decision on either backing him in or going a Stars player.

 

[Impromptu]

Wow could Sydney Thunder have their first win in over 2 years?

Wow could Sydney Thunder have their first win in over 2 years?

Lol hopefully it goes down to the wire.

 

[IDIG]

5/90 can't see them winning from there.

Mr Cricket, just keeps on keeping on. 50/32* at the moment

 

[Bomber18]

Looks like they've missed out again : (

Am I glad I finally got Cutting in this week, just in time to see him smacking 6s and taking wickets!

 

[Impromptu]

Gannon 3 wickets in an over...LOL and a catch..

 

[Dynamo]

Finch out > dynamo welcomes mr cricket to the team with a VC armband on. Had a brief scare as I did not know if I had a donut left to put the C on.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

A good news story to come out of the English tour...

Matt Prior and Stuart Broad rescued a man who wanted to jump from a bridge to commit suicide in Sydney
When Prior and Broad were returning to team hotel from a function Prior saw a man trying to jump from a bridge. He went to the man and talked to him consoling him to come down and then stayed with the man for one hour till the police arrived.
Stuart Broad tweeted about the incident, "Matt Prior is my best friend and I am proud of what he did today."

 

[IDIG]

"Johnson, Warner and pretty much anyone who has facial hair. If they've shaved by the time this competition is drawn, they're off the invite list!"

Best Cricket series ever!!!!

8th in Sportal.
and 400 odd in Foxsports.

Most importantly, I have realized why fantasy cricket is such a poor cousin to the AFL. AFL just has more statistical range than cricket. It is not perfect, but AFL's broader range of stats makes it far more interesting.

Adelaide Strikers won the toss and elected to bat first.

 

[IDIG]
