Title: All Out Cricket Ashes Fantasy Game
Post by: AllOutCricket on July 16, 2013, 10:23:22 AM
Greetings bat lovers.

I thought you might be interested to know we've just launched an Ashes fantasy game. It's a little different from the usual fantasy games and really easy to play. We've got a different bat up for grabs for the highest scorer in each of the remaining four Tests of the series, plus a limited-edition Wisden 150 bat signed by Flintoff and Ponting for the overall winner.

Here are the rest of the details: http://www.alloutcricket.com/ashes/fantasy (http://www.alloutcricket.com/ashes/fantasy)

Get gaming!

I should have mentioned that you'll need to pick your team by 10am on Thursday morning to enter the overall competition. If you miss that deadline you can still join the game on a match-by-match basis at the conclusion of the Lord's Test, but you won't be in the running for the overall prize of the Wisden bat.

Great banter, choosing my team now.  Hard to decide whether or not Watson is a control bowler given his economy or an all rounder or a batsman.  Clever as well to make people choose a wicket keeper as an all rounder or batsman.

2091, wont get near the op i think. Also disappointing that I took out Smith!!!

1858 for me. Cook, Root, Pieterson and Agar all letting me down. Bell and Harris would have been good shouts. I doubt Harris will even play the next match they talk about him as if he's 70 years old!

KP, Hughes, Clarke and Siddle have done nothing for me.

Harris,
Trott,
Watson
Swann

Scoring big points for me

Im miles away! Picked a team that included Starc when in a rush and yes i forgot to take him out. If ever there was a *facepalm* emote on here, now is the time to use it!
Title: Re: All Out Cricket Ashes Fantasy Game
Post by: Giraffe208 on July 19, 2013, 08:36:44 PM
oh and yes it would have been a swap for Harris. Damn you work and family for taking up all my time!

8656 for me.

Dropped out Pietersen due to expecting him to be injured so missed out on his 100.

Great, my theory of them resting Anderson and bring in Tremlett was pants!

Post by: joeljonno on August 23, 2013, 08:21:41 AM
Currently second in the Oval leaderboard after day 2.  Could just do with Root and Trott putting quite a few on today (obviously meaning Cook to get out early).
