The Twenty20 World Cup, 11th to 24th September

(Might as well make this the official thread then)

Also...

The Flaming Bails 20-20 World Cup Fantasy Cricket league is going to be one sad competition with just three players signed up.

Come on, don't be shy.

I might even spring for a prize.

Yeah, that'll happen.

edit: How about your very own rank?

Doesn't get any better than that.

I've entered mine. Too few points allocated IMHO.

BTW, who's CW?

I don't know.

What do you mean too few points?

If there's a better fantasy cricket 20-20 World Cup competition, point me to it - all three of us can sign up...

I'll sign up before it starts.

Is it a long assed drawn out sign up process?

Pick some players, choose a 'hilarious' name, job's a good 'un.

Why the irritation?

Just saying, if it had 5-10 points more I could have picked another A grade player.

And this is the only fantasy 20-20 World Cup Competition I know of.

Cool

I'll make a note in my diary that when I have some spare time I must sign up before the 11th

Am i weird for getting excited about the T20 WC (hit and giggle cricket at its best)? It's like 3 games a day at a perfect time to sit back with a beer and fall asleep to

I wasn't irritated in the slightest. Just wondering if you knew of any better competitions that would be worth our while.

NIR? No, it'd be NInonR. Or something...

I'll sign up on the weekend. It might make the 'win the toss, win the match' tournament more interesting.

That'll be my cousin, Fred Boycott. It's a rubbish team isn't it? You're definitely right about the points total limit thingy being too low. He's picked Prior as wicketkeeper.

All right - and then there were four. Slowly but surely...

Just joined up, how come most of you guys have hidden your teams?

So you don't copy us, you cheat.

Daryll Hair was right about you people all along...

Come on why would someone do that? i've got every confidence in my team.

Personally, my team's hidden because I'm slightly embarrassed of it...

oooh i wouldnt take that mak. just joined too

lol @ doremi, joginder sharma, rohit sharma....they have to actually play to accumulate points ya know

hmmm...forgot about afridi!

hey Ash will Chawla be in the Indian 20/20 team?

And then there were six.

Mak, myself I didn't know I had. I commented earlier about my team being rubbish because I thought everyone could see it.

It took me 2 hours to find the team point limit so I don't fancy going back to make changes until the Kiwis get knocked out and I lose half my team.

I only found out about the team point limit once I'd spent all my money on batsmen.

Just made do with rubbish bowlers - 20-20's not a bowlers game anyway.

Are you ever going to out yourself "Geoff"? Who were you?

You have Schofield in your team too!

not sure, harbhajans probably a safer bat. chawla can bat though so my guess is both will play

And then there were seven.

At this rate, we'll have 42 members by the time the competition starts...
