IPL fantasy league

have we got one going this year?

I hate the IPL, but I do enjoy a challenge.


Get on it, Ash.

as the reigning champion it should really be beneath me to set one up. but i shall oblige.

matches kick off this friday

here is the cricinfo league joining code:

how many did we have in last years league?

Can't remember.

But we used to have more than about three forummers that visited this dump back in those days.

The good old days, as they may soon be referenced...

Joined.

Prepare to lose, losers.

well, we have 5 so far. prodigy, smerk, philcric and nolonga.

I'm just going to pick as close to a strong test XI as I can and see how they go.

proof by contradiction?

Go then - I'm in...

Who are the "good" players this year?

The ones that stayed at home and didn't take Modi's dirty cash?

Not many forummers taking part this year?

we're still waiting for Modi cash

Indeed, Horrie.


I'm worried about my IP address in India. Hope it gets the right security.

lol...have the same attitude to IPL fantasy league as I do to Indian call centres.

when I used to get calls from Indian call centres I would firstly say how delighted I was to get the call. I would then advise of my charges for answering the call $10au and my $20per 10 minute rate for listening to their spiel. I would then ask if they had financial delegation to approve the charge and for an invoice number. I would then ask for a supervisor if they could not the invoice number..the supervisor would then realise I was having a lend, swear at me (i guess) and hang up.

the net result was that I stopped getting calls from Bannies

there's 7 of us thus far. first match is at 1430 gmt friday.

Game on.

More mid-table bollocks. Neither a relegator nor a title contender.


The plain Jane of Fantasy leagues.

Crap. You guys have been catching up the last few days. Freaking Pollard has done nothing since he's reached India.

Meh. U 'got lucky' with Jack Kallis so far. Not that it's such a good thing.
