kryogen

Ill sign up...................whenever they send me a confirmation e mail that is!

Dozen Wicked Words

I also will sign up when I get my confirmation email, someone has to finish last after all.

TheDrog

I have one of you signed up anyway

riffmongous

Yeah count me in, I love these games

kryogen

I still didnt get an e mail from them so......

TheDrog

odd, I got an immediate reply. Will add more people tonight. Can't access it from college computers

Cremated

Hey just added Luk0tehIrish into the league, can't wait for it to start ...

Did you check your spam? Sometimes these kinds of emails can end up in there

kryogen

yup, emailed their support too

riffmongous

That's strange, usually these things are just automated to send straight away. I'd say your best bet would be to just try it again rather than wait to hear back from support. Or use a different email address if you have one

TheDrog

have already had to make a change to my team, Hussey out Watson in. Suspect with the news about Eoin a few others will be following suit.

votelawrence

I'm in, c'mon the caersws cerberus!

dfx-

The D/Ls are looking to calculate their way to their top...:)

Dozen Wicked Words

A laugh? This is deadly serious. Going to be a decent sized league though, fair play for setting it up (know its not difficult, but still :pac:)

mikeruurds

Joined - Saffa Knights. Luckily I could pick Saffas from a few teams and then I threw in a few other players that may actually make it to the final

TrueDub

I'm in - team name is BEU.

TheDrog

Plenty of teams entered now so should be very competitive

rusty_racer94

My team is MightTanks. I think you'll have to accept it.

reb73

Just joined the league - Thicken Chikkas . Should be fun!

xzid

Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies are gonna win this league :P

Are you sure you put the right code in? No Thicken Chikkas in the league or waiting to join.

MrKingsley

On the waiting list now- Asif they were no ball to order.

Not sure if im going to be able to keep up with all the captain and player changes. All my team bar 1 will have played by sunday evening

mikeruurds

Nice knock by Viru. Wish I had him as captain rather than the little master. Anyone have Sehwag as captain?

jimmynippy

I do,:)

Actually, think I might have missed out confirming the enrollment in the league. Apologies..

Showing up in pending members now!

TheDrog

you're in now

Cheers and yay, straight to the top of the league (for the time being at least!).

With Watto (my captain) top scoring and likely to chip in with a wicket or two, hopefully will stay there for at least 24 hours..:D

TheDrog

53 people in the league now are there even 53 people posting here?

I was looking through the list in the League and was thinking that myself, ...

Dozen Wicked Words

Fairly sure there are people with a couple of teams, unless the cricket forum is going to get a whole lot busier!

TheDrog

could also be random people typing numbers in and seeing if they get accepted

Dozen Wicked Words

Well the Boards league is obviously the place to be seen!

g5fd6ow0hseima

I dont post in here - i posted a handful of times in the past - but I joined anyways as I dont post on any cricket forums.

Also, putting in ten Doeschate as an all rounder has paid off.

im going to be a little baby here and ask if all the people in the league even have a boards.ie account...

Dozen Wicked Words

Well I think at least 32 of them should be banned whether they have boards accounts or not.

riffmongous

It's definitely made it more competitive, finishing last out of 7 or 8 would have been a been a bit of a laugh, but being last out of 57 would be humiliating And 39th is a bit too close at the moment

TheDrog

I was talking to someone who runs this for the football365 forum and the same things has been happening there, large numbers of people randomly joining

The other thing to remember is that most of these people have used up half their transfers already and so second half points will drop

rich1987

Dont post much but have put in a team

dfx-

Bowling is keeping us off the bottom at the minute...Afridi 245, Southee, Gul, Zaheer..with a good contribution from McCullum as WK

Batting is yet to fire with Raina, Gayle, Amla and Ryder yet to bat...

g5fd6ow0hseima

im gutted as I had Gayle captain - hopefully he can get a wicket or two, but thankfully Darren Bravo is batting well. I put him in my accident yesterday thinking he was Dwayne Bravo!

I'm in one such FFPL league where the league manager/admin removes participants not identifying themselves (but its is also a paid one @€;20 per participant)

It depends on the strategy used, most of the one-sided games tend to be in the earlier part of the group stages when the associate teams are caught cold by the test playing nations, though it doesn't always work that way.

The one that works for me (usually anyway) is to try and keep at least one player from the stronger teams after an initial spree and swap for more players for the current game if necessary (especially when they are playing the minnows). Not a rigid strategy but its working well so far for me

jimmynippy

some of the leaders are in a lot of leagues.Thats commitment for you.I can barely keep watch on one.

g5fd6ow0hseima

yeah and some of them have **** all transfers left. Ive used 13, but im gonna have to stop for a week.
