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

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

    Showing up in pending members 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

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

    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. :)

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

    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

    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

    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...

    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 :D

    I only have 12 transfers left, but I quite happy with my current team. Will have to be very conservative with my transfers over the coming days.

    Putting in Kemar Roach for the Netherlands game paid off for me, but ive lost a lot of points choosing my captain badly.

    Woohoo! Upto the dizzying heights of the top (and 35th overall :D)..

    Just made two changes today - Guptill and Roach both as captains - and struck pay dirt with both of them ending up as MOM in their respective games.

    23 games to go and 13 transfers left, gonna be difficult to hold onto the top spot!

    Can you select two captains?, for example I had Price as my captain but when should I have swapped him for Gayle so they both would have counted?...

    No, you can't have two captains.. You are supposed to change your captains once the coin is tossed in the first game - any changes after that take effect only for the next game.

    I didnt know you could select two captains on a day with 2 fixtures. Pity.. I had Roach alright but I didnt put him captain. Like a bollox I put in Jacob Oram and he didnt even play.

    Anyone else have Dilshan as captain for today's game?

    (144 off 131 balls and 4 wickets for 4 runs off 3 overs + MOM + captain's bonus = a whopping 922 points :D)
