Yes.

I told you it was flawed.

At least for the Twenty20 WC we'll have a better idea of how many points is a good guide.

Well, nothing, seeing as no-one bothered with it past the first week, and it was pretty flawed to be honest.

It'll be back for the Twenty20 WC, hopefully.

Concerning the replacements coming in for New Zealand. Are you planning to add them to the list of players?

Not sure how Sledger does it, but he was closest with his score predictor. He guessed 44, Slazenger the leaders have 48.50.

He actually all but guessed Puma's (his manufacturer) score: 45

No-one picked Hodge as top batsman though.

Further updates here

Oh!!  I misunderstood the rules then.  Thought your player had to be one that used your manufacturer's bat.  Even so, I stand by my pick.

It doesn't matter - you can pick any player regardless of what bat they use.

Here's a score update, but bear in mind that not everyone has played so they are a bit skewed:

Puma 22.17 points
MRF 19.5 points
Gray Nicolls 9.96
Hunts County 9.5
Kookaburra 9.19
Woodworm 2.67
Slazenger 1.6

oh right, I thought it meant runs, can I change it to 20


that's only my own interpretation of it, I could be way wrong
