Cricket season

Thanks for the confidence CnC, but the ONLY way that I can come out tops, is IF my Captain scores me big x3 AND Maxwell comes to the party and doesn't try that stupid reverse sweep. Nevertheless a thoroughly enjoyable time was had pitting ones predictions against each other.

Maxwell also bowls and gets the odd catch and run out so more than makes up for runs not likely scored...

Agree with the sentiments of your last sentence...been fun...and may the luckiest Clanner on the day enjoy their trip to some exotic island...

Morning CnC,I believe that Conway is out of the final with a broken hand,are those of us that selected him able to replace him in our team selection ?

Morning Felix yes off course both you and tnaicker must be a Kiwi batsman as you both have a full compliment of Aussies left

@cnc and @Felix...many thanks for bringing this up...I'll have to go with Mitchell to replace Conway as the top 2 (@craig and @yoginaden) have Williamson and Guptill and I cannot get ahead of them by matching them...

Conway was playing as a wicketkeeper. New Zealand will either use Serfeit or Phillips as their wicketkeeper now therefore his replacement should be a wicketkeeper.

Will leave it to @cnc to make call on Conway replacement...

All the best to fellow Clanners for the final...has been fun...some astute judges of cricket talent out there...a little bit of luck also but winner will deserve their mantle...

Many thanks to @cnc for running the competition with his trustworthy Dominion calculator...he may just still be in it with a flood of late points !!

As Conway was chosen in the NZ side as a batsman he should stay as a batsman He only played WK because NZ changed their tactics So his replacement should be a batsman. I see your point naresh. Livingstone was chosen as a batsman by England yet turned out to be one of their better bowlers if you see my point.

I will replace Conway with Guptill

Williamson has put NZ in a great position..a captain's innings when it matters...runs on the board creates pressure...Aus bat some way down the order but even the best can whittle under presure...

Going to be a great chase...well done to fellow Clanners with Williamson and him as captain a well...

Runs on the board is vital in the final. Hoping for the Black Caps to win.

As for the competition, Craig already as one hand on the trophy. The engraver is starting to etch his name!!!!
