Question. Are we using the 2011 T20 squads? Or waiting for the 2012 squad. Sussex signed Scott Styris for 2012, so I need to know an answer of some sort.

2012 surely

The "It's Grim Up North" League

Harsh

Thought you'd like it Marshy

2012 squads Marky

May need someone to help me out if i want anyone in the auction for the wednesday, have a long away game and then usually busy wednesday evenings

Thats fine Hodge, after we announce the names available on wednesday pm either of us with your top bid for that player and we'll bid for you

One of us will sort it!

sainty, gregers already said it was sorted

What's your point, caller?

cricketfan90 wrote:sainty, gregers already said it was sorted

Do you think if anyone minds the auction being open to 9 at night? Some people can't post until 4 apparently

on most days i cant marshall, im back in the office today so i can, but most of the days im not in the office.

It's open till 9 so everyone can participate, even I'm affected in the day time.

Still a bit confused as to why I was just chastised for offering Hodge help though...

i wasnt chastising you, i was just saying that gregers had already said its sorted

kool when doesit start

ive been looking for this page for ages and couldnt find it lol

Within the next week or so, cherries.

A quick question Gregers:

Why do Kent (quarter-finalists), Leics (winners) and Unicorns (made up of 3 teams who did better than Northants) from last year's real life T20 get more money than my Northants side, who were hopeless? I'm not really that bothered, and am looking forward to the challenge, but I know Kent with Azhar, Stevens, Key, Wahab, G. Jones and some good youngsters are a better squad than Northants in the short form. Leics is more debatable on paper but they are champions.

shelsey you make a very good point there

+1

Thats an oversight Shelsey, Northants are in the extra money group too.

Sorry for that

We've based it on the squads as they are.

Leicestershire, whilst being Champs, have lost a number of good players and the only notable talent who'd get into the top teams are Razzaq and Sarwan.

Leics, Kent and Northants will receive the extra amount, the unicorns will receive more again.

Thanks

Guys, as you will see I have called the sub-section '606v2 fantasy league pavilion'. Within this is contained 2 further sub-sections: 1 keeping details of last years IPL, the 2nd being for the EPL, so please post all EPL related posts in that sub-section.

Please give me a few days to move all of the old IPL threads in to the IPL sub-section, and then the main space will be free for general fantasy league discussion.

Hope that's satisfactory, any problems give me a shout.

Thanks.

Shall be fun this hopefully won't screw warwickshire over too much

My team page is done!

Team page up! Cannot wait for this to start now!

Ha, you better not Nando

I have faith in you!

Gregers, Sainty.

As discussed a week or 2 back, I've built an Excel spreadsheet to generate a list of injured players each round. It just needs to have squad lists pasted into it, and a decision on the probability of a player being injured (I've gone with 5% initially, i.e. on average a player will miss 1 game in 20 which means teams will probably have 1 or 2 squad members injured each match).

Once the squads are in, each round you enter a new "seed" number (I'd suggest getting someone in the comp to pick a number between 1 and 999,999) when the round is set up.

Drop me a PM and we can arrange sending you both copies of it.

Kiwi that sounds great mate

Top stuff Kiwi!

Just to give you an idea of what it looks like

Spoiler:

That is awesome Kiwi, do you want to be in charge of injuries for us?

Gregers wrote:That is awesome Kiwi, do you want to be in charge of injuries for us?

Can do

We'll have to make sure the player lists are kept up-to-date in it, but otherwise it should work fairly well. I've deliberately set it up so that anyone with a copy of the spreadsheet can plug in the same "seed" number, and get an identical result (can you tell I've been dealing with auditors lately).

according to the wikipedia page Van Der Merwe is still listed, anyone know what to do with that as i also have Phillander, Morkel and Gayle. I THINK they're trying to see if they can keep him under kolpak but i'm not entirely sure.

Can someone check my side is right cos on wikipedia it's much different to the actual warwickshire site

My advice to everyone would be to use the Counties website as a guide, probably more correct.

dors have to step down, some work(well at lot of work) has caught up with me

can u stick me on sum sort of waitng list?

Van Der Merwre is on the Somerset CCC site ???

Sainty wrote:My advice to everyone would be to use the Counties website as a guide, probably more correct.

I would say that would, in most cases, be no more or less reliable than Wikipedia. Use the squads you find on Wiki/club sites and then make changes based on the county ins and outs page on the BBC or elsewhere.

Okay Hampshire are now vacant. So we need someone to take them over as well!

I will take over Hants as they were my 4th choice IIRC with Durham 5th.Someone else can take charge of Durham.

Shanks can you stay with Durham please, I think its going to be easier to find someone for hants
