h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I haven't a clue how my lot are faring I'll have a hunt around the cricket websites this afternoon ... Somebody must be doing okay, surely?

Here you go, FB:

Jacques: 19 runs
Tresco: 70
Taylor: 55
Bopara: Not playing
Pietersen: Ditto
Wharf: 40 not out and 1-54 (but unfortunately in a friendly, so no points)
Read: 16 no, 1 stumping and 2 catches
Gillespie: 123no (!), 1 catch
Clough: Not playing
Lewis and Panesar: Ditto

I make that about 20 points so far

(I'm not doing this every day... )

And there was me hoping you'd do it for all of us, on a daily basis, wikkit by wikkit, run by run

I'm working on the RSS feed now

Good to see my Captain played a Captian's innings yesterday to secure the team's first Century of the season.

FB a good place to check is http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/scorecards/default.stm

then look at the Scorecards of the games your players on in if you want to keep a daily tag on how they are all doing.

Thank you Skanks (If I send more s and s and es, will you do that at least once a week for me?

And thank you DD ... I'd found the BBC website, but not the scorecards

County Cricket just doesn't get onto the radar here at all Mind you, there's bucketloads of other sport, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. However, I'm not doing Fastasy Footie, or Fantasy Diving, or Fantasy AFL, or Fantasy Bowls

Why were so many of my players not playing? Is it because half of them are in the Windies? Not a problem for much longer then

And my keeper has just recorded my teams second ton in the first round of matches.

The other place you can look for a summary is http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/scores/live.html - it gives slightly more than the current score so you don't need to go and find the scorecard if your player is currently batting.

I can't quite believe my team's performance so far...

Cheers for that Andy I just went to that and refreshed to find my Spinner move from 2-3 wickets for the day.

It would appear that my all-rounders are just about preventing a complete disaster now. My job's safe for another week.

Performance of the day might just be Alfredo's Justin Langer, whose 303 not out for Somerset against Middlesex nets him a whopping 21 points. It was a cracking innings, too

Sorry, FB - Bopara, Pietersen and Panesar are in the Caribbean - any point they get on Sunday will be added to your score for the ProPhortyPhifty league.

Wharf and Lewis are both playing friendly matches, so they're not really missing games - their Counties just aren't involved in any competitive matches yet.

Clough has presumably been dropped

Incidentally, I'll be trying to update the league at least once a week through the season anyway. You can still send the and es and es, though...

If you went to the Somerset game on Friday, i'm sure you got an amazing deal, whatever you paid

Played Justin!!!

(Is he the bargain of the season??)

Early days, AM

Thanks for the link me[andy}g
My afternoon is now sorted

Darn just totted up my points for the week so far and I'm one catch over 42.

Hurrah.

Lance strikes.

I'm off the mark. Bit of catching up to do it seems.

Bah! 49 runs. Lumby might have tried a little harder.
