Fantasy Cricket Week 10

I'm unbelievably early this week as the scoresheets were up in a crisp and timely fashion, but it gives you more time to consider changes you need to make - and some of you really need to make them !

In the MVP race for the week Rob Walters put on a bit of a spurt - which is not pretty and not something to think about before your tea, but he romped (equally unappealing) to the top of the list on 11 points; three ahead of Neels the Bergher eater (after his performance at the barbecue on Saturday night). Ross Clark, Hairy Mason, and Brownie followed close behind on 7 after Ross learned to catch; Hairy learned to bat; and Brownie learned to bowl.

With regards the Fantasy side of life - the Current Mrs Thorne (aka Jackie or the CMT) - won by a mile after playing her birthday joker with impeccable timing. She would have come top anyway, but doubled her score to 92 for the week. Rhys; Todd; and Cranker trundled in with good scores in the 40's but couldn't compete with the minx. We'll never live it down in the Thorne household. We've had football chants; and shouts of "In your face" delivered with an overly pointy finger.

The season to date league is certainly for at least one week A Game of Thornes with the Jackie knocking Bill off top spot for a lead of 7 points. The family theme goes further as they are followed by the Clud of Sturdys, with Todd 15 points ahead of Adam. The next two are Hairy Mason and Jon Dean who may well be related but neither will own up to it for obvious reasons
