Just a quick recap this week, its too hot, to write. My ice cream is melting, and Gazza is not coming back round my way. So, I’ll dictate and hope AI understands my accent and humour – if anything is amiss, random, or just not funny - that’s not me. I’m just going to concentrate on the stats from the fantasy league week as we are now a third of the way through, so here we go.
The Team standings are taking shape, Kya Ladd sits proudly at the top for a second week running but who is that closing in, now up to second, it’s the silent assassin in Harry Robinson. He looks like he’s pacing himself this year, keeping a low profile but is he making a bid for top spot too early – time will tell. Tharun has been in the top 4 all season and currently sits third. Keep an eye on him!
The Manager of the Week was Freddie Robinson with 351, which was pretty decent considering the average score was a fairly modest 214. If you scored higher than that, well done. The race for Manager of the Month is currently a two-horse race between Mohit Bhagwani and Michael Edwards with both over the 1,000-point mark already with 2 weeks to go in June.
Player points were hard to come by this week with steady scoring rather than high scoring. Mohit wins Player of the Week with 106 points following his fine half century. He quite rightly made it into the team of the week taking his place alongside 6 players from the 3XI and 4 from the 4XI. Cheeky little stat for you, the Teams of the Week have been made up with 11 players from the 1XI, 10 from the 2XI and then 21 and 24 from the 3XI and 4XI respectively.
Sam Stannard continues to dominate the Team of the week making his 4th appearance, followed by 4 players with 3 appearances. Maybe next season we should have a “Stanford le Hope Cricket Club Fantasy League Player with the most appearances in the Team of the Week award”. I’ll let someone else ask the engraver for that one.
Here’s one more cheeky one for you, even cheekier than the one above – no names though but there was one Fantasy League Manager last week who tripled captained someone who then scored minus 20 meaning an incredible minus 60, that could be a first and I’m quite sure I didn’t nominate this player as one to watch.
Ok, shall we call it quits there? That’s me over and out, see you Friday mwah mwah….
