At 2359 points my overall rank is 2987. Take it that’s very good as at least few million geeks play Fantasy Cricket.

Today, before the start of the England-New Zealand game, my rank in the highly competitive Bored Cricket Crazy Indians league was 5, and I was left with 3 transfers.

No Englishman, and just Elliott at 80000 bucks. Of course I drop him for Morgan, make Morgan trump and get lost.

Prior to this, Johnson was my trump who took no part in yesterday’s game versus rain and India. Straight away a good few hundred points lost there.

Anyway, I return, after a jaunt round the place, discover much to my dismay, the Elliott-Morgan transfer did not take place.

Aside: Meanwhile Elliott takes his second wicket.

Yeah, so it was something to do with the combination not allowed, here’s what’s allowed:

1. 4 Batsmen, 2 Allrounders, 1 Wicketkeeper(s), 4 Bowlers
2. 5 Batsmen, 1 Allrounders, 1 Wicketkeeper(s), 4 Bowlers
3. 4 Batsmen, 3 Allrounders, 1 Wicketkeeper(s), 3 Bowlers

So where am I? Johnson as Trump, but he’s not even playing.

Elliott is, and he continues to take wickets as I write this. One of the reasons he is taking wickets is because I write this.

I ask you, cricinfo people, if you are real, and not some fantasy, to include Elliott as my trump. It may cause a minor upset in the Bored league, and I’m all for that.

Damn: Elliott takes another wicket. That's his third, and England are seven down.

Convinced, if I continue to write, Elliott will take the next three, and then take some in the nets. But what good is that for me?


PS: Elliott is the only player, either Kiwi or Pom who is part of the Naked Cricket team, it is but natural for him to be the trump player.
