OVAL WORLD FANTASY CRICKET LEAGUE 2011

Tuesday 10 May (as at 8 May) - Blimey I'm ninth - can the season end now?! But seriously... Mick Shaw takes the early lead, a full 10 points ahead of his nearest rival, who is last year's winner Brian Cowley. David Barker makes up the leading trio.
Friday 3 June (as at 2 June, including 1st Test v Sri Lanka)
- It's almost a case of all change at the top with just three teams holding on to a place in the top seven. David Barker and Mick Shaw swap berths, but now, sandwiched snuggly in-between, at two, is last summer's runner-up Chris Payne. Predictably, the league manager's side has found its level... at 17th spot!
Monday 4 July (as at 3 July, including 3rd Test v Sri Lanka)
- David Barker is still in possession of the number one spot, but Bill Bateman - who climbs five places - has shaved David's lead to just 2.3 points. That said, just 8.4 points separates first from Mick Shaw's Lukesmile in seventh.
Tuesday 26 July (including 1st Test v India)
- For the first time this season the lead hasn't changed hands. David Barker remains top, but there's now a 16-point gap between him and the new second placed team Phil's Phools, who have climbed three places.
Sunday 28 August (as at 27 August, including 4th Test v India)
- The same top three, but Jim Forrest and Phil Garrard's teams have swapped 2nd for 3rd at vice versa. David Barker's Comics now lead by nearly 23.7 points. Is it theirs to lose with three rounds of championship matches to go? One team to keep an eye on is Rob Lewis's Oval The Bars, who have moved up from 11th to fourth.
Saturday 17 September (final standings)
- The closing weeks of the season saw many changes of position, except at the top where David Barker's Comics maintained their advantage to lift the title. But Rob Lewis moved up from fourth to second and Ann Millington-Jones climbed from ninth to third. Sadly for Jim Forrest, his team, which had always been there or thereabouts, ran out of steam to claim fourth. As for me, 2011 was a vintage year - 13th place. I would certainly have settled for that at the outset.
