OVAL WORLD FANTASY CRICKET LEAGUE 2012
Monday 30 April (as at
29 April) - This time last year I was ninth. I said it
couldn't last and I was almost right - I ended up finishing
13th - so don't be concerned that my team has taken an early
lead ...and before anyone cries "fix" here's the proof that my team
was picked the day before deadline day:

It's a
snapshot of my Twitter account.
Tuesday 22 May (as at
21 May, including the 1st Test v West Indies)
- It's a case of "as you were" for the top two - yours truly
and Jamie Dowling. It's a similar story for Nigel Sharp and
Ann Millington-Jones, who are now fourth and sixth
respectively. But the dark horses appear to be Chris Payne and
Andy Woodhouse. Chris is up from sixth to third, while Andy
has risen eight places to lie fifth.
Tuesday 12 June (as at
11 June, including the 3rd Test v West Indies)
- No change in the top three, but a change of leader, with
Jamie's Cherry Pie Chuckers overtaking Depeche Modi.
The big mover has been Jean Galsworthy's Rosebery Ramblers,
who have made up five places to sit fourth going into the T20
break. Richard Budden also has some cause to celebrate - his
team has climbed from 15th to 8th.
Tuesday 24 July (as at
23 July, including the 1st Test v South Africa)
- This time, it's a case of no change in the top four, all of
whom hold their positions. Jamie's grip on top spot has
tightened, though. What was a lead of 16.2 points over Depeche
Modi is now a 28.7-point advantage.
Tuesday 14 August (as
at 13 August) - Jamie Dowling's
Cherry Pie Chuckers remain out in front. It's also case of "as
you were" with my side. However, Jean Galsworthy's Rosebery
Ramblers are playing with real purpose. With Jean moving up to
third, Chris Payne drops to fourth. For a side on the rise,
look no further than Leigh Jones's Coaches Galore, who were
30th going into the last week of May.
Saturday 1 September
(as at 31 August) - With my side
starting to show signs of fatigue, Rosebery Ramblers have
leapfrogged Depeche Modi to go second; just 7.5 points behind
the leaders, the Cherry Pie Chuckers. Also catching the eye at
this critical stage is Grahame Cove's team, Jason Roy Lewis,
who are up four places to number six. Meanwhile, the battle
for the wooden spoon appears to be between Chris Levitt, Dave
Taylor and Nick Wheeler.
Sunday 15 September
(Final Standings) - Beginner's luck?
Who knows? Either way, Jamie Dowling has carried off the title
at the first attempt, in spite of a late push by Jean
Galsworthy's team. As for my side, Depeche Modi, at least I
can say it was never lower than third. Last year's winner,
David Barker, finished fifth, just below another perennial
high achiever, Ann Millington-Jones. Thanks to everyone who
entered this year. It would seem the popularity of the OWFCL
is as strong as ever.
