I’ll be sitting down with someone from IT next week and together we’ll explore the site and see if we can find a box to enter this code.

Ooo, cricket porn. I must admit I’d forgotten about this. Have been covered in elephants (and idiots) for the last week or so.

11 days to go… So still plenty of time, but it’s no mean feat picking a team and developing a substitute strategy.

So you have to pick a first up team, but as the countries are put out of the comp you need reserves?

No… You pick a team and then, over the first 21 games, can make 42 transfers (swapping key players in snd out as they play). There is a further 42 transfers over round 2.

There are also a set number of transfers over the finals.

bump for dv…

Bumpty bump

time is running out, but it’s not late…

there is still a chance your fantasy could become a reality

Could I open with Elle Macpherson?

I think you’re on the wrong page.

not bad… but a smart man would have picked two openers…

I’ll get to it before the first game.

She’s facing. I’ve got Miranda Kerr down the other end.

This is not a test match. In the shortened game sometimes you just want someone who can throw it around right from the get go.

It’s a pity Miranda’s pads will be covering her knees. Course, she’d be wearing a skirt so that would pretty well make up for it.

I was going to get Sue Perkins as my opener, but she bats for the other team.
