Fantasy Cricket - Gameweek 3

16 Jun 2023

The weekend of the 10th / 11th of June saw our first double game week of the season and it’s made a big impact on the standings for the fantasy league.

A massive 106 hall from bargain T. Simmons (50p) against Arkley, in his second game of the season has shown why the 16 people who took a punt on him, why it was such a worthy gamble. Steady points from everyone in the game, saw the first time this season that no individual has blanked. A.J picking up 45points for his bowling performance against Arkley was a great sight for those 7 teams that had selected him.

Sunday saw 5 Reporters turn out again for their second fixture of the weekend. With openers John Knappett (42) and Danny Mills (46) falling just short of the 10 bonus points for a 50, it needed a tidy spell of bowling from Danny Mills 8 – 3 – 13 – 0 to pick up the games highest points scored (71), just pipping the clubs allrounder Dave Simmons who hit 67 points after picking up 3 wickets and 2 catches.  

The top point scorer for the weekends double game week fell to Tom Simmons, although he only played the one game. Singly owned asset Paul Lewis picked up a huge 89 points and rewarded his only owner Mark Walton enough points to see his MW3 team (625) take top of the table. Dyslexia Untied still following second (589) and Big Boy Jones (585) falling into third. AJ continues to be the biggest point scorer (268) for the season but now falls to second in the table for points per game (67) behind Ben Candy (70) which might be the only reason for him to look at the table as his team 257 ALL Out currently sat rock bottom of the table on 130 points
