The Cricket World Cup is starting Sunday 09/02/2003.I understand a lot of you do not care much for cricket and that is just fine with me.I do however believe there are quite a few people at RHP who will be following the World Cup closely.

Please join the RHP League at http://bbccricket.fantasyleague.co.uk
Register and give me your PIN.I will then include you in the league.

It will be fun and it is free.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is involved in being in the league? I take it this is a tipping thing?

You register at the site.Then pick a team.Your players then score points by taking wickets,scoring fifty runs etc. in the WC.The winner will have the best players check out the site.

Right, I'm in. I know nothing about cricket, and my team was picked largly at random. I'll probably spend the next few months trying to work out which are my players, and why they're walking off the field so soon. This could force me to actually learn the rules πŸ™‚

Anyway, my PIN is : 239382

you're all going down (to the pub)

You are in Jon.You have a pretty good team there Jon.You might however want to look at that Bangar fellow.Never heard of him and he might not play in too many matches.

Looking forward to going down to the pubπŸ˜€

Yes the Zimbabwe situation is ridiculous.No one in his right mind can condone what is happening there.I love cricket,I am South African,the WC is in SA.I am excited.

Now,visit the site.It is free ask around.It will be fun because life is what you make of it.

I know I'm losing our group (just you wait, I've got plans), and I also know that 57,000 other people who are playing are also beating me. How are you other players fairing in the national rankings?
