Thanks guys - the competition is appreciated.   I am watching the cricketing disaster in PE.   Time for major team changes there.   Lions updated. ,

Mulder is out to for 9 runs - at least better than the combined effort from Elgar, Amla and Bavuma combined.   Hit two beautiful 4's but was trapped LBW,  Score now 145  for 6

Orc's now you have both Markram and Mulder to attack.

The useless Stormers Updated.

Mike dont forget to update your Total Rankers teams.

FD

I normally do updating only when all teams are updated.   

ABF

Is there any way you can help us in getting the Jaguares team?

they are always late,..... and many times they make their line-up public once it's already night here, in Euro pe, or in SA,.... meaning that some european or SA sites don't publish it untill the next day

but I'll check their website from now on

ABF

I also check their website regularly.   Last year they used to have the team on site at about 18:00 SA time - but in the two games this year it did not happen.   Will check later again. .   

and here it is,...
