Re: Fantasy IPL 2009 Indeed, since taking on me as a special adviser Turps' climb has been dramatic.

However, Turps' captain is unlikely to make the semis so he will have to use the 9 subs to get his captain out of his team.

Not at all. I don't think it's worth changing at this stage. If he uses the 9 subs on other players, he could probably realistically score around 90 points from those subs. For a new captain to score 90 points, he'll have to have 2 pretty good games when you consider a 50 is only 20 points (40 when doubled), and that's assuming he gets the chance of a second game. Turps will be better off just holding Duminy.
Can't believe I'm inside the top 600 out of 3500, and I'm still second bottom (effectively bottom as Shearsy clearly hasn't changed his team from day 1).
Re: Fantasy IPL 2009 Nath, I'm not necessarily saying he should do that but its an option. Looking at what I have written it does sound like I am saying thats what he should do. However, if he has something like 18 subs left and with only 8 games left of the competition, it might be worthwhile considering it.

Turpin's captain won't make the semi, there's no unlikely about it. I reckon it's gonna be a close finish. Turps has said to me that he won't change his captain, mine probably has 3 games left.
Re: Fantasy IPL 2009 I'm backing Turps' better cricket knowledge plus the fact that he's been off sick so is watching all the games and knows who's in form etc !!
