Fantasy Cricket 2017 – Week Ten (by Ian Hewson)
So the second half has started – just 2 teams in action thanks to Bagborough, with 3s winning and the 1s having a tough week.
Aks Latifi consolidates top spot and takes the lead for Manager of the Month, while the two Sparks keep up the chase. Trev Brooks starts to leave Luke Desave stranded at the bottom.

Players
Weekly
Overall a bad week for bowlers and a low scorer in total – the exception being Alex Sparks hitting a phenomenal 58 points – though he did take a leaf out of Chief Bottler Ben Evett’s book and fell two runs short of his landmark – those two runs cost him 20 points…
| Player Name | Score | |
| 1 | A Sparks | 58 |
| 2 | S Burrough | 28 |
| 3 | O Beale | 19 |
| 4 | Ri Henwood | 16 |
| 5 | C Burrough | 14 |
| 6 | T Fyfe | 9 |
| 7 | L Desave | 5 |
| 8 | M Campbell | 5 |
| 9 | D Luxton | 4 |
| 10 | B Evett | 3 |
Overall
Biggest change is Alex Sparks flying up the table due to his 98 runs, slotting in 7th spot. Oli Beale is the only other big mover, going up 3 places, with the rest of the top 10 remaining similar.
| Player Name | Score | |
| 1 | T Trott | 194 |
| 2 | L Desave | 180 |
| 3 | R Moysey | 158 |
| 4 | O Beale | 142 |
| 5 | I Hewson | 138 |
