Asia Cup 2008: Meet TheVVinners (MTVV)

The winner of the Asia Cup 2008 Edition of Cricinfo Fantasy Cricket is BigBrown and The Coolies. How politically incorrect is that? You gotta admit, though, it's a pretty clever name. And right here, right now, to it goes the award of The Most Powerful Asia Cup Name Combination (TMPACNC) Trophy.

In second place and third place are AM11 and AMXI and QY74 and SL-I-P 2. one after another.

One Un-important Observation (OUiO): They all had the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in their fantasy teams. The MVP is the winner of the Shane Watson of the Asia Cup Award (SWACAW): In which we don't just look at which cricketer scored the maximum points for their fantasy teams. We also look at what cost.

And The SWACAW goes to SK Raina for racking up a thrilling 726 points at a modest bill of 80,000 Fantasy Monies (FM_). On the basis of the Points(P)/FM_ ratio (PFM) that throws up the MVP, Raina runs away with this Prestigious Award (PA) in the face of stiff competition from Better-known Big Names (BBN) like Sanath Jayasuriya (694)/(105000_), Sangakkara (643)/(105000_) and MS Dhoni (654)/(105000_). Unsuccessfully.

What's Next On The Agenda (WNOTA): Who will win the Shane Watson of the England v South Africa series Award (SWESAW)? (Link)

Before We Go (BWG): Thanks for playing. Hope I didn't bore you with the Numbers and Acronyms (TNA).

Bouquets And Brickbats (BAB): dopppsy AT gmail dot com for all your prizes.

Correctional Faclity (CF) The PFM must factor in the number of matches played. The current PFM doesn't. It thus follows that the current PFM must be divided by the number of matches played to arrive at the new PFM, to determine The player who wins the Shane Watson Followed By Name of Series Award (SWFBNASAW).

Ajantha Mendis 879/80000( No. of matches) is a stronger 'Maxi Performer' than the currently anointed SWACAW holder Suresh Raina.

Thank God for CF. It's a bit like the other CF (Confession box). A place where you can come and correct all your mistakes. Confess your sins. Beg for forgveness. Sorry Ajantha, please don't come after me. Never again will I mess with a black mamba.

DYK? Animal Planet Legend has it, a black mamba attacks humans for fun. Repeatedly. (Rest In Pieces Yuvraj.) Here's your SWACAW sna ... Sir.
