Congratulations to the VVinners of the the County Championship edition of the fantasy game. For the moment, the only prize we can offer you is pride of place in this post and the promise that we'll have some cool prizes in our future editions. (And we do for the upcoming India v Australia edition of the fantasy series.)
Sooner, rather than later, we'll have rewards for all the top performers that go beyond verbal kudos and virtual 'pats on back'. Until then, please put your hands together for the stellar performers in the league and put your heads together to try and unravel what is it about them that makes them better than the rest of us at fantasy cricket.

The question is not what makes us better than the rest of you at Fantasy Cricket but why the biggest cricket website in the world with all of it's subscribers, followers and sponsers can't put it's hands in it's pocket for a few prizes. After saying for some months now that 'sooner rather than later well have rewards for the top performers' we have agian been left with a mention on a blog!!?
Not that I'm bitter (well maybe a bit) but I almost sacrificed my relationship studying the form of the county championship, watching what BOROMAT et al were doing, and not just for a few weeks this started in April remember.
After ranting I feel slghtly purged but also more in need of a reward so get your hands in your pocket Cricinfo.
Ps the secret to my success - it was all down to Rashid (not spelling)
