Ashes 2009 Pointscore - Results After the Second Test: Big changes across the board, as the Poms go one up.
Shane Watson will play in the next test and I will zoom up the league!

Kevin Pieterson is gone and Flintoff is falling apart. I will zoom down the league!

Just to point out how weird things are - Mitchell Johnson is in the top three pointscorers for the Aussies after two tests, and they are thinking about dropping him.
I suppose he scores because his batting has been good, and we don't count runs against for bowlers. Maybe we need to fiddle with the scoring system.

ah yes, I am aiming for that rare NHL-cricket double. (just got back from the boondocks so haven't been keeping track but I'd rather Strauss racked it up in a losing cause)

So that's now Pieterson gone, Flintoff on half a leg and Hughes dropped.
Do I win anything if by the end of the fifth test none of my six players are on the field?
There should be some online-gaming-style achievement for such a thing.

The best two in each team count, Mr B, so you're still scoring. Half a Freddy is better than none.
