The Telegraph have launched their fantasy cricket game for the summer months and this site will be supporting players again. The game is being run by a different company, so there's a new managers office (see the links box for both old and new). The scoring remains 100% factually based, plus they've added several new bonus opportunites for one-day matches which improves the viability of players who shine at the short form. Wickets and Stumpings have gone up 5 points each too and you can choose between 5 batsmen and 1 all rounder or 4 batsmen and 2 all rounders. In addition to the main league (prizes now down to 10th) and super leagues they have the runs, wickets and ducks side-competitions plus two brand new ones focussing purely on the Friend's Provident Trophy and then the Twenty20 Cup. Because of the FPT competition TFC starts a week earlier this season (so you don't miss the bank holiday one-day matches). You can select teams now ready to start scoring on April 29th.

Under site resources (in the links box to the right) you'll find the county cricket fixture grid showing who plays (or misses) each week. The TFC 2008 button on the left takes you to the traditional player points pages where figures under columns A and B are for the first two weeks of the season (we're in week B now). Other statistics are planned as the season progresses, so watch this space.
