WHAT IS FANTASY CRICKET?
Telegraph Fantasy Cricket (TFC) invites you, the manager, to pick an imaginary team of eleven cricketers. The players you choose score points for you depending on their batting, bowling and fielding performances during the cricket season from April 30 until September 27, 2008.
You can make changes to your team throughout the competition, replacing under-performing players with those you think will score more points for your team.
The aim of the game is to score the highest number of points you can. The more points your team accumulates, the better your chances of winning one of the many cash prizes
