Nothing much has changed since the last round except @Undisciplined's coming from the back train has halted, it seems. @User21000000 is still leading but there's not much difference and at least 3 Stackers are tied on 2nd place. The round 10 (last round) result will be out very soon and we'll have the winner within a few hours. Best of luck everyone.

I'll take it. It's not a round for high scores. 3 is a high score here.

That one was rough! The missing matches didn't help, but it wasn't going to be great either way.

Yes, if the matches had results, many of the Stackers would have got Bingo and I might have got a jumbo. That would have hurt your standings more. So, it's good for you. If you had got 3 points, only then you should moan these cancelled or no result matches. For you it's good.

2 points. Not bad considering two games weren’t played. Things are looking up for me.

Yes, we did better than @Undisciplined and @Golu and that's really a plus for both of us.

As you may have heard on the pod my daughter will be taking over my picks for CricZap in January. Having her pick big bash was a little tough as she didn’t get the concept of picking one team out of four games instead of just picking the winners to each game. Let’s see if she can do better than me in January and then I will revisit my strategy come February.

I wish you all the best. I'm pretty sure she'll predict better than all others. Kids can do it. From the next year I'll also apply your strategy for my daughter will at least answer me which one to pick out of two.
