There are no winners here
by Andrew Bayley
It is with incredible sadness that I write this post. I could not bring myself to sit down and type it until now. In fact, I could not bring myself to get out of bed for a few days afterwards. Depression had hit hard. I kept telling myself that it could have worse somehow, but deep down inside, I knew this was a lie. The World Cup has drawn to a close, once more sending dejected and despairing South Africans into a deep, dark slump.
It was only today; 4 days after Australia ruined another World Cup for the rest of the world, and a week after our hopes, the hopes of a nation, were smashed like a dropped wine glass on the concrete floor of ineptitude that anybody bothered to check who had actually won the “Bloggers Fantasy Cricket League.”
The short answer is Grant. First the SA Blog Awards logo design competition, and now the Fantasy League. Although this time he is looking more dejected than smug.
And so, for anyone who has recovered from the shock, anguish, and general feeling of hopelessness, here are the results and points for the top 5:
- Grant McLachlan 6636
- Andrew Evans 6347
- Scott Gray 6311
- Nic Ray 6258
- Jean du Plessis 6131
