ONLY four players retain their places in the team of the week – Liam Bones, who overtakes Chris Barrow as the leading player – Stephen Hodgkinson, Oliver Newby and Phil Ingram.

Horwich are the only club with two players in the team.

They are joined by Tush De Zoyza as professional, Dave Flannagan, Imran Mirza, Dave Mather, Connor Lord, Yasir Rashid and wicketkeeper Jake O’Byrne.

For the second week it is the bowlers and bowling all-rounders who are filling the top positions.

At the top Bones holds a six-point lead over Barrow, with Adil Nisar the top professional, seven points adrift of Barrow.

Tom Billington, in 32nd place, is the leading specialist batsman, but as the games were affected by the weather for the second week maybe matches of a full 100 overs duration will start to benefit the batsmen.

The Bolton News has teamed up with the Bolton Cricket League run this super Fantasy Cricket competition.

And, thanks to sponsor Anthony Axford timber merchants of Farnworth, there is a £400 prize on offer to the winner.

Points are awarded to the players depending on how well they perform in the 18 league games, and the winning entrant will be the one who amasses the most points throughout the season.

The competition is based on the MVP (Most Valuable Player) statistics from the electronic scoring system CricHQ.

Entrants have selected five players from the Premier Division and five from the Association Division plus one professional from either division.

The game runs throughout the Bolton League season and every Thursday an updated table is in The Bolton News website and on our website.
