Captain Fantasy's Diary #2

So here's what I've just been told: I have a fresh set of 5 transfers still left to use during the ODIs in the current Eng v SA series. And here I was under the mistaken impression that I had exhausted all my transfers. Actually, I have, but only for the Tests. I've just been under the mistaken impression that six transfers is the limit for the whole series. It is, but only for Tests. Shouldn't there be a little more flexibility?

For instance, shouldn't I be given the option to use my ODI transfers during the Test series if I want to? I need to. I've got no transfers left. There's 2 more Test matches to go. Sidebottom is going to be back. Given the workload he's being saddled with, Flintoff might break down. (Again) Now that the second Test is over and done with. Ntini might be dropped. Nel could come in. And I can't do a fig about any of all this important chopping and changing. But as a committed fantasy player I should be allowed to, no?

So here's what I'm asking myself, and you, why can't I use just one or two transfers from my ODI quota to inject some much needed life into my Test fantasy team? Can not desperate, unskilled, careless players like me be given the leeway to?
