It was a quiet and disappointing day in terms of points scored in Star Wars.
Sanath Jayasuriya's absence was a big blow to all our league members since he was trump for all. The other common pick, Sachin Tendulkar, who featured in three of the teams, fetched just 15 points.
The only cheer came from AB de Villiers who with his 50 and fielding efforts, mustered up 87 points. However, since he featured in all four teams, it didn't make much of a difference to the overall standings.
Ian is still on top, having broken the 6000-barrier, with Sambit still 443 behind him at No. 2. Sanjay is at No. 3, leading David Lloyd by 133.
