    Brought KDB in but did not Captain, as leading Mini L (C) is on Salah, so even if KDB does something, I'll have some involvement (same for many here), but for those chasing and with the armband on KDB, it's squeaky bum time for both Salah and KDB captains, could be a shift in Mini Leauge leader boards (if close). Good luck n hope it's a Hauuuuul
