Thanks Ian for conducting this

I missed adding South African player. Mat I add Rabada as SA player.

how is this going to work, Ian?

I'd assumed that it would be my team's total runs scored times total wickets taken, but what if the scores are accumulated on a match by match basis? In that case my 68 runs and 54 runs would have scored me no points had de Kock not taken that one catch

Hadn't realised Steyn's injured, so I'm off to a 0 point start...

That is how it is going to work DFM: accumulative tournament runs multiplied by accumulative tournament wickets

I was just quite pleased with my total from the first match

Anyone with Stokes and de Kock is probably leading so far...

I imagine that is a few of us, but I was pleased to see they did well.

wickets for Holder

Update after first two matches:

GJ off to the best start...

If you spot any errors in my calculations, please let me know

My bowlers have taken five wickets and I have 10 points ....damn these bloody batters

well, something looks a little strange....

Stunning start for GJ.

I thought it was going to be dismissals x runs for individual players in each game so I looked for all rounders and keepers. Not sure if that is an excuse or not.

No, you can't. I basically took that approach as well.

Southee injured and Matthews a duck.

Think I'm destined for the wooden spoon in this comp - can't even name fit players in my 10.

If the scoring had been done that way AC, then there would be cases of ducks cancelling out five-fors and/or centuries left unsupported in the field.

For example: Rohit Sharma's ODI record score of 264 would have worth precisely zero in this game, as he took neither a wicket nor catch in the match.

it would certainly make things interesting, Ian

GJ heads up the WC FL too
