Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Thought I might give this one a go... see if there is any interest


Rules

Pick 11 players, no substitutes allowed

Scoring

Batting

1 point for every run scored
A batsman scoring 50 will receive a 20pt bonus, with another 10pts for every further 50 runs scored
(ie. 50 = 20pts, 100 = 30pts, 150 = 40pts, 200+= 50pts)
A batsman scoring at least 20 runs, will receive.....
10 bonus pts for scoring at a strike rate of 70-79
20 bonus pts for scoring at a strike rate of 80-99
30 bonus pts for scoring at a strike rate of 100-149
40 bonus pts for scoring at a strike rate of 150+

Bowling

20pts per wicket
20 bonus pts for a 3fer
30 bonus pts for a 5fer

A bowler who has bowled at least 3 overs will receive.....
10 bonus pts for an economy rate of <=5.0
20 bonus pts for an economy rate of <=4.0
30 bonus pts for an economy rate of <=3.0

Fielding

10 points per catch or stumping
20 points per run out, or 10 points each, if two players share the responsibility
10 bonus points for 3 contributions with catches, stumpings or run outs.

first match starts 0030 BST on 21st Sept

This is a new FL for us... please note the adjusted scoring system.... similar format to the men's but with lower economies and strike rates to reflect the anticipated lower scores

the Women's National Cricket League is a 50 over domestic competition

7 teams... the usual state sides plus the Australian Capital Territory women (ACT)

each team plays each other once over 3 distinct blocks.... 2 matches each in September, 2 in November, 2 in February plus a grand final, presumably between the top two sides

Am I taking a risk playing so many contracted players ahead of the international matches?

I've worked on the theory that international players may miss big chunks of this comp. Helpfully, the squad lists show who the CA players are, which makes a refreshing change

Surely they'll need some kind of warm-up?
