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

A new season and two new div 2 counties in Kent and Lancs. One will go straight back up I think, but not both. Who wouldn't want to be a part of it all?

Rules

Pick 11 players from this division. No substitutes are allowed so choose wisely. Any players going out on loan to other counties will only continue to be awarded points if they play for a team in the same division

Scoring

Batting

1 point per run.
+10 for a score of 50.
+10 for every further increment of 50 scored.
If a batsman is not out after 50 = +10, after 100 = +15, after 200 = +25 etc....

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

Bowling

20 points per wicket
2 points per maiden over
+10 for 5 wickets in the match
+20 for 5 wickets in an innings
+30 for 10 wickets in the match
+50 for 10 wickets in an innings
+30 for a hat trick

for some reason, squads are hard to come by, so you may have to go searching for yourself

The Red twins hold this one after an epic battle with their older brother in '24

First match starts on 4th April, teams to be in before the first toss.
