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

Feel free to pick 5 players from the two countries (a mix of the two, or 5 from one country - it's up to you), and two reserve players just in case one of the chosen 5 does not play. The first reserve player picked will come into contention first.

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

In the event of a concussion substitution, the participant gets the next available sub in their submitted team, to take effect in the next innings of the match.

All these people picking Ravindra must be unaware he's in my yearly fantasy duo. He is destined to score a king pair and then go on walkabout for 6 months to repair himself mentally.
