When there is no County Championship we should always be prepared to give some time to the second best first class comp

Not enough teams, of course, nor players, nor matches, but it's quaint in its own way

+10 for a half century
+20 for a century (+10 for any additional half century)

Bowling

20 points per wicket
2 points per maiden over
+10 for 5 wickets in the match

that's a very Victoria heavy team, Ian. You must be confident they'll win the shield

[Durhamfootman]

whenever I've looked at the state sides over the last few years, the side that looks by far the weakest on paper and whose players I ignore usually goes on to win everything

Think they'll be firm favourites. 2 batsmen, 2 bowlers and a keeper - is it too much? Who knows...
