50 over Fantasy League Rules
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 4:52 am
Hi guys
There is a bit of a concern that the current ODI Fantasy League Rules are a bit biased in favor of the batsmen. To try and even the balance up, 2 extra bonus point rules have been added for economical bowlers.
Ive added the rules (highlighted in purple text) to the overall list for your consideration.
Unless there is some problem these new rules or an alternative suggestion agreed to, these will be the standard rules for ODI's from now on.
Thanks
