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

Assuming that this goes ahead as planned ( I assume it will...... can't see national mourning being allowed to interfere with the most lucrative competition in the Aussie domestic calendar)

Rules

11 players, no substitutes, no restrictions on who you pick

Scoring

Batting
1pt for every run scored
Players scoring at least 25 runs will receive a 10pt bonus for every 25 runs scored
Players scoring at least 15 runs will receive a 10pt bonus for a s/r 125%+
Players scoring at least 15 runs will receive a 20pt bonus for a s/r 175%+
Players scoring at least 15 runs will receive a 30pt bonus for a s/r 225%+

Bowling
20 pts per wicket plus
5 points bonus for maiden over
10 points bonus for a 2fer
20 points bonus for a 4fer

Fielding
10 points for each catch taken and stumping.
20 points for sole run out (10 each if shared)
10 pt bonus for being involved in 3 catches / run-outs / stumpings

It would be most helpful if teams are included next to players names, because I haven't yet worked out which players play for which teams when NSW and Victoria are split into 2 teams each (bit more research required on my part)

I'll post squads later, when I've worked out what on earth is going on

I hope these are correct

Might hae to make you an honorary Aussie for running these fantasy leagues, DFM. You'd love it over here, good weather, customer service, and not a bad cricket team in this part of the world. Steal a horse and you could find yourself out here before you know it!

I probably would love it, stands. I'd be no use on a 18 hour flight to Perth or a 24 hour flight to Sydney, though, so I'd have to come by ship. I couldn't afford to come across P&O, so I'd probably have to get a job on a tramp steamer....... work my passage...... doing feet........ not offering 'other' services, you understand.........so you might have to wait a bit

I thought Sammy was doing half a comp, with Brezza taking over
