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

Time to arrange the squad sheets neatly on the table, select your lucky pin and blindfold, and try to beat the footman who has won this for 2 years running (my advice.... do not do this on your best dining room table.... not if you know what's good for you.... the gaffer will have your guts for garters)

pick 11 players, no substitutes are permitted, and there are no restrictions on who you can pick

Scoring

Batting

1 point per run
+10 for a half century
+20 for a century (+10 for any additional half century)
If a batsman is not out after 50 = +10, after 100 = +15, after 200 = +25 etc....

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, + 10 for two in a row.

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

Squads

http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cric ... ect=786877
be careful with crapinfo squad lists, they are not necessarily up to date
check ins and outs here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/29110601

entries must be in before the toss on Sunday 12th April, and may the best footman win!

It would be much appreciated if players are entered with their counties, to prevent confusion and to save me from having to trawl through the squads to find them.

thanks
