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

First attempt at a fantasy league for the Hundred
Scoring is very similar to those for T20 with an adjustment for bowling economies from runs per over to runs per ball and with the 5 pt maiden over bonus replaced with a 1 pt bonus for every dot ball bowled
It is entirely possible that scoring changes may need to be made in the future, but for now these will be used

Squads

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the ... 141/squads

first match begins 3rd August. Teams to be in before the toss.

good luck to everyone taking part.......... and good luck to me, because I have no idea how well this will work

be careful with the squads, btw. crapinfo last updated back in April and there have been some notable withdrawals.... plus there will have been a wildcard pick for each team after the end of the T20 Dribble. I think they can be found on the BBC squad lists, but I've used the crapinfo link because the beeb squads can't be accessed from one link

au contraire

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/60477088

1) Kieron Pollard (London)
2) Daniel Bell-Drummond (London)
3) Andre Russell (Manchester)
4) Wanindu Hasaranga (Manchester)
5) Dwayne Bravo (Northern)
6) Adil Rashid (Northern)
7) Sunil Narine (Oval)
8) Rashid Khan (Trent)
9) Tymal Mills (Southern)
10) Chris Jordan (Southern)
11) Moeen Ali (Birmingham)

Mike's going early, so I think I might as well follow suit

LIvingstone (BP)
Moeen (BP)
Maxwell (LS)
Russell (MO)
Roy (OI)
Narine (OI)
Samit (TR)
Rashid Khan (TR)
Lintott (SB)
Zampa (WF)
Phillips (WF)

I'd appreciate teams as well as players, if everyone could oblige me....... I have no idea who are in the squads without trawling through them all

Liam Dawson (London Spirit)
Ben Duckett (Welsh Fire)
Jos Buttler (Manchester Originals)
Phil Salt (Manchester Originals)
Wanindu Hasaranga (Manchester Originals)
David Willey (Northern Superchargers)
Harry Brook (Northern Superchargers)
Sam Curran (Oval Invincibles)
Will Jacks (Oval Invincibles)
Liam Livingstone (Birmingham Phoenix)
Moeen Ali (Birmingham Phoenix)

The kid says...

Livingstone- Phoenix
Ali- Phoenix
Maxwell- London
Buttler- Manchester
Faf- Northern
Roy- Oval
Qdk- Southern
Hales- Trent
R khan- Trent
Bairstow- Welsh
Banton- Welsh

after watching Jason Roy scratching about in the T20I's, I might replace him. He looks in no form whatsoever

Jacks for Roy

I haven't got England's patience

Fans of the FL will note that I've not bothered with a 50 over cup FL......... nobody plays in it, so it seemed a bit pointless really....... well done the ECB

what could possibly go wrong?

2 days to go

not long to go, now

it only takes one lightning wildcat postal strike to hold up late entries and I'll win the thing easy

1830 tomorrow is the deadline

you know you want to

Bairstow is a last minute withdrawal

for some reason that will be unfathomable to the ECB, he thinks test matches are more important

who knew
