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

A mere 4 weeks away, so plenty of time to get thinking caps on. No Durham point machines to fall back on this year thank goodness, so picking a decent team will be a tough gig this time around


Rules

Pick 11 players from this division. No substitutes are allowed so choose wisely. Any players going out on loan to other counties will only continue to be awarded points if they play for a team in the same division

Scoring

Batting

1 point per run.
+10 for a score of 50.
+10 for every further increment of 50 scored.
If a batsman is not out after 50 = +10, after 100 = +15, after 200 = +25 etc....

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

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
