stronger looking sides than mine

I'm banking on keeping my players fit and away from the international selectors thoughts, whilst exploiting early season conditions

how are points accumulated by the players?

I probably should have asked that question ages ago before filling my squad with bowlers, bowling allrounders and wicket keepers

[Durhamfootman]

if the answer is..... "we only count the runs that a player scores", then I'm stuffed

[SaintPowelly]

Its the runs you score divided by the wickets your oppo takes, highest average per wicket wins

[ntini77]

My provisional line-up:

1.Rogers
2.Trescothick
3.M Ali
4.Ballance
5.Bopara
6.B Nash
7.Bairstow (WK)
8.Rashid
9.Borthwick
10.T Roland-Jones
11.Meaker

The bowling seems to be desperately lacking firepower.

lol i have 19 players so probably won't be rotating much

Deadline for the 4th round is 8pm this evening CF. If you don't put any further bids in, then you will be allocated 11 players to augment your squad during the lottery.

This is how I described the scoring principle last year:

Team scores will be calculated by dividing the total number of runs your team's players score by the total number of wickets (including half points for wicket-keeper dismissals) taken by your opponents, and vice versa.

[Durhamfootman]

so caught behind and stumpings for keepers only earn half points?

I get the catches, but stumpings seems harsh

[Durhamfootman]

I'm assuming that you'll be posting scoring details in full after tonight's deadline for teams, ian?

Other bids and PMs:

My bids are sent, Red, I havent raised my bid on Coles ( think my team is too Hants heavy, like last year ), so he is yours for 90k if you want him

I guess I may as well then

Coles at 90K completes my bidding.

Please ignore previous message :

Would like to keep my bid for Coles at 80k - if that fails then I'd like the 80k to go on a Ryan Sidebottom bid

with the 50k left over, bid on Kabir Ali please

Hope that makes sense and is correct

I'm happy for all my money to go on Matt Coles to secure him

[SaintPowelly]
