WELCOME TO THE MTWD FANTASY CRICKET LEAGUE 2008

Results will be based on C.C Div Two matches only.

Selecting your team

Each team should comprise of the following:

4 batsmen, 1 all rounder, 1 Overseas Player,1 wicket keeper and 4 bowlers

to be selected from the list of players printed below. On that list I have included most of the Middlesex playing staff, but only a selection from each of the other counties. This is to make things easier (particularly for me). I have also allocated a star rating to each player, (5-1) based on their performances in the 2007 season.

Selection Rules

You make select no more than three Middlesex Players and no more than two players from each of the other counties. The total star rating of your team must not total more than…40 pts

IF YOU CHOOSE AN OVERSEAS PLAYER THAT IS PLAYING ONLY HALF A SEASON HIS REPLACEMENT (EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER ) WILL REPLACE HIM. (I.E. IF YOU SELECT KARTIK THEN ALL POINTS GAINED BY NOFFKE WILL COUNT UNTIL KARTIK TAKES OVER)

POINTS

BATTING: 1 pt for every ten runs scored, bonus of five for getting a century

BOWLING: 5 pts for each wicket taken, 5 bonus points for taking five wickets in an innings. 1 pt deducted for each 10 runs conceded.

FIELDING : 1 point for each catch taken, 3 points for each stumping.
