ComeBackGatt's Fantasy Cricket League 2008

Worth a Punt
By Comebackgatt March 21 2008
Comebackgatt has devised a fun fantasy league game for LVCC Division 2. It's easy to play and of course there is one of those famous small prizes and big pride to play for. It's free and open to anyone to play, so you've nothing to lose - check it out and have a go.

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.

I'm in.

Some real thinking to do, especially with those pesky ICL chappies at the Employment Tribunal no doubt until the 59th minute of the 11th hour.

Fun game, CBG, thank you.

Can I take I that if anyone has the Noffkee/TSO combo they are now given the new combintion of o/seas players?

Spot on there Diamond, if anyone has selected the Noffkle/Kartick combination it will be replaced by Philander/Kartick and anyone who has selected De Wet he will be automatically replaced by Nannes.

Just to remind everyone, as with all competitions on this board, you can change some/all of your players right up to the deadline.

Perhaps Ged can confirm this, but if you picked Ash or De Vet in starting line up-tough?.

I think the principle is pretty straightforward for prediction games.

Before the submission deadline, people can change their choices as often as they like, with the last submission being final.

After the deadline, all players have to live with the consequences.

Hence, the CBG Fantasy Game - still open - people can change their submissions if they wish.

Middlesex 2008 Averages Prediction game - still open - ditto.

CC 1st Match Starting XI Prediction Game - deadline passed - no changes allowed.
