Fantasy Cricket League 2010


will he be our top man ?

March 19 2010

comebackgatt's Fantasy Cricket league returns for a triumphant third season. This year the rules have slightly changed maybe making it that harder. Closing date is 10.00am Friday 9th April. Get your thinking caps on and good luck.

WELCOME TO THE MTWD FANTASY CRICKET LEAGUE 2010 

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

Selecting your team 

Each team should comprise of the following: 6 batsmen, 1 wicket keeper and 4 bowlers, but only one overseas player allowed. 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, (6-1) based on their performances in the 2009 season. 

Selection Rules 

You must select one player from each county, and then no more than two per county.  The total star rating of your team must not total more than…40 pts The eleven players you pick remain your selection until the “transfer window” in early June when you may make up to four transfers. 

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.  

An updated table will be published on the board at the end of each month.

Had a quick look Beefy, buts looks very hard this year with the top values being 6 and being forced to pick a player from every county - even Sorry!!

Anyone know when this year's competition will be launched ?
Last year's began with the first CCh matches which this year are less than 4 weeks away now (Apr 9th).

The details for the 2009 competition were published on 25th Match 2009, so there are still 11 days remaining before it becomes a case of "it was earlier last year".

However, the 2009 season started on 15th April, while this season is six days earlier, so in terms of avoiding it becoming a case of "we were given more time last year", there are five days remaining, which would mean it must be published by Friday 19th March 2010.

Can't wait CBG , my aim for the year is two fold , to pick players from other sides initially that Middlesex would rather see unfit in real life ( worked all last year in fantasyland ...Butcher retiring etc) and to beat the Bunny !!!

I have observed over the past few years that Hippity tends to emerge from hibernation around the time that Daisy and I spot rabbits in Boston Manor Park when playing tennis.

This year, perhaps due to the colder weather, the rabbits have not yet been forthcoming.

Is it possible that Hippity will emerge from hibernation too late??

Darren, the transfer window will open 8th June and close 27th June whilst no CC matches are taking place.

Terrific to see that so many entries are coming in thick and fast.

FYI mine has already been submitted. Thick in my case, even if not so fast. Daisy has also submitted her team this weekend.

Difficult this time to come up with a team, more thought needed.

Going to take my time on it this year like Vic .

Operating on the selection policy of "spot the crock" , see if that works .

To be fair - in Pedro Collins - we now have someone whose middle name is 'Tyrone' and whose half-brother's middle name is 'Henderson'.

comebackgatt

First of all Chopper_9, yes your team has been accepted, was at Worcester so didn't get chance to email, that also goes for those who entered yesterday, you are all in. In fact there are a total of 30 teams in the league this year the best ever.

Full line as follows

Hi All

Does anybody know if CBG is doing a MTWD fantasy cricket this year?

Cheers Gedber

I have also been thinking the same. I know that the Essex's Overseas player is? thread (the answer to that question being Lonwabo Tsotsobe) was set up with a view to completing the list of players for a Fantasy Cricket League 2011, so clearly some thought has been devoted to running such a competition.

Re this, I can confirm that due to time constraints CBG cannot run the competition this season. Thanks CBG for your efforts over the last 2 years.

May I thank comebackgatt for organising this competition over the last couple of years and Kev for clarifying this.

Hi Kev
Thanks for the info on fantasy cricket it will be missed this year. Thanks for last years game CBG.

Cheers Gedber

Gatt's a busy man,thanks for the last couple of years,it was real fun and beating the bunny last year would probably have been the height of my success anyway.

Once again Gatt thanks for a comp that took a lot of work on your part and was fun for all who took part.
