We can see the updated scores on the sheet now Teuton. Buy yeah there were instances in the past where you used to say scores have been updated but we couldn't see that in the sheet.

Count me in for next year's draft.

I'll have another pop Teuton.

Dropping Perera for Shamsi/Sodhi was a big mistake. Went purely with the quantity of matches in mind.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Should have stuck with Taijul Islam

Hopefully Kohli can ton up at least twice before the year ends.

And Taylor to get a double vs Sri Lanka.

 

[NUFAN]

Kane and 6outhee are doing the current World Champions proud.

Hey Teuton, would you ever consider doing a continuous comp?

It would mean youd get to keep your players from 1 year to the next. The issue would be getting a commitment from people.

 

[kingkallis]

Latham and Ishant can give me some decent points before closing the year

sure provided that I get to persist with my squad of 2018

Yeah nice try. Youd start from scratch

Couple of queries

Do players get points for run-outs?
Maybe deduct points from bowlers due to them conceding a certain number of runs? A bowler who bowls 10-0-100-1 gets the same points as one who bowls 10-5-20-1

Certainly not impinged my enjoyment of the game, but just wondering what others would think about the above?

I like the idea but as well as the commitment issue, it also means less drafting which I think is the most fun part of the comp. So I don't think I would run it but if someone else did something along those lines I would participate.

There are no points for run outs since they aren't compiled in the statsguru query i use to calculate the scores.

Deducting points would require a rethink of the whole scoring system to keep the balance between batsmen and bowlers even. And the query i rely on just counts the runs, wkts, catches across the whole quarter with no interrogation of individual games.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Cheers for the clarification

 

[NUFAN]

Also it might be hard to work out the criteria given that this is across 3 formats.

Id like to see negative points awarded for ducks (especially for OP, MOB and maybe AR).

Good call on Latham

 

[anil1405]

What are the scores as it stands Teuton?
