Any questions to be asked in here.

Please note that the ODI series will start AFTER the current WI-Ban series is over as it is mid-series.

Just a question...why s/r and econ over the runs scored and bowling figs?

What matters in ODIs - speed of scoring and skill of containment,

As Neil says.

If a spell of 5-1-15-0 were bowled compared with 10-0-65-3, then the former is better in the terms of this game.

Besides that, it's my game so I make up the rules!!!

Nikhil starts his own, original 'cricket guessing contest' in 3...2...1...

Please all note the amended ODI runs points - realised it was too easy so high!

what if the other team get all out how is 10% of bowlers calculated ?

fom actual overs or 50 overs

say a bowler bowled 3 overs and the team was allout in 30 overs
will he be eligible

Actual overs.

Neil is right - incidentally, Vermeulen came 1 run from upsetting the Apple Cart in the 1st game.
