goose Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Who wants to play in my series predictor competition? It's really easy but fun as the series goes on. For the upcoming 3 test series versus RSA, pick three Indian players for each test. Specify which player is your batsman, bowler, and fielding option. Points will be added for each test to give a series total. Batsman....1 RUN = 1 pt Bowler.......1 WICKET = 25 pts Fielder.......1 CATCH/STUMPING = 25 pts 1 RUN OUT (ANY PLAYER) = 25 pts (AS PER CRICINFO SCORECARD) For example for 1st test I might choose: Batsman - Kohli Bowler - Shami Fielder - Saha In above example, only Kohl's' runs will count not his catches, only Saha's catches/stumpings will count not his runs, you get the idea. You cannot have the same player in same category for following tests. In the next test you can't pick Kohli again as a batsman but you could pick him as a fielder. You could go crazy for example and pick Shami for all three options in the 1st test. If he effects a run out that would get you additional 75 pts. Submit your 3 players for the first test now using above format (changes allowed up until 10 min after toss i.e 20 min before 1st ball). If you will not be around at toss time leave some 2nd choices for borderline picks e.g. 'Umesh or if not picked then Bumrah'. Unless you have given me instructions to the contrary, either in an existing post or a future new post timed before the 1st ball is bowled, then in the event your player does not start the match the following alternatives will apply by default. UMESH/ISHANT/BUMRAH RAHUL/DHAWAN RAHANE/ROHIT Edited January 28, 2018 by goose zen, Mariyam, Cricketics and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 1 WKT = 10 POiNTs is too less. How will shami earn 75 points if he affects 1 run out? beetle 1 Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Okay. I'm In anyways : Batsmen : Rahane Bowler : Shami Fielder : Saha goose 1 Link to comment
New guy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Selecting a keeper as fielder is cheating IMO, as he will usually have most catches Link to comment

beetle Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I wkt should at least be 25 points. Can we change the player if he is out because of fitness? Link to comment
beetle Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Murali vijay. Bhuvi....shami unlikely to play all matches. Saha. Edited December 29, 2017 by beetle goose 1 Link to comment

New guy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Wicket should be 20 points. So 2 wickets is 40 runs, 5 wickets 100 runs etc Link to comment

Put the team through? Lol How much time does it take to select 3 out of potential 2/3 players in every category? Most will pick Kohli/chepu/vijay/Rahane as batsmen Saha/Rahane as fielder Bhuvi/Shami as Bowlers Cricketics 1 Link to comment

Happy to change the points. How many per wicket, catch and run-out do you think? Because in my rather extreme example I picked Shami for all three options. Run-out points apply to all three options. Run-out amended from 25 to 30 PTS now. Edited December 29, 2017 by goose Link to comment

Obviously everyone will pick Saha for one test the question is which test. Link to comment

I have amended points per wicket to 20 PTS on basis many people i speak to think a century and 5fer are similar feats. Yes changes allowed up till toss.

goose Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) If i upvote you it means i've noted your selection. If you want to change it do it in a new post since i won't be checking your edits. Points changed as follows : Runs 1PT Wicket 20PTS Catch 25PTS Run-Out 30PTS Edited December 29, 2017 by goose Link to comment

If I know Rahul is not playing a day before the first test, can I change my option then? Link to comment

Makes my life easier if you submit your selection now then make the change if you want to later. Link to comment
