IHAG: Australia v India Tests

[Boycs]

I'm posting on my phone and just about to leave for work so can someone else put up the rules from a previous thread as mike and baggy might want to play?

Five players, normal rules.

I'll do one game for the whole series if that's okay, means we can be tactical on our selection

My choices:

Ashwin
Kohli
Pujara
Smith
Warner

Fairly obvious choices!

[Mick180461]

I'll be in it as well but need to see the rules.

[Verity]

Ashwin
O'Keefe
Jadeja
Wade
Lyon

[Verity]

I'll be in it as well but need to see the rules.

1 run = 1 point

1 wicket = 25 points

1 catch = 10 points

Stumpings and runouts = 25 points

Most points obviously win

[Mick180461]

My 5

Kohli
Smith
Jadeja
Starc
Ashwin

How do you work out run outs, is it the person who breaks the Bails, because if you have a person make a superb stop then throw the ball to a fielder/Keeper standing over the stumps who then takes the bails off, it would be unfair for the outfielder not to get the points.

[Misty]

I'll be in it as well but need to see the rules.

1 run = 1 point

1 wicket = 25 points

1 catch = 10 points

Stumpings and runouts = 25 points

Most points obviously win

How about Ankur's x2 rules excluding must need keeper?

[Verity]

1 run = 1 point

1 wicket = 25 points

1 catch = 10 points

Stumpings and runouts = 25 points

Most points obviously win

How about Ankur's x2 rules excluding must need keeper?

No classic rules

[MikeR68]

My 5 would be

Kholi
Smith
Pujara

Are any of them mine? Can't remember

[Verity]

Na all my games didnt worry as interest dropped off but ill update results tomorrow.

[baggygreenmania]

Renshaw has got me off to a good start.

[Boycs]

Thanks for the participation guys. I'm off to work shortly but believe I'll have the house to myself when I wake tomorrow so I'll update scores up to the end of day 2 if I can

Cool to see so many participating

[Boycs]

Building the scores so far now

[Boycs]

Right:

Scores as of stumps Day 2.

Baggy 488
Mick 430
Verity 416
Leo 367
Raja 316
= SGGH 316
Misty 315
Mike 177

[baggygreenmania]

Dragging the chain a bit Mike. Thanks for scores Boycs30.

[baggygreenmania]

I expect to lose my top position after today's play. I have neither SOK or Lyon in my list.

[Boycs]

I'm away over the weekend so can't get to my computer so will update on Sunday or Monday

[Boycs]

I was going to run it for the series as I'm not sure I've got the time to run four different ones. Plus I personally like that a failure of two of our picks on one match doesn't mean we've lost the whole game. Three tests to go for us to get points!

I'll update final scores for this first test on Sunday or Monday

[raja]

Thanks, Boycs30.
Just had a look at everyone's team - I think Verity's running away with this.
He's the only guy who's got SOK in there.
And Ashwin and Lyon.
The next guy's going to be a rather distant second.

[Boycs]

Well sok might not get a wicket for the rest of the series, you never know. India might win this 3:1

[baggygreenmania]

So are you able to change your team if you wish?

[raja]

Yes, this works per Test.

[baggygreenmania]

thanks raja. I may keep the same team as they served me well this Test. What does the winner get?

Renshaw
Smith
Ashwin
Hazlewood
Starc

[Mick180461]

So to get this straight we can change our team for match 2?

[baggygreenmania]

Yes Mick. You can use a different team for each test. You and I did well the first two days. The third day scores are still to be tallied by Boycs30 as I understand it.

[Boycs]

Mick 634
Mike 294
Misty 570
Raja 521

[Going South]

Requests to treat each test score as separate & new rather than cumulative as some of us (me) have no score for first test. Thanks

[Boycs]

Requests to treat each test score as separate & new rather than cumulative as some of us (me) have no score for first test. Thanks
