Discussion BBL|14 Teams & In Game Discussion: SATURDAY DOUBLE HEADER 4:00pm AEST [MLR v BNE] & 7:15pm AEST [PER v ADE]

[Herbie66]

Bit of a dumb question here but I haven’t really taken notice of abandoned games in the past…

Assuming tonight’s game is abandoned does Jack Edwards score of 44 still stand and if so is it worth bringing on field for a Thornton/Merridth type!?

Yes it counts

SC points start from ball 1

 

[Post Nut Clarity]

Yep, once a ball is bowled all scores (even if they didn’t take meaningful part) count.

Yes and yes. Scores count for everyone the moment the first ball is bowled.

Yes it counts

SC points start from ball 1

Thanks lads!!!

Also remember if you have a 0 at E from this game, you can put a second E on the same line and get that one instead.

 

[CatAttack]

Should I take Billing’s 0 or field Harper?

What advantage do you get from taking a 0 ?

 

[Dravid]

Should I take Billing’s 0 or field Harper?

Harper doesn't bowl, he can't go negative!

 

[Diabolical]

0/0 or 1/44. I will decide on Sunday which one it is.

 

[Beg2Differ]

Should I take Billing’s 0 or field Harper?

It probably doesn't matter....either will drop out.

 

[7/11]

Should I take Billing’s 0 or field Harper?

I see option C as the only way:

 

[Ratzondix]

I like the call about reverting to the runs + difference in balls faced method. What’s tricky for the bowlers is so much of their scoring is event based (wicket, maiden, etc) and so ER could still be too much of a benefit if it’s made too easy. But that could be solved for reducing the value of a wicket I guess.
Will always be hard to find a balance though.. Ellis gets 41 points with the last ball of the match after getting hammered.. someone bowls 2 economical overs and gets nothing. It’s messy!

I’d prefer ER got more points and wickets are an added bonus. Maybe 10 points for wickets and power play/ surge can be extra points for wickets to make up for the risk of going for more runs or first 4 wickets worth 20 points 5-7 worth 15 and 8-10 worth 10.

 

[Herbie66]

So Hurricanes finish top regardless of Sunday's result , 2nd & 3rd locked in

HH 15
SS 14 (10)
ST 12 (10)

Personally think Gannon will get a game

 

[Ironhawk]

Should I take Billing’s 0 or field Harper?

I may chicken out on that if my VC goes alright (probably double figures is more than fine).

Is this the most rain effected BBL tournament in history?

Can’t recall so many games being washed out or reduced overs

Didn’t we cop similar last year?

 

[Professor]

4/2 vc Dwarsh 🤪

Actually think we’ve had considerably worse previously!

Agree, last year caught me out big time

[THCLT]

My round starts tomorrow.

Traded out Green & Billings from tonight's game with Overton to join them tomorrow.

My INs could be anything from 3 uniques or 3 donuts depending on my E's and selected XI's.

Final game of the season could get interesting for my own team as it has the making of a Stars v Hurricanes face off.

I think last year had six rain affected games but let me look it up

Edit: five no-results, may have been further reduced overs games

Over and above those no-results, a game with a 7 over second innings, a 14 v 14 game, a game where the second innings ended at 14.3, another that ended at 16

Yeah last year was a lot worse
