In Aus, points are also deducted for slow over rates. Has been an excellent incentive to have the players rocketing through their overs.

Ditto over here - the deduction is not punitive though. Worcs. were deducted two points in the game just finished against Warwickshire.

"Not punitive"? Meaning they can't effect the team's position in the table?

by JKLever Sat 06 Sep 2008, 10:24

Aye deducting 2 points when you can get 22 is pointless.

Deducting 2 from a max of 8 would mean more...

Aye

So what effect do the deductions have?

by JKLever Sat 06 Sep 2008, 12:14

Not much, quite a few teams in the season get penalised

by skully Sat 06 Sep 2008, 12:15

So a bit of a slap with a soggy lettuce leaf then?

by skully Sat 06 Sep 2008, 12:16

In Aus, the points deducted count, and can mean the difference between a spot in the Final and not.

FC Ton number 103 for Ramps in the only cricket not washed out today.

No points for a draw would massively favour the southern sides.

ICL looking to have a world cup in april could contain some english county cricketers,for a 20/20 cup.
ECB said it will ban ICL english players from now on.
Will have big effect on county cricket next year i guess, a few old names missing.

Swanny going mental early on at Lord's.

25* off 14 balls.

Nottinghamshire: 42-0 ( 5.3 overs )
In Play

by JKLever Sun 07 Sep 2008, 13:15

Everywhere else rained off!

Looks like it's a straight fight between Essex,Kent & the Yorkies for promotion from Div 2 if the Yorkies can win their game in hand.

by Big_Bad_Bob Sun 07 Sep 2008, 13:25

Trent Bridge will have the same drainage system at Lord's from next season.

That idea about draws in the CC, JKL . . . I'm coming round to it maybe! Wink

Jefferson finds yet another way of getting himself out just as he gets in.

WI Jefferson run out 22

So talented, but so flaky. shrug

by JKLever Sun 07 Sep 2008, 13:34

Tell me about it!!

As for the drainage - if our weather continues like this you can see quite a few sides having to install those drainage systems - infact for our test grounds it should be a requirement

Bowllux ... club game washed out, and I thought with all the rain around
they wouldn't play at Lord's!
So I stayed home to watch the GP !!!
Evil or Very Mad

by Big_Bad_Bob Sun 07 Sep 2008, 15:30

But what a GP it was!!!

You should have known better with that drainage system though, Merls!

by Big_Bad_Bob Sun 07 Sep 2008, 15:33

Notts 180ao off the last ball of their 40.

Well short of what looked possible after 5 overs, but not a bad effort considering the shambles that followed!

by JKLever Sun 07 Sep 2008, 15:37

Middx's batting looks ridiculously strong yet they never seem to put it together as a unit.
