[Draft 2] The Playoffs -- Season Two
Posted: Sun May 24, 2020 11:53 am
It seems a bit of a shame to lay our carefully drafted post 2010 ODI sides to rest after what was for some a too brief outing in the first edition of the playoffs, expertly orchestrated by Kriterion_BD, yet still waiting for an official result from the final.
I had a lot of fun with the alternative simulations I ran, even more so with the one random match format I used for the last two games. A round robin or league format seems a stretch too far at this point, but I'm keen do have another tournament with straight knock-out matches, using my slightly improved previous model.
Rules:
One random post-2010 match per player (using a random number generator); if a proper batsman is not out way below his average or a bowler who needs to bat didn't bat in the match chosen, I will throw the dice again and choose a random battings innings.
Runs and balls faced are tallied up for batters in the given batting order until 300 balls are reached. If a Manager wants to change his batting order for the entire tournament drop me a line below.
All bowling counts. If your bowlers and all-rounders bowl more than 50 overs between them, the extra overs are deducted from the bowling analysis of your worst bowler on the day. If you bowl less than 50, the missing overs are added to the tally of your best frontline bowlers who have overs remaining. Bonus for wickets taken, i.e. deduction from the RR conceded: 8-10 (0.1 deduction each), 11+ (0.2 deduction each), 4 or less (+ 0.1)
Wicketkeeping: byes are counted against the bowling side; 5 run penalty to the bowling side if the designated keeper (or a possible stand-in) didn't keep in his random match; bonus for dismissals >2 (0.1 deduction from the RR conceded)
