2023 Ashes Series Tipping Competition
The 2023 Ashes Tipping Competition
The Rules:
1.
Pick 2 (two) batsmen and 2 (two) bowlers from both England and Australia who you think will score the most runs and take the most wickets.
You get both batting and bowling points per innings; so a bowler who scores runs has both batting and bowling scores added together.
e.g.
Root, Bairstow, Robinson, Anderson
Labuschagne, Head, Cummins, Boland
2.
Pick 1 (one) fielder from each team; excluding wicket keepers, for the most catches in the Series.
It can be a bowler (for c&b) if you want.
e.g.
Pope, Green
3.
Select which wicket keeper will take the greatest number of catches, stumpings and run outs combined for each Test.
If a wicket keeper is injured then the replacement keeper's figures shall be used.
e.g.
England (Bairstow) or Australia (Carey) or the same number of dismissals.
4.
Predict the Toss:
a) Who wins the toss?
e.g.
England
b) Winning captain's decision - bat or bowl/field?
e.g.
Bat
5.
a) Predict the Ashes Test result.
e.g.
England or Australia or Draw
Selections must be posted a minimum one (1) hour before the commencement of each Test. No PM reminders shall be sent.
Scoring:
1.
1 point for every run scored by your nominated batsmen. Add together for each Test.
Bonus 25 points for 100 runs.
extra 30 points for 150 runs.
extra 45 points for 200 runs.
extra 60 points for 250 runs.
extra 125 bonus points for 300+ runs.
Note: the batting & bowling score bonuses accumulate so;
Batting: (per innings)
100 runs = 125 points. A player scores 137 runs + 25 = 162 points.
150 runs = 205 points. A player scores 177 runs + 25 + 30 = 232 points.
200 runs = 300 points. A player scores 243 runs + 25 + 30 + 45 = 343 points.
250 runs = 410 points. A player scores 282 runs + 25 + 30 + 45 + 60 = 442 points
300+ runs = 585 points. A player scores 321 runs + 25 + 30 + 45 + 60 + 125 = 606 points.
Bowling: (per innings)
25 points per wicket with a bonus 50 points for a 5-fer.
An extra 30 points for 6-fer, 45 for 7-fer, 60 for 8-fer, 75 for 9-fer.
An extra 100 bonus points for a 10-fer.
5 wickets = 125 points + 50 = 175 points
6 wickets = 150 points + 50 + 30 = 230 points.
7 wickets = 175 points + 50 + 30 + 45 = 300 points
8 wickets = 200 points + 50 + 30 + 45 + 60 = 385 points
9 wickets = 225 points + 50 + 30 + 45 + 60 + 75 = 485 points
10 wickets = 250 points + 50 + 30 + 45 + 60 + 75 + 100 = 610 points
Caught and bowled = 25 points for the wicket + 25 bonus points for the catch = 50 points.
2.
Fielder catches: Your nominated fieldsman earns you 25 points per catch and 25 points for a run out.
3.
Wicket keepers: 50 points for the correct selection for the most dismissals across both innings.
Or if you think the wicket keepers will take the same number of total dismissals per innings - then nominate "the same" = 50 points.
If they take the same number of catches and stumpings (combined) and you've picked either one of the keepers - then you earn 25 points only.
4.
a) Correctly predict who wins the toss = 25 points
b) Correctly predict what the winning Captain decides to do = 25 points - only for those with part a) above correct; no points if your a) was incorrect.
5.
a) Correctly predict the winning team for each Test match = 125 points.
b) If you guess all 5 Test match outcomes correctly then there is a further 125 point bonus = 625 + 125 = 750 points.
c) Correctly predict a "Draw" = 125 points
If one (or more) of your selected players gets injured during a match or is dropped from the Test side after a match, then you’ll have the opportunity to select replacement players – either as it happens - for the injured player or before the next Test commences (for a player who gets dropped).
It doesn’t have to be the actual substitute player – it can be somebody else already in the team. However, you don’t receive any of their previous points up until the point of the replacement of the injured player from the field – you must start accumulating points from scratch with them.
*****
June 16 - 20, 2023: 1st Test at Edgbaston. Australia won by 2 wickets [0-1]

Getting selection in early like England to psyche you all out. This tipping comp isn't going to get much worse for me than picking Murphy so might as well.

Seems generous!! Assumed if they get an injury, thats luck of the draw.
Out of interest, if you can change, would you lose the points for Starcs two wickets?

Of course you can replace an inured player, Afro. See the rules above.
You won't lose any of Starc's points up until he leaves the field. Then nominate a replacement for Starc and start receiving your replacement's points from that time on. For example, just say you choose Hazlewood to replace Starc - you don't get any points Josh made before Starc went off the field but you then start accruing Josh's points from that point onwards..

Nice try! Are you serious?
It has to be a bowler or all rounder, KP_Fan. So it cannot be Marnus as he is a batsman... who bowls very occasionally.
So you basically have a choice between Hazlewood and Marsh, since you already have Head, Cummins and Green.
On that note, I'll nominate Mitch Marsh as my replacement for Starc, should he not take the field again.

Alfie, Afro, Chris, Eirebilly, King Carlos and Marky have tipped England to win.
Compelling, James, Lowlandbrit, Superfly and Tino are going for the draw.
I hope you enjoyed your day at the ground, JD... you certainly picked a very good day to be there!

.
Well Manus started his career as a bowling allrounder in UAE vs Pak and should be an allowable choice
BUT
Starc bowled today so it's a moot discussion now.
And pretty much every one has Starc...so his no performance cancels / evens out

He's not an all-rounder and never was. He's just a part time bowler as everyone understands. Hence, he wouldn't be an allowable choice.

Catching up after holiday. I guess entries for 606v2's most disgraceful post of the year will continue to be accepted until late December although there seems little point as no one can surely top KP_fan's effort above.

The guy had a perfect holiday....his team having played the most astounding Ashes cricket in last quarter century
comes back and posts nothing else but this as his first post on the cricket forum
Picking up on trivial stuff in context of an anonymous person's id in the forum first thing.
Look like this anonymous person was living under the guy's skin all thru his holidays

Notes:
Congratulations to Compelling and Rich, our new leader, who has a 80-point lead over Duty.
Compelling, Tino, Superflyweight, James and Lowlandbrit all correctly picked the draw.
James and Lowlandbrit also correctly picked Bairstow for most wicket keeper dismissals.
Australia dodged several bullets and were saved by the weather to retain the urn. England dominated this one and deserved the win.
Thanks again everyone for your participation. A very short turnaround for the 5th Test at the Oval.

Australia: Smith & Labushagne. Cummins & Starc*
Crawley & Warner
Carey
Australia win toss and bat
England win.
*if Starc breaks down on the 5th day, I'd like David Warner as my bowler but only if he's scored a double century. If not whichever Aussie has scored the most runs. They all bowl a bit in the nets so you should be allowing it.
