First topic message reminder :

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]

June 28 - July 2, 2023: 2nd Test at Lord's. Australia won by 43 runs [0-2]

July 6 - 10, 2023: 3rd Test at Headingley. England won by 3 wickets [1-2]

July 19 -23, 2023: 4th Test at Old Trafford. Match Drawn [1-2]

July 27 - 31, 2023: 5th Test at The Oval. England won by 49 runs [2-2]


*****

Good luck with your selections!

Yeah, that's the beauty of this comp.
Eirebilly also has Marnus so you still could have been neck and neck.  Smile

Interesting day ahead. There'll be some movement on the scoreboard (on the field and on here) for sure.
Often get some massive swings in a short space of time.

Saw myself at the bottom and thought there must be a mistake because I felt like I 'd had a better day than that. But I actually got the third best day score so clearly it's just the level of competition...

Do you both realise how hard it is for me to ask my secretary to type this up?

Don't tell me you're playing Bazball on here too, Super. Smile  

I thought you were the more traditional type but now I'm more wary of unexpected and unorthodox radical twists in your forthcoming picks.

Hi Joey - for T2, exactly the same as I originally chose for T1. Thanks.

PS and Edit: Boland again if Australia are rash enough to repeat the unthinkable.

That's fine, mate.
Have a feeling there's going to be a late rush once the Aussies name their side.
Feel free to tweak some more right up until the toss.

What's the weather like?

Grey and cloudy, but not looking too much like rain at the minute. Definitely feels like a bowl first whilst the pitch is greener.

Thurs and Fri weather similar, slightly more chance of rain atm, then brighter on sat and sun

Thanks Afro.
Sounds so tempting to have a bowl first but I expect some sort of sporting decision at the toss.
Stokes is more of a risk taker but even Cummins might want to bowl first if he wins the toss.
So should be good batting last if the first 2 innings go through quickly again... given the weekend weather outlook.

Ha. Another rather mouldy day for my lot...I haven't given up on England yet but am already resigned to a very lowly spot in this competition Smile

You started the day well, alfie... but there's still hope yet. Your prayers might be answered. Smile

and I dropped Lyon (for no compelling reason) and went with Green instead. I must have rocks in my Head! Laugh

Lowland, Olly and Guilford

Please let me know your replacement for Ollie Pope - just in case we don't see him back on the field either today or for the rest of the match.
Hope he's OK.

Cheers, Joey.

Stokes for Pope.

I'll probably need to let you know before the end who the sub for Stokes is! Wink

As the only person still in three figures I'll stick by my team and promote Crawley from the field.

Thanks Lowland.

Points Table
2nd Test, Lord's, Day 2:

1881 Chris [228]
1757 Soul Requiem [284]
1705 Duty [258]
1683 Eirebilly [233]
1636 KP_Fan [197]
1620 Compelling and Rich [233]
1589 Guildfordbat [233]
1575 Superflyweight [258]

1370 King Carlos [207]
1354 Marky [114]
1242 Lowlandbrit [282]
1224 Afro [163]

Average score: 1528 [230]

First figure - accumulative score / accumulative average score
Second figure in [brackets] - daily score / daily average

Notes:
Olly top scored on Day 2 with 319 points, followed by Soul (284) and Lowlandbrit (282)
For those who gave me their sub for Pope (batting) I used Crawley for Lowland (+6 cf. Pope's score)
Olly - I used Ollie Pope's score for you (as you originally selected)
Guildford - wait and see when England take the field. Have Stokes as your spare catcher; if no Pope.
Alfie, Marky, Olly, Soul and Tino - please post up your sub for Lyon. Looks like he won't be back.

If Lyon is indeed out for the count I will replace him with ... Starc ?

Without much confidence ; but I already have Green as a batsman , and claiming Head or Marnus as a bowler would be a trick that even KP_fan might think a bit sneaky Smile

OK, alfie. Yeah, not looking promising for Lyon.
Starc it is then... you'll start collecting his points from now on (Day 3) onwards.
And Guildford will be even more proud of you... all competition aside.  Wink

(note: if there is some miracle and Lyon returns... we can sort that out later. Same for everyone else who has him)

I'll replace with Dennis Lillie. After that I'll have Merv Hughes.

3rd choice is Josh Hazlewood.
