Bubba and DD to top the league and show what us Celts can do on the Krikkit field and herbaceous borders on Farmer Barlemow's land.

I think I'd rather like one day matches

Is there a time warp going on in Troutland? That 4-dayer took less than an hour in Frenchbean time 
Can we have some 20-20s? They'd be over in a nanosecond

I've got plans for a Twenty20 knockout cup, Frenchbean, but as it's based on the Duckworth-Lewis method it's taking some working out

frenchbean Posted Apr 11, 2007
Skanks.... please get this comp organised before you launch into a new one 
How can you run a complete knockout on D-L? Surely you need some form on which to base it? NOOOOOOO, don't answer that... You just concentrate on the Phantasy Krikkit for now, dear

Duckworth-Lewis, you say?

frenchbean Posted Apr 12, 2007
Yeah, that's what I thought. D-L operates on interrupted matches... not on entire ones doesn't it? 
Skanks - don't answer.. I'm asking Egon

Skankyrich [?] Posted Apr 12, 2007
Yes, but it's all about resources remaining and a total projected as a result of wickets lost and overs left. So if your team scores, say 130 runs, and loses five wickets in the process, taking 90 balls to do it, it's possible to work out a projected score based on a full 20 overs. If you do this for both sides, you have a winner.
I'm still working on a theory based on real matches, so it may not happen if it doesn't work in the modelling. Like most cricket fans, I just love stats

Skankyrich [?] Posted Apr 12, 2007
Sorry - I answered...
**having a quick glance through the rival teams**
frenchbean Posted Apr 12, 2007
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist
**having a quick glance through the rival teams**
Skankyrich [?] Posted Apr 12, 2007
I've been suckered into a loose shot there, haven't I?
**having a quick glance through the rival teams**
frenchbean Posted Apr 13, 2007
Just testing, Skanks. What's it like to be so predictible?
**having a quick glance through the rival teams**
Skankyrich [?] Posted Apr 13, 2007
Don't ask me. Ask Ed Joyce

Mu Beta Posted Apr 13, 2007
Oi! That's one of my opening batsmen you're slagging off there.

Aye but as someone once said what do Celts know about Cricket.

Trout Montague Posted Apr 13, 2007
We might find out tonight.
Two of my squad are already injured. Will Jefferson is hamstrung and Robin Martin-Jenkins has a hand injury.
