03 Jul 2013

Batting

Each run scored: +1
Each duck: -15
Bonus points for every 25 runs scored: +3
Not out and runs scored above 25: +2
Boundary hitters: each six gets an additional 2 points with each four an additional 1 point

Example

A batsman scores 57 in a game hitting 4 sixes and 2 fours in the knock; total score will be calculated as:

57 points for normal scoring…. +6 points for scoring two sets of 25… Bonus points for each six +8 and for two fours: +2…Total points scored: 73

However if a batsman gets 56* with 5 fours and zero sixes he will score:

56 points… +6 for two sets of 25s and a further +2 for remaining not out. Boundaries scored will fetch him an additional 5 points. Total points scored: 69    

Bowling

Each wicket taken: +20
Extras conceded (wide… no balls): -5 for each extra
Bonus points for every 2 wickets taken: +10
Bonus points for an over costing 6 runs or less: +8

Example

A bowler bowling just one over in a game gets 2 wickets while giving away 6 runs (two wides). His total score will be:

40 bowling points for wickets…. bonus points for 2 wickets +10… bonus points for an economical over +8… negative points for bowling two wides -10… Total score: 48
