India v South Africa Fantasy Test Cricket Game 2010

Fantasy Cricket Scorecard

Batting Rule

Example

In the example on the right the user has set a declaration score of 375, notice Paul Collingwood(II) has scored 96 of 155 balls, but in the fantasy column only 17 runs are counted, this is because the bastmen above him in the assigned batting order have scored a total of 363 runs, leaving collingwood to score just 17 runs to reach the declaration score of 375!! Using his stirke rate in this innings we know he would use 27 balls to score 17 runs.

Also notice Alistair Cook(II) and the remaining players in the batting line up are being ignored, the declaration score has been reached by the batsmen above them so their runs do not count in this fantasy match. More importantly the balls faced by these players dont count either, giving your team more overs to get the required 10 wickets.

Bowling Rule

Example

In the example on the right notice Monty Panesar(I) bowling figures in the live match, 24 overs for 92 runs and 5 wickets, but in the fantasy column only 19.1 overs for 74 runs and 4 wickets are counted, this is becuase the players above him in the assigned bowling order have taken 6 wickets so only 4 are needed from Monty! Using his bowling average and economy rate in this innings we know he would bowl 19.2 overs for 74 runs to take 4 wickets.

Also notice Flintoff (I) bowling figures are being Ignored,this is because 10 wickets have already been taken by the players above them in this assigned bowling order, which has resulted in a very modest 191/10 in 56.1 overs, we call this score your fantasy opposition score! Had Flintoff (I) been assigned a higher bowling order his runs conceded would have counted increasing the fantasy opposition score. So think before assigning your bowling order!!

TIP: Remember you can get wickets through run outs too
and keepers are the mostly likely players to remove the bails

Using Subs

1. You can use subs to replace players in your starting 11 that did not play in the live cricket match
2. You can also use subs during the live cricket match to replace players that have not yet batted or bowled in the live match.

   Warning: once a player in your starting 11 bats or bowls in the live cricket match, his position in your batting and bowling order will be permanent. So if you wish to substitute a player in your starting 11 you must confirm the substitution before the player bats or bowls in the live match.

3. Your substitutes can be used even after they bat or bowl.
4. Substitutes take on the bowling and batting order of the player they replace
5. Only 2 of the 3 substitutes can be used
