THE Cricket (Notts v Sussex, Losers v Losers)

[Barrel of Fun]

Thank you BoF for that tit-bit of info - I shall sleep easier knowing that.

It is a pleasure. Just make sure you don't oversleep and miss the trophy celebrations down at the Rose Bowl.

Patel hits Mushy over the top for four. Prior says "You're kidding me aren't ya?"

Mushy goes for a LBW, Patel doesn't pay a shot. Not Out! Grame Swann can you please f*** off!

Calm down Kev, get your trolls out the toy box and caress them

No. If Lancs took 22 points they would win by 2.

I need this explaining

I presume if we finish level on points we win because we've won more games?

If Lancs get 22 and we were winning by 8 before the game that means we need 14 points. If we draw the game we get 7. We already have 5 from this game so surely we only need the 2 bowling points?

Or am i just a thick ****?

You just confusing a draw with a tie

A draw is worth 4 points a tie (both teams scoring the same) is 7


Edit: Thats a bit fixtures now isnt it

 

[Skint Gull]

Thats where i've got lost here! Was getting figures from ECB website but didn't see that said tie not draw!

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Like Bozza i am now shitting it! All week i've been thinking all we need is maximum points and a draw! f***!

Stupid idea anyway, why have different points for a tie? how bloody often does that happen in 4 day games!

I made the same mistake yesterday when I read it quickly - it's not just you.
