That’s a load of shite Norm.

I’ll write to Wisden and Cricinfo to tell them to stop counting runs and wickets in second innings’ when calculating cricketers avengers, shall I?

Not a problem in T20 and 50 over competition but just trying to keep a balance between likely scenarios.More than likely each gets an innings.This way it makes sure predicions don't get messed about by declaration bowling and innings win/defeats etc .As with all competitions rules aren't perfect but this League won't be making the losses The Hundred will 😀

Those runs still count towards averages - declaration bowling is as much a part of cricket as the bat and the ball. You’ve got to take everything into account. In a game where a team (generally) has to take 20 wickets to win a game, you can’t just overlook all the wickets taken in a second innings man!

see if you can get bonus points awarded for second innnings performance while you're at it, thing of all the batting points we've missed out on over the years getting skittled for 100 then scoring 300 in the second

Are there bonus points in this competition? Or just ‘points’.
 
All complaints will be sent to the Match Referee (GHFD) at the close of play.Possible dissent outbursts could result in a deduction of points 😄
