The fantasy cricket section certainly looks a lot more inviting. I think the point per run in Tests and ODIs is too generous (not sure for Twenty20), if we put aside the penalties for batting and bowling (the ducks would probably stuff bowlers as well as batsmen, unless they only count for batsmen) the average top order batter is going to get 30 in ODIs, 40 in Tests (per innings) - ie 30 or 40 points. The bowlers would get one and a bit wickets (say 1.6 for example) on average - that's 8 points in ODIs. Or you've got Tests where on average they'll get maybe 3 wickets per innings on average if you're lucky - 15 points. That's a big difference.
