1 million points to anyone who can prove the Riemann hypothesis

Should get (1/2 + λi) points.

 

[Spark]

Hah. Well played.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Should get (1/2 + λi) points.

True. Could add some much needed complexity to the standings.

I'd say 5 points for a win, 1 for a draw. No bonus points. Encourage attacking cricket etc.

(That is assuming we can tell you things like our declaration methods etc)

 

[Spark]

Yep, you will. That's one reason for my second suggestion.

 

[Cevno]

But what happens then if the SIm has a draw due to rain or a real flat pitch?

 

[Spark]

Hard luck, I guess.

 

[Howe_zat]

It seems like most people are happy to prepare sporting wickets, judging from the Home Grounds thread.

Quite like the idea of encouraging going for a win. I just thought we'd have little control over captaincy.

 

[Spark]

You basically have as much control over tactics as you want short of actually simming it yourself. You set the bowling order, who you want to be used as a part timer and when, when/if to use a nightwatchman, in what situations to become extra offensive/defensive, when to declare etc. etc.

 

[Cevno]

Itstl.

Pews does it automatically on cricsim.

 

[Spark]

As in, you tell me in the lineups thread ofc.

I'll do my best to remember everything

 

[Cevno]

How can we tell you when to declare and when to use a night watchman in the lineups thread?

 

[Spark]

By saying "use a nightwatchman if _________________, declare if ________________________"

 

[Furball]

How can we tell you when to declare and when to use a night watchman in the lineups thread?

A combination of morse code and smoke signals.

 

[Cevno]

By saying "use a nightwatchman if _________________, declare if ________________________"

It could get really specific and tough to remember if you are going to be simming 8 games to remember.

For example use a nightwatchman if we are chasing above 300 in the last innings and on the 4th day in the last 10 overs of the day a wicket falls ,but not before that.
Also use a pinch hitter if we are chasing more than 300 runs the last day or if the required run rate goes above 6.


The declaration stuff gets even more messy,say if Sehwag or a Gayle is playing for the opposition and depends on how the track is behaving.

 

[Spark]

Well that's the risk that you take, I guess. Don't get stupid about it or I simply won't remember it.

Well maybe if he gave people more freedom he'd still be in BOTM

Would have helped him no end if people still thought he was a girl.
