Kippax
Cricketer Of The Year
Okay to give this division a slight point of difference and maybe attract some double-dippers from Division 1, points hauls in Tests will be given a 1.3x prestige bonus. Probably quite rightly too, given the difficulty of the 2019/20 Test assignments.
Six spots open to prompt entries, Vandem and NZT obviously involved if they want to be.
Test matches: England (2, late Nov), Australia away (3, Dec-Jan), India (2, late Feb)
Plunket Shield: Oct-Nov (3), Feb-Mar (5)
NZA: India A in Jan-Feb (2)
Note: The Raval/Wagner type of player available for the early Plunket Shield rounds (Rd. 2 and Rd. 3 will clash with a NZ vs. England T20 series), the March Plunket Shield rounds (clashing with ODIs and T20Is vs. Australia), also players chosen for the two matches against India A, have an advantage from a scheduling point of view. Only a player's highest eight points hauls of the season will count towards his total.
Only five of your first XI draftees (six including the 12th man, who comes in for injuries) can score more bowling points in the season than batting points. Otherwise, infringing players on your team will go to zero.
Anyone you bat at No. 9-11 scoring more batting points in the season than bowling points, infringing players on your team will go to zero.
Your designated wicket-keeper will only score non-WK fielding points if he's making way for a gloveman with Test caps (Seifert for Watling, but not Phillips for Horne, etc.)
Ratio'd Spud Drafted player with the worst ratio of points to games played -100 points
King of the Openers Drafted player to score the most runs as an opener 200 bonus points
Non-Ravindra Emerging Player Excluding Rachin Ravindra, the highest points tally for a drafted player born 1997 or later 200 bonus points
Eligible would be Allen, Bhula, Chu, Clarkson, Fisher, Foxcroft, Z. Gibson, Leopard, Ludick, Murray, D. Phillips, Sears, Sheat, Smith, etc.
