Talk:County Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you don't really know cricket, it doesn't tell you if this is test, four-day, one-day matches.

  • As far as I am aware, the points system for the County cricket is as follows:

14 pts for a win 7 pts for each team in a tie 4 pts for each team in a draw FIRST INNINGS points are awarded for each team in the first 130 overs of each innings and retained whatever the result of the match: (a)A maximum of five batting points to be available as under: 200 to 249 runs 1 point 250 to 299 runs 2 points 300 to 349 runs 3 points 350 to 399 runs 4 points 400 runs or over 5 points b) A maximum of three bowling points to be available as under: 3 to 5 wickets taken 1 point 6 to 8 wickets taken 2 points 9 to 10 wickets taken 3 points

This is verifed under the cricinfo website on: http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005/ENG_LOCAL/CC1/CC1_TABLE_2005.html

Hope this helps.


  • The league tables seem to be rarely updated on this page. Unless anyone has any objections, I will remove the sub-section around the start of the 2007 season and maintain a link to cricinfo's current standings pages Seedybob2, September 17, 2006
      • Sam - Fair point, but given what you've said - why not wait until each season finishes - then put up a summary of it? You do maintain a fair few pages yourself and seem to be the only one contributing to the tables. You're doing a grand job, but if no-one else is going to assist, I'd suggest you make it easier for yourself Seedybob2 19:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
