This is just like the Rugby and Football/Soccer competitions except it is Cricket it will run for some length of time(If people are interested) and will cover One Day Internationals and test matches as well as Provincial Cricket and anything else i can randomly come up with including my own matches.

You get to pick the team that will win and by how many wickets or runs.

For each game you can pick 2 choices.

Wellington Firebirds to beat Canterbury Wizards by 2 wickets if The Wizards batted first or if Wellington was to bat first and you think Canterbury couldn't match Wellingtons score you could say Wellington by 17 runs.

Also pick 3 Batsmen who you think will top score in the combined innings and if one of the players you picked top scores you will get 5 Bonus points.

Same goes for Bowlers, pick two bowlers and the one with the most wickets and a decent Economy rate( For instance 10 overs 1 maiden 4 wickets for 56 isnt going to beat 10 Overs 0 maidens 2 wickets for 22.
-I'll decide that as we go along or if i find a better system.

Anyone interested?-Apart from Peisandros.

Gawd, NZ domestic cricket. You have to be really paying attention to try and pick that shit. Based on the squads, Auckland has pillaged everybody and should win. They'll probably fuck it up, but they should win.
