2021-22 Ashes Tipping Competition
The 2021-22 Ashes Tipping Competition Rules:
1.
Pick 2 (two) batsmen and 2 (two) bowlers from both England and Australia who you think will score the most runs and take the most wickets.
You get both batting and bowling points per innings so a bowler who scores runs has both batting and bowling scores added together.
e.g.
Warner, Labuschagne, Starc, Cummins
Malan, Root, Broad, Anderson
2.
Pick 1 (one) fielder from each team; excluding wicket keepers for most catches in the Series.
It can be a bowler (for c&b) if you want.
e.g.
Smith, Stokes
3.
Select which wicket keeper will take the greatest number of catches, stumpings and run outs combined for each Test.
If a wicket keeper is injured then the replacement keeper's figures shall be used.
e.g.
Australia (Carey) or England (Bairstow... or Buttler) or the same number of dismissals.
4.
Predict the Toss:
a) Who wins the toss?
e.g.
Australia
b) Winning captain's decision - bat or field?
e.g.
Bat
5.
a) Predict the 1st Ashes Test result.
e.g.
Australia or England or Draw
Selections must be posted a minimum one (1) hour before the commencement of each Test. No PM reminders shall be sent.
Scoring:
Note:
The figures in bold below represent changes to previous competition scoring values.
I have increased the bonus amounts - for batting and bowling bonuses, the toss and captain's decision and for correctly selecting the test match result - for added point-scoring value.
1.
1 point for every run scored by your nominated batsmen. Add together for each Test.
Bonus 25 points for 100 runs.
extra 30 points for 150 runs.
extra 45 points for 200 runs.
extra 60 points for 250 runs.
extra 125 bonus points for 300+ runs.
Note: the batting & bowling score bonuses accumulate so;
Batting: (per innings)
100 runs = 125 points. A player scores 137 runs + 25 = 162 points.
150 runs = 205 points. A player scores 177 runs + 25 + 30 = 232 points.
200 runs = 300 points. A player scores 243 runs + 25 + 30 + 45 = 343 points.
250 runs = 410 points. A player scores 282 runs + 25 + 30 + 45 + 60 = 442 points
300+ runs = 585 points. A player scores 321 runs + 25 + 30 + 45 + 60 + 125 = 606 points.
Bowling: (per innings)
25 points per wicket with a bonus 50 points for a 5-fer.
An extra 30 points for 6-fer, 45 for 7-fer, 60 for 8-fer, 75 for 9-fer.
An extra 100 bonus points for a 10-fer.
5 wickets = 125 points + 50 = 175 points
6 wickets = 150 points + 50 + 30 = 230 points.
7 wickets = 175 points + 50 + 30 + 45 = 300 points
8 wickets = 200 points + 50 + 30 + 45 + 60 = 385 points
9 wickets = 225 points + 50 + 30 + 45 + 60 + 75 = 485 points
10 wickets = 250 points + 50 + 30 + 45 + 60 + 75 + 100 = 610 points
Caught and bowled = 25 points for the wicket + 25 bonus points for the catch = 50 points.
2.
Fielder catches: Your nominated fieldsman earns you 25 points per catch and 25 points for a run out.
3.
Wicket keepers: 50 points for correct selection for most dismissals across both innings.
Or if you think the wicket keepers will take the same number of total dismissals per innings - then nominate "the same" = 50 points.
If they take the same number of catches and stumpings (combined) and you've picked either one of the keepers - then you earn 25 points only.
4.
a) Correctly predict who wins the toss = 25 points
b) Correctly predict what the winning Captain decides to do = 25 points - only for those with part a) above correct; no points if your a) was incorrect.
5.
a) Correctly predict the winning team for each Test match = 125 points.
b) If you guess all 5 Test match outcomes correctly then there is a further 125 point bonus = 625 + 125 = 750 points.
Note: Correctly predict a "Draw" = 125 points
If one (or more) of your selected players gets injured during a match or is dropped from the Test side after a match, then you’ll have the opportunity to select replacement players – either as it happens - for the injured player or before the next Test commences (for a player who gets dropped).
It doesn’t have to be the actual substitute player – it can be somebody else already in the team. However, you don’t receive any of their previous points up until the point of the replacement of the injured player from the field – you must start accumulating points from scratch with them.
*****
December 8-12, 2021: 1st Test at The 'Gabba, Brisbane. Australia won by 9 wickets (1-0)
December 16-20, 2021: 2nd Test (D/N) at Adelaide Oval. Australia won by 275 runs (2-0)
December 26-30, 2021: 3rd Test at MCG. Australia won by an innings and 14 runs (3-0)

Re: 2021-22 Ashes Tipping Competition
Thanks for your kind words, KP_fan.
I'm glad to have woken you from your hiatus... how many hours is it since India won?
It was a fascinating match and I'm sure you feel much better now.
I'm going to spend another day thinking about my selections... just in case there are one or two surprises.

Re: 2021-22 Ashes Tipping Competition
Excellent work once more, Joey!
I'll let you have all my choices in the next day or so but please put me down now for my usual Australian bowlers and tell any other poster who tries to muscle in on them that you've sold out.

No, thank you. The amount of work you put into this shames me, Pee Jay. You're a good egg, you really are.
I couldn't decide between Smith and Little Davie for the Aussie catching. Probably should have gone with Smith but it gave me the chance to put an asterix in Little Davies name which amused me if nothing else.

I'll have C+ Oak please.
Yes, it's only a minor calf strain... as I heard on the news.
So Sir Chris it is.

Re: 2021-22 Ashes Tipping Competition
Thanks alfie and Goose... great to see you back!
Tino. You'll have to forgive me for not deciphering your code. My rhyming slang is quite rusty... if it ever existed.
OK, you've got Wood and Anne Bancroft's ovver 'alf.

Re: 2021-22 Ashes Tipping Competition
Thanks everyone. It's just like the old days.
I'll put a link to here on the "Ashes and Other Cricket" thread and see if we can get a few more on board.
Hopefully Olly and JD will be here. They're probably just checking out the weather report which I've gotta say doesn't look too good.
However, watching the morning news right now... there's some reporter standing outside the ground and it's not raining.
Ooooh... the weather icon for Brisbane shows both a grey and a white cloud with lightning flashing quickly. But that's only a prediction, right?

No Anderson, so I'll go with Robinson. Given the weather forecast, I'll also switch to Australia bowling if they win the toss.

Cheers Olly and Dolphin.
James, Robinson noted and also the your change for the toss. England won the toss.
Compelling... that Starc wicket first ball caught me by surprise.
Congratulations on the bub... hopefully there will be some quiet hushed periods where sleep won't be interrupted.

Hi compelling - so you've got a poorly one year old who's not sleeping and just seen one of your England batsmen skittled by an Aussie bowler you didn't pick ... oh well, hang in there, mate, things will get better.

Flipper... I'll ignore the last "Stokes" and have you down for Wood and Robinson as your England bowlers.

Points Table
1st Test, Brisbane, Day 1:
351 JDizzle [251] *#
334 Gooseberry [334] *#
326 Superflyweight [326] *#
314 Afro [314] *#
313 King Carlos [313] *#
307 KP_Fan [307]
306 Olly [306]
305 Lowlandbrit [305] *
288 Duty [288] *
277 Guildfordbat [277]
276 Alfie [276]
276 Pal Joey [276]
263 Dolphin [263]
263 James [263]
258 Compelling and Rich [258]
255 Soul Requiem [255] *
189 Tino [189] *#
* denotes correct pick England win toss
# denotes correct pick England elected to bat
Average score: 288 [288]
First figure - accumulative score / accumulative average score
Second figure in [brackets] - daily score / daily average
Notes:
JDizzle once again got out to a great start closely followed by Gooseberry. He currently leads by 17 points.
All of us got the bonus 50 points for Cummins' 5-fer... except for Tino.
Tino did, however, correctly pick the toss and the Captain's decision along with JD, Goose, Super, Afro and KC.
Lowland, Soul and Duty got the toss right but thought Joe would opt to bowl/field.
It's an earlier 10:30 (GMT +10) start tomorrow for Day 2... and hopefully the weather will be fine.

Not much over zero from my England bats but I think I picked the right Australian bowlers Might be sharing both those factors with a number of other posters though ...

You were clearly leading for the first half hour or so. Then the rest of the pack came through on the back of Cummo. I thought perhaps you might have had some cunning inside information none of us knew about. I wouldn't panic too much. As we all know things can change pretty quickly.

Nah. I just thought he might not be as effective with the added burden of captaincy. That was my logic for not picking him. But that is because I am an absolute moron, Pee Jay.
Great stuff though, champ. Appreciate the effort as ever. I thought you might have got a bit giddy with the Aussie performance and posted the table upside down. Before I remembered I am a moron.
