Fantasy Cricket
I’m sure you’ve all heard of fantasy football or fantasy cricket and also sure that a lot of you will have played these with the likes of The Telegraph, Sky Sports and so on.
This year were going to try and introduce a little extra edge to everyone’s league performances with our own fantasy league.
So the idea is this, we run a fantasy league using Old Elizabethans players to form the fantasy teams. The games players will score points for are the league games and the points system will be as follows:
- 1 Run = 1 Point
- 1 Wicket = 10 points
- 1 Catch = 5 points
- 1 Stumping = 10 Points
You will also pick a Captain who will score double points.
You will also need to pick a “formation” which will be one of the following:
- 5 Batsmen
- 1 Wicket Keeper
- 1 All-Rounder
- 4 Bowlers
or:
- 5 Batsmen
- 1 Wicket Keeper
- 5 Bowlers
or:
- 6 Batsmen
- 1 Wicket Keeper
- 4 Bowlers
I’ve made the ratings for the players and they are based on the points system above with the league games from last year.

| Alan Rajah | 6 | Alex Herbert | 8 | Carlos Jadunauth | 10 |

Leave a comment below giving your feedback on this idea, I thought we could charge a small entrance fee of £5 per team with all money going towards a prize fund. So if we have 20 teams, the prize fund will be £100 with the prizes being 1st £50, 2nd £30 & 3rd £20.
I’ll post the rules and a page for registration of your teams on the site next week.

Love the idea I wonder if anyone will take Gibbo tho?! Notice I’m worth more than him!! Good news!
I assume there is a limit on the amount of points u can have by the way!
didn’t take you long – i thought Gibbo was rated lower than that, turns out it was my rating that was lower :(
