Season 9 One Day Cricket Rule Change

    As of next season, bowlers will be permitted to bowl ten overs maximum instead of current nine. However, no more than 45 overs total are to be bowled by any set of five bowlers - ie. your sixth bowler combination still needs to bowl five.

    For example, you could have this:

    Bowler A: 10 overs
    Bowler B: 10 overs
    Bowler C: 10 overs
    Bowler D: 10 overs
    Bowler E: 5 overs
    Bowler F: 5 overs

    Or this:

    Bowler A: 10 overs
    Bowler B: 10 overs
    Bowler C: 10 overs
    Bowler D: 9 overs
    Bowler E: 6 overs
    Bowler F: 5 overs

    Or this:

    Bowler A: 10 overs
    Bowler B: 10 overs
    Bowler C: 10 overs
    Bowler D: 10 overs
    Bowler E: 5 overs
    Bowler F: 3 overs
    Bowler G: 2 overs

    Or this:

    Bowler A: 9 overs
    Bowler B: 9 overs
    Bowler C: 9 overs
    Bowler D: 9 overs
    Bowler E: 9 overs
    Bowler F: 5 overs

    Or this:

    Bowler A: 10 overs
    Bowler B: 8 overs
    Bowler C: 8 overs
    Bowler D: 8 overs
    Bowler E: 8 overs
    Bowler F: 8 overs

    etc etc.

    Basically, the five bowlers who bowl the most overs can only bowl 45 between them, maximum.

    Why are you against 5 bowlers bowling 10 each?
     
  3. MightyPies DA Alessi

    Yeah, thats alrgiht. I think it will work well.
     
  4. RyanG R Gee

    He wanted to make the all rounders more important iirc.
     
  5. Ged GEC King

    iirc, he wants to make allrounders valuable.
     
  6. Cribbage RG Cribb

    We have a lot of allrounders in CricSim, they become less useful if you let teams just pick five bowlers and we'd end up with too many of them in reserve grade.
     
  7. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Allrounders would be valuable with only 5 bowlers.
     
  8. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I actually flirted with the idea of having 60 overs games with 10 overs per bowler and allowing the 12th man to bowl (just to get more people involved basically), but it was too unlike real-life OD cricket so I scrapped the idea.

    Terrible ****ing idea.

    Not as valuable as they are with 6 though, which is the point.
     
  11. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Indeed. It's good for you anyway Gemmell, gives you more chance of getting a bowl.
     
  12. Incey BC Jacobs

    More chance for him to face part-time spinners though. Lol.
     
  13. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Yeah, I know that.
     
  14. Wilson SB Wilson

    Save yourself all the trouble and just scrap the format.
     
  15. Incey BC Jacobs

    Lol.
     
  16. Ged GEC King

    haha.

    Sounds good. Makes your best bowlers more effective.
