Test Cricket — Season Eight
-- NSSport Cricket Discussion Thread
-- Scheduling Thread
This is the thread for scores, rosters and RPs for the eighth season of Test cricket on here. Please do not arrange series on here, head to the SCHEDULING THREAD to do that!
Cricket, can be something of an, ahem, impenetrable sport to get into and understand, so here are a few links for those who might be slightly unsure of what the hell is happening here to look over:
-- Wikipedia page on Test Cricket
-- Explanation of how Test cricket works
-- A Beginners Guide to Cricket (Relatively Lengthy but Very Good!)
-- An image describing common positions players can field at on a cricket field.
-- Types of bowling in cricket.
Additionally, my TG box is always open for any questions related to cricket that you might have! There is something called Test Match Special in England which is a bit of an institution and is a radio program for international cricket occurring with English teams and it can be listened to on the BBC Sport website and could be a good way of improving any cricket knowledge. I often have it on at work in the background!
All games will be scored by me (except for a few where I may be busy and Liventia may step in) using Redballer 2.0. This is an Excel based spreadsheet which has dependencies for ranks and RP, as well as a home ground bonus. You may give any ground a style modifier between +6 and -6, with +6 being a ground where a lot of runs are likely to be scored, while -6 will be a good ground for bowlers and less runs are likely to be scored.
