15 runs off 16 or more balls = 15 points == same as taking 1 wicket

just for clarification

Always open to suggestions. Here are the problems:

1. Batting points have a higher ceiling than bowling points. People do score 60, 70, 100 runs. How many times do we see bowlers take more than 4 wickets?

2. Bits and pieces players can chip in a wicket and 15 runs.

Here are the stats

Brandon King 422 runs gave him 422 points without SR bonus.
Alzarri Joseph 18 wickets gave him 270 points without Econ and Maiden bonus.

In the past I made wickets 20 because it appears to be a batters league. Then the bits and pieces men who bowl sugar but get 1 wicket and chip in 14 runs gave as much as a specialist bat who scored 34.

It is early so I am open to changes once people do not start picking teams.

oh i wasn't suggesting you change it at all...i just wanted clarification


if you want to go harder on batters then i might consider a bonus for SR 120+ (and 1 run = 1pt from 100 - < 120) and SR * runs for those <100 so if you score 15 at 99 you get 15 * 99/100 ...

overall bonus for those with good SRs and economy and penalties for those with poor SRs / economies - which you already have mostly...just the degrees of...

In reply to doosra

Maybe move the SR bonus back to >=120. Having it at 100 makes it more of a batters league

In reply to Arlo

that is what i was thinking more or less

In reply to Arlo
Arlo, U rem last year U beat me by 1 pt? &#128513;
R U ready to go again?

In reply to nick2020


So if a player makes a direct hit runout without involving the keeper or another fielder, he gets 10 points instead of 15?

Hahaha. Wasn't that the year before the last? I won in 2021. I didn't win last year. But I am ready for this year. Already have my XI picked. Waiting to see if Nick will adjust the scoring system

In reply to Arlo



I took away 4s/6s so I lowered the SR as a concession.

In reply to nick2020

Got it, I didn't notice that you took away the 4s and 6s.

This was 2022 CPL FL Best XI

Stat - Best XI

Kyle Mayers 1045
Imad Wasim 970
Jason Holder 870
Alzarri Joseph 799
Sunil Narine 746
David Wiese 726
Brandon King 725
Rahkeem Cornwall 685
Faf du Plessis 642
Mohammad Amir 564
Chris Green 554

Brandon King was the best bat and Alzarri was the best wicket taker yet they get overtaken by more allround guys.

Kyle Mayers was second in runs and being able to take wickets put him 300+ more points than Brandon King. Johnson Charles not even in the top 11 despite being third in runs.

I would like to find a way to either reward specialist bats or depress the allrounder factor. Don't get me wrong Kyle Mayers deserves to be #1 given he had 8 wickets on top of 2nd in runs but the specialists have to be outstanding to get the same points as the allrounders.

Which is why I tried to give more points to economical bowlers. Dunno how to help the specialist bats though.

5 days to go

In reply to Narper



I think the best possible league would be one where batsmen, bowlers and allrounders are viable. I pick allrounders too because they are safe. If they don't contribute in one area they can in another. I also like wicketkeeper top order batsmen.
