12. Super Bonus Point for One Dayers

CURRENT STATUS

NOTICE OF MOTION ready.
 ABM 25-Jun-2018



WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
  • First team batting collapses for 35 all out in 10 overs, second team achieves a result inside a few overs...
  • Result: big win but relatively few bonus points (4 + 1.5 + 0.36 =  5.86)...
  • Compared to a more "normal' game (eg. 9/150 def by 2/151 (points for winners are 4 + 1.35 + 1.51 =  6.86)
  • Result: More points scored for a routine win than for a major win. 
By bowling well and dismissing the first batting side cheaply the second team effectively misses out on a whole bonus point.

DISCUSSION
So introduce a super bonus point for results inside 15  20 overs.*
* Note: does not apply in rain shortened games.



What about the Sunday 50 over games? A super bonus point for results inside 30 overs.
(Tweaked minimum overs for bonus point and reworded proposed qualification condition. 25-Jun-2018)

An alternative suggestion was to run a scheme based on net run rate. The Super Bonus Point is easier to implement. The net run rate idea might be considered in the future.

Q. How can a super bonus point for a win be achieved within 20 overs for a team bowling second?

Such as:
  • In a match where team 1 bats first and scores 2/150 in 35 overs.
  • Team 1 then takes all 10 wickets of team 2 within 20 overs.
  • Team 1 would claim a super bonus point in such a case.
A. The proposed Reg 11.21.6 covers such a circumstance. It is possible for either team to achieve a super bonus point regardless of the coin toss.

Q. What about interruptions for bad light ? Often bad light curtails the end of the second innings.
A. In such a case Sat Reg 11.10 would apply: result determined by average run rate. At this point both sides would have received more than 20 overs so Super Bonus Point would not apply.

For a bad light interruption any earlier in the day then the match becomes an interrupted match as described in Sat Reg 11.5-11.8. Super Bonus Point will not apply in accordance with new reg 11.21.6.1

Q. What if there are only say 4 overs lost due to rain and each side then receives 33 overs instead of 35. If you chased the total down inside 20 overs, should that still qualify ?
A. Sat Reg 11.21.6.1. says no.



A PROPOSAL

Add the following Regulation for Saturdays

11.21.6 A super bonus point will be awarded for a win achieved by the end of 20 overs.
11.21.6.1 This will not apply in any match delayed, interrupted or rearranged as in regulations 11.5 to 11.8


A similar added regulation can be added for the Sunday 50 Over comp.

26.1.1.5 A super bonus point will be awarded for a win achieved
by the end of 30 overs.
26.1.1.5.1 This will not apply in any match delayed, interrupted or rearranged as in regulations 15 to 16.


(This might get renumbered. See other posts in this blog...)

    Bonus Pts in One Day Games

    We should not have bonus points in a competition that is purely One Day Games it should be Net Run Rate ie 50 Over Comp. Net Run Rate compensates for the scenario you presented in the blog. Getting runs quickly after bowling a team out. You get a very good Net Run Rate when you complete that scenario. It can be used easily to determine who makes finals and ladder placings. It may have some relevance in Saturday One-Dayers where there are bonus points from Two Day games combined in the ladder.

  2. Hi Anthony,

    Just to clarify, does the proposal of awarding a super bonus point for a win achieved within 15 overs also apply to the team bowling second ? i.e. if the team batting second was all out for 35 in 10 overs, then the bowling side should receive the super bonus point.

    We should make sure that both teams have a chance to receive a super bonus point, not just the team batting second, otherwise you could be disadvantaged by batting first as you won't get the chance to receive any super bonus points.

    Also, regarding this only applying to matches that aren't rain affected, what about bad light ? What if there are only say 4 overs lost due to rain and each side then receives 33 overs instead of 35. If you chased the total down inside 15 overs, should that still qualify ?

    Adam.

    1. Yep good thought Adam.
      So in a match where the team batting first scores 2/150 in 35 overs and then that team takes all 10 wickets of team 2 within 15 overs?
      The win is claimed within 15 overs. I reckon the wording in the proposal covers such a circumstance. Team 1 would be claiming 1 super bonus point in such a case.
