Results & Statistics Links to this and previous seasons results and statistics can be found at the bottom of the page. The 2011 sees the introduction of a new points system that increases the number of points for a straight win but also provides the opportunity of collecting bonus points depending upon the result. It's also a little more complicated to describe and work out but here goes for the basics (I think !): Games in the BMSSCL start at 14:00 and consist of 40 Overs per team (Max). Win - 25 Points The team batting first Score n runs and then bowl the team batting second all out for less runs (a win by n Runs)........or......the Team batting second score more runs that the team that batted first (a win by n Wickets). Winning Draw - 16 points plus any Bonus Points The team batting first score n runs but the team batting second do not score the required total but yet are not all out ! Draw - 6 points plus any Bonus Points Scores exactly level - doesn't happen very often ! Losing Draw - 4 points - possibly 5 plus any Bonus Points ! Reference Winning Draw above but the 4 points goes to the team batting second who do not reach the required total without being all out. As an incentive to chase 5 points are available if 75% of the required score is attained. Defeat - Bonus points only You bat first and score x runs. The team batting second reach the required target and score 1 or more runs........or........The team batting second are bowled all out for a lower total than the team that batted first. Bonus points Batting - Awarded to teams not gaining a win or winning draw 75-99 runs = 1 point 100-124 runs = 2 points 125-149 runs = 3 points 150-174 rus = 4 points 175+ runs = 5 points Maximum Bowling - Awarded to teams not gaining a win 2-3 wickets = 1 point 4-5 wickets = 2 points 6-7 wickets = 3 points 8-9 wickets = 4 points 10 wickets (or all out) = 5 points Maximum Should a game be called off or not completed due to Weather 5 Points is awarded to each team. Simple !

The Laws and Spirit of Cricket from the MCC description of the game for spectators from the Cricinfor website....... ......the less detailed explanation goes something like: You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in goes out and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. When both sides have been in and out, including the not outs --- that's the end of the game.
