The Masakadza Bros are rescuing this big time

I know Zim is small but does any other country have so many family connections in its cricket history.

[Googly]

Pretty sure there's a declaration. They needed to make Eagles rush off and pad up and face a couple of overs before lunch, but they missed that opportunity.

[Pat_Bee]

So the title is in the bag now for mountaineers if they win? I’ve never understood bonus points and what what I noticed on the log there’s like “quotient” like wtf is that?!

[Googly]

Ya I'm not sure. I don't think quotient factors into it though unless it affects points. I think its all about the points and I'm not sure how those are awarded. There's batting points for reaching 300 in an innings I think, and clearly more for reaching 350.
Regarding the bowling points...I dunno.
Obviously points for the win and less points for the draw.
It might be conceivable that they'll have enuf points just with a draw, provided they take a certain number of wickets?

[Googly]

I found this from Maheara. I don't know if it's still relevant


I know a few people were wondering, so...

Points will be allocated as detailed below:
1. Outright win: 10
2. Tie or draw on double innings: 6
3. First innings points will be awarded only for batting and bowling performances in the first 100 overs of each first innings regardless of the result of the match as follows:

i. Batting bonus points: 1 point will be awarded upon reaching 175 runs. 1 point will then be awarded thereafter for every 50 runs scored.

ii. Bowling bonus points: One point each to be awarded for the fall of the 3rd, 5th,7th and 9th wickets. Only a maximum of 4 points shall be awarded.

If play starts with less than 10 hours of playing time remaining, a one innings match will be played. No bonus points will be awarded and the winning team will be awarded 6 points.

[Googly]

Rhinos are on 130
Mountaineers are on 116.
They need 15 points from this game.
Well that's what it looks like.

[Googly]

If this still applies their target was surely 375 in this innings?
But are points applicable in the second innings as well, or only the first?
It's annoying to watch and not know the permutations.

[Googly]

Well mountaineers are still batting so maybe it is 375?
A 451 overall lead would otherwise surely be enuf ?
