Re: Ashes 2023
What are your thoughts on the multi-game format (and points system) for the women's Ashes?

Re: Ashes 2023
Not ideal but unless they play 3 tests then probably the best idea.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 9:32 am Women's and Men's well poised for decent finishes.
Issue though is the points, if it's multi format then should it be almost impossible to lose if you win the test?

Re: Ashes 2023
This for me is where the points system is flawed - it should be such a way that the total points is an odd number so there is a guaranteed winner (and a lot less chance of a 'drawn' series)God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 1:28 pmCelebrating retainingFrank Costanza wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 11:08 am Congrats to the Aussie women for retaining the Ashes![]()

Maybe 6 points for the Test, 3 points for each ODI and 2 points for each T20

Re: Ashes 2023
Draw would obviously still be possible. Hard to think of a way to ensure it doesn't happen. Maybe most boundaries?Frank Costanza wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 4:27 pmThis for me is where the points system is flawed - it should be such a way that the total points is an odd number so there is a guaranteed winner (and a lot less chance of a 'drawn' series)God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 1:28 pmCelebrating retainingFrank Costanza wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 11:08 am Congrats to the Aussie women for retaining the Ashes![]()

I was thinking about this today. Maybe if equal points then whoever has won the most games.

Re: Ashes 2023
Surely they need to go with black stumps, to appease the BLM activists.

Re: Ashes 2023
Can we just have a set stumps at each end, with no political agenda plastered over them?

Re: Ashes 2023
England on top after day one. Only saw the first session, but that looked a 400+ pitch to me, and barring any tail-end miracles, we will fall well short of that. I guess it will depend on how well we bowl/field.

I thought you said you can't evaluate until both sides bat.
