Well they've sorta changed the rules for the One Day competition this year.

They've made it 12 players per side and each bowler can bowl 12 overs but I wouldn't care about all that, 11 players with 9/10 overs each is fine.

What they've done though is put a split innings in due to the problem of chasing under lights. So the team batting first will bat for 20 overs, where the innings is suspended while the other team bats 20 overs, and whoever has more runs at that stage gets one point. Then the first team bats another 25 overs so a total of 45 overs and then the other team will chase down that total so it resumes to a normal one day match so they'll have to the 45 over mark to chase down the total. The winner of the match gets 4 points so a maximum of 5 points is allowed. There hasn't been a match where either a side has got bowled out in 20 overs or one team hasn't had to bat their second innings (apart from a NR game) so I'm unsure what happens then, I guess the winning team would get all 5 points.

The Sheffield Shield and T20 Big Bash are simple and have a look at the cricinfo pages for point details.

----------

Here are the Sheffield Shield points system.

A win (irrespective of the first innings result) 6
A tie (irrespective of the first innings result) 3
A first innings lead in a drawn or lost match 2
A first innings tie in a drawn or lost match 1
A loss on the first innings 0
An outright loss after being behind on the first innings 0
Abandoned or drawn matches with no first innings result 0
 
Ok, awesome. Western Australia done and that is all the Australian players/teams finished. Here is the database so far.

Edit: I'm sure I put the attachment with this.

I don't think I'll do anything else tonight. I'll try and get 2/3 teams done tomorrow afternoon then finish off the South African teams on Saturday and try and do most of the New Zealand teams on Sunday. Then I'll finish them on Monday/Tuesday and then start the hard mission of doing the English teams during the week, hopefully done by Saturday and have maybe one more nation done by Sunday. Putting that together, that means that it will probably take me two more weeks to do the Indian, Sri Lankan, Bangladesh, Pakistani and West Indies leagues. I won't worry about Zimbabwe domestic cricket but I'll make the players without a team to them.

Did we need a domestic league for Bangladesh as well?
 
Argh, I meant teams that play both FC and OD cricket. The Ranji Trophy is just a FC competition.

There is also a Ranji One-Day Trophy. All cricinfo seems to say about it is who won it since 2002-03 season (presumably when it started). The team names sound about the same as the Ranji (first-class) Trophy teams.

Cricinfo also talks about a comp called the Vijay Hazare Trophy. I think this may be the official name of the "Ranji One-Day Trophy".

Hey guys,

I haven't managed to finish all the updates I would've liked to. I'm going to hold off on releasing anything until Monday when I'm back at work.

Cheers
Kurt
 
Ok kurt. Means I won't be getting distracted by a new update. I don't mind doing the South African teams, they have mainly less than 20 players and I know I don't have to do a great job in accurate abilities since I don't know a whole lot about South African cricket.

Also, why isn't Dale Steyn in any of the domestic squads on cricinfo? Anyway. I'm just going to use your squad lists.
