The Game

Fantasy Cricket is simple:

  1. Select 11 players to form your fantasy team
  2. Cricket players earn points for their performances in cricket matches
  3. Your total points are added up and ranked against the other fantasy teams

Team Selection

Your fantasy team must follow these rules:

  • 6 batsmen
  • 4 bowlers
  • 1 wicketkeeper

Substitutions must be made 15 minutes before the match start time. If the countdown timer on the subs page has passed then it is too late to substitute.

You can select a captain for your team who will score double points. Changing your captain will cost you 20 points.

You can also substitute players for new ones. You can do this 4 times per month for free, then it will cost 50 points per substitution.

NOTE: Subs only take effect for games that start after you made them. If you make a substitution for a game that is already past its start time it will not count.

If you aren't getting points you didn't make your subtitutions in time

The limit on number of teams is 5 per user. If you are caught playing with more than 5 teams of a type, your top scoring teams will be deleted until you only have 5 teams left.

Scoring

For each player in your line-up:

1 run   1 point
1 wicket   25 points
1 catch   5 points
1 stumping   5 points


Fantasy Money

On your profile page you will see how much Fantasy money you currently have. You can earn fantasy money here and then spend it on things like changing the background picture on your profile page. You can also spend $50 fantasy money to cloak your team - which means other players cannot see the substitutions you have made.

As we grow the site we will be building new things to spend your fantasy money on and more exciting ways to earn fantasy money. Keep your eyes peeled for changes

Badges

When you perform certain actions on the site, you will earn Badges that are then displayed on your profile page. You can see a list of badges here.
