County cricket points

[mahbubH]

I like the way county cricket teams get points from a match. There are batting and bowling bonus points in it.

Our NCL point system is simple: winner gets 6 points, in case of draw the team scored more first innings run gets 4 points and other one gets 2 points. I think inclusion similar to "county cricket point system" approach in our NCL would make the matches more interesting.

------------------------------ From BBC ---------------
CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS

Win: 14, Tie: 7, Draw: 4

Batting bonuses:
200-249 runs - 1pt
250-299 runs - 2pts
300-349 runs - 3pts
350-399 runs - 4pts
400 and over - 5pts

Bowling bonuses:
3-5 wkts - 1pt
6-8 wkts - 2pts
9-10 wkts - 3pts

Bonus points apply for first 130 overs of the first innings only

Ya, there are always some differences between make-shift and true test openers.

Can anybody know whether batting/bowling bonus point system has ever used in Dhaka league?

My guess, in late 70's or early 80's Dhaka league used the point system similar to county cricket point system. (hope someone will confirm this because I can only vaugely remember reading such point tables in daily newspaper).
