After a batsmen-dominated Ranji Trophy second round that had as many as
34 centuries,and
nine of the 12 league games ended in draws this is the time
to rethink the point system in our top rank domestic championship.
Here we quoted about other domestic championship point system
in England and south africa compared with our system .
And also some foreign coaches also criticsice about our point system
Meyrick Pringle rajastan coach
Pringle calls for Ranji points revamp
After a batsmen-dominated Ranji Trophy round that had as many as 34 centuries,
Meyrick Pringle,
the Rajasthan coach, has called for additional points to be awarded
for
runs scored and wickets taken, irrespective of the match's result.
While some of the changes
introduced to the Ranjis this season have come in for praise,
including
the introduction of three tiers, the points system remains almost
untouched.
Though the BCCI has introduced an additional point for an
outright victory in order to
encourage the teams to go for an outright
victory, it seems to have had little impact
on the teams' attitude as
nine of the 12 second-round league games ended in draws.
Pringle, the former South Africa bowler who has been in charge of
defending champions
Rajasthan this year, wanted the BCCI to follow the
example of the English or the
South African domestic competitions.
Dermot Reeve, Maharashtra coach
Maharashtra coach Dermot Reeve feels the points system in the Ranji Trophy needs
to be amended.“The
present points system isn’t good,” he said after his team’s 104-run
loss to Tamil Nadu on Tuesday. The former England cricketer spoke in favor of additional points
for batting and bowling performances.“If,
for instance, a team scores 400 in 110 overs, it should be awarded four
points. Similarly, if the bowling side picks up four wickets in 110
overs, four points should be given to the team.“A
team scoring an outright victory should get 10 points. Such a points
system has been used in England for a long time now and it has been
successful.”
Points system in England county championship
The county championship works on a points system, the winner being the team
with most points in the first division. The points are currently awarded as follows:
Win: 16 points + bonus points.
Tie: 8 points + bonus points.
Draw: 3 points + bonus points.
Loss: Bonus points.
Bonus points are collected for batting and bowling. These points can only be obtained
from the first 110 overs of each team's first innings.
The bonus points are retained regardless of the outcome of the match.
Batting
200-249 runs: 1 point
250-299 runs: 2 points
300-349 runs: 3 points
350-399 runs: 4 points
400+ runs: 5 points
Bowling
3-5 wickets taken: 1 point
6-8 wickets taken: 2 points
9-10 wickets taken: 3 points
Deductions
(Occasionally, a team may have points deducted.
These are normally small deductions, between 0.5 and 1 point and are most
commonly handed out for slow over rates or for poor pitches. More severe deductions can be levied however;for example, in 2005 Surrey were handed an 8 point penalty for ball tampering.
At the end of the season, this caused Surrey to be relegated to the second division,
as after the deduction they finished one point behind Middlesex, who remained in the
first division.In 2007, Glamorgan were deducted 8 points for an unprepared wicket at Swansea.
Also, in 2011, Warwickshire, Hampshire and Kent were all deducted 8 points for
poor pitches at Edgbaston, the Rose Bowl and Canterbury respectively.)
Points system in South Africa domestic championship

innings match will be played but no bonus points will be scored. The
side winning on the one innings to score 6 points
