Holy cow!! Last ball finish always a treat to watch.

This was fine game and almost perfect chase, feed bad for Sanju Samson. He batted so beautifully throughout his inning, although he did got 2 lifeline but still impressive knock. Let's see his consistency now. Don't know if denying single on 5th ball was right call or not? Some would say that Chris Morris could very well hit a boundary and that's true but at that moment Sanju was in good touch and striking the ball cleanly.

Pretty disappointing fielding so far in IPL. Players dropping sitter everywhere.

Damn it.
I was almost sure that Punjab Kings is going to win. I had placed bet on Punjab and picked them here too. Who would have thought RR will chase this ton of runs. But now, it seems easy job. Only 11 runs needed from 3 ball and Sanju Samson is on strike.
Edit- it’s 5 from 2  Undecided

Punjab won. I can't believe that Sanju wasn’t able to do that.

Looks like I'll lose the bet today. I placed the bet for Rajasthan Royals wins today. But I didn't think their bowlers would bowl so badly. Every bowler has given a lot more runs today. RR used 8 bowlers in today's match. I have never seen so many bowlers use in an innings. RR has already lost 2 important wickets.

@Haunebu and JSRAW, my bad and sorry about that. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to the rules. You guys are right.. this time we don't have a lot many participants. Last time, if I remember correctly, we had around two dozen. This time even the defending champion refused to join the pool. Anyway, life goes on. Now we can concentrate on the entire tournament, rather than worrying about our standings for each round.

BTW, looks as if I will get 0 points today. Punjab Kings may make 220-230.

Bhai, i think we can't afford reward for every round this time? We already got small pool lol
Agreed. No individual round awards this time around. Royse clearly stated that there will only be 3 winners overall. The number of participants and rewards are way lower this time around when compared to IPL 2020 pool which makes sense.

Coming to the match, I bet on Punjab and am hoping this will break my losing streak. Rahul and Gayle are destroying RR currently.

Am I leading the pool combine? It’s nice to get 2 points  Grin
I have really been impressed with KKR batting tonight; specially Nitish Rana and Tripathi. Did Rana play any t20 international from team India? I guess no. He is very consistent most times and deserves chance in team India.

Congratulations. You predicted all the three games correctly. I can see that Royse and Teosanru are also having 4 points, but they predicted only two out of the three matches correctly. Maintain the lead for another four matches, and you will be left with the reward for winning the first round!!! BTW, best of luck for today's match. I can see that we have made opposing choices for Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals.

And i have a feeling that this time i'm going to top the list , may be bottom? hehe

Who is that young guy Chetan Sakariya? Never seen him before, he's run-up looks similar to Mitchell Johnson a bit.

Bad start for me(3 losses in a row). Was surprised to see SRH almost win this one. All of their bowlers except for Rashid disappointing me. Bhuvi disappointed me the most.

Rana survived many close calls and produced a match-winning innings along with Tripathi who was on fire. Pandey played well too till the end. I have no idea why SRH decided to bench Williamson.

Kolkata team was able to give a target of 187 runs in 20 overs. Very good enough collection. KKR's two batsmen Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi have batted just awesome. I noticed SRH's bowling. Their two spin bowlers Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan have bowled brilliantly. If Shakib and Harbhajan Singh are able to bowl well for KKR today, the result may be in KKR's favor.

^^ I don't think that they are going to increase the slots to 5 but yeah couple of extra team could do some some tricks. I was checking the roaster and i felt that nowadays its pretty hard to pick your playing XI for every game, majority of franchise got fine bench strength, guess everything would comes down to combinations and pitch.

National Selectors underestimating Nitish Rana in T-20 format for sure.

One of the modern great Kane Williamson will serve drinks tonight for SRH. Couple of season back he was leading them. Guess Warner is bossing the franchise again, in a good way ofc. Would love to see Kane back in the team but for this SRH batting line up need to fail for at-least couple of game, otherwise 4 overseas restriction going to hurt him as Indian batsmen occupying middle order for good and Warner-Bairstow-Rashid are almost irreplaceable, last spot going to overseas all rounder.

----
Hate to see fine batsman sitting at dug out and warming the bench, i hope they add 1-2 teams in the IPL soon.

BCCI needs to increase the number of overseas players from 4 to 5. IPL is more like an international tournament now, and it will be unfair to limit the number of overseas players per team to such a small number. Hopefully that will be done once they increase the total number of teams form 8 to 10 (probably next season?). I guess SRH was in a dilemma. They can't drop Warner and Rashid Khan. And the competition was between Jonny Bairstow, Mohammad Nabi and Kane Williamson. Nabi was selected over Williamson, since he is an allrounder.

CSK was a very good team, but that was a decade back. And the problem for them is that the same players are still representing the franchise even now.
Decade back? I disagree. Last season was their worst one, but 1 single bad match this season doesn't mean they don't stand a chance against other teams. Underestimating them is absolute stupidity since they are the 2nd most successful franchise overall after MI.

I agree. I guess Bairstow's recent form is the reason why they chose to stick with him instead of Williamson. If Bairstow fails to perform, I guess SRH will bring him back in.

The most successful two teams are: CSK and MI. Take this as a hint but it's really hard to tell who will win the trophy.

CSK was a very good team, but that was a decade back. And the problem for them is that the same players are still representing the franchise even now. They seems to have learnt no lessons from their experience during last year's edition, as the team is still full of players who are above 40 years of age. Take out Suresh Raina, Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja, and CSK would be having zero chance of victory against any of the other franchises in the IPL.

And if you're gambling just to recover your loss then i'm sorry to say that you're doing it all wrong. Win-loss is part of the game (most of the time loss). I remember Royse lost big on the last WC when he put his money on Aussie team and i lost big during last IPL (42ish bets out of 60 lol). So i understand that sometime things get out of the hand when you lose big bets or on losing streak but its part of the deal. I would suggest that don't forget the fun part when chasing the winning combination. (I started betting with fiat now, no more btc bets  Grin)
One of them was a stake of over 0.055 BTC which is in today's rate over $3,285 (WTH!!!) :-D

Cricket nobody here but I managed to snag a pretty cool special at 11/1 here. Was a tip from Brett Lee and I just blindly followed - Delhi Capitals to have top batter, Over 29.5 4s and Over 13.5 6s, and DC win. How close was the actual results? All I know is it hit, as it got settled as a win;)

Still looking at outrights here on IPL winner while the comp's still alive -- any tips from anyone?
Arg!!!! Read the rules @buwaytress :-P
Never mind I know you are not those typical sig spammers, but rules are rules. Are you going to join us? :-D

Jokes aside:
Delhi Capitals to have top batter : Shikhar Dhawan scored 85 runs where the top score from CSK was 54. You won it by very wide margin
Over 29.5 4s : 24 fours from DC and 16 fours from SCK means you won this one too by wide margin.
Over 13.5 6s: Six 6s from DC and 10 from CSK meaning again another wide margin for you.
And finally DC to win and of course they won.

You won it pretty easily bud :-D

Congratulations!

In today's match, I bet for Delhi Capital. They have some great batsmen in their squad. Their squad has been formed mainly by focusing on the batting lineup. It will not be too difficult for them to win by batting for 189 runs.
Hope you do not lose your bet today too. DC are balanced team. Chasing 189 will not be easy, but they have the depth.  So, let's stay positive.

Yesterday, I was in a very bad mood, so I did not reply to anyone. Actually, Mumbai had a very good team but my bad Luck.
Feeling very good today, yesterday's loss has been successfully recovered today. Today's field was a batting pitch so we won comfortably with a target of 189 runs. Congratulations to all who picked Delhi today.  Cool
Bhai take a chill pill...

webtricks, teosanru - please post the transaction ID once you make payment for the entry fees.
@Vaskiy, it's a restricted pool buddy. Please read the OP.



I made payment yesterday only here is the tx id: 86f745f506855cbd378860f408f0fe23f09201ac111ee2d1507de4e521544a0d


CSK are at the top right now. I enjoyed the battle between the two English brothers. The younger one totally destroyed the elder one. Imagine the elder one is giving an eye to Sam :-P
I was hoping bit of sledging between them or at least some cold stares but both are nice boys and they were only smiling at each others innocently.

3 left handers did well for CSK (Raina, Curran, Jadeja) now time for Dhawan, Pant, Hetmeyar? My money on the CSK but I'm happy as long as match goes to the last over, doesn't matter who wins.

----------------------
Edit
Nah, just kidding. CSK should win at any cost.  Grin Tongue
The left handers of Delhi Capitals have begun their performance. The power play is getting used well, both Dawan and Prithvi Shah has been maintaining the run rate above 10. More the early score makes helps the middle order have less pressure if there happens unexpected wicket fall. In 5 overs Delhi Capitals have scored 58, and taking wickets is a must for the winning of CSK. If this continues for the next few overs then Delhi Capitals winning gets confirmed.
Dhawan and Shaw are making it look like it's so easy. Ball was swinging so nicely for the Delhi bowlers and even the commentators said that pitch would get better as the game goes on but to our surprise Chennai bowlers are struggling badly. They aren't just able to crack the code of the pitch. To be honest this isn't the Champion CSK now. It's looking pretty much like an average team.
