Is superbru pool broken? Anyone facing that or I'm the only one? When I tried to check out the leaderboard, it redirects me into a wrong link.

Superbru has a lot of bugs lately. I too have faced issues as yours yesterday night. Today morning when I checked, everyone was sporting a cap and a spoon.

Considering that I got a spoon in Round 1, I'm happy with the current leaderboard of Round 2

Anyway, KKR vs RR tonight. According to the performance, RR is favorite and should win the match. But I may pick KKR today, whom will you?

I probably wont disclose it here because Vishnu is fixing matches against my picks

I picked Sunrisers Hyderabad for today's match simply because they added Williamson and if they strengthen their middle order they can win matches if the ground is big.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is lacking of batting line up, they don't have much good batsman like previous. But this year, it seems their batting line up is more bad. Warner and Bairstaw has not still given their best. They performed poorly while they are the best in the team.
I thought Williamson to be flopped as well but he played nicely yesterday. I barely see him to play such faster. And the guy Samad seems to be good, I don't know how well he played before.

In any format, individual performance will be noticed only if the team wins. That's why there is so much discussion regarding Rahul Tewatia, while Ishan Kishan's performance received far less attention. In a way, it is justified as well. If a player is not capable of guiding his team to victory, what is the point in achieving personal milestones such as a fifty or a hundred?

Ishan Kishan played an incredible innings, if not for his innings we would not see a super over and the only blunder MI did was that they should have sent Ishan Kishan for the super over rather sending others because he was hitting the ball really well and he lost the wicket because the bat rotated in his hand while playing the shot because of the sweat.

The innings Rahul Tewatia played was special, everyone was cursing him when he was wasting the balls and the twitter feed was filled with people calling him names and cursing him to get out rather than wasting balls and when he started hitting and take the team close to the total everyone started to praise him.

I don't the link is broken or anything. As Indymoney mentioned, servers take time to load the leaderboards sometimes due to which you won't be able to access them. Superbru needs to improve in this aspect.

Finally, SRH got their win. Even with scoring such a low total, they managed to win the match with their bowling performance. Well, SRH needs some game changing batsman to score faster as they were lack of such one tonight.

I don't they will be able to find any extra game changing batsmen, but the plus point here is that their top bowlers were back in form which is great news for SRH.

Two consecutive losses for me. Hopefully now no one would accuse me of fixing matches. Grin

That's what fixers do Man. Grin

Once they are on the Radar of some authority they begin to lose a couple of matches to ensure that they are no more targetted. Once the attention from them is over they begin their activities again. Grin

Today the SRH bowlers performed well. Rashid Khan was outstanding, but he got enough support from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Thangarasu Natarajan. Even Abhishek Sharma did a decent job. The only weak point was Khaleel Ahmed, who leaked plenty of runs. The young DC batting lineup once again got decent start, but the batsmen failed to convert these starts to good scores.

I loved the yorkers at the death. SRH was officially the first team who have bowled so much yorkers in their death overs. Even Bumrah couldn't bowl these many yorkers yesterday. This sort of performance was expected from Bhuvaneshwar but yorkers from Natarajan were really a surprise and indeed proved to be pretty good for SRH. If there is any chance of SRH going ahead in this tournament that would be solely due to the likes of their bowlers. They don't have those power hitters who could fetch extra runs in their death overs. Now you just need to wait for the match in which Warner and Williamson get their forms back and then SRH would be back on track.

SRH had a slow start although it was predicted to be helpful for batsman. Bairstaw could have gone for bigger. Despite losing a few wickets, SRH couldn't have achieved a good total on the board. However, it doesn't seems DC is having good either. 2 wickets gone for 48. Picked SRH to have comfortable win but it seems it will be a narrow one for them.

Yeah true. Ishan Kishan match was a superb one, if he could ended well, he could achieve both and the chase would be remarkable for both him personally and for MI. Individual performance has no much appreciation unless team can't get the win. Sakib Al Hasan could be the Player of the Tournament if Bangladesh could at least reach Semi Final, but Williamson with less performance won the Player of the tournament prize.

In the end, it all depends on whether the team gets two points for the win or not. Ishan Kishan played an exceptional innings. I would even say that with this single innings, he would have definitely caught attention of the Indian selectors. All I am saying is that after putting so much effort, he could have just scored another boundary and took his team to victory. When he got out, 5 runs was needed from 2 balls. One good shot would have given 2 points to his team.

Feeling sad for Ishan he worked hard and batted so well to reach those superb innings and, in the end, just felt short of his century in this IPL. It really would have been so good if he could have reached century and probably this would have helped them to win the match as well. But in the end, it was RCB's day to win it and they did well in the end

I actually disagree with you a bit in case of Ishan Kishan, reason is he came at number 4 which is sort of a middle order spot. But Technically due to openers getting out early he came too early in the match. Every batsmen has a role to play. Like you can't expect from an opener to stay until the end of match and take the team to win. Expecting this from 5-6th batsmen do makes sense. Rahul Tewatia is applauded more because of two reasons. One was that initially he was struggling a lot and recovered after that and secondly he was a mere experiment done by Smith. Ishan gave his full try. Achieving personal milestones is something different it's unfortunately something that Dhoni was doing in their second match against RR he came into that aggressive mode after the team had already lost.

That actually is pretty much the bitter truth. This was the reason why Sachin was criticised by a few people who thought he scored runs in a losing Match even though no one could justify this by facts and figures. Truth on the contrary was that it was merely the fact that Sachin could score good even in difficult conditions that made him look the sole performer in team while the team had lost.

Agreed! making runs is one thing, finishing game is another. So far majority of young players failed in this department except Gill, Samson, Tewatia.

- Keeping Umesh and Siraj out of the team-

Haha the members of Dinda club are increasing each day. LoL. I think atleast for UAE we need to change the membership criteria of Dinda Club because even Bumrah went for 42 runs today. Siraj was actually a bowler from whom there were a lot of expectations but I think t20 cricket has made him look like a pretty bad bowler. He has good seam position and line length but no special deliveries in the armory which are required in t20 cricket if you have to bowl at death. He hasn't got a good captain who has used him effectively. Talking about Umesh Yadav. Lol he is sort of a permanent member of Dinda Club.

Not very big fan of Siraj, the way i look at he's kinda lucky for some reasons Virat like him and that's why he even pops in national team here n there. I like Umesh in the Test but man he really suck in t-20 haha

Otherwise, Mumbai would win, I would lose point, Vishnu would be standing at 11 points with being topper as always Cheesy

Kidding, it was really sad to see uim getting out at 99. He had nothing to do but looking for big shots at that moment.
Whom are you picking tonights? SRH vs DC. I'm confused more after watching the dramatic matches within last few days.

Am not sure. Favorites keep losing constantly which is why SRH could probably win this one out of the blue though most people could side with DC.

I will probably side with SRH because of the unpredictability factor though DC is stronger in both the batting and bowling departments. If SRH loses this one, they will stay at the bottom of the table with 0 points from 3 matches.

SRH do have some really good batsmen, but they are very weak as far as bowling is concerned (especially pace bowling). Apart from Rashid Khan, they don't have any world class bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is well past his prime, while Sandeep Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed are not well known for their wicket taking skills. The Delhi bowling looks much better, for comparison.

One amazing match followed by an equally amazing one today. I felt so sad seeing Kishan get out like that. Rahul Tewatia was almost overshadowed by Kishan's monumental effort today.

The super over was even more tragic. Bumrah has been out of form for sometime now which is why I felt he was the wrong choice. RCB lucked out.

One of the best parts of the recent matches is the excellent commentary. Felt great to see the commentators losing their minds over these insane chases.

I am not able to check any thing related to IPL for last few days but today check all score cards look like most of matches are going very interesting few already gone in super over good hopefully in next few days I will able to have talk about this here on this thread congrats to vishnu for winning first round and good luck to all for next round matches.
