Bhanuka Rajapakse scored 31 from 9 balls!!! Lucky that Mavi got him. Otherwise, we would have seen a huge storm tonight LOL. I would have been ruined as I have placed bets as well for KKR.

They might probably underperform in this match since they aren't the most consistent team out there. Also, they need better bowlers in my opinion.

I agree. They need a few more bowlers to have a great season. Their bowling isn’t good enough to have the title.

I'm loving the Sri Lankan's contribution in this edition. Last guy i remember is Malinga but now at least 3 guys Rajapakse-Hasaranga-Chameera making fair amount of noise in Indian circuit.

My money was on Punjab due to gut feeling despite knowing that dew is playing big part in second inning and now looking at the scorecard it does looks like that Punjab's fans lost the bet and points too.

Punjab up against Kolkata. I bet on Kolkata this time around since they won their first match comfortably and took the second match down to the wire. On the other hand, Punjab played really well in their first game against RCB.

Chennai have got a good batting line-up in this match. Other than Gaikwad who lost his wicket on runout have scored runs building up the score reach 210 runs. The bowling isn't good as expected and the bowling order too is really worse. 19th over to Shivam Dubey isn't a needed one.

On the other hand, Lucknow seems to be performing well even though they lost against Gujarat. However, I hate their uniform which is my least favorite among all IPL uniforms so far.

Lucknow is playing good. While watching the match my girl too said about the dress colour which isn't looking good. Maybe soon we can expect a change as more people seems to be feeling the same.

So I think we don't need the rule mentioned in the main thread and we could follow the tie breaker policy of Superbru.
I am not sure if this was already discussed in the thread, as I didn't go through it all

It was already discussed long ago and as far as I remember we all agreed to superbru tie breaker policy. If we do not want to use superbru tie break then for two top point earners we can go like,
1st - 50% of prize pool
2nd - 30% of prize pool

We have 80% of prize pool. Now we split it between two.

Obviously the final decision should come from JSRAW.

Umm bhai but we already have this arrangement with superbru tie break. May be i'm missing something?

Lucknow vs Chennai up next. Am expecting Lucknow to win this one since Chennai doesn't seem strong anymore thanks to the captaincy change along with some bad player changes. They desperately need players like Ali in their squad.

On the other hand, Lucknow seems to be performing well even though they lost against Gujarat. However, I hate their uniform which is my least favorite among all IPL uniforms so far.

Lol okay so i guess i'm not the only one who hate their jersey, even logo is third class. Billion dollar team but can't hire creative designer.

I have no love for Lucknow/KL but today CSK playing with only 3 overseas players, so i went with the Lucknow.

Uthappa looking different batter nowadays. Actually so far fair amount of local talent doing decent job.

Let KL to play a test match, Lucknow will win :-D

KL also thinks that SR is overrated in the T-20 lol

Edit

Score is big but dew is there and it's batting paradise so advantage is with Lucknow if batting clicks.

My first bet of this season is on KL's team Grin

Even Dube ji scored runs so i'm optimistic tonight. Grin

Edit

Hooda gone so no hope Undecided

Lucknow need miracle...

Edit

Haha holy fuck!!

Lewis was excellent but damn this kid Badoni is amazing, not easy to bat on when you need 40 off 16 balls.

What a match so far!
Such a low scoring match would turn into such a fighting match, who would have thought? KKR is now in short of at least 1 bowler. They are trying with Venkatesh Iyer which seems very risky in this time/situation.
I stopped watching the match and had completed some of my works. But now when I have checked the score, I was really surprised.

These low scoring fixtures are amazing and more fun to watch. After KKR's batting i thought this is going to be dead rubber but it ended up being thriller.

Surprisingly this is the same venue where we saw 400+ Runs (RCB vs PUN).

Venkatesh Iyer seemed risky at death over but he wasn't bowling bad tho, KKR could have get Dinesh Kartik wicket but they missed out very simple run out chance.

Edit
Talking about this

Congratulations RapTar,
you are pro,,

You are from India, right? can't get pass you anymore, I'm jealous, man. Tongue

yes, balling line of Knight Riders are very strong that's why RCB could not get such an advantage by batting. Enjoyed a very high voltage game.

by the way, I am very skeptical about tomorrow's LSG vs CSK match, a very unpredictable one.

Thank you. There are 3 more users with 7 points. I'm not the only one, mate.
Yeah, I'm from India but some says I'm not LOL. That’s something else.
I thought KKR will make it finally but they were lacking of a bowler at the end. Russel was having a poor bowling yesterday & they didn’t have the 6th bowler come in and have a good spell. In the 2nd last over, Harshal Patel hit 2 four. That was the turning for RCB.
I guess CSK will win at the end. But, I may pick LSG as well depending on the toss.

If more than 1 person sharing a same position with exact numbers, which is highly unlikely due to superbru system (Win, margin, TDM) so they should share the prize money which is allotted to that particular position. It's seems fair practice in regard to other winners also but please let me know what you guys think?

I don't think it's fair. Let's take the current scenario as an example.

As per my proposal only 4 of them should be declared winners. Timon takes 50%. Royse, kpk & Sword splits the remaining 50% ie.16.67%.
But what you say is that there are 6 winners, Timon takes 50%. Royse, kpk & sword take 10% each for coming 2nd. Raptar & Teo also take 10% for coming 3rd. If anyone of the 3 (Royse,kpk,sword) somehow moved to 3rd spot and push those at the 3rd spot to fourth. Then he would get 20% for 3rd position and the other 2 get 15% each sharing the 30% for the 2nd position. Do they seem fair to you?

In this example raptor and teosanru standing at 5th position, not 3rd (If superbru ranking not counting them as 3rd then who are we to make any decisions on their ranking?) so in this scenario this seems okay "Royse, kpk & Sword splits the remaining 50% ie.16.67%."

Having said that overall i would say that this sample size is too small imo and on micro level TDM seals the final deal, which is missing atm. I know it's just an example but still..

We're talking about more than 1 participants to get exact WB, MP and TDM after 70+ matches, not saying its not possible but odds are way too low.

It doesn't mean that i don't agree with you. You have a valid point, let's keep this discussing going and let others to jump in. I'm sure we'll reach to consensus soon.

I saw some new unknown names in Superbru, so decided to check the main thread to know who they are and this caught my eye.

Quote

Distribution of the prize
Top 3 wins
1st - 50% of prize pool
2nd - 30% of prize pool
3rd - 20% of prize pool

More than one winner in the same category share the prize equally.

I think this rule is not needed and it's contradictory IMO.

Why contradictory? Let's say if 2 of them take 1st position, as per this rule both share the 50% prize ie. 25% each which is less than the 2nd positions prize.
Instead, it should have been like 2 person share 50%+30% ie. 40% for both and the 3rd person takes 20%. If it's 3 or more took the 1st place, then the entire prize pool is split among them. Or if 2 of then take the second spot, they both get 25% each.

Why not needed? Because, Superbru itself offers a tie breaker policy.

Quote

Tie breaking
In the event of points ties on a leaderboard, position is allocated on the basis of higher WP total, then the higher MP total, then lower TDM. TDM is Total Distance from Margin: the sum of the differences between a player's margin predictions and the actual margins. Example: Where Thrashing = 4, Easy = 3, Comfortable = 2, Narrow = 1: if you picked Easy (3) and the result was Narrow (1), your TDM for that match would be 3 - 1 = 2. Lower is better.

For final tally we actually follow superbru tie breaker rules, If my memory serves me well then i guess we faced this situation at least 1 time, where 2 participants had same points, not sure if it was for 1st or other positions.

My understanding of this rule is that, we've 3 dedicated % of pool amount for 3 different positions (1st,2nd,3rd) similar to lotto prize/winners.

If more than 1 person sharing a same position with exact numbers, which is highly unlikely due to superbru system (Win, margin, TDM) so they should share the prize money which is allotted to that particular position. It's seems fair practice in regard to other winners also but please let me know what you guys think?

RR are off to a flying start. Their team is the best team among all in my opinion and I would be stunned if they don't make it to the playoffs. They have great batsmen, all-rounders and bowlers currently.

On the other hand, SRH keep performing like crap as usual. I have no idea why they decided to retain below average players like Sharma, Samad etc(References probably).

Coming to the match between RCB and KKR, I bet on RCB who disappointed me in their first match, but I feel that they will make a strong comeback in this one even though KKR looks strong too.

I did not understand how Williamson was out?
Keeper bumped it on his hand, ball bumped on the ground before the 1st sleep was able to hold the ball.

The decision came from the third umpire.

Yeah, it looked dodgy from front on camera angle and was not clear if it was out. There was definitely bump but slip fielder's fingers also looked underneath the ball. Umpire could have check with side camera too but surprisingly he was in rush and didn't even bother to look from different angle.

I also didn't see on field umpire giving soft single before referring to the third umpire.

PS: I think BCCI should keep an close eye on Rahul the captain (no issue with his batting) and Pandya the Allrounder performance.

KL Rahul sucks as a captain which he has proven again and again though he is an amazing batsman. Personally, I would choose Shreyas Iyer as the future captain of India across all or some of the formats since I like his leadership skills.

BCCI genuinely think that he can lead the national team in a long run, similarly fair amount of share holders in IPL thinks the same that's why he was offered shit load amount of money from the Lucknow. So may be there is some leader quality in him which we as fan can't see. From fan's perspective he comes off as dull leader and has no idea whatsoever how to handle pressure or in most case how to rotate bowlers or make clear strategy. Let's see..

This thread was self mode at start but i think i mismanaged a bit (or may be i missed it) when i edited the OP so please feel free to "report to moderator" if you see any posts other than participants.
