Competitions 2024 IPL RDT Fantasy- RD1: Saturday 23rd March-12:30am AEST

[Connoisseur]

3/226
Played: R Jadeja (VC), R Ravindra and C Green
Yet to play: R Khan (C), P Cummins, A Patel, H Pandya, A Russell, Y Jaiswal, J Bairstow/R Pant, J Bumrah/K Rabada/S Narine.

Green over Maxwell as my Aus all rounder.

Currently no loophole, so will need to decide which keeper to field at WK and who wins out for the fifth bowling spot.

Rabada benched and Pant fielded. No late change from Patel to Marsh.

Marsh quick 20, phew! Last minute decisions like that always scare me.

 

[T43597]

Marsh out! At least he just made the 20

 

[Darkie]

Not a great start for Marsh as C, but importantly he got to 20 at a good strike rate before being dismissed.

 

[Darkie]

Great minds 😂

 

[mike89]

Just looking at Punjab's bowling options - Rabada, Arshdeep, Harshal, Chahar, Harpreet Brar, even Livingstone - there's a very real chance Curran doesn't bowl again, which would make the role an absolute disaster!

 

[Professor]

Livingstone, Dhawan, Marsh and Axar captain. Stuck at a birthday party. 😉
Edit - Harshal on the bowl bench with another nuffie

 

[Darkie]

Sounds like there will be a lot of people hoping to see Rishabh Pant play well.

 

[The Banker]

Pant out

Klaasen activated if the field points are minimal

 

[T43597]

Axar in now. 6+ overs to make some runs

 

[The Banker]

Pant out

Klaasen activated if the field points are minimal

Just on this. There's a 230K WK/BAT from Sunrisers, and while he's not great for the Pant loops at the moment, he may turn out to be at a later stage on the unknown fixtures.

I'm running donut king so he is likely to take the place of a Mumbai donut, to flip him with Klaasen if Pant does something.

Just food for thought if anyone is going the Klaasen route and needs or wants 60K from the Mumbai WK/BAT.

Personally just using Singh Rathore from Royals. Hard to see how he would get a game as there are now three international keepers ahead of him (Buttler, Samson, Jurel) and he is also at the base price.

 

[mike89]

Speaking of keepers, I was not far from taking Jitesh Sharma in place of Bairstow. Couldn't do it with Punjab chasing but he's got a big chunk of fielding points already...

 

[The Banker]

Curran is going to finish with 1 over

 

[mike89]

Curran is going to finish with 1 over

If he's not actually batting top four he's gone.

 

[The Banker]

If he's not actually batting top four he's gone.

Has he ever been a top 4 bat?

 

[mike89]

Has he ever been a top 4 bat?

I think he's batted at 3 for England in a Test, funnily enough - but no, not really!

Just checked, I must have been thinking of one of their many other all rounders at the time. Has batted 4 in a T20I and made 50 off 32, but is typically a finisher. I'm just going off the scorecard on the coverage which has him at 3 right now.

Was a legit question haha, know it sounded like a pi$$ take

 

[mike89]

Top score this innings for Delhi goes to a man who wasn't even part of the game two overs ago. Seems about right.

 

[mike89]

Marsh bowling - might've got a bit lucky with the impact player here, as normally they would have brought in a bowler!
