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

[Professor]

8/463 Kishan
Krunal, Pooran and Ravindra to play. If only I vc'd Head and selected Bumrah and Narine. 🤔

 

[Kennedy]

882 plus Dube. Looks pretty good at the moment, although @Kennedy has basically matched my side yet again and leads me by six!

I wish I was matching and was coming 29th aha
My trades this week were
Jaiswal > Curran
Thakur > K.Yadav
KPandya > Reddy

 

[T43597]

9/666 - Jadeja (c) & Pooran to come

 

[mike89]

LSG bowling first

LSG - Joseph out, Henry in
CSK - Moeen, Chahar in, Mitchell, Thakur out

Also, Kulkarni (LSG donut) has snuck onto their sub bench... Doesn't matter for me this round but will need to get him out before it causes me problems!

Brought in a dud to get Coetzee 97 off the bench

508 with Jadeja (C) tp

 

[Darkie]

Fielding Pooran over Rahul, with Jadeja locked on the bench.

766 on the board.

 

[mike89]

Have been agonising since I saw Moeen slot in ahead of Dube whether the role is a bit too dubious and to go with the defensive option in Jadeja instead.

However, Jadeja actually doesn't look that safe to me. CSK already have four bowlers and can add another one, plus Moeen is a more reliable bowling option than Mitchell was. Hard to know how much he'd bowl at all.

Sticking to the plan, come what may.

 

[mike89]

...So of course Jadeja comes out at 4 and makes 50?? Fine, whatever.

885 (Narine)

 

[Diabolical]

924 Jadeja

Saved in the last game by my C and Rahul, so happy with my score in the end.

I have been overtaken in a public league by a team who scored 1,185 and had 3 on field WKs in Klaasen, Buttler and Rahul. Handy 423 points!

 

[Professor]

581 Kishan 🤔

 

[Miller is a Steele]

8/846
Bumrah 95, Kishan 52, Rohit 51.

Pathirana, Gaikwad and Rahul to come.

1039
Rahul 141, Pathirana 35, Gaikwad 17.

Trade ins Pathirana and Gaikwad were disappointing especially as Jadeja was the alternative. Rahul massive! Nice jump incoming I imagine.

 

[mike89]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think MSD is a genuinely viable option soon... At least for the double. Playing the finisher role to perfection and obviously has his usual share of keeping points...

If we can rotate the bye WKs through our teams during those final DGRs, we don’t need to carry a non playing donut loop.

882 - Jadeja

When do we think it's opening, then?

 

[Darkie]

When do we think it's opening, then?

I was wondering earlier - does it seem to open later on certain days (eg the weekend)?

It would make sense, I would think it would be pretty unusual across all games RDT run for a round to end on a weekend day.

 

[tso]

Tweeted them earlier on. Still not open

 

[tso]

Surely they won't forget
