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

[Professor]

Pooran and Krunal in this game.

Is there any restriction on the travelling reserves? I saw NZ only named one (Sears) and I think SA had two, but four?

I haven't read anything , teams can make changes up to May 25.

I wonder if they then all have the same number of reserves to name , does seem odd though

Cricinfo are saying that Arshin Kulkarni has been given a cap too - if you've still got him as a donut, you may want to reconsider!

Cricbuzz suggests he’s playing too

 

[Herbie66]

57 from Rahul takes me to 7/812.

Reading that Mayank might have re-injured himself

 

[Herbie66]

Some clarity on Buttler & Salt would be nice for DGR 13.

RAJ actually play KKR in Round 14 (May 19) , doubt they are both playing that game.

I traded Curran out and haven't any interest in the other England players.

CricInfo reporting that they are expecting the players to return to the UK on the weekend of May 18-19.

Butler's wife Louise is due to give birth in June

 

[Herbie66]

See how close it is

no Fraser-Berserk , no Smudge

Expected Australian T20 World Cup squad
David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (capt), Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Ashton Agar, Matthew Wade, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis

They have actually named 16 when it is only 15

EDIT : Wade named twice

Now confirmed

David , Head , Warner
Green , Marsh (C) , Maxwell , Stoinis
Inglis , Wade
Agar , Zampa
Cummins , Ellis , Hazlewood , Starc

Green over Fraser-McGurk , Smith , M Short most likely.

Will they play 2 Quicks + Agar & Zampa though or just use Maxwell as the second spinner , Head (David) to offer optional spin overs.

Green or Stoinis or the second keeper or Agar (if they play 3 Quicks) as the 11th player

Green has played 8 T20I (opened in 7) last played November 2022.

It’s like I am getting to enjoy a weekend. No players last night and nothing I can do due to my team being all locked in for tonight.

 

[tso]

Punjab Kings have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Herbie66]

Deshpande and Pathirana out for CSK

 

[mike89]

Pathirana and Deshpande out!

Shardul Thakur and Richard Gleeson to replace them.

 

[tso]

Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran(c), Rilee Rossouw, Shashank Singh, Jitesh Sharma(w), Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Daryl Mitchell, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w), Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Richard Gleeson, Mustafizur Rahman

[tso]

Down to 3 with Pathirana out

 

[Miller is a Steele]

6/739 or 7/811
Salt 129, Axar 80, Narine 60, Pant 37, JFM 24, Stubbs 4, maybe Shreyas’ 72.

Salt a great trade in and fielding Axar over Russell was a success. Taking the lowest out of Shreyas and Pooran.

8/753
Pooran 14 and Pathirana out.

Disappointing to cop that 14. Once Mumbai were 4/27 I was hoping he could manage a 0 but wasn’t to be. Pathirana out stings but most are in the same boat. Good to see Chennai batting first.

 

[mike89]

Thank goodness, Rahane starting to look a bit like himself again!

 

[Professor]

Fell asleep, looks like the fantasy gods are showing pity towards me, Dube out for a duck, Jadeja out cheaply, Mitchell only 1, Patherana and Deshpande out. I only have 2 CSK in Gaikwad and Chaher, so hoping for a miracle with the ball after only 10 points in the 1st game.

lol and as I wrote that Chahar off injured after 2 balls. Goodnight. 🙄

At least you have Gaikwad, and made him C!

 

[Professor]

At least you have Gaikwad, and made him C!

Yep, stroke of luck there, 746 all out. Also had bad luck as others did with fielding Russell, Pooran, Head, Sharma, Krunal off my bench for 1.

Brutal

975 (Gaikwad) - very average performance from CSK overnight so it looks like there are two big difference makers: whether you captained Gaikwad or whether you picked up Mitchell!

Doesn’t look like it was a good night going at 23.8 PSI last night. Really, it was only my captain selection that held me back for the round in the end. Happy with team setup so no time to dwell.
