Analysis of Fan Decisions : Playcall is a Fantain game where the Fans take decisions like the captain.  The decisions are taken and locked in before the actual decision is taken in the field of play.  We had a great game of Playcall when SunRisers Hyderabad took on Mumbai Indians on Monday.  Here are some great insights based on fan decisions.  Hyderabad lost the match – so let us look at some decisions Shikhar Dhawan took and compare it with fan decisions.

Decision
Captain’s decision
What did the fans decide
Analysis
Team Selection
Unchanged side
·       44% wanted an unchanged side
·       31% wanted Sammy back in the team
Unchanged side was the popular choice.  But playing Sammy was a decision definitely worth considering.
The crucial foreign allrounder slot
Moises Henriques
·       66% wanted Henriques
·       34% wanted Sammy
Henriques was the popular choice here.
Who should bat 1 down
KL Rahul
·       43% wanted Warner at 1-down
·       38% wanted KL Rahul at 1-down
Sending Warner up the order would have been a great choice
5th over of SRH bowling
Irfan Pathan
·       64% wanted either Pathan or Henriques to bowl that over
This over changed momentum for the match.  But an overwhelming majority decided exactly what Shikar decided
Foreign Player popularity

·       Dale Steyn – 63%
·       David Warner – 23%
·       Aaron Finch – 12%
·       Darren Sammy – 2%
Dale Steyn enjoys great popularity with the SRH Fanbase
Opening Pair
Aaron Finch and Shikhar Dhawan
·       Finch & Dhawan – 62%
·       Finch & Warner – 17%
All things considered, Finch and Dhawan seem to be the right opening pair
Turning Point

·       At end of 1st Innings – 83% felt Hyderabad were ahead at that time
·       At end of 5 overs of 2nd Innings – 62% felt Hyderabad were ahead
·       At end of 10 overs of 2nd Innings – 65% felt Mumbai was ahead at this stage
Clearly Hyderabad lost the match in the first 10 overs of their bowling.  Given that Mumbai were 16/1 after 4 overs – overs 5 to 10 were the biggest negatives for Hyderabad.

Editor’s Pick: India - West Indies

By
First Match - Abandoned Second Match - India Beat West Indies by 105 runs. Third Match - India Beat West Indies by 93 runs. Fourth Match - Hmm… I don’t really want to talk about it.
Oh well.. Here goes. It was a rather embarrassing defeat. The series looked very much in the kitty when India had to chase 190 runs. The faithful Indian Fans probably even started celebrating. Even though the first three wickets fell rather early, Rahane stuck in there and hit 60 runs to pave what looked like a really short road to victory. And then came Dhoni.

Singles and doubles. And planned boundaries. By the time he was out, caught behind, the team was fairly stable. Shoaib Malik’s captain knock along with Kieron Pollard finished the match in style.
Earlier in the day, Peshawar Zalmi came in to bat. Apart from Mohammad Hafeez’s 59, with twenty-something runs from Dwayne Smith and Darren Sammy; the rest of the batsmen barely contributed. Like I s…
