Editor’s Pick (KPL): Belagavi Panthers - Bellary Tuskers

By
With a run rate of zero and three points of the board, Bellary Tuskers have one win, one loss and that abandoned match that I am sure they are still upset about. Namma Shivamoggams, the other affected party of the abandoned match, won yesterday and jumped up to the second place. Belagavi Panthers on the other hand are third on the team with two wins.

Today’s match
Bellary Tuskers (From): Rohan Kadam, KB Pawan, Amit Verma(c), Kunal Kapoor, CM Gautam(w), Abhinav Manohar, Devdutt Padikkal, Anil I G, Zahoor Faroqui, Prateek Jain, Bhavesh Gulecha, Dinesh Borwankar, Nishant Shekhawat, Zeeshan Ali Sayeed, Daivik Vishwanath
Belagavi Panthers (From): Stallin Hoover, Sharath BR(w), Shashindra, Manish Pandey, Stuart Binny, Rakshith S, Kishore Kamat, Sreenath Aravind(c), KN Bharath, Darshan Machaiah, Shubang Hegde, Mir Kaunan Abbas, Nitin Bhille, Anand Doddamani, Satish Bharadwaj, Krishnappa Gowtham, Sunil Kumar Jain
When the Tuskers defeated Mysuru Warriors, Abhinav Manohar was the man of the match. He smashed 47 runs in 24 deliveries. CM Gautam hit 45. KB Pawan and Amit Verma also contributed to the runs giving the Tuskers their win. Captain Amit Verma took two wickets along with Zahoor Faroqui.
Belagavi Panthers also defeated Mysuru Warriors. Binny was the man of the match. He contributed both with the bat - 52 runs and with the ball - Two wickets. Hegde and Darshan also did their bit.

My lineup

Batsmen
S Rakshith
Manish Pandey

Sreenath Aravind
All-Rounder

CM Gautam (Muralidharen Gautam)

I had eight points left and happily added Bhavesh Gulecha. I tried. The app told me that only 11 players allowed on the app. To think that I had eight points in salary left after I pick my lineup. How weird is that.

Fan Data Analytics: Key to drive sports company growth

By Anonymous
Over the last several years, the buzz word in business and IT circles has been "big-data" and analytics. Many many articles and write-ups talk about them so I won't go into the details. You could get enough to last a lifetime with just the first few results of a Google search of these terms. But do you really know how it applies, specifically to a sports company? For long, sports franchises have been one of the biggest users of analytics. Before this was a buzz word, coaches and managers have relied up numbers and finding patterns in them to drive on-field performance. Indeed, the major leagues of the world have relied on performance analytics for everything from scouting for talent to calling the action on the field of play. But that never transcended to the off-field, more mundane but equally important task of managing the sports business. As more and more options come up vying for the fan's attention - live events, travel, other sports, TV, the Internet - the

Club Vs Country

By Anonymous
With the IPL safely behind us, let us look at the Club Vs Country debate dispassionately.  We will focus on cricket, but learn generously from sports like football - which have been grappling with this issue for a lot longer.   There are 2 primary questions to answer – 1.  If a player has a conflict between a country game and a club game, what should he/she choose?  2.  If the player has to miss playing in order to rest the body (an increasingly important aspect of modern professional sports), should he/she choose to rest country games or club games?  Alas, it is not a easy choice to make because of a few key reasons – playing for the country is considered patriotic (equating players to soldiers in some instances) thus making players feel like they are traitors if they choose club over country.   On the other hand, players do make more money per game playing for a club – and it is hard to choose country over club and end up the poorer because of the choice.   Le

IPL 2014 - Mumbai Indians team analysis

By Anonymous
The Mumbai Indians have always been the high-flying team of IPL.  They had the big buys in almost every year of IPL and kept a very high profile.  And over the last couple of years, they have started matching their performance with their profile – with wins in IPL 2013 and Champions League in 2011 and 2013.  Let us see how their team looks this year. Rohit Sharma, Mike Hussey, Ambati Rayudu and Apporv Wankhade are the pure play batsmen in the team. Corey Anderson, Keiron Pollard, Shreyas Gopal and Jalaj Saxena are the all rounders. CM Gautam, Ben Dunk, Sushant Marathe and Aditya Tare are the wicket keepers. Lasith Malinga, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood, Marchant de Lange, Krishmar Santokie & Puwan Suyal are the bowlers.  The bowling looks pretty good with Malinga, Zaheer, Bajji and Ojha.   The batting is strong at the top – with Rohit Sharma and Mike Hussey, but looks weak beyond those two.   The power in the team comes from
