Editor's Pick (ODI): England - Australia

By
Five ODI series lined up for the two biggies this month. The first one took place on the 14th. England
came out on top winning by 5 wickets. A high scoring match, the Aussies hit a massive 304 runs in
50 overs. England hit the target with an over and a delivery to spare. It was a mind blowing performance, simply put. Jason Roy, the man of the match, broke a few records on the way. -
Highest individual score by an Eng batsman
Highest individual score at the MCG
Highest individual score by a visiting batsman in a run chase in Australia
Highest individual score in a run chase against Australia


This is England’s highest successful run-chase in Australia. No better way to start a five match ODI
series, is there?


This was the playing squad for the first OD


Austraia :Aaron Finch, David Warner, Tim Paine (wk), Steven Smith (c), Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc,
Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye Bench:Cameron White,
Josh Hazlewood, Jhye Richardson
England :Liam Plunkett, Eoin Morgan (c), Adil Rashid, Jos Buttler (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy,
Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Mark Wood
Bench:David Willey, Sam Billings, Jake Ball, Tom Curran
This match takes place at The Gabba, Brisbane. With a highest score of 324 and a highest successful
chase of 309 (both by Australia), they will look forward to turning the tables. Aaron Finch will want to
make his century count this time.
The winners of the first ODI had Aaron Finch, Jason Roy and Liam Plunket right on top of their list.
Pat Cummins followed right behind. Though Jason Roy walked away with all the glory, Aaron Finch
topped our Fantasy Points score with a massive 165. Naming them captain and vice captain
respectively is the icing on your Fantasy Cricket Cake. I had named Aaron Finch as my VC and I did
really well indeed.


My lineup
Wicket-Keeper
Tim Paine
Jos Buttler
Bowlers
Pat Cummins
Liam Plunkett
Mitchell Starc
Batsmen
Jason Roy
Joe Root
Aaron Finch
David Warner
Marcus Stoinis
Mitchell Marsh

I have joined not just the paid pool, but the free pool as well. Go on, try both.


What do you think?

TNPL - A Brief Rundown

By
Based on the stupendously successful Indian Premier League is the Tamil Nadu Premier League. This Indian T20 cricket league has been established by the Tamil Nadu State Cricket Association to bring out more and more Natarajans and Washingtons who otherwise do not get a chance to showcase their skill and talent in the world of Cricket.

There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL.

Editor’s Pick(PKL)

By
Four more days of Kabaddi, a teeny break and the next round commences on October 23rd. The super playoffs. All this hard work only for that. A look at the point table will give you an idea about who COULD go to the next level. Course anything could happen in the last minute. Anyone could topple. You remember the havoc Bangladesh created during the Champions Trophy. They threw out the big guns. I mean, they probably stopped West Indies from qualifying too, come to think of it. Back to Kabaddi. Zone A is still topped by Gujarat followed by Haryana and Pune. The other three teams - Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi. Zone B, Bengal take the lead followed by Patna and UP. Today’s match-UP meets Bengaluru. UP is third and are doing very good for themselves. Bengaluru, fifth on the table, don’t really look like they have a chance. Only thing they do want to do now is walk out with a smile saying yes, we tried. UP Yoddha - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas) Defenders – Jeeva Kumar, Ha

From all of us Fans to Players & Officials: Please don't treat us with kid gloves

By Anonymous
As any fan will tell you, we not just love, but understand the sport and our teams like no one else. And that’s also why they keep bankrolling the big fat salaries of the players, the profits of the clubs and the boondoggle of officials. The recently concluded test match raised, in my mind, three instances where the thought process seems to be – it is OK for us to handle it, but it is too hot for fans . Common, now, please don’t treat us with kid gloves. One: The first one, inevitably, is about the DRS and taking the dugouts inputs in it. The rules are clear – the decision to ask for a decision review stays with the players on the field. Within a few seconds of the umpires’ decision, the batting team can dispute an out decision or the bowling team can dispute a not-out decision, without consulting with anyone outside the playing field. The controversy of Smith’s ‘brain-fade’ and Kohli’s allegations have played out ad nauseam on TV and cyberspace, so I will spare you that
