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?

Editor's Pick (t20): India - South Africa

By
Whoever said ‘don’t make a habit out of it’ was not referring to winning. I do love writing ‘India won’ blogs and it is a pleasure to make a habit out of it as well. The Indian cricket team is most definitely making sure that the habit sticks. We are more than just on a roll in South Africa. We have found what clicks for us and we are making use of it. The best part is that almost all the players are performing. So we are actually open to experimenting and bringing in fresh faces. This way, not only do all the boys get the taste of playing, team South Africa is unable to get used to any one player long enough to figure out the style and a way to defeat it. Way to go Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli. Talking about team selection. How is your selection going? Are you also listening to our audio podcast and getting that added advantage?
Let's get back to the matches. We lost the test matches. But we have won the ODI series in a landslide way. And are one up in the T20 series. We are repla…

Editor’s Pick(CPL): Trinbago Knight Riders vs Barbados Tridents

By
The previous match, Trinbago Knight Riders vs Guyana Amazon Warriors, saw the Knight Riders win by seven wickets. Played at Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad, Chasing a target of 158, TKR scored 162 in 19 overs. Colin Munro, their highest scorer, hit 70 runs. It was a fairly one-sided match with TKR staying on top for most parts.
The Knight Riders are right on top of the table, with three wins and one loss from four matches played. Their run rate of +1.680 will matter, for sure. DLS has been applied in this tournament and can be applied again. Barbados Tridents come second on the table with two wins from three matches. They earlier beat St Lucas Stars by 21 runs (DLS Method). This will be a close match, considering that both teams are in good form.
Barbados Tridents (From): Dwayne Smith, Kane Williamson, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard(c), Nicholas Pooran(w), Christopher Barnwell, Akeal Hosein, Wayne Parnell, Imran Khan, Ravi Rampaul, Wahab Riaz, Raymon Reifer, Damion Jacobs…

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. The inaugural edition of the TNPL took place in 2016 and received unexpected and unprecedented success and love. There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL.

Venues

Changes
The purpose of every organization is to make it bigger and better. TNPL is no exception. At the inaugural TNPL 2016, there were the traditional two semifinals and one final.
