karteekmvs Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 :hatsoff: Well done Tapioca It was there I guess for a few seconds. And now the lead is 150+. This is incredible. I think it is time you do some real-time gambling or betting. Smart picks backed by performance by players.I wonder how many bad games you had. Maybe two or three?
Shane Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Post the increment of the Sub Penalty, the mantra i guess is the same, "If you dont buy the ticket, you ain't winning the Lottery"
Rajan Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 i subbed all 8 players for the last 2 matches. i lost 300 points and gained 60+ points. most of the crowd around 17-23 ,moved up while i moved down to 22! only consolation is the almost 2 million i won from Rajiv in KKR DD bet! Long live Rajiv and his bets!
suraj Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Post the increment of the Sub Penalty' date=' the mantra i guess is the same, "If you dont buy the ticket, you ain't winning the Lottery"[/quote'] but there is defnitely going to be more movement now
Tapioca Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 At the start of the match : Shane - Tapi - Dinakkar - Karteek : 6247 - 6119 - 6084 - 5925 Shane & I have identical teams - Rohit, Gilchrist, Gibbs, Smith; SRT, Jaya, Bravo, Malinga. Gibbs has already flopped Karteek - Gibbs, Gilch, RP, Smith; Jaya, SRT, Malinga, Bravo. RP for Sharma is the only change here Dinakkar has chosen to pick only five players. It will be interesting to see how this gamble goes : Rohit, Gil, Smith; Malinga, Jaya
suraj Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I substituted RS for Dwayne Smith 24 secs before the start of the match :wall: FML
Tapioca Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I substituted RS for Dwayne Smith 24 secs before the start of the match :wall: FML Please tell us each day before you pick the team. It will help us to take precautionary measures. :cantstop:
suraj Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Please tell us each day before you pick the team. It will help us to take precautionary measures. :cantstop: Will do- I plan to pick all Paki players in WC & make sure they lose:--D
abhinav Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Finally broke in to the top 10 last night, much struggle and I hope I can stay on and move up! On the hind sight, if only I had not started late and missed the first couple of games..
suraj Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Please tell us each day before you pick the team. It will help us to take precautionary measures. :cantstop: TIP Don't pick Kallis or Smith; both will fail RD and Kumble will get the points
suraj Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Aiyyoo this match is painful for my SS team; No Jadeja,no A. singh, no Ojha in my team. Useless Smith, Boucher. De Merwe are in my team :((:(( On a high note good to see some Indian lads showing promise- maybe I should trust our desis more than these firangis:--D
ViruRulez Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Finally broke in to the top 10 last night, much struggle and I hope I can stay on and move up! On the hind sight, if only I had not started late and missed the first couple of games.. I had also started a bit late but still stuck at 40-50 for the last one week or more :wall: Even in the previous match I had no Ojha, Amit Singh, Jadeja etc. and went for a ride again :wall: And in this match Jacob Oram and Murali Vijay are not playing just to inform
suraj Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 TIP: Dhoni will be a flop show in this match; he wil send Badrinath or Morkel to play ahead of him now that I have picked him in my SS
Rajan Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 In bangalore, i got stuck in rain enroute to my home. platform riding on bike, desperate to reach home, overcoming traffic snarls .............. reached home to find SS getting locked and unable to make subs for kings XI punjab. highly disappointed.dejected.
Rajan Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 hats off to Manoj(admlab). he was in 15 to 20 for quite some time with me. but made sensational selections and broke in to top 8! that is an achievement. only i know what an effort it is!
suraj Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 TIP: Dhoni will be a flop show in this match; he wil send Badrinath or Morkel to play ahead of him now that I have picked him in my SS Well he did send Badri ahead of him:giggle:
suraj Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 For once thos who could not make chnages will benefit as it rains Man i have been thrown out of the competition completely today!!
karteekmvs Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Man i have been thrown out of the competition completely today!! And my dreams of getting to the top would remain dreams. Now, I should be happy if I remain in top 5.
karteekmvs Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I saw someone post a comment in cricinfo that a storm was approaching Centurion, but then weather.com again did the trick to me. The chances of precipitation were 0% and I went ahead with my changes. I thought a lot before making the last 2 substitutions. Oh, well.
