If nothing, I should be topping that table for at least one round if it's arranged in alphabetical order 😆. Doubt anyone would've gone Lynn/Patel, so it's either four or zero for everyone.

Username ka kuch toh fayda hua! 😛

Patel was one match show

Unexpectedly bowled well and hit winning runs😆

No expectation from next match

That's a pretty good set of predictions for someone who said she knew nothing about the game! 😃

You picked Lynn before the toss or after it?

Arre no no.. I know and follow the game ardently but I am bad at predicting😆

Post toss

Wanted to see the playing 11.

I’m surprised that Pant is captain for DC

My bad then- you're already better than 99% of the folks participating! 😊

I saw one of the participants in the game reply to you in the match thread, asking what 3 and 5 stood for in 135/3 and 120/5 😲. Wasn't sure if they were serious or joking 😛

I will call myself Harshal Patel. 😆 Rarely possible flukes. Let's see the other matches.

Even I was shocked but then I recollected the member right in the beginning told me this is the first time she is watching cricket. She is doing this only because of IPL Game here on IF 😲😆

Harshal Patel is a pretty reliable cricketer. Not flashy, but gets the job done, and can definitely hit the odd six if required. I was a bit surprised when Jamieson came ahead of him.

As a batsman kinda reliable but can't trust him as a bowler. He can leak runs when needed the most.

They sent Sundar to open was disastrous, imo.

What were they thinking when they sent him to open 😆

Is it bad that I was waiting for him to get out so that ABD or Maxi comes in to play

They needed an Indian captain. Once Iyer was out, the only options were Rahane (logical choice, but not guaranteed to start) or Shaw (U19 winning captain, but dropped from Indian side) and Dhawan.

Pant a bit of a left-field choice, but has been in good form for India, so they probably thought he'd carry on that momentum.

Btw, one of the reasons DC appointed Iyer as captain originally was because of astrology!

Really? Astrology? I thought they use that just for the logos and stuff. But, decent choice. Team fared well under him too. But not expecting much out of DC this year for some reasons post Iyer opting out unfortunately.
