My daughter just asked why they had white dancers if it's in India.......I presume they use the 4 overseas rule in that too.

Whatever it takes!!!
That Arshad pick really costing GT today IMO. Dropped Arya who then made 40 odd after that.. gave away runs in his only over. If they had Washy for him, I get the feeling GT may well have won today.
Not convinced with Rutherford over Philipps. Maybe they can get both to play and not play Buttler and play an Indian keeper in there somewhere. Expected more or at least faster scoring from Buttler in such a chase.

Siraj was absolutely trash in last over . I would say if he had a decent last over GT win this .

Rutherford shouldn’t be the impact player. He should be starting. When this dude gets set, it’s amazing what he can do.

i'm just glad there is 1 place where go-go dancers haven't been cancelled. i suspect they will disappear from the IPL in the near future though

It kind of makes sense. I can't adjust the numbers for conditions, but raw numbers suggest Phillips is way better vs spin in the middle overs and Rutherford is better at hitting pace bowling at the death (Phillips averages 17 @205 SR vs pace since 2023 in the last 4 overs, Rutherford 33 @200). Given the match situation when Rutherford walked in he was probably the right call. Chahal only had 1 left to bowl.Rutherford > Philips?

Arshad has gone for 4 boundaries already in his first over lol.. 21 runs. I am sure its a great pick over Washy.
Seems like they were desperate to have a left armer but then they should have gone after one at the auction.

The Royals are starting to look the weakest team in the comp.
Oh and we just had both 69-2 and 69-3 @ashley bach @SillyCowCorner1

RR, GT, MI, LSG look like teams with some gaping holes and some poor selections.
KKR, DC, CSK - middling teams who could go well on a good day
PBKS, SRH, RCB - strongest looking teams so far

A bit harsh on GT, wasn't much between them and Punjab yesterday and I suspect they'll be one of the better outfits. But RR appear to have major deficiencies in both batting and bowling.

RCB and PBKS being title contenders for a change

RR team is all over the place. They are not making good use of their specialists

And yet this is a very painful chase of a straightforward target. I suspect KKR are not very good either.
