Champions League T20 - Final - Mumbai Indians v Rajastan Royals

So, the finale or the competition.

Pre-toss, Mumbai 1.73 .. and they drift slightly, after losing the toss (batting), and Mitchell Johnson not playing.

Run-line 159 ..

A fascinating match-up, of fairytale endings, with Tendulkar for Mumbai, Dravid for Rajastan, playing, late in their respective careers.

Mumbai bowling a bit weak, but, lets see what they score :

Here we go :

Mumbai 6-0 after 1 over , Mumbai 1.79

Mumbai 8-0 after 2 overs, Mumbai 1.80

Have small position over 150 runs .. LBW for Sachin turned down ..

Mumbai 17-0 after 3 overs, Mumbai 1.76

Mumbai 27-0 after 4, Mumbai 1.67

Wkt - Sachin goes - 15 from 13 balls, 35-1 after 4.3 .. 1.67

Mumbai 40-1 after 5, Mumbai 1.70

Mumbai 46-1 after 6, Mumbai 1.66

Mumbai 51-1 after 7, Mumbai 1.71

Mumbai 54-1 after 8, Mumbai 1.74

Mumbai 57-1 after 9, Mumbai 1.80

Mumbai 60-1 after 10, Mumbai 1.85

Mumbai 75-1 after 11, Mumbai 1.64

Wkt - Smith 44 from 39, 77-2, Mumbai 1.84

Mumbai 82-2 after 12, Mumbai 1.76

Mumbai 98-2 after 13, Mumbai 1.51 .. looks an imposing score, on the way ..

Wkt - 104-3 after 13.4 .. Mumbai 1.53 Pollard comes in ..

Mumbai 104-3 after 14, Mumbai 1.56


///////////////////////


Sorry, had to go out, and didnt finish this :

Mumbai scored 202, which was a pretty good finish, from 152-1, after 17.1 ..

This was good for my run-lines bet, and it proved a few too many for RR, even thou, at times, RR threatened to get close or even win.

A great finale for Sachin .. and few could say, he doesnt deserve it .. during the tournament, he passed 50,000 runs, in all forms of cricket ..

Champions League T20 - Rajastan Royals v Otago Volts

Inriguing game .. given Royals home record, and the Volts flair for attacking batting.

Pre-toss, RR 1.80 .. they win the toss, and field.

Royals shorten to 1.72 .. Run Line, 158

Think 1.72 is a lay, and have a big position against RR to start.

Market moving back to 1.75/6 ,, and taking a little profit.

1.80 now .. a nice 8 tick move, for a good start.

Ok, here we go :

Otago 9-0 after 1, Otago favs .. yes favs .. 1.93 .. 31 tick profit, booked ..

Otago 10-0 after 2, RR favs, 1.89 .. flat ..

Otago 16-0 after 3, RR 1.92 .. flat ..

Wkt - 16-1 after 3.1 RR 1.71

Wkt - 20-2 .. Mcullum goes, RR 1.49 .. flat

Wkt - 20-3 .. wot an over, Shukla has 3 .. turned game on its head .. 1.32

Otago 20-3 after 4, RR 1.33 .. laying RR small

Wkt - 21-4 .. wow, looks almost game over .. RR 1.19

Otago 22-4 after 5, RR 1.21

Otago 29-4 after 6, RR 1.26

Otago 32-4 after 7, RR 1.23 .. expected runs now 130, still against RR

Otago 40-4 after 8, RR 1.26

Otago 48-4 after 9, RR 1.27

Otago 50-4 after 10, RR 1.26 .. still against RR, (small)

Otago 66-4 after 11, RR 1.38 .. taking profit on 1.31 lay .. flat ..

Otago 74-4 after 12, RR 1.39 .. flat

Wkt - 74-5 after 12.2 RR 1.26

Otago 80-5 after 13, RR 1.28

Wkt - 81-6 after 13.3, RR 1.15

Otago 81-6 after 14, RR 1.13 .. flat

Otago 89-6 after 15, RR 1.15 .. flat

Otago 97-6 after 16, RR 1.19 .. flat, but long on runs over 130

Otago 114-6 after 17, RR 1.30 .. good for the runs ..

Otago 120-6 after 18, RR 1.25 .. flat

Wkt - 120-7 after 18.2, RR 1.21

Otago 126-7 after 19, RR 1.22

Tricky to know if Otago are still trying to win the game, or, get enuf score, so Mumbai have harder task to qualify, if front of them ..

Otago finish on 139-7, RR 1.26

It doesnt look enough, but, we shall see.

Wkt - 67-2, after 9.3 .. RR 1.13

Watson comes in to bat .. if they get him quickly, this might be interesting ..

RR 67-2 after 10, RR 1.13

Otago need to keep the runs down, to keep the game fairly close, even if they lose ..

RR 69-2 after 11, RR 1.17

RR win  .. Otago kept it quite close, and for a while, had a chance to actually win, after a low total.


Won a few quid.

Champions League T20 - Rajastan Royals v Highveld Lions

Lions look a  weaker outfit, without Levi/Morris, and am not a fan.

Rajastan are v hard to beat at home, and worthy favs.

Pre-toss, RR 1.54

Lions win toss and field ..

RR 1.62 - Run line, 172 .. which is pretty high.

No Mckenzie or Tahir.

I really like Rajastan, and will be looking for any excuse to get with them.

Here we go :

RR 7-0 after 1, RR 1.57

RR 11-0 after 2, RR 1.61

RR 21-0 after 3, RR 1.50

RR 69-3 after 10, RR 1.67 .. looks a lay, if anything ..

RR 77-3 after 11, RR 1.62 .. game looks finely poised ..

RR 83-3 after 12, RR 1.60

RR 105-3 after 13, RR 1.28 .. Big over, as Watson takes to Phangiso

wkt - Watson goes - 33 from 24, 110-4 after 13.4 .. RR 1.52

RR 111-4 after 14, RR 1.53

RR 183-5 after 20, RR 1.34 .. Big last over .. surprised RR not shorter.

Got a small book .. will wait to see if Lions collapse, before either taking small green, or big green.

Champions LeagueT20 - Mumbai Indians v Rajastan Royals

First game proper, of the Tournment,

Rain before the start, and a slight delay.

Rajastan win a v good toss, and have shortened from 2.24 to 1.90.

They elected to bowl, on a pitch, which should help seamers.

Wkt - Dravid goes early, 5-1 Rajastan 1.67 ..

Back to my entry price .. Gonna wait a bit ..

Rajastan 6-1 after 2, Rajastan 1.63

Disgraceful LBW not given .. Umpires !!

Johnson bowling great, he's really improved his game.

Rajastan 18-1, after 3, umpire changed the game .. Rajastan 1.47

Rajastan 22-1 after 4, Rajastan 1.50

Rajastan 27-1 after 5, Rajastan 1.52

Rajastan 37-1 after 6, Rajastan 1.38

Rajastan 60-1 after 9, Rajastan 1.18

Rajastan 69-1 after 10, Rajastan 1.14

 

No real pressure being exerted, u would think Rajastan would have to give this away now.

Rajastan 68-1 after 11, Rajastan 1.11

Wkt - 79-2 .. Rajastan 1.16

Rajastan 81-2 after 12, Rajastan 1.18 need 62 from 48

Rajastan 91-2 after 13, Rajastan 1.11

 

Rajastan won easily .. The LBW may have changed the dynamic, but, they won v easy.

Lost £450
