Champions League T20 - Brisbane Heat v Chennai Super Kings

Chennai, v short, at 1.28, and market love, is likely to be in place, for a long way.

Chennai, the 'Dream Team', with Dhoni, Bravo, Hussey etc .. Heat, have more 'Team players' but no superstars.

Am sure, Chennai will be under the true odds, but, hard to believe, they wont win ..

Will be looking to pick up prices, above 1.4 or so .. on trouble ..

CSK win the toss, and decide to field .. still 1.29 or so

Run line for Heat, 146


Here we go :

Wkt - 5-1 after 0,5   CSK 1.28 from 1.44

Heat 5-1 after 1, CSK 1.28

Heat 12-1 after 2, CSK 1.34

Heat 21-1 after 3, CSK 1.36

Market not totally convinced by CSK, but, wont let it out of its grip either .. well poised ..

Wkt - 29-2 after 3.4, CSK 1.29 from 1.43 .. .. am with CSK ..

Heat 33-2 after 4, CSK 1.30

Heat 46-2 after 5, CSK 1.40 .. Heat throwing bat at everything, cos they know 150+ needed ..

Dont mind, but, u would expect regular wkts.

Heat 54-2 after 6, CSK 1.43 ..

Wkt - 54-3 after 6.1 .. CSK 1.31

Wkt - 55-4 aftere 6.5 .. CSK 1.18 ..

Heat 55-4 after 7, CSK 1.17

Gonna green out, and watch rugger ..

Heat 56-4 after 8, CSK 1.15


Heat finish on 137-6, which was a lot more, than looked likely, when they were 87-6 after 17.

Still, CSK should win .. 1.10

Champions League T20 - Brisbane Heat v Titans - Mohali

After yesterdays, double wash-out, we should get some cricket today.

The game may be shortened a little, as there is drizzle about, but, not like the deluge of yesterday.

Pre-toss, Titans are 1.69 or so, which, is a tad short to me.

Drizzle continues, but, play scheduled for toss, in 15 mins, play to start, 15 mins later.

Heat win the toss, and price moves from 2.54, to 2.24  ..

Locked in some profits, having laid Titans pre-toss ..

Roach missing for Heat ..

Titans run line about 155 .. with rain, maybe a factor

Here we go ;

Heat win the toss, and shorten from 1.93, to 1.67.

Amazing how much teams move early .. I think it's a bit too much, and have a small position with TT.
Run spread is a low, 137

TT 10-0 after 1 over, and Brisbane 1.74

Not much of a move, some small swing, but, have laid Brisbane more.
