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 - 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.


Heres the reply :

Wkt - 49-1 after 6.4 .. Dravid goes, 10 from 17, RR 1.11

RR 49-1 after 7, RR 1.12

RR 53-1 after 8, RR 1.13 .. They should win, but, price doesnt appeal .. need 87 from 72

RR 62-1 after 9, RR 1.09

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

Wkt - Watson goes !! RR 71-3 after 11.3 .. RR 1.40 .. laid chunks at 1.08, but bought it back 1.09 ..sigh,
but got nice book.

RR 72-3 after 12, RR 1.40 .. tempted to lay RR if anything .. but, flat .. 9 an over wanted.

RR 80-4 after 14, RR 1.67 ..

RR 93-4 after 15, RR 1.42 .. good game ..

RR 106-4 after 16, RR 1.18 .. looks over now ..

Wkt - 116-5, last ball of the over .. Rahane 52 from 47 ..

RR 116-5 after 17, RR 1.19  .. Need 24 from 18

RR 130-5 after 18, RR 1.01 .. Just 10 needed from 12 balls .. flat, havent done much 2nd inngs.

Wkt - 130-6 after 18.2 .. RR 1.07

RR 138-6 after 19, RR 1.01 .. 2 needed to win ..

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 - Lions v Otago Volts

I have a busy Sunday, and wont be able to cover this game in full.

Pre-toss, Otago 1.61, which looks about right, and, as an interest, have had a small bet.

Some drizzle around early, but CMM is 1.16 or so, Yes.

Otago win toss, and decide to field.

Otago 1.56 - Mckenzie not playing for Lions (stomach muscle)

The money still comes for Otago .. 1.50, pre-game .. taking small profit.

Run line for Lions, about 146


Here we go :

Lions 2-0 after 1, Volts 1.48

Lions 6-0 after 2, Volts 1.48

Lions 13-0 after 3, Volts 1.47

Lions 17-0 after 4, Volts 1.44

Champions League T20 - Maroons v Volts

Another qualifying game.

Pre-toss, Maroons were 1.90 favs, but, Volts won the toss, decided to bowl, and Bolts are now fav, at 1.93
Run line, is 154

Maroons batted well, but, their bowling was abysmal .. So, would like to be with the Volts, if the go above evens.

For the time being, I have no position.

Seems the pitch, is much drier, and it's definately a bat first pitch, especially as the Maroons, have spinners, to extract maximum pressure, bowling second.

Prices are a bit all over the place .. Volts still just favs.

Am not so sure now, about, being with the Volts, so, will have a look.

Both captains said they would have batted first .. So, dunno .. Comms were addament, it was a bat first pitch !! Thou, they also said, it's a hard ground to defend .. Make your mind up !!

Anyway, here we go.

Maroons 1-0 after 1, Volts 1.78

Maroons 5-0 after 2, Volts 1.81

Pitch doesn't look so easy, 145-150 may be par

Maroons 9-0 after 3, Volts 1.77 .. No boundaries yet ..

Maroons 14-0 after 4, Volts 1.73

Maroons 17-0 after 5, Volts 1.64 .. Really poor start, by Lankans

Wkt - Jayasuriya 13 from 19

Maroons 25-1 from 6, Volts 1.58

Maroons 31-1 after 7, Volts 1.60 .

Maroons 46-1 after 8, Nathan Mcullum just bowling poorly .. Volts 1.76

Wkt - Sangakkara 13 from 9, Volts 1.64

Maroons 57-2 after 9, Volts 1.66

Mkt looks right, so, no real position yet ..

Maroons 72-2 after 10, Maroons now favs 1.92 .. Drop cath at wicket, might be v costly.

Maroons 82-2 from 11, Volts bowling pies, and fielding shocking. Maroons 1.78 .. Looking like getting 150-160.

Maroons 95-2 from 12 .. Some improvement, from 31-1 after 7, Maroons 1.58 now ..

Wkt - Lokuhettige 15 from 10, Maroons 1.68

Maroons 100-3 after 13, Maroons 1.70

Maroons 107-3 after 14, Maroons 1.69 .. Poor bowling, lucky not to have gone for plenty.

Wkt - Thirimanne 6 from 6, 112-4

Maroons 112-4 after 15, Maroons 1.90 .. They scored 168 yesterday, and it was well short .. They need 56 from 5 .. Volts seem decent price

Maroons 123-4 after 16, Maroons 1.78

Maroons 132-4 after 17, Maroons 1.70 .. Some sloppy fielding, has cost Volts 10-15 runs .. Might be the difference.

Wkt-Tharanga 76 from 56, but, poor ball really .. Lucky - game v even

Wkt-Loukaurachi 0 from 1, Volts 1.74

Wkt-Silva 6 from 6, .. What an over by Butler 3 runs, 3 wkts .. Changed the game

Maroons 135-7 from 18, Volts 1.68

Maroons 146-7 from 19, Volts 1.83

Wkt-Kandamby 146-8, Volts 1.76

Wkt-Kulusekera 154-9, Volts 1.83

Maroons finish on 154-9, Volts 1.81 .. Looks a fair price for Volts.

Have a small position on Volts, at a bad dish average.

Volts 10-0 after 1, Volts 1.63

Volts 16-0 after 2, Volts 1.52

Volts 24-0 after 3, Volts 1.43 .. Which, seems a tad high .. Thou, there seems a determined layer ..

Wkt - determined layer was right, Rutherford 20 from 15

Volts 31-1 after 4, Volts 1.75 .. Gone flat .. Small win ..

Volts 33-1 after 5, even game - if pressed , would back Maroons.

Volts 34-1 after 6, Maroons 1.73 .. Some move .. Mkt knew ..

Volts 41-1 after 7, Maroons 1.76 .. Tricky ..

Stumping review .. Mcullum - Out !

Volts 45-2 after 7.4, Maroons 1.39 ... Mkt v v accurate today.

Volts 46-2 after 8, Maroons 1.35

Volts 50-2 after 9, Maroons 1.29 .. Mkt loves Maroons .. Desperate price

Volts 62-2 after 10, Maroons 1.48 .. More realistic

Volts 82-2 after 11, Volts 1.47 .. Got some nice trades

Volts 89-2 after 12, Volts 1.39

Wkt - Broom, Volts 1.80 for a breath, back to 1.6

Volts 94-3, after 13, Volts 1.57 ...good game, trying to stay out, now

Volts 107-3 after 14, Volts 1.32

Volts 118-3 after 15, Volts need 37 from 30, 1.13

Volts 131-3 after 16, Volts need 24 from 24, 1.01

Great knock from Ten Doeschate

Volts 146-3 after 17, all over ..
