Agree mate, was a complete farce. I'm of the opinion that if it can't be 20 overs then it should just be called off. 10 over and 5 over shootouts are complete lotteries. I remember being at Surrey vs Sussex over here last summer and that was reduced to 5 overs and it was stupid. If you can't get 20 overs a side in then don't play IMO.

You was unlucky mate. No doubt that DL never helped Delhi. It needs it's equation tweaking IMO because twenty20 has changed scoring rates big style. That said, with McGrath's 1st over going for just 3, to concede 94 off 8 overs is bad bowling no matter what the batting is like.

Cheers mate. Bit lucky but I've had enough bad luck in this event so I'll take it. +8.46 for me now. 1 bet tomorrow but I'm getting fed up of typing 1 handed so only a shortish write up.
10pts Kolkata to beat Chennai 11/10 Boylesports
Kolkata were awful last time out but you know they will take wickets and that will always keep them in the game it's then up to the batsmen to win it for them. They've not been playing too well recently but at least here they won't be facing a hugely tough bowling attack. Chennai's strength is their batting but even then it's only Badrinath, Dhoni and Morkel who've contributed. Murali is almost on his own with the ball. There's too much quality in the Kolkata batting lineup for it to keep failing and I expect them to score enough to win here.
Not interested in backing Mumbai at 8/13 because that Deccan batting is going to go mad at some point in this tournament, it's too good not to.
