Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 A good couple of days has put me up to -7.94. I was down below -30 at one point so it could be alot worse. Tomorrow sees another double header with Kochi playing my beloved Kolkata in the first match. I can't deal with Kochi at the moment. I had them to beat Delhi two games ago and they got turned over. They played them again two days later and absolutely battered them. If Kochi turn up then they're a serious problem. However, Kolkata are going for Top 2 and theyre in some serious form. Morgan at the top of the order is a touch and we're finallly seeing end product from Yusuf Pathan. I think there's mileage in getting with them at 8/11 but its a no bet for me; way too many variables. I just hope KKR win comfortably and there's a Gambhir fifty in the process. One for the second game then and I'm almost nervous to say it's my biggest bet of the tournament so far. - 8pts Total Sixes: Under 10.5 @ 5/6 [Paddy Power] I don't quite understand what the guys over at PP were thinking when they set this line for total sixes in a match involving Deccan. Deccan have only hit 11 sixes in their last five matches and four of those eleven came in a mad cameo from Sunny Sohal. They're shit when it comes to DLF's and to be honest, I don't see that changing tomorrow. Their highest score in their last four innings is 149 and they have never won a match when chasing. Their problem is clearly not enough runs from their key batsmen (Dhawan, Sanga, Duminy, White). I'm dumbfounded as to why we haven't seen Michael Lumb yet and I'm still not sure Sanga is the best choice for a Twenty20 captain. I don't think Deccan will contribute to the sixes tally too greatly. The obvious danger here is the might at the top of the order from Delhi. Warner and Sehwag come off and then this all of a sudden becomes a bit peak for me. You look at what bowling they'll be facing though and it makes me feel a little better. Despite Deccan's shortfallings with the bat I think they actually have one of, if not the best bowling attack in the competition. Steyn and Sharma are good front line bowlers and should keep things relatively tight whilst Ojha and Mishra are good, economical, wicket-taking options. Mishra in particular has taken 10 wickets so far this year at 6.64 an over. Not bad numbers at all. If Sehwag goes early then it's looking good. Warner hasn't been in the brightest patch of form recently either so I think getting on unders here at this price is wise. Skybet have Under 9.5 @ 1.72. William Hill have this line set at Under/Over 8.5. How we're getting Under/Over 10.5 at 5/6 I don't know but I'm glad to be on this side of things. A win here will put me on the verge of positive numbers for the tournament. Fingers crossed I make it seven on the spin.

Re: Cricket: West Indies vs Pakistan - Twenty20 International & ODI Series I like where I am in this little series. Ajmal was easily the most economical bowler in the 2nd ODI so I'm +6.00 going into the 5th and final one. The match is meaningless tomorrow and there is more than a 50% of rain so I'm going to leave it and wait for the tests.

Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Two sixes in that match today means a sixth straight winner and +4.15 for the day. Not getting involved in the later game tonight, Pune have a big match in them somewhere and I wouldn't be surprised if they ran Mumbai close. GL Kev :hope
-
Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 KKR won again with ease to ensure the handicap came through. Gambhir added another 35 to his total and there was under 10 sixes which means a respectable +5.52 for the day. Tomorrow's double-header is a potential minefield so not going too crazy. Coral have very generously priced Rajasthan up at 6/4 tomorrow which is definitely value for the Royals but I'll swerve that for now to play on the safe side of caution. One for the early game. - 5pts Total Sixes: Under 10.5 @ 5/6 [Paddy Power] Chennai have played at home four times in IPL4 and there has never been more than 11 sixes in any of those four. The Chidambaram Stadium is not a bad track to bat on by any stretch of the imagination. Infact every time Chennai have played at home, they've won the toss, batted first and never posted a score below 142 (the highest being 183 against RCB towards the beginning of the tournament). For some reason though, it's just not common for maximums. The last match that was played here saw 11 sixes, and that was really only because Sunny Sohal got a few lives and hit 4 whilst Albie Morkel somehow managed to hit 3 of his 6 deliveries faced over the ropes. All the times previous, there have been under 11 (7, 10 and 6). Vijay, Badrinath, Dhoni, Morkel, Watson, Taylor, Menaria will all line up tomorrow and to be honest, all of them can hit. However each team has a respectable bowling attack to limit the DLF's. There won't be many hit off Ashwin, Warne, Bollinger and Trivedi whilst Southee and Tait will also be tough to hit if either are recalled. One would expect Hussey and/or Dravid to do a fair bit of batting tomorrow which should aid this a little bit whilst history tells us Rajasthan are always susceptible to a drastic batting collapse. There has only been Over 10.5 here once in IPL4, don't think there'll be another tomorrow.

Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Two cautious digs for tomorrows match at Hyderabad. - 3pts Kolkata -2.5wickets/10.5 runs (vs. Deccan Chargers) @ 3/4 [sportingbet] I have been impressed with Kolkata so far this IPL. They're sitting comfortably in the Top 4 right now and I personally think they'll be in the top 2 come the end of the group stages. Fortunately for me, Gautam Gambhir has been in great form too and he is leading them brilliantly and is scoring runs freely. Deccan have been all over the place recently. They were cruising to victory against the Super Kings the other day and still managed to lose by 19 runs. They lack some conviction in their play and there have been some questionnable decisions along the way from skipper Sanga. The omission of Dale Steyn in the last match being a prime example. Their last six matches have gone Loss-Win-Loss-Win-Loss-Win and that kind of inconsistency is not going to get you anywhere. Using their last six match formula, one would suggest that they will win tomorrow here but I can't see it. Kolkata have signed Mark Boucher to replace the injured Haddin and that doesn't weaken them one bit. Hyderabad has been a decent pitch so far this tournament. It's seen three scores of 165+ in four games and I think that will play into Kolkata's hands. They have a very strong batting line-up and a good bowling attack to back them up. Iqbal Abdulla has been a revelation for them with Brett Lee and Balaji looking very impressive too. Not to mention the fact that Yusuf Pathan is the 4th highest wicket taker in the tournament so far. In Kallis, Boucher, Gambhir and Tiwary you have three players that are already in excess of 220 runs and they have the talent of Tendo/Morgan/Pathan to follow them. Kolkata to take this one for me. - 4pts Total Sixes: Under 9.5 @ 5/6 [William Hill] As soon as I saw this fixture I immediately thought unders on the sixes. It is risky to take this on as we have people like Pathan and Sohal who COULD go bonkers here but each team has the bowling attacks to limit the number of DLF's. Steyn and Sharma are potent forces up front for Deccan and there won't be that many hit off Lee and Balaji. Deccan's batting has been under-fire recently too. Shikar Dhawan is has played every match so far and has opened the batting in every match so far and he has faced only 130 balls. They lose wickets too frequently and that always slows the sixes down. Kallis, Gambhir, Morgan and co are all stroke players. They'll hit alot more fours than they do sixes so I think that tomorrow will be kept below 10. Cautious with the stakes with the fear of a Pathan going mad but quietly confident.

Re: Spain - La Liga - 30 April - 2 May
Valencia horribly lacklustre tonight. Spoilt a potentially good weekend. -7.2pts, Malaga got the job done but don't get me started on Real. Could be worse but definitely should've been better. Well done to any other winners this weekend.Few standouts this weekend. WIN - 6pts Malaga (vs. Hercules) @ 4/5 (via StanJames) LOSS - 5pts Real Madrid -1.5AH (vs. Real Zaragoza) @ EVS (via Bet365) LOSS - 7pts Valencia 0AH (vs Osasuna) @ 1.85 (via Bet365) -
Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011
Haven't been able to do that in a while. +13.68 for the day after Taylor's vital innings saw the Royals home earlier. Will no doubt be back for tomorrow's double header.WIN - 7pts Rajasthan Royals (vs. Pune Warriors) @ 8/11 [stan James] WIN - 4pts Highest Opening Partenership: Rajasthan Royals @ 10/11 [blueSq] WIN - 6pts Player Performance: Jessie Ryder Under 42 @ 5/6 [bet365] -
Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Kochi threw away another match and gave Boyles more of my money in the process. If Jesse Ryder has a good game tomorrow, then I'm just going to have to have a drive to B&Q, find myself a spade, dig myself a hole and die. See below for an explanation: - 7pts Rajasthan Royals (vs. Pune Warriors) @ 8/11 [stan James] Pune have lost FIVE on the bounce and are bottom of the table half way through the tournament. They're horrible in the field and under Yuvraj Singh, they lack any proper leadership. I can't figure out how they're going to win tomorrow in Jaipur with a beleagured side lacking any confidence or hope of reaching the play-offs against a Rajasthan side who are in a nice spell of form having just come off the back of a convincing win against the mighty Mumbai Indians. The track at Rajasthans home ground has seen some pretty low scores there this term. Mumbai packed with all their might with the bat only mustered 90-odd whilst Kochi only got 109. Pune come here and lets face it the majority of their problems lie with the bat. They're too heavily reliant on a good foundation from Ryder and despite lacking any big names, they have some pretty decent options in their bowling attack to trouble this lot. Royals to heap more misery on the Warriors. - 4pts Highest Opening Partenership: Rajasthan Royals @ 10/11 [blueSq] Barring the last match against Bangalore, the Pune top order have failed miserably. Against Chennai, they were 41/4 off 7 overs. Against the same opponents a mere two days earlier, they were 40/4 after 5 and a half. Five days before that they were 17/4 after 4 overs. That's just not going to win you matches at all. Even last time out, their new opening pairing of Ryder and Paine failed when Paine got out cheaply for 8. They also don't take wickets early that often either. Gayle and Dilshan reached 57 before one of them fell whilst Chennai got to 19 and 64 before they Vijay/Hussey were parted in the two matches previous. Watson and Dravid should provide some form of stable foundation for the Royals to build on early up and I'll play that the Royals cop an early break through against a faltering opening pair at a nice price. - 6pts Player Performance: Jessie Ryder Under 42 @ 5/6 [bet365] Jessie Ryder can bowl but Yuvraj only really turns to him when he needs to fill overs in the middle of the 20. I can't see the big guy getting any wickets tomorrow so that effectively means Ryder getting 42 runs which I don't see him doing. Jaipur has proven to be a batting nightmare so far and the pressure on Ryder at the top of the Pune order is rather big. He is capable of scoring big like his half century in the last match and a 60 earlier on but previous scores of 19, 15, 12, 9 and 31 show he gets in alot and throws his wicket away. Ashok Menaria bowled imperiously in his first ever IPL match last time out and Ryder may look to get after him early just like Sachin did. If that happens, all it needs is a mistimed shot for Ryder to be sitting on the boundary preamturely and that's something he's done a fair bit so far this tournament. Unders for me.

Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Despite me not getting round to posting, I had a decent day today. Trying to get some kind of run together. For the early game tomorrow: - 4pts Kochi Tuskers (vs. Delhi Darevils) @ 5/4 (via Boyles) Two of the worst teams in the competition face-off tomorrow in Delhi and I'm siding with the visitors. These teams have a lot of similarites especially as they both depend pretty heavily on their top orders and have pretty awful bowling attacks. They are both in shocking form too with both sides having lost their last two! I am not a fan of Delhi's seam heavy bowling attack though. Ajit Agarkar leaks runs like a fxcking sieve & the rest comprising of Hopes, Pathan and Yadav just doesn't pack any potency. Barring Morne Morkel, they've been horribly average with the ball and the talent at the top of the Kochi order have the ability to take them apart. I'm not completely writing Delhi off though. Last time I went against them, they hit 231 fxcking runs. I like RP Singh and the fiery Sreeshanth opening up for Kochi though. If they find movement early up, they'll be dangerous. Sehwag and Warner have only fired once this tournament and to be truthfully honest I was very close to having UNDER 34 points for Sehwag at Bet365. I'll leave that one though and play on Kochi doing the business.

Re: Spain - La Liga - 30 April - 2 May Few standouts this weekend. - 6pts Malaga (vs. Hercules) @ 4/5 (via StanJames) I am supremely confident that Malaga will stay up this season and this is a fantastic chance for them to go one step further to La Liga safety. Hercules away record has been widely publicised in the media and on these boards in recent weeks. They've scored 5 goals in their last FIFTEEN away games and three of those came in one match. Yes they are fighting for their survival but I see an even more motivated Malaga side doing them over tomorrow at home. They've been on a bit of a resurgent spell of form in recent weeks with an away win at Santander last week and a convincing 3-0 home win against Mallorca the week before. Hercules are always a bit of an unknown element (especially when I have money on them ffs) but I can't look past Malaga. Baptista is in good scoring form, they're at home and will move up to 39pts with a win. You'd think 40 points would ensure safety. Home win all day for me. - 5pts Real Madrid -1.5AH (vs. Real Zaragoza) @ EVS (via Bet365) Can't for the life of me figure out the price on this one. Real Madrid played in midweek yes we all know that but their midweek side and their weekend side have been very different in recent weeks. I would never have thought that they'd score six past Valencia at the Mestalla after their exploits in the Copa Del Rey last week, but they did. Jose will want to put the result in the week behind them and in front of what will be a pretty big Bernanbeu crowd, I expect normal service to be resumed. Despite Ramos and Pepe being suspended, Kaka, Khedira, Arbeloa, Benzema should all line up and that will be more than enough to take care of a pretty average Zaragoza side. Real have not dropped a single point in the league so far this season when scoring first and Zaragoza have one point from their last five six away games. No bainer this one. - 7pts Valencia 0AH (vs Osasuna) @ 1.85 (via Bet365) Valencia are one of my favourite teams to bet on in the league. You rarely get any funny business from them and they usually get the job done. They know Villareal are going to find it very difficult to get 3rd spot now especially after getting spanked in Portugal yesterday and again they have a good chance to cement that spot. Osasuna find themselves third bottom and have four defeats from their last four games. You have to go back five weeks for their last points and I think a pretty strong Valencia side will be a bit too much for them. I don't think you can read into last weeks result a great deal. Not many teams score three goals at home and still lose by three! Their away record of P16 W10 D2 L4 is good aswell. Can't see Valencia losing so got some draw cover.

Re: Darts: Premier League Week 12
23 maximums tonight so the main bet was secured. Not the greatest night in here but as far as I can remember GH's main bet was a winner. Well played on that one mate and unlucky Kev.LOSS - 4pts Most 180s: Terry Jenkins (vs. Mark Webster) @ EVS (via Coral) LOSS - 4pts Most 180s: Gary Anderson (vs Phil Taylor) @ EVS (via Coral) WIN - 5pts Under 28.5 180s @ 10/11 (via Boyles) -
Re: Darts: Premier League Week 12 Potential minefield this week. But here are my thoughts:
Terry Jenkins vs. Mark Webster
I saw this fixture last week and immediately thought that Jenkins has this in the bag. Infact, I still do and he is nicely priced to do so. Mark Webster is in a horrible run of form and he has not got an ounce of confidence left in his body. It's a shame really because it has got painful to watch in recent weeks. He has only won 6 legs in 5 weeks and to be honest, I don't see him getting anywhere near 8 legs later on tonight. Jenkins has ****** me over so many times in the past though that I can't think about getting on his side. He played supremely well to get the draw against Barney last week and was hitting the 180s for fun as well. You get the impression that if he averages anything near last week then this could be another sorry night for Webby (his fifth on the trot). However, you also get the impression that if Webster is going to return to winning ways against anyone, then Jenkins will be the guy. Jenkins is definitely the favourite here but I hcan't for the life of me summon up the courage to put money on him. One thing that you can expect from the bull is maximums though. If he gets ahead of Webster, he'll start reeling them off and I am confident in the fact that he'll beat Webster in that aspect of the game. He threw 5 against RvB last week and trust me, Webster isn't get anywhere near that. Jenkins Most 180s @ EVS is a certified play for me. _____________
Gary Anderson vs. Phil Taylor
These two have automatically qualified for finals night and realistically aren't really playing for anything. I still don't think Anderson has the game to win 8 legs tonight but having said that, a Gary Anderson with no pressure surrounding him could be a dangerous animal. Phil Taylor has only lost something ridiiculous like 6 matches in his Premier League history. I don't think it will become 7 tonight but I am not going anywhere near his fat ass at 1.44. Anderson misses too many doubles for my liking and that's something that needs to be ON POINT against the Power. We all saw last week against Whitlock, Anderson threw 7 darts of the famous 9-Dart finish and still went on to lose the leg. Taylor just won't allow that shit to go down and even at a juicy price of 4.50, I can't get on the Scotsman. We all know that he is a natural heavy scorer though and he was hitting that red-bit for fun last week. 11 maximums in a Premier League match is just unheard of and I think we'll see some more tonight. Taylor hasn't been hitting them as well as he can in recent times and like above, the EVS on offer for Anderson seems too good to miss. So I'll get on it. _____________
Raymond van Barneveld vs. James Wade
My first impressions were to take James Wade DNB here and at 6/5, it's a tasty proposition. He was aboslutely brilliant last week and would've beaten most guys on the circuit with the darts he was throwing. Barney wasn't as fluid and had a few chances to put away Terry Jenkins in his draw with him. I'd say at this point in time, both are evenly matched and to be honest, another draw here wouldn't surprise me. I think Barney will get to finals day without too many problems and he'll look to wrap it up here but a resurgent Wade could be a tough opponent. It'll take a brave man to call this one so for me, NO BET. _____________
Adrian Lewis vs. Simon Whitlock
Adrian Lewis is blacklisted for me I can't bring myself to bet on him ever. You never know what you'll get from the guy and that just does my head in. You get a similar feeling with The Wizard too. One week, he's destroying Raymond van Barneveld in probably the match of the whole tournament so far and then the next he's performing limply and losing to James Wade. Again, this one is too tough to call for me. Both guys are fighting for finals day places and both can produce stunning darts on one day and shit darts on another. The smart thing to do form a betting perspective is to just stay away and that's exactly what i'mma do. NO BET. My Bets: - 4pts Most 180s: Terry Jenkins (vs. Mark Webster) @ EVS (via Coral) - 4pts Most 180s: Gary Anderson (vs Phil Taylor) @ EVS (via Coral) - 5pts Under 28.5 180s @ 10/11 (via Boyles) Last week was a pretty special night of darts, there was a record amount of 180s and some pretty impressive displays all round from several players. It's weird really because the week before was a horrible. Some very weak darts on show and some terrible performances. With a lot of pressure off most players I don't think that the quality will be AS high as it can be tonight and I think Boyles Total 180s line is a bit high. There'll need to be seven in every match on average tonight and I don't think there'll be THAT many. I guess the danger is that there are alot of potential close matches tonight with a few looking like they'll go the distance which is never good for unders on 180s but even still, it's worth a punt in my eyes. Lower stakes than usual this week but still confident of bringing some cash home. Good luck fellas :hope

Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Two sixes short so the Win-one-Lose-one streak continues. Where has everyone gone too I've been the only one in here for almost a week! Anyway swerving the first game tomorrow and only playing with one in the second, it seems like every match that involves the Chargers, I hit the sixes market in one way shape or form. Tomorrow is no exception. - 4pts Sixes Matchbet: Kochi Tuskers (vs Deccan Chargers) @ 11/10 (General) Deccan have lost their way as the tournament has progressed. They're whole squad has only hit two fifties in six matches and Ishant Sharma and Pragyan Ohja have combined figures of 4-254 in all games. Not good enough. Despite me saying at the start of the tournament that they can hit sixes, they've again tailed off in recent games hitting only seven DLF's in their last three matches. Kochi on the other hand are a different proposition. Barring their last match where Rajasthan just shat all over them, they've hit a minimum of five in every match. Brendon Mccullum missed that match due to injury but I've had a look around and he is set to return tomorrow to open up against the Chargers. The ground at Kochi is a nice one for maximums too, there've been 10 in each of the games there so far and I think Kochi have the beating of the Chargers tomorrow. Mccullum, Parthiv, Jadeja, Hodge and even Mahela can all swing. Murali and co can keep it tight for them too in the bowling department. Kochi for me here.

Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Mumbai won the sixes 5-1 so -17.14. Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Opposing the Daredevils is something I'm not overly comfortable with doing. Leaving the grass on the pitch seemed to play beautifully into Delhi's hands the other day as they produced one of the biggest scores the IPL has ever seen and it enabled them to win their first game at home since 2008. The sheer unpredictability that follows them around is a fxckery that I'm not prepared to take on and despite me thinking that the Challengers might take this one, I just can't put money on it. - 5pts Total Sixes: Over 11.5 @ 5/6 (via WillHill) The pitch here at the Feroz Shah was a beauty to bat on though. Delhi will have no reason to revert back to the old tracks there and will keep the track that saw nearly 450 runs scored there in only 40 overs four days ago. There were TWENTY-THREE SIXES played out between Delhi and Kings that evening and when you think who is coming to town from the visitors today, you can't help but feel that there will be a similar number again this time out. Sehwag, Warner, Finch, Rao, Hopes will come out for the Delhi Darevils. Gayle, Dilhsan, Kohli and AB De Villiers will be on show from the Challengers. Fireworks are expected and I can only see several more sixes. There is obvious danger though. Sehwag and Warner put on 146 from 70 balls last time out but we have seen them so far in the tournament up to that point where they've fallen very cheaply (Sehwag in particular). It's not everyday that Gayle hits 102 off 55 balls too. He too can be extremely hit and miss and if he goes cheaply then there will be a lot less DLF's. Delhi have a very seam-heavy attack though and I'm sure the Challengers will get rid of any overpitched dobblers from them. Likewise Delhi will more than likely face 7 or 8 overs from Kolhi/Dilshan/Ninan which could be very painful. When you it all up, twelve maximums isn't too far out of reach and I feel that the line at WillHill has to be taken on. There is a little danger but at a ground that saw twenty three less than a week ago with arguably less attack-minded players than what we'll see today, a dozen seems pedestrian.

Re: Cricket: West Indies vs Pakistan - Twenty20 International & ODI Series I was thinking they'd end up doing something like that. Meh was worth pointing out anyway. One for tomorrow. - 2pts Most Economical Bowler: Saeed Ajmal (vs. Bishoo, Afridi, Roach, Bravo, Riaz) @ 7/2 (via StanJames) This is not a market I venture into too often but looking at this pitch and the way Ajmal bowled two days ago then this is definitely worth a punt. He deserved more than a solitary wicket the other day because at times, he bowled majestically. Lendl Simmons and Darren Bravo didn't really know what to do with him and they were beaten repeatedly by his impressive range of variations. Looking at the five he has to contend with and you can pretty much immediately reduce it down to three. This pitch effectively offered nothing for the seamers. The pitch at St. Lucia is horribly slow and flat and the seamers will find nothing there similar to waht they experienced on saturday. On top of that, between the three seamers, there were 20 extras bowled which, as you can imagine, helps no-one in an economical sense. That leaves Ajmal, Afridi and Bishoo. Bishoo is a very exciting young prospect in the game and has proven here and in the world cup that he has potent, wicket-taking ability. He is still very young though and despite taking 4 wickets the other day, he went for 48 runs (double what Ajmal went for). Ajmal bowled very well and the price for him to be top bowler reflects this having come in to 7/2. This I feel has more of a chance though. I actually think this will be taken by either him or Afridi and to be truthfully honest, I think Ajmal is the better candidate. Again, small stakes here but a slightly more confident punt.

Re: Cricket: West Indies vs Pakistan - Twenty20 International & ODI Series
I don't know if this is some sort of mistake or not but there is no way on this earth that Pakistan should be 6.5 to win the most sixes bet tomorrow. I've been on Skybet site itself and the line is the same over there, it's not just an oddschecker mistake. Pakistan really are 11/2 to win the Sixes Matchbet (check here) and that's just wrong.
The other bookies have got the right idea. The 1st ODI only finished 3-2 to the West Indies so that in itself tells you Pakistan shouldnt be this high. The odds for the tie and the Pakistan win are definitely the wrong way round.
Get on this before they realise. -
Re: Cricket: Clydesdale Bank 40 Flippin' ell what an end to that match :loon Great knock from Woakes, shame it went against the general concensus in here though. Not all bad however, seemed like a good day all round and nice shouts on Chopra. Well played chaps :clap
-
Re: Cricket: Indian Premier League 2011 Delhi post the third highest score in IPL history and also produce the highest opening partnership of the tournament so far :lol sigh. -21.54. Aiming to get that deficit down. Looking ahead to tomorrow and I can't help but feel Mumbai will win this one, especially at Hyderabad. Not even thinking of touching them at 1.50 though. Deccan are just ridiculously hit and miss and you get the impression they're going to need every one of their best players to hit if they're going to get anything out of tomorrows match. - 4pts Most Match Sixes: Mumbai Indians @ 11/10 (via Boyles) The track at Hyderabad has seem quite a few DLF maximums. There have been at least 8 in every single match there so far and with some big hitters expected to line up from Mumbai, I can't really look past them to hit more than the Chargers. I've said so far in this tournament that Deccan CAN hit sixes if they want to but annoyingly for me they never have when I need them to do so. Against Malinga, Munaf and a ridiculously in-form Harbhajan, I can't see them hitting many more tomorrow. If Mumbai bat first then I think this is a wrap. Sachin, Rayudu, Sharma, Symonds and Pollard is a great mix of power and touch and they would hit sixes against the best of bowling attacks. The middle order is where the power is and that is more than likely where they'll be facing the lesser quality bowling of part-timers like Dan Christian and Shikhar Dhawan. I fancy Mumbai here to hit the most sixes and I was a little surprised to see them at odds-against to do so. I guess the danger here is that Deccan bat first, post a lowish score and Tendulkar and co chase down at pedestrian rate, not really looking to go over the top that much. Still though, Kings hit 8 maximums last time chasing Deccan here and I'll play that a side with massive hitters like Mumbai will do the same.

Re: Darts: Premier League Week 13 Thoughts for this evenings proceedings are as follows: - 1pt Correct Score: James Wade 3-8 Phil Taylor @ 7/1 [sportingbet] - 1pt Correct Score: James Wade 4-8 Phil Taylor @ 5/1 [sportingbet] Can't see Wade continuing his recent winning-ways in the Premier League tonight in Bournemouth. The Power is in some ridiculous form here and I see another night of ease for him. We all know he'll top the group so really and truely, the pressure is off. He's hitting doubles with his eyes closed and he's averaging 103+ every week. He'll be too much to handle for Wade tonight and I have had a small dig at the correct score markets. Can you really see Wade getting 5 legs? Not really. However he is good enough to pick up 3 or 4 definitely. I'd be slightly pissed off if he gets whalloped 8-2 or runs the Power close but even still, even a small Taylor win will have me smiling, because: - 8pts Simon Whitlock (vs. Terry Jenkins) x Phil Taylor (vs. James Wade) @ EVS [stan James] Don't envisage too many problems this evening for the Wizard and the Power. Simon needs to push on for that coveted 4th spot and he can put big pressure on Wade and Lewis with a win early up here. Webster is finished and he probably just can't wait for the competition to be over with so he can get a break from the game. I don't need to go into his recent results lately; you know how bad they've been. No matter how well he plays, he will finish bottom of the table and that's all that needs to be said. I just can't see a determined Whitlock losing 7 legs to an out-of-sorts Webster playing with no confidence. Probably would've taken Whitlock at -2.5 too but shall settle for the straight win. Taylor's half of this is listed above.
