On Hold IPL 2015 | Round 09 | CSK v KXIP / KKR v RR / DD v RCB*

[Greninja]

Well, no actually. As Raghu said:-



I think that this line-up should be perfect, You can decide who plays, Nehra or Mohit, besides if we open with our spinners, than we'll have a better chance of winning (Because the fast bowlers will bowl the death overs and the spinners will start defensively, I think that Mohit is better than Nehra at the death, that's why, I added him in the playing xi. You can change him, if You like.)

Hey! Look, @Sarvesh., my team changes, experiment and strategy worked! All three of our spinners were fabulous and dropping Dwayne Bravo and getting Samuel Badree, in, ended up being a great decision and just look at his figures!

 

[Aislabie]

Shiiiit....

If that doesn't vindicate my objection to Super Overs for league games, I don't know what will.

We've just got penalised for doing the first 251 balls of the contest better than the Chennai Super Kings, who won it based on the 252nd ball favouring them.

El.

Oh.

@Raghu

Super over rules are not followed properly.
The team batting second in the main match, bats first in the Super over.
So in this case CSK should bat first in the Super over and we should chase it down.

I would request a re-sim of super over if possible to get a fair result.

Super Over in the game not SIM by me... When Tie happen in T20 matches, simulator (cricket heroes) automatically SIM super over too... And simulator not contain any kind of super over mode in the game, so I am helpless in that case... Only thing I can do is to request the game developer to fix that...
