Having looked at that first game I think I had better clarify that my CSK entry "Ravindra" refers to Rachin Ravindra , not to Jadeja , in case there was any ambiguity. I should have used full names for all I guess but didn't think of this possible clash !

a fair bit of excitement in match 3 as KKR very nearly failed to defend 76 off the last 4 overs

lots of Jonny Fartpants clouds coming out of the backs of the fielders trousers, I imagine

well..... Looks like Hardik made a right pigs ear of that chase. Promoted 2 batters in ahead of himself and by the time they'd nurdled their way to hardly any runs he had too much to do in not enough time and got out early trying to flog his side over the line. I'm questioning why I picked him now with captaincy like that
