IPL League - Your predictions

We're only a few days away from the start of the Indian Premier League so I thought we'd have a little prediction competition.

I want you to pick three main players - a batsman, a bowler and a keeper who you think will top the averages over the course of the competition. Also, you have to pick a wildcard Indian player who you think will do well.

The plan is to take the position of all your players (in the average charts) and average them out, so if you were to have players ranked 5,18,12 and 50, your average would be 5+18+12+50/4 = 21.25.

The players will be ranked on their primary skill as chosen by you. The wildcard will be ranked normally if they played and gain an average, however if they fail to gain an one then they will automatically be given a ranking of 182, the same goes for any of your main players who fail to get a ranking.

A full list of players can be found here - IPL Teams. For the purpose of this, the Indian wildcard must be taken from a player who hasn't got their main skill written next to their name in the list provided.

I will do a round up stats after each round of matches (starting from round 2) and will produce a league table accordingly.

To play submit a reply set out like this -

Batsman:

Bowler:

Wicket Keep:

Wildcard (Skill):

So my selections are as follows:

Batsman: Cameron White

Bowler: Daniel Vettori

Wicket Keep: Mark Boucher

Wildcard (Skill): Napoleon Einstein (Batting)

*I can't seem to see the list above (computer's playing up) so I just guessed about Sharma counting as a wildcard. If he doesn't I'll pick another one*

PS masterblaster, I think it's either 'batting' or 'bowling' averages so 'allrounder' isn't an option as a main skill.

My bad, the link died over night. Have changed it to a fresh one now. You can use this one - IPL.

Also Rohit Sharma is a main player, so you need to pick one that hasn't got a money value next to their name, so use the new list and have a wild pick.

Also, masterblaster, can you pick either batting or bowling fro your wildcard.

Picking up on a theme?
 
Re: IPL League - Your predictions

Jimmy33 you saying Goel reminded me, in yesterdays game I noticed on the back of his helmet under the Coca-cola advert he had a swastika. I know it is a symbol that was already around before National Socialism corrupted it but I`d love to know what it stands for.
 
Re: IPL League - Your predictions

I think it was the 'backwards' swastika. Saying that, it was around long before the Nazi one. Im pretty sure, but not certain, it is a Hindi symbol for good luck.
 
Re: IPL League - Your predictions

its a holy symbol for hindus. got something to do with the gods.

btw its interesting to see that hardly anyone got their predictions right. palley got the batsman right in virender sehwag but others chosen players havent done particularly well.
 
Re: IPL League - Your predictions

Although my choice of team was useless!! I am still in shock that a team with Chanderpaul,Kallis, and Dravid cannot get runs.
 
Re: IPL League - Your predictions

I'll put up a quick table either tomorrow or Friday. Don't think it's going to be very pretty reading!
