The IPL (continued)

Note to myself: the pitch changes behaviour.

Connor,

        In a test match, for example, the team captains may look at the pitch and conclude that from day three, say, the pitch is likely to "take spin." That is, spin bowlers will from that point will get more out of the conditions and be more effective in taking wickets than faster bowlers. This will affect their decision on whether to bat first or second, if they win the toss.

        This only a brief example of the cosiderations involved. In a T20 game, the condition of the pitch will not alter over the three hours or so duration of the match. Hence, it will not be a factor in deciding whether to bat first.

Ok... i'm going back to the cricket lab!

I slipped.

        We're not managing to "rope" anybody else in at the moment. We have to show them that it can be a "ball". Otherwise, we might all have to "bale" out. To "cap" it all, we could all "run out" of the door.

I like the 'toss' bit. 

Let me toss!!!! 

ffs

Are you going to silly point ?

Trolol! XD

Is the IPL finished yet?

        No, I'm sitting watching it now.

Yeah, today was the Royals vs. the Royals.

Hahahahaaaa..aaaaa....

*awkward cough*

There is a song about Royals 

        The Rajasthan Royals beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore - I won a few quid.

Do you ever lose a few quid?

        Yes, Connor. Yesterday I had bets on The Kings XI Punjab in the first game of the day and they lost. Having won my second bet above, I lost £6 overall.

wow!
