Speaker 2 (03:10):
But this is coming from a fan that nearly shares
the name with a cult.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yes, KK, let's move on, April K. I don't know
anything about it. There is no there is no racist
you need I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That is from you two. Let's get into the show,
lads of the IPS. Biggest talking points. First of all,
I don't want to touch on this too long.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I want to touch this.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Let it just it'll get its flowers, all right, thank you?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
A b are on top of the ladder so far
with a game in hand, but there's only one win.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That separates last to first, so it's not that big
of a deal. So yeah, there's two other how much
can we written?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
There's two other teams on the four points can Away
and I told you boys get on the Delhi capitals there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
But it's said about how you start, how you finished.
Isn't that right?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Because also you know they say titles aren't one early April.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
But it's But it's also about where you finished too.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, first we are you finished in the top four
for the remember that there we go next morning. The
biggest talking points before Leo goes on on RCB podcast rant,
We've got Sunrises score of two hundred and eighty six.
Their first matches scored two and eighty six, was the
second highest score in IPL history. Awesome from my the
Orange boys in the eighth of the ladder and there
(04:37):
at ladder.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But it's only one and two. The standings, yeah, the standings, Yes,
the standings a lot. We can go the ladder. Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Obviously their twenty twenty four record IPL record is two
hundred and eighty seven. So they're just making monster scores.
But there hasn't been as big a scores this year
as last season.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yes, they're chasing, they're chasing down very quickly.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, this is what I've noticed.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah, fun fact come sort of strike rate of zero
in that two hundred and thirty six game.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
What a fun fact.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, at least one ball got zero.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Let us know in the comments that if you're having
a time.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It was different, but was fun. It was different.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's how I got described a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Different when you're unusual.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, no, not that one, just.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Different, unique, unique, unique individual.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You've had that one?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, absolutely, next one.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, fun size size size five sized. Next, one of
the biggest talking points in the IPL, we've got ashwhighty
Kuma is the first Indian player to take four wickets
on debut in IPL.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There we go, thank you four for twenty four he
had from Mumbai on his debut, So first Indian player
to ever do that on Yeah, in the IPL, lovely,
which is pretty cool. Love he's a bit of a
rising start twenty three, so twenty three he's not that young,
but all right, it can come through the race. And
if you're a faster ball age twenty four twenty four, ooh,
you're old man. Lastly in the talking about before we
(06:00):
get into most runs most wickets is Brack Colly.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh wait, hang on, I thought he didn't he wasn't
doing anything.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
No, yeah, check it out short where said Vera Cooley
hasn't done much, So.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
No, I expect more from him. I expect more from him.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Not out and his team's not not his team, but
he's a part of a team that's from two.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, so he's are from him. But he's got an
average of ninety so far. Fifty nine night out and
thirty one was his other innings. As well, so pretty solid.
I was I was definitely wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
In that one. He's pretty good for It shows how
much you keep up with the No. I keep up
with every team, just not. But I'm a bit sick
of them. What are you thinking of us?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They've got a big fan base and we'll get into
the common Maxie anymore?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
No MAXI. Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Maybe maybe that was that was what was dragging you down.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Tim David, Now, yeah, he done much. He made a
twenty two or eight. Actually, haven't put him in the Yeah,
what his inform? We won that game by twenty runs,
I believe. There go it was off his own bat.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
There we go, all right, most runs so far in
this orange cap, that's the big best. Trying to copy
that with the with the golden cap and all that crap.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
But I don't mind this. Nicholas Baran for luck.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Now he's got one hundred and eighty nine runs, average
of sixty three, two hudred and twenty strike rate two fifties.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
He's on, he's not pouring runs.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
He's run. Let's go.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Let's call him Nicholas rich run, Nicholas most run.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Most run, Nicholas most There we got a nickname for Australia.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Sawyer doesn't even have an average yet. He's played two games,
made one hundred and forty nine runs.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Oh, I like that, so it's very good. Likes it.
He's a beast streights, he's a lot of people. I
think it's someone picking for the most runs. No, No,
I don't think I did. Maybe I've read some things
online that said he was gonna have a really good season.
It was really good bad season as well a couple
of He's in the top five run scorers as well. Yes,
we've got Travis Head.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Who else is up there, Mitch marsh Oh yeah, forgot
about the surprising the average of forty one.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You've put Travis Head most runs you put k a
whole boring.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I put the man.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Gil Should we should man?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Should we track how our predictions are going so far,
like how those runs are scored?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, so let's get the runs.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Good preparation.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's just good. And people they come to Wat's this
they do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We had two thousand last one, so yeah, make sure
you hit the subscribe buttons.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Don't worry about it. Let's just talk it out. Wait
till we can, wait till the next wait three games
in for most teams, so it's all good.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, so Nicholas Brand's letting the runs at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Then we've got the Purple Cap, which is the most
wickets in the tournament so far.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
No, he's got nine wickets for change. Well it's is
it not at the end? So I think it's arm
mged anyway, nor is killing it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
He's got nine wickets in his three matches with an
economy of six point eight three.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It's got four for as well.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But Mitchell Stark has eight wickets in just two matches lads,
so he pretty much on track for the Purple Cap
so far because he's played one less match and he's
got eight wickets in two matches.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
He's on fire. He is on fire.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And then there's a bunch of others with six and
five around him, but not bad economy of ten, although.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Economy of six that's unreal.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Believe in a team where you've got today during Ashwyn
and he's.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, because we said they've they've got the best spin
attack and you would have gone, you probably would have
ranked him one of the lowest spinners in their team.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And he's got the most wicked.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
An update on who He said for most I've got
it's at the bottom of the chakra.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I can't see him on the top list. He's either
can I see or raid Khan for me?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So we've really that if we want most runs, I
could get it up because he's got.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Now what do we have for the most run prediction?
He's up there. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yes, he is not on my list.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
He's not on my list. Yeah, a lot of our
Indian fans and the comments don't like Shriubman.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Gill is not on my list either. So so far,
stats guy, you're doing pretty good.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Thank you. He's leading. But I don't think Chuck Revuthy
is doing much just yet. Let me have a look
at his.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Gill has seventy one runs. He could get them in
two winnings. Big Century will bring Jack Ruthy for KKR.
Has he been playing I'm going to double check it. Yes, no,
said he's played three matches. Oh wait, that's call. Has
played one game fifteen runs and that's your.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Fifth best player in the.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Go check out our video where we ranked the top
ten players of the i p L all time and
Marcus put k hall.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
At It was in the top five.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
He was in the if you want.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
To see its.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Market on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Not outrageous.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Also, Chack Routhy has been playing three wickets in three
matches there you go, and an average of twenty four.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But his economy six as well. He's by okay. He
just needs to get a few more wickets for my
prediction to come up. There we go.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
All right, all right, that's the biggest talking point so
far in the IPR. Let's get into Aussie watch. We
love talking about the Aussies. We already mentioned him, but
I'm happy. It's good to see Mitch Marsh building back
into some confidence because he was in a very bad rot. Yes,
so he obviously got off from the Australian team. He
couldn't couldn't git it off the square. It was getting
bold every two seconds. So he's got two fifties in
(11:24):
the first two matches. Last night of the night.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Before he got a golden duck. He can't win them,
but he can't win them all. So are we happy
that Mitch making some run?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He's great vibes, I'm sure, Yeah, he'd be some managing
the Bison, Yeah, the big Bison.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah. Trap ball my favorite player for the sun Rises.
He's got one fifty is averaging forty five though, so
that's it's really good so far across the three matches,
fourthmost in the runs.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
So we think he can beat the in the runs.
Can the sun Rises? You look that they've had, They've
got a pretty good deck to bat on.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, the previous season, there's no reason why Trevors said can't.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Absolutely, and then we already touched on Starkey.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But I'll say that he got his first ever i
PL fire far, which is which is I was a
bit surprised by that.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, the ball raised the ball.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That surprise i PL is you don't get too many
fire flers, but him and Hazel would have dominated for
a long period of time.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I feel like it's more skilled to get a fire
for in i PL in cricket.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, I think he meant IPL compared to
Big Bash. No, yeah, Big Bash is a lot easier
to get. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yes, yeah, because there's a lot of the batters are
better and then the pitchers are harder the ball and
for a past ball. The fact that he's got a
fire for in India, Yeah, true, that's awesome he's second
in most wickets, but he's pretty much first because he's it.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I reckon, I reckon he will. We didn't really, we
didn't back him in our most wickets, but that's like
we never do. Yeah, he's underrated. We've talked about that before.
He's a very underrated man.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Underrated cricketers of all time.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Would he be in our top ten he cricketers list,
which we also have.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He wasn't, but he's put him like tenth maybe maybe
what would he be?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I had him in there because I rated him highly
and then you guys are like, no, I think I
remember this.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
We'll check out the video when you underrated.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
He's got to jump on everyone.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I did this, I did that.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
I said this. But now let's go to the outer
form as he plays.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, well, I forgot to put in the half.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Your man got five five wic gets in two matches,
economy of five though against che so he was so
he's got the best economy got bowlers so far. So
the half is what is.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Absolutely killing any Australian economical bowler. I want Josh Haswood.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, I agree. Do you want to touch on some
of the other guys on there?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
The rooster j Crasy McGirk. He's had a terrible summer
in Australia. Uh, not only four Australia, but also in
the Big Bash thirty nine runs across his two matches. Look,
it's not as bad as the start of his Big
Bash form, but he does need to you know, make
us gore and go on when there on the IPL
because he did have a great IPL. Oh yeah season
(14:03):
last season.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I think he'll still be all right, but he definitely
needs to fire up because he hasn't made it just
for a score above about other than that one game
in the Big Bash where he made me mooney. He
other than that, I don't think he's made above thirty
in all the other innings in like the past six months,
which is big worry.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Just for his own confidence. And he's getting paid a lot.
That's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You think a young guy going IPL where you getting
paid millions would gets your head a bit.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Like you like he did last season.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
No, I did last season.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm not saying him, but even just other people, like
there's so much pressure to perform compared to some other moments,
I'd say, I'd say so.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I think Cricket's probably a bit different from other sports
aspect because it's still such as you have to have
a bit of luck. It's still such an individual game
inside of a team game.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
True.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
At the same time, yeah, so would he be the
type to, you know, get carried away.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I think he's at a pretty level.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
He's very confident and I hope he keeps that confidence'ident.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
But I think he can get carried away.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, but he needs to be a bit smart. Will
all agree with that? One?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Another beautiful man, Spencer Johnson even beautiful now his head.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I was about to say he has shaved his hair.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I think he's struggling.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
He went from an eleven down to like an eight.
Adams is that economy and economy?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, well his economy is still eleven. In fact, Betty's struggling.
He has got one wicket in three matches. Usually, I
pl when you're in that sort of form, you could
get dropped because they got massive squad. Sure, but it's
always funny when you're paying someone the big bucks and
it's always dropped you. It'll be interesting. He probably deserves it. Unfortunately,
he hasn't got not gone too well. And then Paddy Cummins,
(15:39):
he's also a Sunrises man two wickets in three matches
and an economy of thirteen and left.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I think for Cummins, will think, is it purely because
he's just come back from his back injury.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Injury, had a baby, had a baby as well. Yeah, baby,
he hasn't got that new Dade strength yet.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
We used to talking. Now he needs to milk the
baby first.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
No, no, what the baby needs to get the milk
from him from back covens, because that is how it works.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Game predictions.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, let's get into the game prediction. That's enough of
buzzy want game predictions.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't worry about this guy in the middle. He's
just having a good time. Game predictions will start off
with let's just go quick here and we'll see if
we agree on not r C B taking on Good.
You're at Titans, I'll go, I'll go to that.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Surprised me. I just want to the two teams that
you sorry, you said Good would be right up there.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yes, probably probably my second favorite team Good rat Kid
at Home.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, you said they would be your winner. I said that, Yeah,
he did say that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Next one is KKRST. I don't know why I said
like that.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Sunrises than Sunrises winning.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
They're all old want to tip KKR. You just have
to be different.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, he's he wants to support his steam. I think
the Sunrises are just building into this competition. Their list
is amazing and they're gonna win.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Here. Luck Now taking on Mumbai Indians.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I luck now.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I don't mind the Umboius, especially with the young guy.
Was it Kumar? Yeah? He started really well. So I'm
going to get back of their first win. I'm very nice.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Last two here, just for the weekend, we're going to
cover Chennai super Kings taking on the Dai Capitols.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm going to go Dai Daly surprised me because Chena
is batting apart from Ravendra Gay Quad made a sixty.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
He was up there. Just call me god boys.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I had them, I had I had them third in
my overall ladder prediction.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Where are they now? Yep, the third.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh, but it's very very I've got another month.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
They're going.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
They're going to stay up there because I think they're
going to win fair enough.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I'm going to go, Yeah, I'm going, We're going Deli
and you we're all going. That's surprising. Actually, I reckon
prase M he's gonna fire up in this one against.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Last time, cut off genuine.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Last time, the Punjab Kings taking on the register and
Royals are gonna go to the worst teams. Yeah, I agree.
I'm going to go as wellister to the Oils. He's different,
he likes to be different. That's right. We'll let us
know in the comments. Are your game predictions and how
we went up with that as well. Let's finish it
(18:25):
off with the.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Fan comments with them.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
What is this man? I just saw an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Because you said let us know in the comments, and
then you said we're going to finish it off someone
to say with the fan comments.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
That's what I.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Didn't seem.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Oh good mate.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I was literally about to say, let's finish off with
the questions and fan comments. If you do have a
good comment, we'll read it out on the show, or
if you want to have a go, I'll tell your
predictions or what you think is gonna happen in the IP.
We would love to read it out first one. It's
mainly just two guys just going and in the comments,
but we had a lot of comments. Yeah, we did
come a bit of slack for our knowledge.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
We just hear the vibes.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
We don't.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
We're not here to give you. We are we give
you nuggets of knowledge, but the main thing not the
in depth, in depth about exactly right YouTube you can
you can do this. I feel like you haven't said
that much.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Red note Dash, what was that funny?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Why?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Nine T says R c B made a big mistake
not retaining Maxwell and not getting Ratcham, Revendra or and
Varma for lower prices, but they got Sharma and Paditar
for high prices. No one justifies their selections. They are
destined for ninth or tenth place.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
This was.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I like, I actually really rate Sharma and Parditar so.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Well's to came not on your point to that now.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I just think the point will be like we could
have spent less to equal, which is true probably, but
I think I don't know. I feel like we have
the all rounders there that we don't need. Revendra Sharma
is a wicket keeper. Paditar is a good opening bat
you can sub out bring on a bowler.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I don't know. I can see your point, but at
the same time, get start now read now.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
We love your comments. He was going all in on.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
He was saying that they're just there for the Instagram followers.
They're the big team and everyone likes the support, but
they're never going to win it. So they're the Collingwood
Collingwood al in Australia. But colin Wood do winr CB
is this they you said the predictions it wasn't, but
you're on board now.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I'm always on board, coy.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Next on Leo in the comments, we got two from.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Our favorite sd q a z x yep. I'm never
going to say that fluently. My top four for playoffs
harder about Mumbai, good rat and Punjab RCB will win hearts,
Insta followers and Partici participation pats. They've won my heart
and follow I'm sure you follow them instag Yeah, I
(20:53):
follow them on Twitter that Yeah, what do we thinking
about that? Hujabad, Mumbai, good job top four. I don't
know about putting Jab, but the other three I don't mind.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Will be out there. Well, you said you don't know
about Punja, but you had them in your top four.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So I didn't see them in person. I've seen in
person now on TV and I've been watching them on TV.
Now I don't like what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
At the moment. Second you said, you don't like what
they you don't like a lot of lads. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Stop saying so like that is so fair as I
want the people at home to know that guy spent
all day on this.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Give me some credit for that. He's looked at the ladder,
he's looked at what are you doing? I looked at
all the staf.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
So we also had summarizes who Mumbai are currently fifth.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Sorry, Punjab will not make the playoffs. I still agree
with that. I've changed changed for you. What do you mean.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Will not be in the playoffs? But you predicted him
in the play roasted, so he roast him. Also, you
guys don't know stuff as well, but I just know we.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Showing it anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
His other comments that we want to touch on, he
says Ko ain't popular in India lads.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
He is hated for having a slow strik. So that's
your man, k That's why I like him.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I like a traditional cricketer and that's why he is
one of the best I p O players.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
But that's too slow.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
No who cares runs. He wins matches and he's one
of the best I PO players ever in existence.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's not true he's one of the best. He's the epitome.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Sorry, he's the pit of me of peak male athletic performance.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
That's outrageous. Let us know.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
In the went about that one as well, and then
the last one. There was so many comments about this
being a brain run show. I think we've definitely lived
up to that. Leo said he's for the frize in
the bag. I heard him say that earlier.
Speaker 4 (23:09):

That'll be sick, really really crap batsman?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What some of the comments that really likes that?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But this is coming from a fan that nearly shares
the name with a cult.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yes, KK, let's move on, April K. I don't know
anything about it. There is no there is no racist
you need I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That is from you two. Let's get into the show,
lads of the IPS. Biggest talking points. First of all,
I don't want to touch on this too long.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I want to touch this.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Let it just it'll get its flowers, all right, thank you?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
A b are on top of the ladder so far
with a game in hand, but there's only one win.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That separates last to first, so it's not that big
of a deal. So yeah, there's two other how much
can we written?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
There's two other teams on the four points can Away
and I told you boys get on the Delhi capitals there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
But it's said about how you start, how you finished.
Isn't that right?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Because also you know they say titles aren't one early April.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
But it's But it's also about where you finished too.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, first we are you finished in the top four
for the remember that there we go next morning. The
biggest talking points before Leo goes on on RCB podcast rant,
We've got Sunrises score of two hundred and eighty six.
Their first matches scored two and eighty six, was the
second highest score in IPL history. Awesome from my the
Orange boys in the eighth of the ladder and there
(04:37):
at ladder.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But it's only one and two. The standings, yeah, the standings, Yes,
the standings a lot. We can go the ladder. Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Obviously their twenty twenty four record IPL record is two
hundred and eighty seven. So they're just making monster scores.
But there hasn't been as big a scores this year
as last season.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yes, they're chasing, they're chasing down very quickly.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, this is what I've noticed.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah, fun fact come sort of strike rate of zero
in that two hundred and thirty six game.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
What a fun fact.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, at least one ball got zero.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Let us know in the comments that if you're having
a time.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It was different, but was fun. It was different.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's how I got described a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Different when you're unusual.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, no, not that one, just.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Different, unique, unique, unique individual.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You've had that one?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, absolutely, next one.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, fun size size size five sized. Next, one of
the biggest talking points in the IPL, we've got ashwhighty
Kuma is the first Indian player to take four wickets
on debut in IPL.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There we go, thank you four for twenty four he
had from Mumbai on his debut, So first Indian player
to ever do that on Yeah, in the IPL, lovely,
which is pretty cool. Love he's a bit of a
rising start twenty three, so twenty three he's not that young,
but all right, it can come through the race. And
if you're a faster ball age twenty four twenty four, ooh,
you're old man. Lastly in the talking about before we
(06:00):
get into most runs most wickets is Brack Colly.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh wait, hang on, I thought he didn't he wasn't
doing anything.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
No, yeah, check it out short where said Vera Cooley
hasn't done much, So.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
No, I expect more from him. I expect more from him.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Not out and his team's not not his team, but
he's a part of a team that's from two.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, so he's are from him. But he's got an
average of ninety so far. Fifty nine night out and
thirty one was his other innings. As well, so pretty solid.
I was I was definitely wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
In that one. He's pretty good for It shows how
much you keep up with the No. I keep up
with every team, just not. But I'm a bit sick
of them. What are you thinking of us?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They've got a big fan base and we'll get into
the common Maxie anymore?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
No MAXI. Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Maybe maybe that was that was what was dragging you down.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Tim David, Now, yeah, he done much. He made a
twenty two or eight. Actually, haven't put him in the Yeah,
what his inform? We won that game by twenty runs,
I believe. There go it was off his own bat.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
There we go, all right, most runs so far in
this orange cap, that's the big best. Trying to copy
that with the with the golden cap and all that crap.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
But I don't mind this. Nicholas Baran for luck.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Now he's got one hundred and eighty nine runs, average
of sixty three, two hudred and twenty strike rate two fifties.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
He's on, he's not pouring runs.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
He's run. Let's go.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Let's call him Nicholas rich run, Nicholas most run.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Most run, Nicholas most There we got a nickname for Australia.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Sawyer doesn't even have an average yet. He's played two games,
made one hundred and forty nine runs.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Oh, I like that, so it's very good. Likes it.
He's a beast streights, he's a lot of people. I
think it's someone picking for the most runs. No, No,
I don't think I did. Maybe I've read some things
online that said he was gonna have a really good season.
It was really good bad season as well a couple
of He's in the top five run scorers as well. Yes,
we've got Travis Head.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Who else is up there, Mitch marsh Oh yeah, forgot
about the surprising the average of forty one.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You've put Travis Head most runs you put k a
whole boring.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I put the man.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Gil Should we should man?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Should we track how our predictions are going so far,
like how those runs are scored?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, so let's get the runs.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Good preparation.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's just good. And people they come to Wat's this
they do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We had two thousand last one, so yeah, make sure
you hit the subscribe buttons.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Don't worry about it. Let's just talk it out. Wait
till we can, wait till the next wait three games
in for most teams, so it's all good.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, so Nicholas Brand's letting the runs at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Then we've got the Purple Cap, which is the most
wickets in the tournament so far.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
No, he's got nine wickets for change. Well it's is
it not at the end? So I think it's arm
mged anyway, nor is killing it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
He's got nine wickets in his three matches with an
economy of six point eight three.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It's got four for as well.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But Mitchell Stark has eight wickets in just two matches lads,
so he pretty much on track for the Purple Cap
so far because he's played one less match and he's
got eight wickets in two matches.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
He's on fire. He is on fire.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And then there's a bunch of others with six and
five around him, but not bad economy of ten, although.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Economy of six that's unreal.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Believe in a team where you've got today during Ashwyn
and he's.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, because we said they've they've got the best spin
attack and you would have gone, you probably would have
ranked him one of the lowest spinners in their team.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And he's got the most wicked.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
An update on who He said for most I've got
it's at the bottom of the chakra.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I can't see him on the top list. He's either
can I see or raid Khan for me?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So we've really that if we want most runs, I
could get it up because he's got.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Now what do we have for the most run prediction?
He's up there. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yes, he is not on my list.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
He's not on my list. Yeah, a lot of our
Indian fans and the comments don't like Shriubman.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Gill is not on my list either. So so far,
stats guy, you're doing pretty good.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Thank you. He's leading. But I don't think Chuck Revuthy
is doing much just yet. Let me have a look
at his.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Gill has seventy one runs. He could get them in
two winnings. Big Century will bring Jack Ruthy for KKR.
Has he been playing I'm going to double check it. Yes, no,
said he's played three matches. Oh wait, that's call. Has
played one game fifteen runs and that's your.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Fifth best player in the.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Go check out our video where we ranked the top
ten players of the i p L all time and
Marcus put k hall.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
At It was in the top five.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
He was in the if you want.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
To see its.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Market on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Not outrageous.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Also, Chack Routhy has been playing three wickets in three
matches there you go, and an average of twenty four.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But his economy six as well. He's by okay. He
just needs to get a few more wickets for my
prediction to come up. There we go.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
All right, all right, that's the biggest talking point so
far in the IPR. Let's get into Aussie watch. We
love talking about the Aussies. We already mentioned him, but
I'm happy. It's good to see Mitch Marsh building back
into some confidence because he was in a very bad rot. Yes,
so he obviously got off from the Australian team. He
couldn't couldn't git it off the square. It was getting
bold every two seconds. So he's got two fifties in
(11:24):
the first two matches. Last night of the night.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Before he got a golden duck. He can't win them,
but he can't win them all. So are we happy
that Mitch making some run?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He's great vibes, I'm sure, Yeah, he'd be some managing
the Bison, Yeah, the big Bison.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah. Trap ball my favorite player for the sun Rises.
He's got one fifty is averaging forty five though, so
that's it's really good so far across the three matches,
fourthmost in the runs.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
So we think he can beat the in the runs.
Can the sun Rises? You look that they've had, They've
got a pretty good deck to bat on.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, the previous season, there's no reason why Trevors said can't.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Absolutely, and then we already touched on Starkey.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But I'll say that he got his first ever i
PL fire far, which is which is I was a
bit surprised by that.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, the ball raised the ball.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That surprise i PL is you don't get too many
fire flers, but him and Hazel would have dominated for
a long period of time.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I feel like it's more skilled to get a fire
for in i PL in cricket.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, I think he meant IPL compared to
Big Bash. No, yeah, Big Bash is a lot easier
to get. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yes, yeah, because there's a lot of the batters are
better and then the pitchers are harder the ball and
for a past ball. The fact that he's got a
fire for in India, Yeah, true, that's awesome he's second
in most wickets, but he's pretty much first because he's it.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I reckon, I reckon he will. We didn't really, we
didn't back him in our most wickets, but that's like
we never do. Yeah, he's underrated. We've talked about that before.
He's a very underrated man.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Underrated cricketers of all time.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Would he be in our top ten he cricketers list,
which we also have.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He wasn't, but he's put him like tenth maybe maybe
what would he be?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I had him in there because I rated him highly
and then you guys are like, no, I think I
remember this.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
We'll check out the video when you underrated.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
He's got to jump on everyone.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I did this, I did that.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
I said this. But now let's go to the outer
form as he plays.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, well, I forgot to put in the half.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Your man got five five wic gets in two matches,
economy of five though against che so he was so
he's got the best economy got bowlers so far. So
the half is what is.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Absolutely killing any Australian economical bowler. I want Josh Haswood.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, I agree. Do you want to touch on some
of the other guys on there?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
The rooster j Crasy McGirk. He's had a terrible summer
in Australia. Uh, not only four Australia, but also in
the Big Bash thirty nine runs across his two matches. Look,
it's not as bad as the start of his Big
Bash form, but he does need to you know, make
us gore and go on when there on the IPL
because he did have a great IPL. Oh yeah season
(14:03):
last season.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I think he'll still be all right, but he definitely
needs to fire up because he hasn't made it just
for a score above about other than that one game
in the Big Bash where he made me mooney. He
other than that, I don't think he's made above thirty
in all the other innings in like the past six months,
which is big worry.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Just for his own confidence. And he's getting paid a lot.
That's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You think a young guy going IPL where you getting
paid millions would gets your head a bit.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Like you like he did last season.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
No, I did last season.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm not saying him, but even just other people, like
there's so much pressure to perform compared to some other moments,
I'd say, I'd say so.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I think Cricket's probably a bit different from other sports
aspect because it's still such as you have to have
a bit of luck. It's still such an individual game
inside of a team game.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
True.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
At the same time, yeah, so would he be the
type to, you know, get carried away.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I think he's at a pretty level.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
He's very confident and I hope he keeps that confidence'ident.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
But I think he can get carried away.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, but he needs to be a bit smart. Will
all agree with that? One?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Another beautiful man, Spencer Johnson even beautiful now his head.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I was about to say he has shaved his hair.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I think he's struggling.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
He went from an eleven down to like an eight.
Adams is that economy and economy?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, well his economy is still eleven. In fact, Betty's struggling.
He has got one wicket in three matches. Usually, I
pl when you're in that sort of form, you could
get dropped because they got massive squad. Sure, but it's
always funny when you're paying someone the big bucks and
it's always dropped you. It'll be interesting. He probably deserves it. Unfortunately,
he hasn't got not gone too well. And then Paddy Cummins,
(15:39):
he's also a Sunrises man two wickets in three matches
and an economy of thirteen and left.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I think for Cummins, will think, is it purely because
he's just come back from his back injury.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Injury, had a baby, had a baby as well. Yeah, baby,
he hasn't got that new Dade strength yet.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
We used to talking. Now he needs to milk the
baby first.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
No, no, what the baby needs to get the milk
from him from back covens, because that is how it works.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Game predictions.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, let's get into the game prediction. That's enough of
buzzy want game predictions.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't worry about this guy in the middle. He's
just having a good time. Game predictions will start off
with let's just go quick here and we'll see if
we agree on not r C B taking on Good.
You're at Titans, I'll go, I'll go to that.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Surprised me. I just want to the two teams that
you sorry, you said Good would be right up there.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yes, probably probably my second favorite team Good rat Kid
at Home.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, you said they would be your winner. I said that, Yeah,
he did say that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Next one is KKRST. I don't know why I said
like that.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Sunrises than Sunrises winning.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
They're all old want to tip KKR. You just have
to be different.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, he's he wants to support his steam. I think
the Sunrises are just building into this competition. Their list
is amazing and they're gonna win.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Here. Luck Now taking on Mumbai Indians.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I luck now.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I don't mind the Umboius, especially with the young guy.
Was it Kumar? Yeah? He started really well. So I'm
going to get back of their first win. I'm very nice.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Last two here, just for the weekend, we're going to
cover Chennai super Kings taking on the Dai Capitols.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm going to go Dai Daly surprised me because Chena
is batting apart from Ravendra Gay Quad made a sixty.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
He was up there. Just call me god boys.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I had them, I had I had them third in
my overall ladder prediction.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Where are they now? Yep, the third.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh, but it's very very I've got another month.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
They're going.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
They're going to stay up there because I think they're
going to win fair enough.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I'm going to go, Yeah, I'm going, We're going Deli
and you we're all going. That's surprising. Actually, I reckon
prase M he's gonna fire up in this one against.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Last time, cut off genuine.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Last time, the Punjab Kings taking on the register and
Royals are gonna go to the worst teams. Yeah, I agree.
I'm going to go as wellister to the Oils. He's different,
he likes to be different. That's right. We'll let us
know in the comments. Are your game predictions and how
we went up with that as well. Let's finish it
(18:25):
off with the.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Fan comments with them.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
What is this man? I just saw an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Because you said let us know in the comments, and
then you said we're going to finish it off someone
to say with the fan comments.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
That's what I.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Didn't seem.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Oh good mate.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I was literally about to say, let's finish off with
the questions and fan comments. If you do have a
good comment, we'll read it out on the show, or
if you want to have a go, I'll tell your
predictions or what you think is gonna happen in the IP.
We would love to read it out first one. It's
mainly just two guys just going and in the comments,
but we had a lot of comments. Yeah, we did
come a bit of slack for our knowledge.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
We just hear the vibes.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
We don't.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
We're not here to give you. We are we give
you nuggets of knowledge, but the main thing not the
in depth, in depth about exactly right YouTube you can
you can do this. I feel like you haven't said
that much.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Red note Dash, what was that funny?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Why?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Nine T says R c B made a big mistake
not retaining Maxwell and not getting Ratcham, Revendra or and
Varma for lower prices, but they got Sharma and Paditar
for high prices. No one justifies their selections. They are
destined for ninth or tenth place.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
This was.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I like, I actually really rate Sharma and Parditar so.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Well's to came not on your point to that now.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I just think the point will be like we could
have spent less to equal, which is true probably, but
I think I don't know. I feel like we have
the all rounders there that we don't need. Revendra Sharma
is a wicket keeper. Paditar is a good opening bat
you can sub out bring on a bowler.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I don't know. I can see your point, but at
the same time, get start now read now.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
We love your comments. He was going all in on.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
He was saying that they're just there for the Instagram followers.
They're the big team and everyone likes the support, but
they're never going to win it. So they're the Collingwood
Collingwood al in Australia. But colin Wood do winr CB
is this they you said the predictions it wasn't, but
you're on board now.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I'm always on board, coy.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Next on Leo in the comments, we got two from.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Our favorite sd q a z x yep. I'm never
going to say that fluently. My top four for playoffs
harder about Mumbai, good rat and Punjab RCB will win hearts,
Insta followers and Partici participation pats. They've won my heart
and follow I'm sure you follow them instag Yeah, I
(20:53):
follow them on Twitter that Yeah, what do we thinking
about that? Hujabad, Mumbai, good job top four. I don't
know about putting Jab, but the other three I don't mind.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Will be out there. Well, you said you don't know
about Punja, but you had them in your top four.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So I didn't see them in person. I've seen in
person now on TV and I've been watching them on TV.
Now I don't like what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
At the moment. Second you said, you don't like what
they you don't like a lot of lads. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Stop saying so like that is so fair as I
want the people at home to know that guy spent
all day on this.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Give me some credit for that. He's looked at the ladder,
he's looked at what are you doing? I looked at
all the staf.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
So we also had summarizes who Mumbai are currently fifth.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Sorry, Punjab will not make the playoffs. I still agree
with that. I've changed changed for you. What do you mean.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Will not be in the playoffs? But you predicted him
in the play roasted, so he roast him. Also, you
guys don't know stuff as well, but I just know we.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Showing it anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
His other comments that we want to touch on, he
says Ko ain't popular in India lads.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
He is hated for having a slow strik. So that's
your man, k That's why I like him.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I like a traditional cricketer and that's why he is
one of the best I p O players.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
But that's too slow.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
No who cares runs. He wins matches and he's one
of the best I PO players ever in existence.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's not true he's one of the best. He's the epitome.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Sorry, he's the pit of me of peak male athletic performance.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
That's outrageous. Let us know.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
In the went about that one as well, and then
the last one. There was so many comments about this
being a brain run show. I think we've definitely lived
up to that. Leo said he's for the frize in
the bag. I heard him say that earlier.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What is going on? What has happened that before?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You didn't hear it happened to this show? All right,
I'm calling it before I embarrass myself anymore. That stops
for the Cricket Today Show. We'll continue to do the show.
In a couple of weeks. We're gonna be covering IPL

sure you subscribe.
Speaker 1 (23:32):

YouTube and Cricket Today AU all over the socials.
Speaker 4 (23:36):

Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Leo, I'm not restless. I'm having a good time.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Thanks mate, Thank you very much, Marcus, thanks boys, thank
