Player ratings are playing significant role for my losses. Boom Boom is not firing! It was impossible for Kuldeep & Co. to restrict them under 217. 218 is not a good score on this track, but Ashwin bowled really well. Our batting let us down in every matches, we need to overcome this dilemma. :(

Player ratings are playing significant role for my losses. Boom Boom is not firing! It was impossible for Kuldeep & Co. to restrict them under 217. 218 is not a good score on this track, but Ashwin bowled really well. Our batting let us down in every matches, we need to overcome this dilemma. :(
Boom Boom will fire down the order, unfortunately not this match as an opener. His rating is standard for him firing towards the end of an innings (very high strike rate) , but he will struggle against the new ball and good opening bowlers.

What about his bowling form? Why he is not bowling well? He is one of the best limited overs bowler. :rolleyes

He is rated similarly to players like Nabi, Petersen, Al Hasan and others. We all want our heroes to perform all of the time, sadly they don't always do. Especially in a fantasy cricket league. If it makes you feel better, I'll re-evaluate his bowling :thumbs
It's only week 2 of 10, give it some time and you'll see player averages normalizing :yes

Pitches explained:
Balanced pitches
are hard and flat pitches. The aim is to have a pitch that offers assistance to the batsman and the bowlers.
Green pitches having green grass on it makes it less abrasive on the ball and helps the ball to swing easily. Along with swing, the bounce in these wickets is unpredictable. Even if these pitches seem to help the seam bowlers but serve absolutely nothing for a spinner.
Dusty/Dry pitches imply pitches which will begin to gradually turn a lot, thereby favoring spinners and initially batsmen.
