10 - Pune Warriors team position after league stage............... 5.5 Over / Under
just checking, overs means higher (5,4,3,2,1) and unders lower (6,7..)  |
|
By:
no nilsson, overs means over 5.5, so 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th in the table.
unders means lower than 5.5, so 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th in the table  |

By:
ah nilsson i think i know what you mean. you are thinking 'under' as in under that position on the table.
no, the over and under refers to the line only, over the line or under the line  |

I think you need to explain something.
When you choose a batsman and a bowler, does the batsman score points just for runs and the bowler just for wickets, or, do they both score points for runs and wickets. |
