In my last post I put up what I considered the fair prices for the teams in the upcoming IPL 2011 competition.
Based on those prices I then put this money into the market:
||Team||Offering||Asking||
||RCB||6.4||7.8||
||CSK||6.8||8.6||
||MI||6.8||8.6||
||KKR||7.4||9||
||Pune||7.4||9||
||Deccan||8.8||11||
||Delhi||8.8||11||
||RR||11||14||
||Kochi||17||22||
||KXIP||44||55||
So far I've not had too much interest in what are admittedly fairly wide spreads. I got my back on Pune matched early, which I'm happy about, but after a slow week I've now also had most my lays on the favourites matched too.
Most concerning I think is my lay of KKR at 7.4. I also don't like the feeling that I have liabilities against most the favourites and larger 'green' on the outsiders, even if...

My first impressions are the top4 will be 4 out of RCB, MI, CSK, Pune, KKR.
There's a huge amount of talent in this IPL, it's clear why they increased the number of teams.
From my memory of IPL3, bowling matters more than batting, as long as you have some people who can hold a bat. Remember Harby clubbing everyone for sixes at the death out of nowhere? At the end of the day a bowler can hit and giggle the bat balls and claim the 5wides as they fly past, but your mongoose wielding stars can't pick up a ball and bowl a maiden at the 19th.
This isn't to discount batsmen, they're certainly important. Strike rates and personality comes into T20, you don't have time to piss around. A lesson that hopefully certain players have learned.
CSK: Strong bowling attack, with capable batting...
