Hi James - first time to this forum and am just walking down the different aisles
quick question - is there a IPL fantasy group created for people who want to complete with each other? I am interested to join if there is one

Hey, just wanted to know: How is a golden duck worse than a duck which takes up more balls in T20s (points summary gives golden duck -20 compared to -10 for an ordinary duck)?

[James]

That's an interesting point Harsh. Typically we consider a Golden Duck to be worse than a Duck in all forms of cricket don't we.

However, what could occur is someone could make 0 from 8 balls for example but be with a batsmen that is scoring freely and the partnership is 40 from 18 balls which is superb. Therefore even though its still a duck, its better than a golden duck.

If 1 run scored off 8 balls is worse than 1 run scored off 2 balls (since the league penalizes lower SR with a higher negative ), then why should the duck be any different?

Full Disclosure: I had Unmukt Chand in my team, but I did start making the argument yesterday

That's fair enough, you certainly make a solid argument Something we'll definately look at after the IPL concludes.

Haha damn
