The Deccan Chargers sit just clear of the Punjab Kings XI with only three points separating first and fifth place.

A win for the Daredevils could see them leapfrog the Punjab Kings XI into second place and challenge the Chargers for outright first position.

Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals will continue their push for a top four spot when they front up against the Chennai Superkings, who despite having the third best for and against percentage, still remain in second last place.

The Royals are looking to regain the form that made them the 2008 IPL champions and showed plenty of that when they defeated the Daredevils on Tuesday. To bet on the upcoming games, make sure you visit CentreBet.

The Mumbai Indians will attempt to consolidate their position in the top four when they take on IPL easy beats and last placed Kolkata Knight Riders.

The Indians have shown plenty of promise with the bat and will no doubt make it very difficult for the Knight Riders.

To complete the round the Punjab Kings XI play the Bangalore Royal Challengers in Durban.

The Kings XI can grab a share of the lead and consolidate their bid for the play offs while Kevin Pietersen’s Challengers will need some disciplined batting and tightness in the field if they are any chance of securing two points.

Who would have thought that Adam Gilchrist would play a starring role for the Chargers against his old opening partner Matthew Heyden who is playing a loan hand for the Superkings and remains the IPL’s highest scoring batsman to date on IASbet.com?

The Kings XI Punjab side have moved to outright second with three wins from five starts after they accounted for the Mumbai Indians in a three run thriller that went right down to the wire. This excitement was almost parallel to that felt when a bet on NRL was placed before the big game.

Mumbai sit in fourth place despite having won just two of their five matches but with matches in hand to complete the fifth round will be very lucky to hang onto a top four spot.

Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals sit just outside the top four in fifth place on percentages after a much needed five wicket win over the Delhi Daredevils.

Looking down and out and in danger of missing the play offs, last year’s champions fought back with a solid innings from Graeme Smith and slashing innings from YK Pathan to take the points.

The Bangalore Royal Challengers lead by Kevin Pietersen sit in sixth position in the rankings just ahead of the Chennai Superkings following a solid five wicket victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders who are equal last.

The Knight Riders are just one win from six starts and no chance of making the play offs after back to back embarrassing losses to Bangalore and Mumbai.

He was carted all around the paddock by a feisty South African batting lineup to have over one hundred runs scored off his first eleven overs.
To rub salt in the wound, McGain failed to make a breakthrough and was replaced by Captain Ricky Ponting after just eleven overs.
The Proteas moved to an unassailable first innings total of six hundred and fifty one and MCGain would not get another chance to bowl for his country after Australia suffered it’s first single innings defeat in eleven years.

South African spinner Paul Harris showed that local knowledge can be at times invaluable as he snared three very valuable wickets on the first day of play proving that there was plenty of opportunities for a quality spinner to showcase his wares.
Despite a horror start, selectors (including Merv Hughes who overlooked paceman Andrew McDonald) declared that they would not have changed their selection in any case.

They had also stated that they would have much preferred an extra batsmen but did not feel that anyone currently in the domestic competition has what it takes to don the baggy green.
In their minds, Marcus North was the only batsman that they would have considered but he had been hospitalised given McGain his opportunity, which he failed to take. sportingbet.com.au

Coming off the back of a loss to the South Africans in both forms of the games and a drawn series against New Zealand, Ponting was quick to praise his young and relatively inexperienced bowling attack.

Despite the fact that fast bowlers Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle, Doug Bollinger and Ben Hilfenhaus have played just 23 tests between them, Ponting is confident his charges can take the twenty wickets required to dismiss the Proteas in any conditions anywhere in the world.

The inability for the Australian bowling attack to dismiss the South Africans in the recent series has very much been a talking point in the Australian and in fact international media.

It is no secret that the South African wickets have a tendency to favour swing and seam bowlers which are ideal conditions for the Australian attack.

Mitchell Johnson was a shining light for the Australian over the test series but seemed to struggle in the one day form of the game. Leaving selectors and the press adamant that the more he bowls, the better he gets.

Siddle had mixed fortunes in the test series and was left out of the one day squad in favour of Hilfenhaus who had a reasonable outing with the ball.

Bollinger domestic test has been exceptional but it is yet to be seen if his form will translate onto the international scene.Iasbet.com.au

Flynn was on ninety five runs, agonizingly close to his maiden test century when he was given not out following an LBW appeal.

Captain Chris Gayle promptly signaled to the third umpire. Rudy Koertzen, who, following a review of the ball in question gave Flynn his marching orders.

The new rule is not all a one way street though.

A batsman has the right to appeal a dubious decision in the event that he is given out.

There are limits to the new rule however with either side only allowed three incorrect appeal over the course of an innings before they lose the right to appeal.

Gayle was sympathetic toward Flynn for missing out on what would have been a fairytale innings after Captain Daniel Vettori’s show of faith in elevating him up the order to number three.

Flynn was disappointed but not overly phased at the decision claiming that there is no arguing with today’s technology.

Many sports have introduced the controversial third umpire but cricket is just a little bit trickier.

It is essentially exposing umpires to harsh criticism over a decision and taking power out of their hands.

If an appeal is upheld it is as good as openly saying that an umpire is wrong and hence detrimental to his credibility.

Nielsen practically scoffed at the South Africans attempts to fire up the Australian side, highlighting South Africa’s complete absence of victory (or form for that matter) on Australia soil since the side post apartheid inception back into world cricket in 1991.

Nielsen labeled any attempt by the Proteas to enter into pre-match sledging ahead of the first test in Perth as ‘cheap talk’, insisting that the South Africans need to let their cricket do the talking for once instead of their mouths.

Since 1991, the South Africans have lost four series on Australian soil and have tried every trick in the book to gain ascendancy over the unflappable home side.

Despite a recent lack of form in India, the Australian maintain their world number one rank while the South Africans have been elevated to number two, fanning the flames of competitiveness between the two teams.

But as every team knows, Australia is a completely different team on home soil, a fact the Black Caps found the hard way, losing both tests within four days and offering very little resistance.

Instead of returning fire, Nielsen offered some hasty advice to the South African team.

He noted the good average (in particular batting averages) of the Proteas this year and urged them to focus playing the cricket that has seen them reach world number two, instead of relying on cheap tactics and quick fixes.

Australia play as an exciting, honest brand of cricket that could do without the controversy of last year’s series in which India attempted to drag their series through the mud duringB and after a five-nil whitewash.
