The IPL so far
Each team in the IPL has now played five matches. I thought I'd have a look at the points table. Really the only reason I'm doing this is because I end up looking prescient, and if I let it go too long the results might start turning against me.
Near the end of this post, I came up with some half-baked ratings on how clever each team's bidding was. Contrary to just about everyone else, Jaipur (ie, Rajasthan) came out best. I didn't even really believe it myself, so I don't want you to go back and read the paragraph afterwards in that post. Just pay attention to the numbers.
Q gave his auction ratings here, while Arjwiz gave his here.
I've got the top three! Albeit in the wrong order, because of net run rate. In terms of Pearson's rho (-1: perfectly wrong, 1: perfectly right), I'm at 0.62, Q's at 0.34, and Arjwiz is -0.27.

Lol nice post, David. Looking forward to ending up at the top of that table at the end of the tournament! :)
Great comparison DB. I'd also like to see this at the end of the tournament. Rajhastan have surprised all!
