I've reviewed the IPL lists, Donny. I think the following is a comprehensive list of all the Australians taking part.
Zampa is on the Bangalore list. Simon Katich is the Coach.
Lynn, Coulter-Nile and Pattinson are on the Mumbai list.
Watson and Hazlewood are on the Chennai list.
Carey and Stoinis are on the Delhi list. Ricky Ponting is the Coach.
Maxy is on the Punjab list.
Cummins is on the Kolkata list (for a sum of 15.5 crores, the highest ever purchase for an overseas player in IPL history).
Andrew Tye and Steve Bradsmith are on the Rajasthan list. Bradsmith is the Captain. Andrew McDonald is the Coach.
Warner and Marsh are on the Hyderabad list, although Marsh is, as you know, injured. Warner is the Captain. Trevor Bayliss is the Coach. |

83 not out! He and Du Plessis ran down the 179 they needed without the loss of a wicket and with 2 and a bit overs in hand. It was good stuff. Watson was named POTM for his 83 from 53 with 11 4s and 3 6s. In their partnership, Du Plessis made 87 from 53 with 11 4s and 1 6. Watson was actually ahead of Du Plessis until Faf decided to put the contest to bed in the 18th over.
When you said you'd been watching the earlier game, I didn't want to post a spoiler, in case you were going to watch this game on delay.
I think Punjab, batting first, made a big mistake with Maxwell - they brought him in so late that he only received 7 balls before the end of the innings. |

"After a lean run of form, Aaron Finch was dropped for Bangalore's clash with Mumbai on Wednesday and replaced at the top of the order by Josh Phillipe, who impressed with a 24-ball innings of 33 in a 71-run opening partnership with Devdutt Padikkal (74 from 45 balls).
The right-hander took on Mumbai's potent pace attack, hitting Jasprit Bumrah and James Pattinson to the boundary and Trent Boult for a superb straight six before he was stumped off the bowling of leg-spinner Rahul Chahar."

The pandemic kind of distracted me from stuff like IPL...
But in the media about the current Test series, I saw they politely described Smith's IPL as "disappointing". He scored 311 runs in 14 innings at an average of 25.91, with SR 131.22.
That's not good. It fails The Ponting Criterion.

'Losing the plot': Pat Cummins continues Steve Smith's misery in IPL
2 Nov. 2020
https://au.sports.yahoo.com/ipl-2020-pat-cummins-kolkata-bowls-steve-smith-rajasthan-royals-234214174.html
Brad Hogg:
"Pat Cummins ... made Steve Smith look like a lower-order batsman."
"He had his footwork all over the shop. He was beating him on the outside edge and inside edge."
"Pat Cummins was way too good, way too quick, accurate and Steve Smith didn't have the answers."
[Comment: It feels a bit mean of them to let Smith face Cummins. Cummins is obviously a class above Smith. It's like bowling bouncers to a helmet-less number 11.
I've said before in this forum how lucky Smith is not having to face Cummins. What happened is no surprise. Even Pattinson roughed up and dismissed Smith in the BBL last season. Pattinson with his injuries is nowhere near Cummins. And remember: in T20 slogathons especially, everything is in favour of the batsmen.] |

One of the cricinfo guys wrote after the first innings that Ashwin's domination of Smith had its origins in the IPL.
If they're gonna work him out in the IPL, Smith should not play in the IPL. I know it's a lot of money, but... |

Nathan Coulter-Nile expected his release from Mumbai Indians: 'They paid overs for me'
(cricinfo)
That's refreshing honesty. One or two of his Oz teammates should learn from him. |
