[King Kong]

Has Khawaja joined the team?

 

[devilsadvocate]

Even though MSD would probably end up losing , I am still supporting him.

 

[street cricketer]

The pitch looks quite green and there is a good breeze around the stadium.

Might be a low scoring one this.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

What a strange action S Kaushik has - it's a bit like Paul Adams.

 

[street cricketer]

Lol who is this guy?

Paul Adams II?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Paul Adams reincarnated....how do these twist their arm that much ?!

Cricinfo:
Shivil Kaushik is left-arm mystery spinner, with an action similar to Paul Adams'. Kaushik, who does not have a contract with a domestic team, caught the eye of many talent scouts with that whippy action for Hubli Tigers in the Karnataka Premier League. "He's a back-of-the-hand bowler. He himself confesses that he doesn't know which one will turn which way," Hubli's coach Anutosh Poll had said of Kaushik.

Lol

Lol

KPL seems to have thrown up a few mystery bowlers...KC Cariappa & now this guy.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

That is so unlucky - a no ball.

 

[Havok]

lol what a weird action

 

[Gabbar Singh]

 

[street cricketer]

That is so unlucky - a no ball.

Did he get a wicket?

 

[Abhilash93]

Brad Hodge looks so old !

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Rahane playing a match losing knock.

Kaushik turns himself more than the ball.

 

[Muhammad10]

RPS 118/1 (13) Time out.

 

[Havok]

Nice throw

 

[Muhammad10]

Rps 144/2 (16)

 

[Muhammad10]

160/2 (17)

 

[King Kong]

4 connective dot balls from Dhoni.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Steve Smith's match winning 100.

Someone like BMac should repeat the feat for Lions to win.

 

[JaDed]

Ahh Smith goes after his

 

[Muhammad10]

Smith bowled by Bravo after scoring 101 (54).

RPS finish on 195/3.

 

[Muhammad10]

Gl 9/0 (2)

 

[Hasan123]

Smith is showing people he's a decent t20 player . Never thought he was as bad as some comments as I saw on social media.

 

[Muhammad10]

Gl 48/0 (4)

 

[aniket1911]

Smith and Macca are mowing down the total alone.

Insane hitting !

 

[Thivagar]

Bring in Murugan Ashwin and get rid of these duds.

 

[Belawal2014]

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool onslauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuught!

 

[Shaan]

lol MCculum and smith hitting ball like tennins ball

 

[Muhammad10]

GL 93/1 (8.1) McCullum out caught Morkel bowled Bhatia.

Damn.. Was fooled by the grass. Belter of a pitch. Feel for the bowlers

 

[Muhammad10]

Gl 100/1 (9)

 

[Muhammad10]

112/1 (10)

 

[Muhammad10]

GL 116/2 (11) DR Smith out, bowled by Perera 63(37).

 

[Muhammad10]

128/2 (13)

 

[King Kong]

Ashwin has regressed a lot in the past few months. He doesn't seem to have confidence in himself, neither does Dhoni have.

 

[JaDed]

Smiths performing today!

 

[Muhammad10]

Gl 147/2 (15)

 

[Muhammad10]

Gl 161/2 (16)

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pune seems to have no life.

Bowling is absolutely crap.

Ashwin has to just go and work on his stuff. Has been in woeful form this IPL.

Rahane....please please start smashing. Your classy knocks are hurting us.

 

[JaDed]

Much needed wicket,RPS must have the worst bowling unit after Punjab.

 

[JaDed]

Dinda really thinks of himself as a pacer,that headband is annoying to say the least!

 

[JaDed]

Lucky Raina!

 

[King Kong]

Pune are just about in the game. Great over from Murugan A.

 

[Muhammad10]

GL 176/3 (18) 20 required from 12.

 

[carrom_ball]

Great over by murgun ashwin under the cricumstances, just 4 runs , is murgan the better ashwin too?

 

[JaDed]

What a lucky wicket lol@ Dinda!

 

[King Kong]

Needed a decent over from Dinda. Shouldnt give more than 10 runs. Need at least 10-12 in the last over to have any chance of winning this game.

 

[JaDed]

Jaddu out,stupid post by myself

 

[JaDed]

Damn Faulkner is more dangerous than Jaddu.

 

[King Kong]

Lol Dinda. Can't stop laughing my head off.

 

[carrom_ball]

Dinda is the real deal

 

[JaDed]

Stupid ball ,Dinda

 

[King Kong]

Dhoni should take a brave decision here and give the last over to Murugan. No way Perera can defend this.

 

[Muhammad10]

187/5 (19) 9 required off the last over.

 

[JaDed]

Lol Perera remains a tool!

 

[JaDed]

How has Lanka persisted with this guy i fail to understand.

 

[carrom_ball]

187/5 (19) 9 required off the last over.

Is it your job to update scores after becoming mod? Never seen you interested in IPL matches before

 

[King Kong]

As usual Dhoni does a Dhoni.

 

[jattafridi]

yes gujrat lions won

dhoni lose

 

[jattafridi]

what a match

 

[JaDed]

Game Maari Che lol

 

[Muhammad10]

Is it your job to update scores after becoming mod? Never seen you interested in IPL matches before

I follow most cricket matches, even if I don't watch them completely.

GL need 3 off 3.

 

[carrom_ball]

How has Lanka persisted with this guy i fail to understand.

Yeah jaded, talk nah

 

[JaDed]

Oh my Tiwari looks so fat now lol.

 

[JaDed]

Rahane what crap throw!

 

[Thivagar]

LOL ew why would any team want Perera lol. Why is Dhoni playing him ?

 

[JaDed]

Basic things are done wrong by RPS.

 

[Thivagar]

Fans yellling "dhoni". Dhoni can't do anything just being a keeper lol.

 

[carrom_ball]

LOL ew why would any team want Perera lol. Why is Dhoni playing him ?

Because he is that damn good he took the match to the last ball

 

[JaDed]

Yeah jaded, talk nah

he was crap with his wide a wicket doesn't take it away.

 

[JaDed]

Indian local players really need to up their effort,Dhoni furious with Rahane.

 

[Muhammad10]

Faulkner seals a last-ball win for GL.

 

[JaDed]

EFF! Smith's awesome effort wasted!

 

[carrom_ball]

Smith and Kohli, brothers in arms both scoring centuries in a losing cause

 

[Thivagar]

Because he is that damn good he took the match to the last ball

by bowling a full toss of the first ball for 4, followed by a 10 feet wide ball

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Felt Murugan Ashwin should have bowled the last over.

But again its a call that can go either ways.

his last over was damn goooooood.

 

[carrom_ball]

Rahane should retire from t20s, I aplogize for creating a thread to include rahane in the Indian t20 team
