[anuk]

jeez the crowds have been pathetic this season.

 

[Lords]

DD is being to being its old self.

Do you know how hot it is out there? wait till sun down.

 

[carrom_ball]

Bad night for the fizz, he has to face kohli tonight

 

[dauntless]

Supporting Delhi and bangalore but all are my favourites

 

[Lords]

What has happened to sanju, i really wanted him to succeed

 

[Hasan123]

Glad to see billings getting a game, him and butler are my favourite from the youngster beauties of England

 

[street cricketer]

Karun Nair looks the best of the young Indian players to me.

 

[Hasan123]

Karun nair looks like a talanted player.

 

[street cricketer]

Hope the Indian U19 opener gets a chance to bat.

 

[dauntless]

Caalu playing a blinder here

 

[street cricketer]

Billings looks a really good bottom hand player [MENTION=139981]HitWicket[/MENTION].

Fifty on IPL debut

 

[King Kong]

Even when Karun Nair and Samson used to bat together for Rajasthan, I always found Nair was more talented than the latter but Samson has that "Rohitish talent" for which the fans got carried away and hyped him as if he was the next big thing. Safraz and Vohra are also in the same category of Samson.

 

[dauntless]

Shami bowling fast and on good lengths too

 

[King Kong]

Mishra - What a terrible fielder. Yet to bowl in this match, still has given away 8 runs to the opposition team. Legend!

 

[King Kong]

This is the perfect example of how one ball can change the whole game in T20s. 14 runs scored off that ball.

What happened?

 

[TestMatch]

Mishra - What a terrible fielder.

Lol, Mishra just took an awesome catch which might singlehandedly win this game.

 

[carrom_ball]

Time for some humble pies for [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION] who was doubting delhi's selection of players

 

[Abhilash93]

Karun Nair looks the best of the young Indian players to me.

Selectors did a good thing by calling him up in the SL test series, should be the reserve player in Test squad instead of Rohit,

 

[JaDed]

Delhi is ruthless why was Duminy and Tahir dropped? And wow Carlos performed today.DD is the most interesting team this season.

 

[Dios]

KKR got thrashed after dropping Shakib

KKR should always play Shakib, Russell, Morkel and Narine as their overseas players and not tinker with that combination. Got what they deserved.

Anyway time for Fizz.

 

[badlapur]

DD has some of the finest young batsman from India and overseas. This over-rated Hasan dude couldn't do anything against them, KKR team management knew that and dropped him for a better player.

 

[King Kong]

What happened?

No ball was given as there weren't 4 fielders inside the circle and the bowler bowled a terrible ball which gave away 5 wides and then a six was hit off the no ball. All in all, a total of 14 runs scored in just one ball.

 

[King Kong]

Lol, Mishra just took an awesome catch which might singlehandedly win this game.

As if that was his brilliance. Just a fluke catch. Nonetheless, that fluke won the game for his team.

I said they are a hit and miss side.

When they click, they will click big.

Or else crumble easily.

Still stand by it.

KKR and Guju Lions are better.

Shakib looked like a tailender this IPL lol. It was a well deserved drop.

KKR and Guju Lions are better.

Hit and miss? They have won 4 out of their first 6 games, they are no. 2 on the table, they scored 186 after losing 2 wickets in the first over, they are more hit than miss I say

 

[carrom_ball]

Shakib looked like a tailender this IPL lol. It was a well deserved drop.

Why do you take the bait, streety?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

DeKock, Iyer, Samson, Nair, Billings, Morris, Brathwaite

In this list, Iyer and Samson have been woeful.

Morris and Brathwaite lower order bats.

Screams unpredictability.

One day, they will look like world beaters and another day flop without a trace.

You neeed explosive bats mixed with with explosive/reliable bats.

Kings XI made the same mistake.

In 2014, they looked unstoppable but after that, they have been sinking like crazy.

Delhi is nothing like kings XI , we have no captain we rely on two players, if they perform then we are unbeatable and if they flop then we can't win anything delhi has good mix of young Inidan players, explosive lower order, stable batsman like duminy, good spinner in tahir, a good captain in zaheer, delhi is the team to beat this season

You could be hit and miss and win a bunch of games in a row.

You may sometimes even do a tourney well (if players click at the right time) and then be nowhere to be seen next tourney.

DD is better than a few other sides (like Pune and Kings XI) but I won't place my bets on them.

Even in this IPL.

Too much shakiness for my liking.

You misunderstood.

Delhi is NOT like Punjab now.

lol.

Punjab's lineup was:

Old Sehwag, Vohra, Vijay, Maxwell, Marsh, Miller

Explosive but Unreliable.

Clicked in 2014 but couldn't do anything later on.

 

[Havok]

Yaad aa gaya - Kohli

 

[carrom_ball]

Sachin baby in place of sarfaraz today, interesting

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If only RCB had Starc and Badree....they would be the team to beat.

Insane lullooness in bowling.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Heard Zaheer's captaincy has been incredible this IPL.

Is it true?

 

[street cricketer]

Good to see Delhi doing well..

Hope they win the whole thing.

 

[AFG_Brit]

Who is the 4th international player in RCB? I can only see 3 names?

Gayle, AB, Richardson, Shamsi.

Thanks , gayle isn't playing so it's watson. I didn't know shamsi was international player. Which country is he from?

 

[street cricketer]

Ya sorry. It's Watson.

Shamsi is from south africa. A chinaman bowler.

 

[AFG_Brit]

Ya sorry. It's Watson.

Shamsi is from south africa. A chinaman bowler.

Thanks, I have seen him playing and I always thought he was a local player!

 

[street cricketer]

Thanks, I have seen him playing and I always thought he was a local player!

Yeah he looks like a desi..

 

[Hasan123]

Well played Delhi always thought they would be competitive this season

Let's see if the fizz is fizzed out by

 

[Abhilash93]

The last game seems to have really rankled RCB, gone with some extra pacers today.

 

[Hasan123]

Sachin baby gets a game today, always wondered why he is selected than not played, after all he has sachin in his name

 

[Muhammad10]

SRH cruising at 109/1 (13)

Srh 122/1 (14)

SRH 141/1 (15) Warner playing an explosive knock, currently 86 (47). Time-out.

[Muhammad10]

Srh 188/4 (19)

 

[Muhammad10]

SRH end the innings on 194/5.

 

[Lords]

SRHs game to lose

 

[carrom_ball]

If RCB don't chase this then they should drop all of their batsman from IPL, they can't defend any total due to their pathetic bowling, if they don't even win while chasing with the strongest batting line up in IPL then what is the use of those big names?

 

[Muhammad10]

Rcb 10/0 (1)

 

[JaDed]

Dhoni the keeper is becoming replaceable now w.r.t Rahul.

 

[Muhammad10]

Rcb 22/0 (2)

 

[carrom_ball]

Dhoni the keeper is becoming replaceable now w.r.t Rahul.

Dhoni the keeper is irreplaceable, those lightning fast stumpings can't be pulled off by anyone, dhoni will leave a huge hole in the Indian limited overs side

 

[Dios]

Hope Kohli can stay in the wicket until The Fizz comes to bowl.

 

[Muhammad10]

Rcb 29/0 (3)

 

[Dios]

These Indian bowlers

Letting a Test player thrash them all around the park.

 

[Abhilash93]

Wow! Rahul has really turned a corner....last few seasons he looked stuck at the crease, couldn't hit the big shots or rotate strike at all....gave the feeling that he was a limited batsman. He has improved his LOI game by leaps & bounds.

 

[JaDed]

Dhoni the keeper is irreplaceable, those lightning fast stumpings can't be pulled off by anyone, dhoni will leave a huge hole in the Indian limited overs side

Ofcourse no one can because he was also our finisher+keeper+street smart(tricking the batsmen) but we have to start grooming someone Pant is useless ,Robin won't come so its defn gonna be Rahul.

 

[carrom_ball]

These Indian bowlers

Letting a Test player thrash them all around the park.

Don't worry, the fizz will get his turn too

 

[Muhammad10]

Rcb 42/0 (5)

 

[JaDed]

lol Kohli gone to Fizz!

 

[Dios]

Fizz adds Kohli to his list.

 

[dauntless]

Mustafiz got virat

 

[JaDed]

I defn thought Ashish reddy would drop that,correctly caught this one.

anyhow ABD vs Fizz now.

 

[Muhammad10]

Mustafizur gets Kohli, repeat Mustafizur gets Kohli!!!

 

[Abhilash93]

soft dismissal

 

[JaDed]

Hyderbad crowd backs Fizz and Warner the most.

 

[carrom_ball]

Fizz adds Kohli to his list.

The Indian fielder got him the wicket

 

[Dios]

But but I thought Indian batsmen have mastered Mustafiz? How did the best Indian batsman get out to Fizz on such a flat track? [MENTION=134505]rhony[/MENTION]
