Lomror playing for Rajasthan today. Have heard good things about his hitting ability. Another u19 graduate.
 
Samson is showing his class again. Not sure when will dumb selectors realize it. Huge difference in class between him and mannish/kedar.
 
RR vs SRH: Rajasthan Need 44 Runs Off 24 Balls To Win vs SRH

RR lost.

Stokes and Butler haven't done justice to the price they were bought at.
 
Kane Williamson is the best captain of the fab four.

Followed by Kohli and then Root.
 
KKR will be happy with the start so far. Don't see RCB defending 160/170. So they need to accelerate.

Yes they need 200+ min.. even that I am not sure if they can defend. They are straight opposite to Sunrisers. Dumbest captain and worst bowling line up.

Why isn't he even in T20Is? India always experiments in T20Is

What !! Kohli is pathetic !! India win despite and not because of his captaincy.

He is a better captain than Joe Root and Steven Smith doesn't come into discussion for obvious reasons.

He is not a good tactician but he is an aggressive leader who inspire his team with performance from the bat and never lets the team morale down. Root can improve though but I am not sure he is a captaincy material.

He can inspire team without captaincy too. Don't think he has capacity to think two things at once. Better let him bat and appoint a captain who is not actively sabotaging the team.

Lots of reasons but mainly that he was decent at best outside IPL until last year. And Dhoni now plays just the LO's so hard to justify resting him without dropping him altogether.

Dumb selectors. They prefer strokeless wonders like Manish over him. Grandpa Dhoni is still holding WK position which he should have left to Pant or Samson longtime back.

He is not getting dropped anytime soon from captaincy. So, that means he will be the one to continue because he had success in international arena which is what matters.

That’s why I hate Dhoni, I hate CSK even more.
 
Guys , I have a doubt regarding DRS. Suppose umpire gives a batsman out for a supposed inside edge onto pads and caught at short leg or wherever. Batsman refers. No inside edge. Does the third umpire then checks for LbW ? If so , what if there is an umpires call situation for ball pitched in line or hit the pad ? Umpire dint give out for LBW
 
he is the dumbest captain, but man this guy is the genius when he has bat in his hands. Smartest batsman as well.
 
WengerOut said:
Yup bowled superb yorkers tdy. Hope the DD performance was a one off. There also he bowled superbly for first two overs. Iyer then smashed him.

Iyer looks like he has achieved a level up. He is pretty smart man too.
 
Kolkata Knight Riders require another 121 runs with 10 wickets and 13.3 overs remaining

How much of an improvement over his nidhas top speed is that?
Click to expand...

Well he surpassed Mavi now to become second fastest bowler . 149.94 kmph. Surprisingly started to bowl full length balls . In Nidahas , he was around 140 - 143
 
Kohli shouldn't delay Chahal any longer. RCB can only win by picking up wickets.
 
Uthapa gone. RCB need to get some dot balls and try pick up another wicket quickly.

Yeah bro the third umpire will check for lbw as well. Same will happen in the opposite scenario too. At the time of appealing the fielders and the bowler don’t tell the umpire what they’re appealing for and when the umpire says not out, he declares that the batsman is not out under any law of cricket. So if the ball tracking shows umpire’s call, the original not out decision will stand.
 
Ashwin should have tried a straighter 1. Could have got hit for a boundary but also could have got a wicket.
