GT 84/2 in 10 ... me just focussing on crwod & cheerleaders .

 

[Justcrazy]

Gujrat 111 . 2

42 balls to go , need to accelerate here

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab is doing well here , they not allowing Gujrat to take off.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is not a 200 run pitch , if Gujrat can get 180 , they can make a match out of this

Just noticed , ball is holding up a bit ... GT have Siraj , Rabbu [ off-form mostly ] , Krishna & the fast aging Rashid .

 

[Justcrazy]

projected score is 175 .

 

[Human786]

129/4 ... 26 balls left

Nice catch by Barlett .

 

[Justcrazy]

The issue with GT is that, apart from Glenn Phillips, none of their top five batters are genuinely explosive.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gujrat need to get some big shots , 137 . 4

18 balls left only.

Oh man that's a pretty long time to check a wide delivery lol..

Oh man that's a pretty long time to check a wide delivery lol..

Almost 5 minutes that did take..

 

[Smbhayi]

Finally Arshdeep's marathon last over done (saved by another wide drs call).. 11 ball he bowled last over..

Washington Sundar is a bang on average white-ball cricketer

Buttler looks finished

 

[Justcrazy]

163 is the target for Punjab

But Saar overall quality is far superior to PSL saar...... Current match another example of declining players.

Are you even watching the current match, or just crying? Every team has 2–3 average players, you can’t expect everyone to be ATG. Calm down.

 

[Human786]

Jeet gayi Punjab

 

[Cover Drive Six]

GT bowlers are trying their best, but it’s not easy for them.
Connolly played really well, what a talent he is!

More than half the players in there are average or declined there's very less great players in there nowadays.... Indians clearly having problems accepting this.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

16 off 12.
Super over please

 

[Cover Drive Six]

10 off 11

 

[Cric1234]

Looks like they were 10 runs short Mumbai and RCB genuinely look better than different teams.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Cooper Connolly is bang on in his very first match, good for Punjab!

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Prasidh Krishna was bowling yorkers really well, why did he suddenly start bowling hard-hitting balls and get thrashed?
Brainless death overs bowling.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Ashok Sharma looks like a good bowler

Buttler is a current England international not a retired has been

He's finished as a T20 player for England it was evident in this years World T20 was struggling to score on a 250 wicket.

9 out of top 10 rankings are part of IPL lol Buttler is one of them.

Buttlers hand eye coordination has declined...... rankings are not everything once Rizwan and Babar were top 2 and fooled people they were good T20 batsmen when us guys on here could see they weren't.

Ya. but these are legit players who play at high strike rate. lol You can't compare statpadders. Those two are outliers.

The end may be nigh for Buttler. He doesn't look like the same way anymore. Slower reflexes, balance is not there, head position is not the same...

Suna hai PEEESSSLLL main match start hone ke time se pehle barish ruk gayi thi but due to garbage level ground condition, match was abandoned.

Last year roof se pani tapak Raha tha or ab ground se nikala ni jar rha. Or ye Pakistan ka best stadium hai. ... Kya cricket kheloge re tum. ..

You are comparing Rizwan and Babar to buttler

 

[jnaveen1980]

You are comparing Rizwan and Babar to buttler

They have this standard argument. Ya they were unfairly in the top ranking wth sheer volume of their performance against weak teams, b string teams, minnows with high average. But that is not a norm anymore.

 

[finalfantasy7]

IPL banned those players unlike Pakistan where they welcome again.

Pakistan cricket is known for Fixing and tempering . period

yeh ipl really banned all those indian bookies based in UAE

 

[finalfantasy7]

These criminals are in every nook, corner of your tiny island

We saw examples of such thefts during economic crisis which hit your tiny island for 5 years from 2019

but yet the indians havent banned those indian bookies in UAE - i wonder why
