[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Let's see if Misbah can get them out of trouble..

 

[XFactor]

It could be Misbah's day today..

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

There should be no place for the likes of Kallis and Dravid in a T20 squad.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

It could be Misbah's day today..

He should be batting higher up the order.

 

[Indiagem]

All hopes are on Misbah for many PPer's today.

If he he fails again today, gloom will visit many PPers.

 

[asifp]

Punjab will win easy

[Cryin Out Loud]

Dravid moving like a geriatric on speed.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

dravid is keeping the strike and not allowing misbah to play

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Bad boy Dravid! Keeping the bat to himself is he?

 

[Dhonifan]

[Mohsin]

Misbah gone LBW to chawla

 

[Sparhawk]

Misbah!! why does he wanna play forward defensive shots in the 16th over?

 

[shabs100]

lol... i guess IPL is just not good for the pakistani batsman.

 

[jusarrived]

why on earth was he defending that ball ?

praveen kumar gone !

 

[shabs100]

I wouldnt be surprised if misbah is dropped from the next game.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

gawwwn. Out.

 

[jusarrived]

lol at kings 11 fielding !

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

He's not having a good tournament, but Misbah is class. I'd back him any day.

 

[OZGOD]

LOL at Bangalore going at their usual Test rate.

 

[Mohsin]

P.Kumar gone, 2 wickets in the over!

 

[OZGOD]

Kumar gone

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Another gone. The RC (Royal Challengers) might as well drink some RC (Royal Challenge)

 

[shabs100]

misbah caused the collapse.

 

[jusarrived]

lol at kings 11 fielding !

@ B'lores running btw wickets !

Good 50 for Dravid !

 

[jusarrived]

Dravid on fire ....proving Good players are good , no matter which format of the game !

 

[shabs100]

Dravid on fire ....proving Good players are good , no matter which format of the game !

very well said.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

And Zaheer goes.

 

[Mohsin]

ZK gone for a golden duck. Chawla with 3 wickets!

 

[Garuda]

5 batsmen out for duck. good show Bangalore

 

[Sparhawk]

Dravid has been a lone warrior this innings.

Spoke to soon.. gets out right after hitting a six.

 

[jusarrived]

6 & out .... that cud be the difference btw 140 & 130 ...well played though !

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

LOL @ Dravid. Never seen him so steamed up.

 

[alexjohn_tcr]

6 & out .... that cud be the difference btw 140 & 130 ...well played though !

what an amazing shot for 6 that was ! Not many in world cricket can hit a six so beautifully

 

[Mohsin]

Early wicket, Hopes gone!

1.2 Khan to Hopes, OUT, caught! Zaheer bowls another full and wide ball outside off stump, Hopes moves forward and reaches out to drive the ball, he hits it in the air towards cover where White dives to his left to take an excellent catch
JR Hopes c White b Khan 5 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125.00

 

[12thMan]

No mention of Misbah on current cricinfo commentary page. The batsmen are doing well to avoid him
Kings XI Punjab 32/1 (4.0/20 ov)

 

[Mohsin]

P.Kumar gets 2 quick wicket including the skipper! You never know!

81/3

 

[jusarrived]

that shud have been caught .....pathan & chawala to follow this pair , couple of quick wickets required !

 

[Mohsin]

They need to support Kumar, he only has 1 more over left

 

[Sparhawk]

Steyn onto bowl, he'l get it done.

 

[Sparhawk]

Zaheer knocks out the stumps... aamir sohail thinks its too late but i think Bangalore are still in it.

 

[Mohsin]

ZK now IPL's joint highest wicket taker.

Who'd have thought that after his very first over in the IPL

 

[jusarrived]

kings will have go play badly to loose from here !
