IPL | Bangalore vs Rajasthan | Bangalore | 26/04/08

[12thMan]

38 year old Sunil Joshi in. Who is he? Must be famous or real good to be drafted

 

[Legendary_Sage]

I dont understand why many people here are crying for Misbah. He is nothing special. I wud pick kallis ahead of him as kallis is an alrounder. Ross Taylor def a better hitter than misbah. He could have come in place of chandarpaul. but chandarpaul is recently in very good form and played matchwinning innings recently against SL.

Misbah will get his chance next game as chandarpaul has failed twice.

so even 100 is looking difficult to reach....... cuz they have so many special players in the team

 

[Dhonifan]

wkt maiden for Warne!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

on a side note... now i am tape ball specialist n it reminds me of Malik da captain...

 

[12thMan]

Praveen Kuman hits a 124 m six

 

[12thMan]

Tanvir causes a runout

 

[Legendary_Sage]

gud 2 see a pak player doing a good fielding

 

[Legendary_Sage]

good come back by tanvir.......after being hit badly in first spell

 

[Easa]

Praveen Kumar is on my fantasy team

.. thats all I really care about in matches where my favorite players aren't playing

 

[pakistanbest]

130 -7 19 overs

 

[pakistanbest]

well done wattie more points in the bag

 

[pakistanbest]

135 to win

 

[pakistanbest]

rawat has gone for a duck and well a poor decision to drop akmal

 

[pakistanbest]

hopefully zaheer can get smith here

 

[pakistanbest]

pathan continuing from where he left off

 

[12thMan]

If Misbah was there he would have got the run out of Smith

 

[Easa]

yousuf pathan gone after stroking five glorious boundaries, royals 26/2

 

[Easa]

watson and smith need to finish the game off here!

.. and Praveen needs to get some wickets!

 

[pakistanbest]

hopefully smith gets out soon and inshallah watson gets me a 50 for my much needed fantasy team

 

[pakistanbest]

wattie looking a bit unconvincing here.

need a 50 from him inshallah.

c'mon wattie me son

 

[Mohsin]

Welcome to IPL Anil!!! 2 4's off his very first 2 balls!!

 

[Foozee]

Misbah just recently played a match-winning knock against Bangladesh. That 'good form' argument is a joke. Misbah is twice the player Chanderpaul is in Twenty20s, not including him in the line-up was ridiculous. But I guess we cant expect sensible selection from a team that included Wasim Jaffer in their T20 team...

First of all i can undrestand your choice for Kallis, but firstly he hasnt done anything special so far, as well as kopping a heck of alot of critisism in the recent past.
And for for Taylor ahead of Misbah......................................sorry but))))

as well as Usman's points

13.6 Kumar to Watson, FOUR, make that 26, Watson has just waited for a full ball on middle stump and flicked it neatly off his pads, he's timing is immaculate, i finally see a fielder but he has no chance at deep backward square leg
13.5 Kumar to Watson, FOUR, and again! Watson leans forward and lofts the ball into the gap at the midwicket boundary, where are all the fielders? 22 runs of the over so far
13.4 Kumar to Watson, FOUR, Watson goes again! This time he gets under the ball and slices it high on the off side over cover, the ball falls inches inside the boudnary
13.3 Kumar to Watson, FOUR, too full this time from Praveen and too straight, Watson moves forward and flicks crisply into the gap at deep square leg
13.2 Kumar to Watson, SIX, that's short again and Watson uses all his muscle to pull the ball high and far over midwicket, he pulled that from outside off for a six to bring up the 100
13.1 Kumar to Watson, FOUR, he starts with a short ball down leg side which Watson tries to pull, he gets enough bat on it to place the ball past Boucher to the fine leg boundary
Praveen Kumar comes back for another spell.

[Easa]

26 off the over!

117/2

 

[12thMan]

Well Taylor will leave in a week, unless he is also staying for extra week with Vettori and McCullum.

Allrounder my @ss...Kallis would go for plenty in20/20...and his batting aint suited of 20/20...he might score big once in a awhile...Misbah is special 20/20 player, proven player...its like picking Symonds over Rahul Dravid in you 20/20 squad...get my point!

 

[Easa]

Smith gone for 49

130/3

 

[Mohsin]

Smith goes, chipping a catch to Kumble.

There goes the 50 and not-out bonus

 

[Mohsin]

Rajasthan Royals won by 7 wickets with Watto finishing things off!

 

[12thMan]

If Royal Challengers didn't realize in first 2-3 games that they need players like Misbah in the team (along with Taylor ... Misbah doesn't replace Taylor but Kallis or other) then they are Royally Challenged

[Boi]
