oops, looks like 2 threads were created at same time, mods pls erase one
 
Now Hopes is going ballistic. has made 29 in last 13 balls. Marsh has gone quite and taking singles
 
This is such a powerful batting line up. Full of clean strikers. That is the power of Preity zinta's hug.
 
:))) This is wonderful for Daredevils

first Royals help DD get into semis, and now Kings are demoralising Royals

Only 3 international players? Warne possibly playing mind games with the potential finalist ??

Or mindless games
This might just backfire with semis around the corner

Well Smith is injured and Warne and Tanno taking a break. But I would have liked Tanno getting couple of more wickets

Punjab aren't gonna achieve anything by beating Rajasthan without Warne, Warne the captain, Tanvir and Smith. Warne might be just resting the 3 important players but if they were to win this match Punjab would really be embarrassed.
 
Superb century for Shaun Marsh.

This lad looks like he is a fantastic ODI and T20 find for the Aussies.
 
Lawl at Watson. He looks clueless out there.
 
This sucks. They sent Kaif to open instead of Akmal. Looks like they don't want to chase
 
YK in as Kaif is bowled. Just don't get out to Sreesanth. He is only 2 wickets behind Tanvir
 
I really like to see how Younis Khan will run back to pavilion when he gets out.. is it going to be another 100 meter sprint :p

Much like Punter forgot his humiliation in India ? :p

Yeah, that was priceless too. Punter must be secretly begging India visa authorities to refuse him.

Waiting to see Yuvraj in the next text match though - where and when are we playingnext? He's a real waste of an airticket.
 
Why didnt Tanvir play!? Maybe if he did, they wouldn't have been completely mutilated?
 
This maybe the only game YK plays this tournament as semi-finals and finals Warne, Tanvir and Watson are in. If G Smith is fit then he is in or it a battle between Akmal and YK
 
Sreesanth getting hit by Patel. 18 runs of the over and most importantly no wicket to Sreesanth :125:
 
Absolute peach from Irfan...and YK begins his sprint..stump up-rooted.Beatiful shape on that delivery at a sharp pace.
 
Pathan bowling very quick today.. last ball was 141 kmph...
and cleaned YK..

good signs for Ind..with the amount of swing that Pathan generates if he bowls anything above 135 kmph he'll be a handful.
 
The way YK was swinging he just had to be on target. You usually miss the fly a few times before you can swat it cleanly. Sreesanth taken off. That can be dangerous as he will have a go at the tail and might get 2-3 wickets
 
watson has to go for it now surely, or does he plan to do it in singles??
 
Yuvi in trying to force the issue and make Rajasthan chase. 20 runs off the over

chawla is becoming one of the most unplayable spinners of 2020


hes not unplayable........but is capable of bowling some unplayable balls even wen the batsmen are going after him ....probably the coolest spinner i have seen in recent times !
 
Akmal you beauty. Hits a four instead of getting out to Sreesanth but then tries to test Y Pathan's fitness and speed. Pathan passes the first test and not runout

Akmal with two sixes now :117:
 
13.6 Sreesanth to Kamran Akmal, 1 run, yorker-length this time, outside off, pushed firmly to long-on but can't get the elevation, they settle for one
round the wicket now
13.5 Sreesanth to Kamran Akmal, SIX, massacre this, full and on middle and leg, he's cleared his front foot and swung it way, way over midwicket for one more, this is book cricket now, Akmal is soaring here, now then, is there a twist?
13.4 Sreesanth to Kamran Akmal, SIX, that's aimed at Lahore, slower one again and he's waited for that, brutal slog sweep over midwicket, that's a smashing shot, the Royals are jumping in the dug-out now
13.3 Sreesanth to Kamran Akmal, SIX, that's massive! good-length ball on the pads, Akmal walks across and swings clean over backward square leg for six, that's a biggie, he can strike them clean this boy
13.2 Sreesanth to Kamran Akmal, no run, full and outside off, punched hard to midwicket and Yusuf takes off, he needs to make a lot of ground to get back, Powar lets out a throw to the bowler but it's too wide and by the time Sreesanth whips off the bails, Brother Yo is home. All safe
13.1 Sreesanth to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, slower one, outside off and he's punched off the back foot, mis-field by Marsh at short extra cover and it trickles away for four, quick outfield this

Wow..Akmal 3 consecutive sixes off Showsanth...and good gesture by Sree applauding Akmal at the end of the over.
 
This team got some of the most inform strikers of the ball. Gosh.. this is an unbeatable side Royals even though they are going to lose this.
 
Akmal gone...everyday isn't a sunday.Piyush gets him.
