[Inswinger]

Im just hoping it will be a closer match then the earlier one.

 

[purplehaze]

Rajasthan won the toss and to bowl...

 

[drkilljoy]

Tanvir, Asif and Malik all dropped.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Asif dropped!

 

[dinakar]

Shoaib Malik 12th man!!

 

[Juggy D]

Boo no Pakistanians today!

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Can anyone hear the commentary? Willow TV seems to be acting up.

 

[12thMan]

no commentary. just stadium sound

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Cool. Thanks.

 

[12thMan]

So they got Macarena for Tanvir to add some batting. Can't be Hampshire connection as he was sitting out last few matches

 

[zam]

This is the worst day of pakistani cricket and they should do soul searching.........................Big mouths.............

 

[12thMan]

Commentary is on now
Dehli 39-0 after 5.1 overs

 

[12thMan]

Sehwag out ct at point off Watson
47-1 after 6 overs

 

[jackal786]

So they got Macarena for Tanvir to add some batting. Can't be Hampshire connection as he was sitting out last few matches

Warne is a big fan of Masca. He is leaving tomorrow. So he is getting a game for Masca. Their team is not in a depserate situation.

 

[12thMan]

Ghambir bowled
DD 68-3 after 9.5 overs

 

[Dhonifan]

Delhi better win this. they have to get up the table now or they wont make the semis.

 

[jackal786]

Malik saab is talking

 

[12thMan]

someone out
DD 94-5 after 14 overs

 

[nikred]

as DC is looking hopeless i am all in support for Rajasthan Royals. This team has a bunch of players who are playing their heart out and Munaf Patel.

 

[12thMan]

someone bowled
DD 100-6 after 15.5 overs
surprisingly the red dancers are also up dancing after their man got out

 

[nikred]

Maybe they are happy maharoof has come into bat

 

[jackal786]

Ya i was also puzzled

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Warne done!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Maharoof, hitting Warne for 4 sixes in an over

 

[12thMan]

Aamir Sohail:
No SIXES so FAR!!! -
Dilshan HAS to PROVE his Worth!
a fielder takes a diving catch is in the air and falls on the boundry rope and comment comes "too bad he couldn't regain his balance"

last over 27 runs. 4 sixes off Warne
149-6

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

It was Maharoof not Dilshan

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

And what the hell is with dropping all the Pak players today?

 

[jackal786]

And what the hell is with dropping all the Pak players today?

Do you seriously think Malik could have done what Maharoof or Dilshan did?

 

[Saj]

Do you seriously think Malik could have done what Maharoof or Dilshan did?

This is T20, anything is possible in this arena.

Great bowlers are being hit all over the park. Doesnt matter who the bowler is, one handed top edges are going for sixes.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Do you seriously think Malik could have done what Maharoof or Dilshan did?

what did Dilshan do?

But im not to bothered about Malik being dropped - Dilshan is a ready made replacement.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Malik may be struggling for his place from here on.

 

[12thMan]

G Smith dropped at square leg off McGrath. simple catch

 

[12thMan]

ABCDE villiers with a diving runout of Y Pathan
RR 11-1 after 3.1 overs

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Now then. Chance for Kaif to be an 'ero.

 

[Sparhawk]

No Asif, Malik, Tanvir, Afridi, Hafeez or Akhtar today. Is it a no-pakistan day? At least salman and gul slipped in. But asif and tanvir's exclusion doesn't make sense.

 

[Sheikh]

May have misheard but it sounded like Aamir Sohail just called Jonty Rhodes 'Junkie Rhodes'.

 

[jackal786]

Maharoof is proving his value so far.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Bye bye Kaif.

 

[12thMan]

Now then. Chance for Kaif to be an 'ero.

He did that by sacrificing his wicket

RR gets the lowest 5 over total of IPL - 15-2

 

[Vegitto1]

I guess Warne wanted to give Mascaheranas his last game since he is going back to the UK. Tht is the only reason I think he made Sohail sit out.

 

[Mohsin]

LOL what an over:

8.6 Mahesh to Watson, FOUR
8.5 Mahesh to Watson, no run, well bowled! He jams in the yorker and keeps Watson quiet as he digs it out back to the bowler
8.4 Mahesh to Watson, 2 runs, comes round the wicket this time, Watson leans forward and steers it just wide of cover and picks up a couple
8.3 Mahesh to Watson, 2 runs, Dropped: Watson goes for a short arm pull off a delivery which is fractionally short, Sehwag spills the catch low to his right at midwicket
8.2 Mahesh to Watson, 2 byes, Free Hit: Watson moves quickly across his stumps and attempts a cheeky paddle but he m misses, Karthik fumbles
8.2 Mahesh to Watson, 1 no ball, Free Hit: And Yomahesh oversteps again! He bowls the quick yorker and Watson fails to put it away as he chases it outside off
8.2 Mahesh to Watson, (no ball) FOUR, he oversteps! Bowls that too full outside off and Watson creams it past the bowler and sends the ball scorching to the long-off boundary
8.1 Mahesh to Watson, SIX, overpitched outside the offstump, Watson stays at the crease and lofts it high, he just gets enough elevation to clear long-off

 

[12thMan]

Watson dropped by Sehwag at midwicket
22 runs from over
RR 65-2 after 9 overs - need 92 from 66 balls

 

[12thMan]

Chakkay maar Khan Watson has moved to 41 off 21.
need 77 off 60 balls now

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Smith gawn

 

[12thMan]

G Smith out. Fielder takes a very good catch then the drama starts.
Aamir Sohail: "Who is it?!! (Yomahesh - Bishop) ... "Yomahesh you beauty! ... What a catch"

 

[12thMan]

Warnies 98-3 after 12 overs - need 59 runs from 48 balls

 

[DesiMunda]

LOL, Amit Mishra picks up another wicket with the googly..

Wasn't there a poster on here with the name "Amit Mishra bowls a Wrong One" ?

 

[jusarrived]

mishra continues to impress , he is quite handy with the bat as well ..... might see him play for india if he continues his good work!

 

[jusarrived]

apart from Tanvir & to some extent afridi every other pak player deserved to be droped !

 

[Mohsin]

50 up for Watto! RR 105/4 need 51 off 35

 

[12thMan]

Dimitri out bowled by Sehwag
127-5 - need 30 from 27 balls

 

[12thMan]

Watson on 73
Warneys 144-5 - need 13 from 18 balls

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Uh oh. Warne gawwwnnnnnnnnnn.

 

[12thMan]

Just what I was waiting for. Modi sitting right at the boundry. Didn't see him earlier. Match is not complete without that picture

 

[Mohsin]

can Watto finish things off with a 6?!

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Watson gawwwn as well, but not referred to 3rd ump as yet.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Ok he's out now.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Game still on?

 

[Mohsin]

Oh well he's won the game for RR, dont see D defending the 6 runs

 

[12thMan]

controversy
Watson was runout but umpire Steve Davis did not referr to 3rd umpire. Dehli players argue and call for 3rd umpire. They were mostly talking to Rudi not Davis. Some words between Watson and some Indian player (maybe Karthik). Davis calls for 3rd umpire and it is given out

Anyone remember Ganguly, catch and referrel and umpire getting penalized. Will that happen again

Shane Watson in one of the first 2020 legends.

When we are all old and 60+ (those of us who are in our 20's) we'll tell our grandkids about the legendary Shane Watson in 2020's like how people usedt o talk about Gary Sobers in tests.

This is the worst day of pakistani cricket and they should do soul searching.........................Big mouths.............

worst day of pakistani cricket?

you feeling alrite? this is a domestic 20/20 tornament!!

 

[WasimG]

Maharoof > Asif
Dilshan > Malik captain saab
Mascachandhenadkslas > Tanvir (on average)

Mascot did better than Tanvir has been doing except when he picked up 6 wickets.

Watson is the real beast.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

stop pretending ur busy. Have a go at it.

changed my mind now
your post doesn't deserve a genuine reply

 

[tmac4real]

changed my mind now
your post doesn't deserve a genuine reply

that's because you failed to understand it and have no rebuttal.

thank you come again!
