To put it gently, old mate Holder wasn't quite landing those "yorkers"

 

[HugeJohnson]

1000th IPL Game ever between Rajasthan and Mumbai

That number can't be correct

 

[Cleavy]

That number can't be correct

cricinfo said it's the 1000th IPL game, so it's probably right

 

[akkaps]

Also they had celebrations at the venue for the 1000th game

 

[NYRB]

Orange cap looks a 3 horse race at the moment

 

[NYRB]

and its a log jam from 2nd to 7th with both upsets last night

 

[NYRB]

Given how well the WA contingent have gone at this years IPL. Id like to see more Perth Scorchers/WA players playing in the IPL league next season.


Jhye Richardson would have done OK at this tournament I feel.

But names that could be knocking on the door : Ashton Turner, Aaron Hardie, Ashton Agar and Josh Inglis.

[NYRB]

[NYRB]

bit of a Melbourne Stars flavour to tonights game with the Big Show v The Rig

 

[NYRB]

LSG Impact subs: Badoni, Daniel Sams, Avesh Khan, De Kock, Prerak Mankad.

RCB Impact subs: Harshal Patel, Shahbaz, Vyshak, Bracewell and Sonu Yadav.

 

[NYRB]

Stoinis has his fingers tapped which is interesting.

 

[NYRB]

KL Rahul look like he has done his hammy or quad

 

[NYRB]

Interesting dismissal of Rohit Sharma last night which I’ve only noticed upon replay today

 

[NYRB]

RCB are 42/0 after 6.0 overs of the Powerplay against Lucknow

 

[NYRB]

Outfield is lightning quick according to Howie tonight in Lucknow.

 

[NYRB]

There are alot of 2s on this ground .

 

[NYRB]

Kohli out for a slowish 31 off 30 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Get rid of the reverse sweep Big Show, especially early on your innings.

 

[NYRB]

How many times seriously does Maxwell get out reverse sweeping? I dont mind if he plays it when he has about 20 balls faced but its a bad shot to be playing given the game situation.

Whadda you think about the ball tracking? It hit him in the ribs

 

[NYRB]

There is a time and place for that shot. Maxwell is an enigma and there is no other way of describing it. His best is very good, his bad is very bad. There is no 'middle ground ' with him.

On first look, I thought it was LBW.

Maxwell was angry that , it was clipping above the stumps.

 

[NYRB]

Got to remember this pitch is keeping pretty low as well. So thats why I didnt mind the decision.
