Sam Curran giving Jaiswal a send off there.

 

[NYRB]

Ellis should have been given game time in the earlier matches. Kings XI Punjab may have shot their chances early by not playing him.

 

[NYRB]

I havent seen enough consistency from Kohler-Cadmore to convince me he is that good as people make him out to be.

 

[NYRB]

18 off 22 balls is poor on this wicket from TKC.

 

[NYRB]

TKCs painful innings of 18 off 23 , comes to an end.

 

[NYRB]

He is a poor mans Jos Buttler.

 

[NYRB]

How often does an injury break bring up a wicket?

 

[NYRB]

No demons in this wicket, Rajasthan have just batted poorly tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Royals post 144/9 and that was an underwhelming effort with the bat that.

 

[NYRB]

Bairstow departs thinking about his World Cup .

Standings after Game 65:

 

[Around the Wicket]

There is international cricket going on at the moment... just gotta know where to find it
There is also a West Indies A v Nepal series that proved interesting as well, West Indies A won that series 3-2

True international cricket, not that rubbish.

 

[NYRB]

A no result last night is a maybe not a good result for Sunrisers, with destiny not in their hand for a top 2 finish.

Down to 5 teams that can win the IPL.

Rcb going at 10 an over after 3. Still don’t think it’s quick enough

 

[akkaps]

Qual 1: KKR v SRH, tomorrow night
Elim: RR v RCB, Wed night

Qual 1: KKR v SRH, tomorrow night
Elim: RR v RCB, Wed night

SRH are the best side for me, but will they put it together who knows, least Chennai aren't in the finals.

 

[akkaps]

I really didn't want to see RCB in there, I stopped my mate placing a bet for RCB to win the IPL at $92 odds at one stage. Would have been a good cash out right now.

KKR and RR and more all rounded than SRH and RCB. Both SRH and RCB lack the bowling depth and heavily rely on the batting. Although with the English players missing, only SRH is not affected

 

[NYRB]

Cummins with two words for tonight “ LETS GOOOOOOO”

 

[akkaps]

Head goes for a second ball duck. After a first ball duck last game. Exact same type of dismissal.

 

[budge27]

Starc on fire

 

[Spook]

Maxwell being Maxwell again. Golden duck with terrible a shot.

 

[Cleavy]

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (the teams that finished 1st and 2nd on the table) will contest the final.

 

[akkaps]

Great game last night , Abhishek and Shahbaz took 5 wickets between the two of them. Our bowlers really stood up here.

 

[Westend]

Great work NYRB with your posts on the IPL and you too akkaps

good job
