IPL 2017

Difficult to call today's match. I'll say KKR.

[dan08]

Uthappa edges behind first ball. Umpire misses it...

[meninblue]

Pinch hitter Narine out for low score this time. Bhuvi has bowled 2 good overs.

[dan08]

Rashid Khan strikes in his first over.

[dan08]

Surely they are not allowed to check if he hit it or not?

[dan08]

Sunrisers have been robbed. DRS is not in place, so they can't check if Uthappa hit it.

The right decision was made but that's not the point...

KKR win by 17 runs

Dan rule change before tournament no drs but can check edges if called upon by umpires.
Guessing they added it so they don't look like idiots if catch taken but replays shown it wasn't out lol.

Oh okay. Looks like Warner and Moody weren't aware of that though!

many didn't know about it.
got to say Axar patel improved massively with the bat nice to see that, gives india options in the odi team although at present jadeja ahead of him, but you can never know with injuries and niggles.
these days I find niggles to be one of the main reason for bowlers drop in performances.

[Dr Cricket]

Delhi pretty much got an extra point now.
will most likely be ahead of anyone in the NRR aspect.

[The Professor]

Think Hyderabad are bowling Rashid Khan out too soon. Need to hold on to him for the death overs.

2 matches today

Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Lions at Mumbai
RCB vs Supergiant at Bengaluru

Mumbai is in form and is the top team along with KKR on points basis. Gujarat need a win, they are 7th ranked. Getting Andrew Tye and bringing back Big Mac + SMith as openers is the correct strategy which played some part in the win. But winning against Mumbai in Mumbai is a very big ask. Rohit needs to start scoring. Jos also hasn't given the returns expected from him.

RCB are at 6th. RCB should drop Gayle. He has become one match wonder. Watto is scoring more runs than Gayle, gives advantage of slip fielder and is also a relatively much faster fielder in outfield and will give some wickets with the ball.

RCB should drop Gayle. He has become one match wonder.

I've been saying this for about 3 years. The penny will drop eventually........ although he is quite clever about it, I suppose...... by producing something utterly remarkable once in every tournament, he has perpetuated the myth that he's a player worth spending the big bucks on, when the reality is that he's mostly just a waste of space.
