yep, 2nd team in RR after DD who are just horribly shite
It's Samson. He's an excellent prospect IMO.
Just look at the two sixes of Murali Kartik's bowling.

Some nice shots. Will reserve judgment till I see a full innings.
Reminds me of Unmukt Chand.
The backlift's exactly like Chand's and the shot at 00:30 is something I've seen Chand play.

I think Sreesanth is not playing because i remember Dravid had said he needs his rest, as he's just returned from an injury.
And Sanju Samson does look a very promising prospect. Plus he's only 18. Rajasthan's batting was very classy today. Dravid sure must be having an influence in the nets.

We keep producing batsmen. Where are the bowlers?
Just watching one of the best T20 innings ever.
South Africans where the feck has Miller been?
Still can't believe that innings. I'm amazed.
Strangely enough, reminds me of Duminy in that he hits the ball so unbelievably cleanly
Kohli 
He needs more of such humbling moments, all this recent hype has gone to his head. I love his aggressiveness but much of it now seems to be just for the show, to maintain that persona. He is no where near ready to be a captain yet.
Miller is gonna cash in big in next year's auction, that is if Punjab don't throw money at him in the first place to retain him.

Saffers middle order is incredible.

Ah yes. Love Kohli and will go on to become one of the greats but this should do him a world of food going into the future.
Aren't KXIP broke or something?
They don't have as much money as the big franchises but they can afford to throw a million at couple of big talents.
Miller always looked a good prospect.
Ackerman thinks he is a test quality player.
SA have some serious batsmen coming up. Ingram, faf, miller, duminy. Scarily good.

Top quality innings yesterday from Miller.
A 42 yr old who hasn't played any first class cricket is making his debut for RR.
Kirsten isn't renewing his contract. He will finish with SA in August. I hope this doesn't have too much of an impact on our test side.
Very surprised by that decision. I would have thought he would have carried on until at least the World Cup, especially given the quality of the team. Any reason why he's not renewing?
Family reasons apparently. He has a young family and would like to spend more time with them. He really has done well with SA and pushed over that little barrier that was holding us back.
20th anniversary today:
English people, how highly is Jamie Overton rated there?
Two things.
The news stories around Ashraful's confession suggests that this entire match was fixed:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-premier-league-2013/engine/match/599888.html
That Dhaka's owners wanted them to lose the match.
How could it be thrown without the involvement of the foreign players?
Owais Shah, Darren Stevens and the Sri Lankan with the complicated name.

Warner being a twat again.
Yep, thinking it was a good idea to land one of the chin of Joe Root (allegedly)
Guy doesn't seem to be all the ticket
Guy doesn't seem to be all the ticket
I wonder why Warner picked out Root instead of Finn or Broad? What a fecking idiot.
Cause he's got the fecking most chinnable face in the history of cricket.
Michael Vaughn chiming in with his gobshite. Jesus christ mate take your nude urn shots and dive into a trash compactor.

I do wish Vaughan would keep scthum now and again. He was a brilliant captain.
Vaughan is a wind up merchant. It works but it does tarnish his reputation of being a quality captain a bit.
Warner is a twat though, probably one of those who likes a barney when he's had a few. There was no way he was going to have a throw at Broad or Finn though, he doesn't have enough credit.

Really?
Guess you have a different definition of 'chinnable' than I do.
Broad has the most punchable face in the England team by a mile, but even he pales in comparison to the likes of Brett Lee, who was in a completely different league.
Root looks annoying and behaves like a twat.
The cnut could bowl fast though. You'd not even want to try and chin him.
I guess Broad could be reserved for a one two punch in there with old mate Root.
Ricky Ponting says hello
Is that Allan Lamb with him?
In the county championship, Essex managed to lose by an innings and 105 runs after they were bowled out for a grand total of 20 in their second innings
Dhoni is a fecking genius. Brilliant player.
fecking Dhoni, he does this on purpose I reckon. Went from needing 27 off 42 to 15 off 6, then he gets it all off 3 balls.
