Well done Tendo! dutchmeister!
Nice to see Tendo finally come to the IPL party. Looking forward to having him back at Essex.
He is such a calm player, loved his slide to complete that run.
That catch by Pollard. WOW.
The best catch I've ever seen.

RR might end up out of top 4 at this rate 
They have been lucky to get this many points in the first place. KKR gifted them 2 if not 4, then RCB choked as wellRR might end up out of top 4 at this rate
Just saw it. Amazing.
disagree. They're an awesome team. For some reason, they've decided to feck it all up by bringing in the worst foreign player in the IPL by sacrificing the pace attack leader position.
They were doing raelly well till the useless fecker Kevon Cooper came in.
Cooper playing is like Rajat Bhatia getting picked as a overseas player in Big Bash league.
Disagree on what? RCB choked to allow them to score 62 off last 4 overs. KKR lost 6 bloody wickets for 2 runs in 2 overs when they were 120 off for no loss and needed just 40 more runs or so. Even their earlier encounter, they needed something like 20 odd off last 3 overs and threw it away. That's 6 points, half of 12 RR have right now.
RR scoring 62 off 4 overs is or winning from 20 off 3 overs is part of the nature of the competition. If you were taking away points like that, every team would have gotten 30-40% of their points like that. There'll probably be no net effect.
He has played 3 matches, averages 18 with the bat and 35 with the ball with an economy of of 7.1. How is that doing 'alright'? By playing him, you upset the balance of who bowls at what part of the innings because you're dropping an out and out new ball bowler -- a balance that was working for them.
Rajat Bhatia does alright, but the point is that he wouldn't get picked up as an overseas player in a foreign league.
Looking at last season's stats for Cooper, 14 matches and a batting average of 9 and a bowling average of 24 with an economy of 8.3.
Comfortably the worst player to consistently play for absolutely no reason.
Bringing him in isn't the reason they have started to lose games which is what you implied. Hell, they only brought him in because the likes of Faulkner, Southie, Richardson were getting smashed. Faulkner has an economy rate of over 9 ffs.
Has there ever been a more entertaining team than KXIP?
I've never looked forward to IPL matches but watching Punjab bat is brilliant. They also give chances to loads of young indian players which is awesome. Vohra and Sandeep Sharma look fine prospects.

Also Sanju Samson has to be in our next squad. He's a brilliant wicketkeeper and has excellent batting talent.
They are great. They just keep on hitting no matter what the score. Pretty much everyone down to Johnson (when he plays) can smash the ball.
They're coached by Sanjay Bangar, who's the only indian coach in IPL this time around.
I loved the way how they dismantled Chennai.
He struggles against bowlers who move the ball..
Saw this in the U-19 WC as well..
Needs some time on A tours.
Disagree he looks fine against it. The only issue is that he gets out to silly shots but that'll come.
Does today's defeat mean there's pretty much no chance for RCB to progress??
They's need to win both games and hope one of RR and KKR lose both games. Even then its down to net run rate and i dont see them getting ahead of RR. KKR maybe.
dafuq has happened to Robin Uthappa?
I was able to catch the match on TV today. He is in fantastic knick. Eight consecutive 40+ score. India have so much dead-weight in their squad, I'll be surprised if he isn't in the next Indian squad.
Also, Narine is a monster of a bowler. Best T20 bowler in history.
Calcutta have both the purple cap, and oranje cap players. How exactly are they 4th? On form I am expecting Calcutta to win the tournament.
They basically had a very slow start and lost 4 in a row.
But now since then, they've promoted Uthappa to the top and given Shakib a regular role in the team. and that have been the two reasons along with Narine in their current upturn.
Warner playing an quality innings right now btw.
Knew this would happen, MI would go into the play-offs now.
Full toss on leg
Wide would not have been good enough as it wouldn't have been another ball (still 14.3 overs). Shastri and the rest are idiots.
Disgusted by this performance right now.
What the feck? Duckworth lewis is shit. Run rate should be calculated at the target
Terrible from Faulkner as well
Terrible from Faulkner as well
Unreal. No fecking idea what happened there!
I'm not surprised at all by this btw but i hoped the team was better than this, no fight at all to defend that total. Full toss, wides, wide bouncers fml
This wasn't Duckworth Lewis, just simple math.
Ridiculous and hilarious capitulation by Rajasthan Royals and I'm not just talking about tonight.
Ah well, Punjab for the title then, cmon Preity!!
Really angry right now not just because Rajasthan lost cause we would have lost against Chennai anyway but because MI went through, hate everyone on that team
How can you bowl so poorly? 2 full tosses out side the leg stump in the final over both of which were dispatched for sixes. And I shouldn't single out Faulkner, all but one of their bowlers were horrible.
I am glad Rajasthan went out. I maintain that they have been quite poor this IPL and even today there is no excuse to allow any side to score 190 off 14 overs. May be it was a fix. All those mindless experiments with batting order deserved this
Really angry right now not just because Rajasthan lost cause we would have lost against Chennai anyway but because MI went through, hate everyone on that team
I hate them mostly because they are owned by the Ambanis and have Harbhajan playing for them.
Unbelievable isn't it.
Yea I hope Kings XI win it!
