IPL 2016

Whats more amazing is that there has been 27 dot balls this innings. Which means they have reached 200 in like 10 overs.
 
Wow kohli!! Watching first IPL match this season.. What a player
 
It's a joke what he's doing. fecking joke.
 
Obviously how good RCB's top order is is unusual, but I think Daniel Vetorri deserves an awful lot of credit for the freedom these guys go out and play with. Too many coaches would shackle them with talk of par scores and playing the pitch. RCB are exposing the overly conservative nature of most sides batting first.

tbf they don't have any choice in the last three matches. They had to win, and hence the ultra aggressive approach.

Don't have the bowling to play any other way either.

feck me that was carnage! Joy to watch when this top order pulls it off
 
Thank God, the T20 draft was played before IPL, else @MJJ would have won by just drafting Kohli

Yeah they've been forced into it to an extent but either way it's great to see talented players given the freedom to go out and play their shots.
 
This game is as good as over. The fight for the last two playoff spots is interesting. DD, RCB, MI and GL all vying for two spots.
 
Just saw Nehra is out for the rest of the tournament - that's a huge and potentially decisive loss for Hyderabad. Obviously Kumar and Mustafiz have been getting a lot of the press, but in the admittedly few matches I've watched...Nehra did very well.
 
Is Brathwaite the son of Ian Bishop? The arse licking every time this guy plays is getting unbearable.
 
David Warner has had an absolute shocker in the field. Probably one of the worst fielding performances I have seen.
 
Warner :lol: Maybe harsh to say he cost them the game, but he certainly screwed up far too many times
 
DD should drop Duminy and pick Billings in the team. Duminy has done feck all with the bat.
 
So if SRH win RCB are through barring a calamitous loss.

A) SRH win. RCB through but finish 3rd or 4th.

B) KKR win. RCB have to win but finish 2nd with a win.

I think RCB will much rather prefer B. They'll back themselves to beat DD and the reward will be a double elimination in the playoffs.
 
Shikar Dhawan ironically getting out when playing really well because Nahman Ohja was playing a Shikar Dhawan esque knock at the other end.
 
'Both set batsmen are out. [...] Ohja didn't look comfortable out there.'

Was he really set if he didn't look comfortable?
 
:lol:

Love how the commentators reckon he threw it in pain and not anger at Dwivedi being out twice to Jordan in two balls before that.
 
This umpire is costing RCB the game. Thats 25 runs and a wicket he's gifted GL.
 
That's the sort of LBW decision that never would have been given twenty years ago.
