Hope to see him back in Bangladesh playing in our leagues again.

[Night_wolf]

why isn't murali playing?

[mar umpire]

Great batting from Eoin Morgan. A great decision to promote him up the order -- it gives him the opportunity to show his true class.

Morgan is a good player, he has a good record, great t20 record but he has done nothing of note in 2 seasons of the IPL. If anyone should have been dropped it should have been him, a 28 after 15 matches isn't good enough. We've been seeing more crass than class to be honest, go Kochi hope Mccullum gives KKR a hiding, much rather have him than moggie

[Ajfar]

Anyone else tired of the IPL pumped with more and more unknown Indian players whom we can careless about?

I'm not. I watch T20 because I want to see someone raining boundaries. I don't care who's hitting them, as long as someone does. This season I'm more into IPL because of Shakib. I really hope KKR will end up in the top 3. I would loveto see Shakib play in the Champions League.

Morgan averages 12 in 11 IPl matches...

[mar umpire]

Morgan exceeds his average and scores a stunning 14, he really has outdone himself. Absolutely marvellous stuff. At a stunning strike rate of 100, he really is consistent. If he keeps this up he may be a contender for the "Dan Christian" of the tournament

[Sovik]

Kolkata is falling behind the RRR. Lee's last over may have cost them this game

[Night_wolf]

gomez on hattrick!

dont know how to rate morgan's innings..it certainly wasn't a match winning innings..but well played

[Sovik]

Kallis is too slow up the order. But Bret Lee's over cost KKR this game

[Night_wolf]

KKR still cant win 4 in a row

[Rifat_02]

Well now they cant blame shakib for this loss & drop him. Thats a positive

LOL..just LOL at KKR...this team's management is as stupid as they come...last time they chose a unknown Aus because of his country tag and that guy didn't do anything now they are picking boucher over shakib..bouchar cant even get into SA team now a days...pure unlogical team selection from KKR

PS:i dont know if shakib is still in dhaka or not..if he is then ignore my comment

[rubel_18]

Shakib is said to be back with the team for the next game against CSK according to the Official KKR Blog

Shakib is not with the team. So that's why he's not playing for KKR. There is an entire thread on it. You might wanna read that, before going around dropping the 'They are racist' bomb.

[Avik]

CSK game will tell us about KKR's true intentions with Shakib. you cannot just deny the fact that being a bangladeshi has cost shakib. lets see if he has done enough to ignore that.

[Dilscoop]

Morgan, a big fail

[Dilscoop]

Wow just checked the score.

Shewag! Damn

[dolcevita]

Kallis is a big fail , when you need to score 156 to win , a strike rate of 109 isn't good at all

He got them the start they needed. Most of the blame falls on Gambhir and the rest of the middle order and brett lee for that last over.
<br />Posted via BC Mobile Edition (iPhone)

[Banglatiger84]

I think the anti Kallis ppl have a point. A strike rate of 109 is ok, but when the bastman takes up almost 7 overs, i.e. 1/3rd of the total calls bowled, and you are chasing 160, its not good. In effect the other batsmen would have to score at a SR of ~145 for 13 overs to balance out the 109 SR for 7 overs.

[nadim 98]

F****...Gayleclone going on atm:clap:

97 from 44 balls...8 :four:'s & 9 :six:'s Still going...

Ya I would take Gayle over Sehwag in any format. No doubt both are good players but Gayle's great in all formats whereas Sehwag is great in just tests. Sehwag's been a disappointment in T20s/ODIs.

[Ajfar]

And he picked up 3 wickets!!


Again, seriously? This guy was unsold?? Stupid curri fools.

He went unsold because teams assumed he would be part of the WI Pak series, which he should have been. No one in the world would have thought Gayle would get dropped.

hope kkr lose this game

[Night_wolf]

KKR management is SOOOO STUPID...they cant give me any logical explanations of picking bouchar...last time it was Moses Henriques...i am not speaking in favor of mash or shak but whats up with this team selection?...if u dont want shakib because u think abdulllah and pathan are doing fine enough then pick Doeschate at least!..he is atm 100 times better than bouchar morons

Lets go chennai

[simon]

not surprised

[Zeeshan]

Iqbal gets a break.

[simon]

how many matches left for KKR btw?

[crikss]

the main reason Shakib is not in the team because Iqbal Abdulla is doing exceptionally well...and KKR is not Bangladeshi team that they will go with 2-3 SLA every match

[Rifat_02]

the main reason Shakib is not in the team because Iqbal Abdulla is doing exceptionally well...and KKR is not Bangladeshi team that they will go with 2-3 SLA every match

When they dropped shakib he had more wickets than abdullah. And besides if team combination was the case why did they buy shakib with abdullah & play him in 4 matches in a row? Or did they buy him as the backup spinner when someone is injured? Shakib is an allrounder & not only a spinner dont forget.

Edit- and such a turning pitch today & still they dont pick him. Tells a lot

CSK plays with two off spinners (ashwin & randiv) so whats the problem with 2 SLAs??<br />Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Opera Mobile)

Green was missing in the IPL color...glad to see it finally arrive

[Dilscoop]

Did someone from RCB spill bleach on their jersey during wash? That's exactly what it looks like. Is this their new kit? Or is that their new away kit? Cricket should start doing that, home-away kit. I know Ozs do it.

This colour is not permanent. Its for one match. I think its something related to saving environment. Forgot that news where Sid Mallya told reason.

Mumbai Indians Cheerleader Sacked for ‘Secret’ Diary


The Mumbai Indians are essentially assured of a place in the final stages of the Indian Premier League, but they will be without one of their cheerleaders, who was thrown out of the IPL after it emerged that she was writing a “saucy” blog for the Alternative Cricket Almanack.
Gabriella Pasqualotto has returned home to South Africa after it came to light that she was the writer of “The Secret Diary of an IPL Cheerleader (http://www.thealternativecricketalmanack.com/2011/04/the-secret-diary-of-an-ipl-cheerleader-part-ii/)”, in which she anonymously talks about her experiences in India and names some of cricket’s more party-loving and flirtatious characters.
“Usually only after day matches there is an exclusive after party and at night is when it all happens. The music pumps, the drinks flow and the cricketers come and go … the real fun happens in the VIP rooms where the players and night owls can cause scandal!” Ms. Pasqalotto wrote.
“The likes of Jonty Rhodes and Albie Morkel are notorious for having a good time with friends! ‘Ol Graeme Smith will flirt with anything while his girlfriend lurks behind him. The Aussies are fun but naughty, such as Aiden Blizzard and Dan Christian,” she says.
This is hardly Wikileaks—few people would be surprised to hear that some sportsmen are flirtatious or enjoy a night on the town. Rest easy, Julian Assange.
Ms. Pasqalotto continues; “By the end of a crazy evening, a certain someone had played kissing catchers with three girls known to me only, although he has his own girlfriend back home. He cooed to each girl, “Come home with me, I just want to cuddle!’”
This revelation of someone playing kissing catchers (whatever that is) and wanting a cuddle is as “outrageous” as Ms. Pasqalotto’s “secret” blog gets.
A Mumbai Indians spokesman declined to comment, while the IPL hasn’t yet spoken about the matter either.
During last season’s IPL, India Real Time attended an after-party in Delhi’s Maurya Hotel (http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2010/04/19/at-ipl-after-party-cheerleaders-grain-salesmen-and-marketers/), but there wasn’t any kiss catching or cuddles, and there wasn’t much evidence of players flirting and misbehaving that night.
Indian fans might be relieved to hear that national superstars like Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are less outgoing than their South African and Australian counterparts, according to Ms. Pasqualotto.
“The few Indian players we have met, such as M.S. Dhoni and Rohit Sharma have been very polite and keep to themselves in the dark corners. Hotshots like Tendulkar with families at home are never present,” she says.
But she paints a less flattering picture of the ordinary Indian man and woman.
“On our days off, we are free to explore and take in what India has to offer but its not always easy. You can just imagine, a group of fit, easy on the eye, western ladies cruising the congested busy streets…
“To the citizens, we are practically like walking ****! All eyes are on you all the time; it is complete voyeurism. The women double take, see you and then pretend you do not exist,” she wrote.
Still, certain cricketers are more of a threat, she concluded.
“I have come to realise that cricketers are the most loose and mischievious sportsmen I have come across. Makes me wonder if I should worry about them more then the commoners on the street! … Tip number 1: ‘Beware of the cricketers!’”
After being fired, Ms. Pasqualotto defended herself on Twitter (http://twitter.com//iplgirl) by saying that “what I wrote shouldn’t have been potentially harming to any relationships with agency or ipl. It was read too seriously” and that “it literally comes from my personal secret diary that I was sharing on my blog.”


The blog has been taken down unfortunately :D

8.3
Shakib Al Hasan to Ferguson, OUT, the ball of the century did not turn as much as this one did. This is some pitch! Three wickets to spin, and Pune continue to wobble. Shakib delivers it round-arm from wide of the crease, gets it to lands short of a length outside off as Ferguson advances. He's already fooled by the length, and he's about to be flabbergasted by the turn. The ball went away as if it doesn't agree with physics. Goswami does the rest. Ferguson won't ever comprehend what the ball did there.

12.2


Shakib Al Hasan to Ganguly, OUT, Shakib deserved Ganguly's scalp and there is some justice in the world. The Bangla tiger has nailed the Bengal tiger. Tame, tame dismissal. Loopy ball on off and breaking in, Ganguly looks to reach across and lap it around to the leg side, but slaps it straight to Yusuf at backward square leg. He did well to time his jump and haul it in.

Shakib has been very vocal in the field as well, and the camera has been following him as well due to his animated character. Really happy to see him bowl well today, easily the best bowler so far.

Why isn't Gambhir using Tendo... Why play him if you don't use him. He better bat at 2 or 3 otherwise I will be convinced that the KKR selectors are to intelligent...

And what if KKR have a brain freeze, and are 19-6 with shakib in there. He scores a century and KKR win. Who will be man of the match? Raqibul?

that's different case.....if it's 19-6...and shakib scored 20+ runs..but i'm talking about percentage of getting the man of the match

Well I'm not saying he will or won't, but it doesn't matter who gets interviewed. It's usually the best performer of the innings.

Ryder is such a F** a**...:autlaal::autlaal:

I know... Why is he picking on Tiwary, pick on someone your own size... Oh wait, he can't.

Dhur! Wicket pore na ken! Shakib er batting dekte chaii!

Well the last time we wanted shakib to bat in the IPL, I don't think its the best idea... I think let Pathan and GG finish it.

[kalpurush]

Dada got a catch!!!

[Banglaguy]

That was quite a good catch... Won't effect match.

[Sovik]

why was Bhatiya sent ahead of all the batsmen.

[Banglaguy]

why was Bhatiya sent ahead of all the batsmen.

Because he's indian, and Tendo is not.

LOL What's wrong with this guy? He couldn't score for his life in last few weeks, pissed us all off and now he just goes back and scores 150*. He's probably jet lagged too.

Same happened when he was first brought by RCB last season. He was on fire with the Eng team, and then he was a total failure in IPL. Seems to me that he can't handle the sub crowd. Grew up in Irl where no one even knows what cricket is, so ya....

Actually, in Ireland, cricket is starting to make headlines, like win over England + Netherlands.
And can handle sub-continental pressure, I think he is just thinking of hat to do with the money's he is earning.

[Dilscoop]

So you are saying IRL crowds at some IRL stadium = Crowds in Subcon?

Please don't start arguing, just because you want to...

And my comment wasn't even anything "seriously serious"

No bhai, I'm saying, people do know about cricket in Ireland know, no matter how little.
And I said that he can handle pressure here, i.e. Chittagong coming in 3 down for 50-odd.

If they play him, KKR doesn't deserve to win.

[Sovik]

Mumbai Indians and Kolkata are in trouble. If Kings 11 wins tomorrow and by big margin, one of them will be knocked out

[Ajfar]

I think Punjab is already ahead of Indians in terms of net runrate or very close. So if Punjab win they will move up to the 4th position in the point table. Even than Kolkata and Mumbai can still qualify depending on how the run rate situation plays out.

Morgan and SRK andWhatmore and Mr Gambhir probably have some deal going

[Baundule]

IPL is all about money. Most of the matches are fixed. Punjab winning today can make even the last match very good betting important.

[mar umpire]

I have the same suspicions as you, but I want punjab to win and KKR to go out still via a big loss to mumbai

[Banglaguy]

I want Deccan to win, only because they don't deserve to be bottom of the table.

[mar umpire]

Deccan are on track

[Banglaguy]

40-2...

[Banglaguy]

Amit Mishra got a Hat-trick... And now has his 4th wicket in 5 balls.

[Banglaguy]

DC win by 82 runs... Top 4 have qualified. KKR, CSK, RCB, MI.

KKR bats, same team. Maybe shak will get a hit. Hoping for a MOM frm him in last game at Eden. Full stadium

Because I know Shakib will bowl, I really want Ten Doeschate to have a bat.

[Sovik]

Don't know what Mumbai is doing, Symonds doesn't bat and Franklin doesn't get to bowl.

[Banglaguy]

I'm happy Ray Price is getting a game...
ITV is saying how classy Shakib is.

Shakib actually doesn't need to settle in. He scored 2 hundreds against ZIM comeing after 35. He takes his times in odi's usually just to steasy the ship
