shakib ato chupchap keno ?
<br />Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Opera Mobile)

Yeah. In the first game he was all smiles. Since then he looked a bit isolated from others.

[nadim 98]

I bet no one was happy when bishla sent at 3. Done an amazing job. But that also means shak will bat at 7:(

Athar used the term way before Danny did trust me. That's the only achievement in Athar's commentating career.

Lol My word

The ball has gone soft from Bisla's attack

Yeah
What are the chances SRK will fall off the stand

[Habib]

I think Bisla was sent to keep the right left combination going. Had Gambhir been out instead of Kallis, we might have seen Shak sent early.

Nahh they would have sent out Bisla and told him to bat with his left hand instead

Don't be so sure. They might just send TenDo and Bhatia before him.

[Habib]

KKR is squandering such a solid platform. They should have sent someone who can get quick runs.

[mar umpire]

180 won't be enough, short boundaries and as ahnaf mentioned 2000won't be enough i reckon if gayle plays 10 overs.
Squandering their position for sure

Can't blame Shakib. He was sent in to bat at number 7. He should've been sent to bat at no.5. He needs time to get set before start hitting. Why can't the KKR understand that? :facepalm: :facepalm:

Not many balls left so he had to go for shots. He just needs to have more time to get settled before hitting.

Indeed. It will take one poor performance to drop a player from X country. If Shakib doesn't do anything extraordinary with the ball, he's a goner.

Shakib's IPL career shesh :( ... 160/170 is walk in the park for Gayle and co :( ... and bowlers can't do much against them..

and yes I can't blame Shak here.. he had to go for it given the run rate was falling ...

That's the thing. But the fans didn't help Shakib's cause by demanding Shakib to be picked. He was right under the radar from the beginning of the match because of this. They need to understand hyping a particular player just puts pressure on him. Otherwise not many people would even cared if Shakib did poorly today.

[PoorFan]

Though Shakib got 2 wicket, but poor bowling it was I say. And that dropped catch was a stunner.

[Navo]

^ Yeah, not a great bowling display. 3 wides is quite poor. He did have two wicket taking deliveries as well but I'm sure he's dissatisfied with his the way he bowled. But hopefully starting off with 2 wickets will give him more confidence in the future.

[zinatf]

Can't he drop a catch? He's not supposed to do his best everytime....u can't expect that from Tendulkar even......to score century all the time!!

We all should be happy that he got 2 wickets despite the pitch-friendly conditions....he gave 3 dot balls...

[Navo]

Dropped catch - swings and roundabouts. Ponting dropped a couple in the WI test match already, catches that he would never normally drop. Doesn't mean anything.

[zinatf]

Navo. No one does well good everyday regardless how good cricketer you are.

[Navo]

:confused: Zinat, that's exactly what I meant by swings and roundabouts. Such dropped catches don't mean anything if they don't happen regularly and especially if they don't have any consequence on the game. Tiwary didn't score that much after he was dropped

[zinatf]

Umm sorry Navo....got a little carried away. My bad :-p

[tiger_army]

I am a big fan of Shak but honestly it wasent his day though he got 2 wkts...His last wicket was a freebie, dropped one easy catch and batting wasent special one. Hopefully he et another game to shine. Now I will blame more to those desperate people who was keep begging for his inclusion in FB and CI...Funny those people are now claiming that KKR got their winning luck back because Shakib was in the team.. These kind of comments are very ridiculous and more embarrassing.

Agree.. It's just embarrassing..

Anyways Shakib should have played well today.. Now if he doesn't get matches I won't blame KKR .. Shakib looked pathetic today but I do understand that he was extremely nervous.. I hardly saw him smiling or pumped up in the the field.. I think he can clearly understand how his team rates him.. I didn't see him talking to anyone in the dugout since the last game.. I hate to see our iceman losing his confidence.. He is not used to such situation.. He is a hero in BD dressing room but here no one cares.. may be that's why he looked clueless at times.. it's not easy to perform when you are so low on your confidence... But Shakib should just remain the Shakib we know.. he has gone through even more tough time than this in his career and he came out strong in those situations. I said it once and will say it again Shakib has nothing to prove to anyone .. he should just concentrate in his game and keep it simple.. He shouldn't try hard to be a hero..

I just want this IPL to be over and want our boys to come back and wear the green jersey asap.. They look sooo comfortable in that jersey !!!:flag::flag:

[zsayeed]

However, having said that ... this could make him grow. A different type of adversity - but then adversity creates greatness. It is under these times that he has real potential for growth as it is a humbling experience and how he reacts will be key. Self belief is the one to foster.

[mufi_02]

^^ agree with oronnya apa. Any one can have a bad day. Gayle scored 2 off 8 balls today.

Its just one game ppl and that too its T20. If Dravid, Tendu, KP, Sanga can have a bad series, what's wrong with Shak having a bad T20 match?

[Navo]

It is under these times that he has real potential for growth as it is a humbling experience and how he reacts will be key. Self belief is the one to foster.

I absolutely agree. He'll come back all the tougher for it.

lol,it's funny to see all of a sudden KP & Mahela side by side.

Looks like KP- Mahela dancing well in Feroz Shah Kotla. DD seems found the best package of star batting performers togethers including Viru. IPL5 gonna be nice entertainment :)

[TigerEz]

good going from shakib anyway!

[oronnya]

Did anyone notice the weirdness of KKR's scorecard today???

Pathan- 1
Tiwary- 2
RTD- 3
Shakib- 4

and guess how many runs did the next one scored?? Yeah you guessed it right :)

Shukla - 5

As the events are mutually exclusive, and all things being equal, mathematically the odds are the same for scoring ANY random sequence of 5 scores. If you start getting pedantic, you can start bringing in the variables - like the pitch conditions, who was bowling, what did GG put in SAH's drink, etc...

Every entertainment in IPL comes with a sponsor. This is known as DLF Hero Honda Entertainment. My post is being sponsored by Ambuja Cement.
