And he goes again.... 50 of 34. T20 has another superstar in the block....gets out trying it again

I see Levi being the South African version of David Warner and should be playing all forms of the game.

MohammedC · #28 April 4, 2012, 12:01 PM

Rohit sharma got a nutt cracker of a delivery from Bollinger

Navo · #29 April 4, 2012, 12:13 PM

Levi is strong on the on-side but he definitely seems to have weaknesses in his off-side play which good bowlers will exploit.

Navo · #30 April 4, 2012, 12:16 PM

Also, what do you guys think of these gloves that match the color of the jerseys? might be the traditionalist in me but i'm still used to seeing white gloves.

I was thinking of the same thing but then remembered the match 1 off T20 match against India and he played some impressive off side shots as well. So I believe the guy is a good all round player. Yes, he's a work in progress but definitely has raw talent.

It actually makes it better for Keepers and umpires visibility if the white ball is nearer to the gloves.

Navo · #33 April 4, 2012, 12:23 PM

Yeah, raw talent for sure. I already like him more than Watson (haha) though they both seem to be from the mould of the 'muscly batsman'. I wouldn't judge the quality of batsman from their stroke-play against current indian bowlers haha

CSK's fielding has also been sloppy. It's a strange fielding team. It has Du Plessis, D Bravo, Hussey and Bollinger who are all good fielders but it also has some comically inept fielders.

Oh ya, remember this?

Navo · #36 April 4, 2012, 12:39 PM

Hah! That's exactly what I had in mind when I said they have some comically inept fielders. And this is what I meant by them having some good fielders as well:

BPL is so much more exciting than this!

Way to get that kid banned Zinatf.

I'm guessing we will be talking about KKR's game here?

SG is not even a factor for me....it's TI & Shak.... SG is a factor for WB spectators .... If he is playing against KKR.

How is the ground's draining system?

BANFAN · #41 April 5, 2012, 10:16 AM

Where has the match thread gone.....?

Fairly poor..... Today's match may be abandoned all together

I'm entertaining myself by reading Kolikata Bengali names on CI.

Players out in the middle, playing football. That is a sport which is played under rain and snow, so that can barely be a huge indicator.

If they must call off the game, they should replace with a soccer match. You can't disappoint a packed house. Is it packed really? That's what I read on CI.

Navo · #46 April 5, 2012, 11:36 AM

The video feed indicates that it isn't literally packed (as Eden gardens sometimes is when India is playing) but there are a good number of people in the stadium. Indiatimes is streaming the camera feed of the stadium and you can see Lee, Kallis and Marchant de Lange going through their paces.
