Taylor looking like just what Bangalore needed, with Dravid striking at 100 on the other end.

And as I type Dravid goes out

 

[ret]

Ooops dravid departs .... should have continued playing and pushing the RRR to over 10

meanwhile dangerman taylor continues

PS dangerman taylor gone

 

[Cevno]

I like the look of kohli.
He has that ricky ponting,herschelle gibbs,Yuvraj singh type of swagger about him.

 

[ret]

Kohli is looking good .... i would be tempted to bring seamers in when the domestic players are in the middle and spinners when some of the overseas players

 

[silentstriker]

Kohli gone.

 

[ret]

MI need to pick up Boucher

 

[silentstriker]

Show 'em what you can do Jacques!

 

[Protean]

SA starring tonight! 11 needed from 12 now.

 

[silentstriker]

Go Bangalore, show people that class > slog even in this format.

 

[ret]

Boucher brings the challengers close ....just 11 to get of 12 .... what an inning by Boucher

 

[unccricket]

ashish nehra is terrible

 

[ret]

haha kallis trying to do a boucher .... falls flat

 

[silentstriker]

This Nayar bloke sure can catch.

 

[silentstriker]

A fantastic win by Bangalore!

Haha, it will give me unending satisfaction forever if Bangalore go on to win this tournament. Excellent stuff - great job Kallis and Dravid. Bangalore chased down 160+ today. If they do badly in this tournament, it'll be because of their bowling, not their exceptional batting.

 

[ret]

Excellent stuff - great job Kallis and Dravid. .

only if they had batted together .... nice work by Taylor, Kohli and Boucher

 

[Manee]

Mumbai Indians lose thanks to some of the worst selection in the history of cricket.

 

[silentstriker]

only if they had batted together .... nice work by Taylor, Kohli and Boucher

Haha, nice try.

 

[Protean]

YES! Go Challengers! Loved it, Taylor, Chanderpaul, Kohli, Dravid, Kallis and Boucher all noteworthy in the batting along with Khan and Akhil in the bowling.

Pity Polly had to be on the losing side though.

 

[ret]

A lucky win for B'lore .... they had to play out of the skins to beat MI who were w/o some of their key players .... though this MI side could have beaten B'lore, if Pollock had got to play a few more balls

MI can take heart from this and the fact that they would get strengthened with the availability of Tendulkar, Loots and Bravo .... they need to improve their bowling, it's obvious that they failed to pick up some of the good bowlers from the domestics

next game

B'lore MI

Tendulkar, Jayasuriua, Loots/Ronchi, Uthappa, Pollock and Bravo would be a cool line up

 

[jeevan]

Good to see domestic performers like Nayar, Akhil & Virat kohli do their bits along side class acts like Kallis, Pollock & Boucher. Usually even the Indian stars like Tendulkar only make guest appearances in the domestic circuit.

IPL will raise the confidence and quality of Indian domestic players, one feels and hopes.
