Wow, Chawla gets smashed for like 16+ off that over, and then on the last ball Sanga stuffs up a stumping off him.

Just not your tournament young Chawla. Go back and learn to bowl.

Good to hear. He is a very good bowler when he bowls at that speed - although the speed may be an indication of him being in good rhythm rather than the speed causing him to bowl well. It would seem that a few were slipping out as full tosses, but that was likely due to the dew:).

Jadeja batting well. It is a shame that Warne does not realise that he is a bowler by trade otherwise he could have made an impact with ball as well as bat.

PS: The bad boy of Cricket Star is an AWFUL bowler. How did he get into the RR team?

What a ****ty disappointment Punjab have been. Two games in a row they've bowled like crap.

Taking 3 wickets for chips was not good? :blink:

Fantastic innings here by Watson, good to see him staying there till the end and finishing the job. I hate it when batsmen do all the hard work and get out within sight of the total. Also good to see Jadeja providing support at the other end.

Said it before and I'll say it again - best young bat in the world is Watson

Injuries aside, he'll captain Oz and play 100 tests

BTW, this is not based on the IPL, it's based on technique and talent.

Forget the bowling (it's a bonus), this guy can play

I love Watson but what makes you think he'd be a good captain? I really can't see it.

Who is a better bowler than Brett Lee atm? Murali hasn't done too much in ODIs for a while.
No *you* have to justify why someone who's only just scraped his Test average fractionally below 30 is the best bowler in the world at the moment, the burden of proof lies with you not me.

Lee's scraped a few good Tests together in favourable conditions and against batsmen who've a weakness against that combination. So what? Season before last he was average, season before that... average. He's not in the top 3 of either bowler rankings either.

Bowlers tend to let them go a bit more when they know they only have to bowl 4 overs as well.

He was talking about ODIs though, from what I can gather. I certainly took it that way at the time.

"School of hard knocks" - he's really had to work for his chance

Basically, it's gut feel!

He's been earmarked as an OZ player for a long time and has suffered from injuries at every turn.

Australia won't ne no.1 forever and eventually they'll turn to him and I believe he'll succeed - nothing more
