Watched some of the highlights this morning while having breakfast. Did not watch the whole thing - seems to have been a cracker of a game! Also, yes, nice to see Balaji back (always rated him) but has he changed his action a little? From recollection, I think he may have.Balaji a bowler who is bowling to his field. Apart from that shocker from Badri in the field he hasn't looked like conceding a boundary in his first couple of overs. Encouraging start from him.
Haha! Yeah! I wonder if he jabbers away in Tamil to the rest of the Tamil lads. Be a bit of a change for him from talking in Singhalese in the Sri Lankan side.Don't forget Muralitharan.
HAHAHAHAH! Aakash Chopra opening in a 16 over per side game.
That's hilarious. Love your work Chopra. Leave everything outside off!
We were losing early wickets in our earlier matches and wanted to ensure as much safety at the top of the order as possible. Not that we managed to do it any way.Haha.
Ganguly's a wanker for not opening in a 16 per over match. Seriously.
Btw Kallis not playing this match.
It was definitely a poor display by him today. He needs to show that he deserves his place as a batsman, not that he will be dropped by KKR as we both know.Dont know what Ganguly is doing in this series. His batting average and Strike rate both one of the worst(if not the worst) in the tournament among those who have played 5+ games. Even VVS and Jaffer have better average and strike rate than him.
Code:Name Batting Avg. SR Ganguly 16.57 88.54 VVS 31 117.42 Jaffer 22 111. 11
Bangalore really missed a beat by having White bat so low and not selecting White for the earlier games. They looked like a test side till White came into bat.Bangalore aren't looking good at all here.
Surprised White and Boucher aren't the other way round... Boucher at 5 and White at 3. Isn't that more like their normal positions?
Haha, yeah. Exactly what I was thinking.Don't know why Ganguly is celebrating so much at getting Dravid out... seems that KKR would have done better with Dravid in there, not White!
Kolkata have played Ganguly, W. Saha, A.Dinda, D. Das and Shukla before and they are all Bengal players.Wow, Chennai playing with five Tamil players in their team (Karthik, Vidyut, Badrinath,Amarnath and Balaji). Must be the highest number of pure "locals" so far for any one team?
CSK had 6 local players (including Murali) and 7 if you include Dhoni.Kolkata have played Ganguly, W. Saha, A.Dinda, D. Das and Shukla before and they are all Bengal players.
What a crock of ****.Indeed Pratyush.
Stoked with that win to be honest. Ganguly you are simply amazing. What a legend. IMO he is the greatest ever, shut your faces if you think otherwise. How good was that bowling, like **** you Dravid, in your face. Masterful strokeplay from Boucher was simply not good enough with Ganguly's masterpiece bowling, like simply a match winner, whether its with the bat, ball or on the field as a captain. Ganguly
To understand that you need to know some recent history involving Ganguly, Dravid and someone called Greg Chappell...Don't know why Ganguly is celebrating so much at getting Dravid out... seems that KKR would have done better with Dravid in there, not White!
Not ridiculous...but superb...(not in test match though)Ganguly 3 overs for 7
That is simply ridiculous in any form of the game
Rahul - this is not a freakin' test match
Look at the players not the CEO
