Why is One showing basketball? Makes no sense.
They were showing the netball before this.

Tbf the NBA Playoffs have been awesome, but this would be their biggest non-Warne game (Hayden vs. Gilly) so weird they're showing it on complete delay.

Haha was about to say, the odds for a Chennai shortened after Laxman's wicket, yet I reckon they did themselves no favours getting him out.

Still love you VVS, this just isn't your format :p

They don't.

And Smith's record in 20/20 is very good. Not sure what Briony has been smoking. Did she not watch Smith in last year's IPL?

As for this game, Gilly seems to have made a ****-up in bowling the part-timers for too many overs...

I've watched him this year, three innings, three bad failures, Warnie is on his back big time about how his top order woes are costing the Royals badly. Compare him with Gilly and Haydos. 'They're much more suited to this format. In SA the pitches seemed to have done more. The Aussie pair has prospered; he hasn't. The ball moving around does not seem to have bothered Gilly and Haydos but it obviously worries Smith. Another good showing from this pair today.

And strangely enough, Gibbs who has struggled when conditions have been tough in recent years, which has resulted in his place in the SA ODI team being questioned, and him being dropped from the test team, has also handled them better than Smith. Albertus has also been massively disappointing for his franchise.

Coming off a long, injury filled season. Don't blame him really.

DC have 113 off 12 overs. I look at the other game, and Australia have about as many in three times as many overs. :wacko:

Time for a complete strategic re-haul of 50-over cricket?

"Eight required off last over. Bala to bowl. Dhoni takes his pads off, Parthiv keeps. It almost seemed Dhoni might bowl"

Lol, that would have been awesome.
