RR breaks DD's winning run ..... Pathan Sr wins another game for RR, what a match-winner he is. can't imagine a T20/ODI team w/o him

My English has deteriorated pretty badly living in Singapore - can't imagine what it's like in PRC.
Pretty bad also, as usually my contact is always with people who speak English as a foreign language. And when I am in my home (city), I can go days without speaking English or having meaningful conservation. Going clubbing in Guangdong, you get Westerners or natives from Hong Kong (over for some cheap shopping) but it’s not really the time and place to reacquaint yourself with English.

Saw the highlights, the sixes were monster hits .... Smith hugged Pathan straight away after Pathan hit those winning runs. it's nice to see such bonding

Looks like Mallya has been embaressed enough by his F1 team so he decided to make the journey here. He's probably loving these Praveen half volleys to Gayle.

Bangalore.

Nice to see Brad Hodge starting to open up abit in this innings. He's looked far too defensive in this tournament so far, which for a top T20 player like him has been disappointing. Hopefully he'll make himself a big innings!

Anil Kumble is an absolute legend. Just an awesome player and the way he's adjusted his bowling to Twenty20 cricket is superb. Kumble and Dravid are the only reasons to support Bangalore.

Amazed Bangalore couldn't find a place in their lineup for either Ryder or Ross Taylor in this game -let alone both

Good to see van der Merwe in. Given what he brings to the side with ball, bat and in the field, he should have been one of the first names on the sheet.

Surprised to see van Wyk in. Good 20/20 player but he opens domestically in limited overs cricket and doesn't have a rep of being a top player of spin. McCullum is also very good finisher so maybe he could slot down to 5 if Morne is playing.

Not the greatest of moves to drop Mendis. Had 10 overs of spin so far and only into the 14th over.

Top last over from van der Merwe.

Well played from Morne as well, got his side at least someting to bowl at.
