Not that I care too much about the games but on the last few Delhi Daredevils scorecards i've seen Vettori has been left out, either he is injured, which is a big problem for NZ, or the Daredevils are ******** and have left out the best T20 bowler in the world. Which is it? Hopefully the latter.

Actually they are managing pretty well without Vettori. The reason though is Sehwag is injured and they need an attacking opener to replace him. So Warner comes in Vettori goes out.

Thank god he isn't injured.

Lets hope they leave him on the sidelines, less chance of injury before proper cricket starts up again.

Watched my second ipl game last night. They have a "strategic break"? What a ****ing joke. Surely the only strategy to discuss is that there are an awful lot of horrible bowlers playing in this tournament. It's a wonder they can bowl over arm.
Found Warne's team's batting funny to watch, largely because of the ******** nature of the bowling. It was like a train wreck - you shouldn't watch, but can't look away. Just when I was getting tired and thought about bed, along comes Yuvraj. He is a great entertainer - it's always amusing to watch someone pretend to care about something.

You just watched a **** match tbh.

Its fine hating the IPL, its not everyone's cup of tea. Just reckon you're judging it on a poor game.

If I got a non-cricket fan friend to watch any of the 2nd - 5th test matches between WI and England they'd have killed me.

Ha ha - that's true.

Tend to forget it's a domestic comp I guess. I nearly threw up though when they went to what I thought was a drink break only to have it called a strategy break.

Well I think we all know the "cricket" (if it can really be called that) takes a backseat to anything which looks like it will make a quick buck.

Been a lot of talk about it. Its obviously for advertising revenue, which is disgraceful, but it has significantly impacted the games.

A batsman was almost always going out in the 11th over, and then when they realised they were going out in the 11th over, batsmen started to play more cautiously right after the break.

Maybe they should allow a couple of specialist fielders on the ground? It's not ideal, but the current levels of fielding are really hurting the game.

Good to see Brendon McCullum make some runs finally, hopefully he gets abit form before the IPL finishes.

van Wyk should be in the playing XI ahead of McCullum with the dire form McCullum is in. We shouldn't be playing two keepers. McCullum should have stepped down and let another foreign player play. If there was need for Kolkata Knight Riders captaincy change it is now.

There fielding is just so bad, probaly doesn't help when most of there team aren't even good enough to play domestic cricket. And I know they do, but you couldn't tell.

So who should they play.............?

Who cares if they can both keep, McCullum is one of the best 20/20 players in the world. He deserves to be there, it's not like Kolkata have anyone better.
