***Official*** IPL 2009

Days of Grace

International Captain
Great innings from Taylor. Unbelieveable strike-rate, really.

Hopefully it means that he can get more than 2 consecutive matches in the side. Both him and Ryder have not really been given many chances to get into the tournament. It's usually one chance, a 10 or 20, and out for the next two matches, whilst the "stars" from other countries get numerous chances.


Geez, Agarkar is just as rubbish as he was in the WC T20.

KKR really are pitiful.

Innings of the IPL for me, definitely. Why did KKR start playing baseball for the last four overs though?

McCullum = 84 off 64 balls
Taylor = 81 off 33 balls
Ryder = 22 off 20 balls

NZ = 187 off 117 balls

Not bad.

Just made a ton of money getting on Bangalore at $5!

I love you Ross!

Ishant lost the plot.

Agarkar's attitude was pathetic.

But why the **** was mid-off up with Ishant bowling full? Not sure if that was McCullum or Ishant's idea, but that was dumb.

agree, commentators were saying Ryder has had a terrible season... everytime I watch him he is only going for about 6-7 a over with the ball and picking up the odd wicket, not to shabby.

His bowling, which is generally really effective, often goes unnoticed because of his destructive batting. Since his batting has been relatively poor in this tournament (despite few chances really, considering how many the likes of Gibbs or Uthappa have had) his bowling exploits have taken a back seat when it comes to selection.

Probably because Sharma was bowling beamers that were getting plastered over square leg for 6. Good luck hitting a beamer over mid off!!! Ishant is at fault for not following the "bowl beamers" plan consistently.

a) this happened before the beamer
b) Yeah sorry, won't try talking about a NZ cricketer maybe making an error again.

Maybe it was because Taylor was hitting everything square, why not try something different. If Dhoni had done this it would of been called a brillant peice of captaincy.
