***Official*** IPL 2009

Oram gets Taylor! What a twist!

5 from 5 needed.

 

[Pratters]

Taylor didn't need to go for that shot either, one could argue. They needed just 5 from 6 balls. Very close game now with 2 wickets remaining.

 

[_Ed_]

OK, now that Taylor's gone I want Oram to win this for Chennai.

 

[Jono]

Cricbuzz saying Dhoni brought in the onside fielders into the circle for Taylor.

Gutsy move. Could have been a disaster if Taylor got on to it, but instead he went to go legside when it wasn't there, and is now out.

 

[Pratters]

Very ordinary throw indeed.

 

[Jono]

This is where a Malinga or Edwards would be handy, rather than Oram.

Yeah.

 

[Pratters]

and game over.

 

[Jono]

Balaji's such a tool, but at least Bangalore are still alive

Well batted Taylor and Kohli.

Well bowled Kallis and Kumble.

 

[Howsie]

Superover?

No

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Some good death balling from Oram. If only for some better fielding and Chennai could have pulled it off.

 

[Jono]

Wonder what Balaji's IPL career stats are.

Chennai seriously need another gun bowler.

 

[Jono]

Wonder what would have happened if Balaji stopped that ball, the batsmen were not running on that occasion, now that was an interesting thing. Ohh, Balaji, what have you done? No more smiles for him, I am sure.

The funny thing is that Vinay Kumar celebrated immediately after hitting the winning shot. Then he realised that the ball did not travel to the boundary and started running. Even in the RCB dugout the players were not sure whether the ball crossed the fence or not.


Lol, if Balaji had stopped the ball and thrown it in, they would have needed 2 from 2.

Wonder what Balaji's IPL career stats are.

They're actually pretty good. High economy rate, but he takes a lot of wickets.

Fantastic game really, and a really good pitch. Nice to see Bangalore still in contention of making the finals.

 

[pasag]

Taylor's a champ

Doing so much better than last season. Beating Chennai is a serious achievement.

Taylor, or the team?

 

[alternative]

Exteremely happy to see Bangalore win that game. OH yeh great prediction i had too.

 

[honestbharani]

The bowlers won this for RCB...



Juz had this feeling that Chennai would stuff up

 

[Uppercut]

Getting on Rajasthan at 6/5 for this one. Big toss to win and i fancy them to hit some decent form today. We'll see.

Hopefully One show this second one live. Reckon they will.
