*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

[Scaly piscine]

Heh @ timeout with 4 overs left. Hilarious.

 

[SJS]

Always plays like this, if he fires he ends up with a good innings... if he holes out you're screwed.

He suddenly has 13 from last five balls. He had 16 from 26 before that. If he got out at that stage.... well... as you say...

 

[Edged&Taken]

another strategy break at 16 ? wtf

 

[Jono]

I haven't read about changes, why is there two time outs?

 

[NasserFan207]

Surely they should only need one of these?

Its not like the strategy is incredibly complicated for either side right now.

 

[Jono]

Carn Kolkata, make a game here!

 

[GGG]

So they can have more ads obviously.

Mr Modi is ridiculous. What do we expect from him

I think it serves us right for letting people like him run the game. Anyone who did not know what Modi was in it for has to...well...

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Much better from Shah the last few overs.

As I say that he plays another great shot!

 

[King Pietersen]

Pathetic that they've opted for 2 strategic time-outs during a T20 innings. What's wrong with getting 22 cricketers on the field and watching them play a game of T20 cricket without 'strategic' breaks, gimmicks and 3 hours of adverts?

I think I'm going to stop watching these games live and Sky + them so I can skip these un-necessary breaks.

Heh, it's not like they're not allowed to talk tactics between balls and overs anyway. I love the IPL so much.

 

[Jarquis]

Some good hitting here.

Edit : Am I the only one who feels Vaas should've at least bowled 3 overs at the beginning? He was bowling well and could've easily picked up another wicket.

Why even one?

And what strategy are we talking of? Can't we see the name "strategic time-out" is Modi's way of telling us what he thinks is between the fans' ears?

Wait, the IPL is about the cricket?

 

[Nate]

Meh, if it bothers you, start an 'IPL complaint' thread.

Vaas travels in that over. KKR aiming for 150 minimum, surely.

 

[Migara]

Vaas getting carted

 

[Jono]

Awesome partnership.

 

[Sanz]

**** off WPUJC Vaas

Lol. I guess I was comparing it to like a half-time in soccer, but yeah it is pretty ridiculous in a cricket match.

 

[King Pietersen]

Fair point.

Shah and Mathews have been excellent. Hopefully Shah'll retain his place in the side when the big stars arrive.
