Low fulltosses >> half-volleys TBH... it took a lot of skill to execute that shot. Not to mention they even picked up a couple of wickets with fulltosses.

Nah, one more over for Malinga would have got SA groping. 4-22-2 is bloody impressive as it gets. Unluckily he has only four overs, Others conceded 160 off 15.3 overs in a whopping RR of 10+!
) and four needless byes conceded off Malinga's bowling.

haha, hilarious! I love it when the star-studded IPL teams gets stuffed by a bunch of nobodies. A team of champions != a champion team, IPL ****s. O'Brien will no doubt be dining on Sachin's wicket for a very long time.
Loving the form Max/Mass opening partnership, both blokes in good touch too. SA selectors looking even more stupid for not picking Max all of last season. The guy is a top quality player no matter the form, FFS.
EDIT: As if to underscore how the SA team is full of nobodies, Cricinfo has Max on the front page but they're saying it's Harris.
EDIT2: Just watching highlights, notice Bailey is driving through the crease a lot harder these days. Bodes well for the coming FC season.

Ridiculous thing to say. He's there to provide some hitting power at the end of the knock from around 6 or 7 and bowl tight meds. Has one of the best yorkers in the country and is a decent field. The value of a contributor like that goes well beyond his stats.

There's definitely a big role for someone who bats at 6, or especially 7, to come in and get 20 off <12 balls. Crosthwaite used to be great at it for Victoria, and it's a difficult role because you come in with the death bowlers on, and the field completely spread so it makes it hard to find the boundary. Christian is good at doing that.
It's why it's not particularly relevant when people look at averages and 50s for guys who bat in that area, the only time that they'll be able to build an innings is when the team is up the creek.
