That last over was stupid. Shakib refusing to accept Chawla's sacrifice and get the strike (chawla was run our anyway) and then the umpire deciding it wasn't a wide because Shakib tried to scoop (what?). Should be game to KKR but I'm not going to cry about a super over.
Kane Richardson's facial hair is a shocking effort btw.

Shakib would of been run out if he went for the 2nd, it went to the keepers end. Shakib went across his stumps thats why the umpire didn't call it wide, it could of gone either way.

In a round robin too. No need for a tie-breaker, let alone one as ridiculous as boundaries scored.

I think Rahane would have been slotted in next. Whom do you think should have come in? Faulkner?

i think he's making a joke about RR's absurd batting order

Talking of RR's batting order, how would this work out? Watson and Rahane opening, followed by Hodge, Binny, Faulkner/Cooper, Karun Nair and Samson? Two blokes (Rahane, Hodge) to hold an end up or rotate strike, four (Watson, Hodge, Faulkner/Cooper and Binny) in the top five who can score very quickly, and some support from the Ranji performers lower down. This may, however, result in a bowling unit of Faulkner/Cooper, Southee, Watson, Tambe, Iqbal and Binny. Looks much better than what they're fielding, with seven bowling options that don't help.
Mumbai may play Ben Dunk ahead of Mike Hussey, in very poor form. I'm not sure both Keiron and Corey should be playing- on form, neither. They can, instead, play some local Indian players, and beef up the bowling by fitting in Santokie alongside Malinga. In fact, all of their top bowlers, beyond Malinga, have had a dreadful run- two wickets for Harbhajan, three for Zaheer, and a single for Pragyan- one of them should make way for Pawan Suyal, who's decently fast and can get some wickets, which are missing from the column here. They also have in their ranks Karnataka's young leggie Gopal, who's had a very productive debut FC season, so more wickets for them. These two (or at least Suyal, because Pragyan may be a much better bowler in India) have to figure once they get back to India.
