**Official* IPL 2016

"the dog is doing the champion dance"

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dog running onto the field before the last ball being bowled was so good

It's the exact same dog which invaded the pitch in the previous game too.

Loved the ****-eating grin on it's face. It definitely knew what it was doing... perfect time to run on to the field.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I appreciate that no one here has yet referred to the dog as Tommy.

(no, Daemon, don't even think about it )

Munro tried to take on Hooda and like everyone who has tried this previously failed miserably.

Don't **** with the GOAT bald Kiwi

 

[Jono]

Ojha ffs

 

[Jono]

I'd drop him after that. That's just as bad as it gets

 

[Niall]

Ojha ffs

Shambles of an innings.

If Kane wants to prove himself as an IPL player this is as good time as any.

 

[Niall]

I'd drop him after that. That's just as bad as it gets

I'd check his bank balance

Seriously though, he has form for rotten innings like that sadly.

 

[The_roc]

SRH going down the pan. What is it with Indians and run outs?

Yuvi turns down a single when it is Willi's call, gets out the next ball. Then Hooda goes walk about. What a shambles.

 

[Niall]

Lads please don't complain when Kane is not picked in the IPL, he adds absolute **** all to this side.

 

[Jono]

Jeez Kane didn't fire a shot.

What a pathetic batting performance from this lot other than Dhawan.

Drop Ojha for good and either bat Kane up the order or don't bother with him. Just horrendous strategy batting him there.

Kane has had his chances, they have enough players who can bat cautiously at the top and lower he goes the more pointless he is, I genuinely would rather Cutting at the death rather than him especially as Fizzy has been a little dodgy recently. Morgan or Cutting instead please.

Dunno what you can do with Ojha really, that was a shambles of an innings.

I think overall they probably have done betetr than they should have when you consider how insanely reliant they are on Warner.

 

[Daemon]

Lol at how this batting order turned out for SMH. Dhawan and KW were scoring too slowly at the top so KW gets sent down the order because Eoin Morgan is not a thing. Dhawan ends up scoring a 50 @ 170, Warner the uber consistent run machine fails and KW's replacement at 3 has an absolute shocker. To add insult to injury KW fails down the order as well.

 

[burr]

God I hate Chris Gayle. I celebrate every failure, however minor.

 

[Niall]

Negi you da man.

 

[Niall]

Bangalore have had this game in the bag for a bit, but QDK out to a blatant no ballreally leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Does come across as one of those in doubt give the decision to the bigger team type calls.

 

[honestbharani]

Did not see this one but the rule is slightly different in these cases. IF the on field umpire does not call a no ball and it is being referred because it was a dismissal, then the benefit of the doubt goes to the bowler. Which means usually, in these cases, the line belongs to the bowler. It is messed up, but they have been pretty consistent in upholding this rule all season from what I have seen.

 

[Stapel]

Quinton de Kock played a proper match sinking innings. Consuming half of the balls available for for just over a run-a-ball is a pretty sure way to lose in this format at this ground. Might I even sugest that if his wicket was reversed for overstepping, DD would have ended with fewer runs, as Chris Morris wouldn't have had a go.

 

[Pratters]

Chris Morris is no Allan Donald.

Not ideal really, but their batting line up has been a mess for most of the season.

I like Dravid, but its a concern with this side and Rajasthan when he was in charge, he was guilty of chopping and changing too much.
