Vinay Kumar being reassuringly **** as always. He and Dinda are IPL last over punching bags.

Hate Dinesh Karthik's captaincy. Kuldeep didn't get 4 overs. Hope Vinay Kumar is dropped for good now.

You do realise there was a lot of dew, don't you? Only spinner who could bowl later on was Narine and he did give Narine a bowl.

Dinda would have been a far better option than Vinay Kumar for KKR. He knows Eden where KKR plays half their games. Also, he has bowled really well in domestic cricket last two years.

11 sixes :laugh:

well played druggie
It was an absolutely crazy inning to watch. Such easy hittings. Any thing he touched went for a six. Like god mode in a video game. Also mixed emotions, how much credit do I give him, and how much to his drugs?

Very impressed with Sam Billings today..despite him hitting the winning runs, Jadeja should be dropped as he is ineffective with the ball and almost lost the game for his team by trying to feed his own ego..

Not much IMO. Does it possibly help with his power? maybe, a tiny bit. But he's a strong af guy regardless if he's had a bit of help.

More interesting would be how is he allowed to play if there are doubts over him? Though I certainly haven't been keeping up with the news so I don't know if he was actually cleared or there is still doubt.

Seems IPL can overcome all sorts of obstacles to get the best to play, drugs, chucking, doesn't matter. As long as it isn't ball tampering . . .

Why are these banned at an IPL match,

I do not really understand the story to be honest,

India IPL cricket: Anger at ban on banners and bags at Chennai game - BBC News
There is a huge revolt currently going on in Chennai over a river not being released from another state. Many political parties have threatened to disrupt the game and hence, the security. The ban is for political flags and banners plus any other threatening items. One group had mentioned to wear all black as a measure of protest, hence the ban on black clothing.

He copped a year ban. He's allowed to play because the ban is over.

I'd be protesting too if someone wanted to release an open sewer into the river

So the talk about him still doping is rubbish?
Haha yeah pretty much. I mean he could be in theory but there's no more evidence for this than there is for Joe Burns doping.

I think the gripe stems from the idea that he's still actually benefiting from the doping he engaged in months/years ago. I don't know enough about how those things work to really have an opinion on that either way, but I suspect not many of the people carrying on about it do either.

cheers. Ftr if he hasn't had anything in a year I can guarantee he's not getting any benefit from it now.
