RR would be way out of this if they had Pant keeping wicket...

Now Indian team should drop Rishabh Pant and back Samson and KL Rahul.

Very poor decision on 2nd last ball.

Bullshit. No way was he getting back for a second with the throw always headed for the keeper.

Shouldn't have denied the single to Morris.
what morris going to do nothing useful

Morris was way too new and rusty at the crease. Samson was striking at 200 ffs and had the best chance of hitting a long ball.

Samson very nearly won the game too. Had Morris failed the blame would still be on Samson. If anything, blame the clowns like Stokes who drop catches and get out for a duck in the powerplay.

Agreed, Morris is capable enough with the bat. You don't do that to a senior player. It would have made sense if it an inexperienced player/pure bowler at the other end.
But on the other hand, it was Samson's decision to make, can't blame him fully either coz he was hitting the ball so well.

That is true. Two runs weren't there. Again, this is something where you can't blame anyone. It was a pressure situation and Samson had to take a decision, had he finished off with a 6, people would have been talking a lot of positive stuff about Samson for being confident in his skills.

Samson is a special talent there's no doubt about it. I don't mind the fact that he turned a couple of runs down - he was creaming them and that's fair enough to back yourself to hit a boundary. Thats the game at the end of the day - if that ball travelled 20m further he'd be completely adulated

Looking at the ball-by-ball commentary, the main problem I see is, and I complained about this all the time in the BBL, is that Samson didn't do strike management in the overs before. This one clearly should not have been a single:
17.6
Jhye Richardson to Tewatia, 1 run
Tewatia slinks outside leg, Richardson chases him with a yorker, squeezed through midwicket to round out a 19-run over
Like, I don't know much about Tewati, but I know he was the new man in and Samson was 100 not out. Samson just shouldn't be allowing for a single there because from there who knows when he'll get on strike (it was 3 balls, in which his team scored 1 run)
