This is absurd. Maxwell isn't even in yet

Great. So I make a point about KXIP doing a good job playing their best player at 3, and they go and drop Maxwell to 4.
KXIP are being pretty clever with how they use him IMO. They bat him at #3 after a good opening stand but when he has to come in after two balls, then fair enough holding him back a little.

this is beyond ridiculous lol. And they didn't play Vohra all this time, man kings 11 look more and more ominous each time.

Sharma really doesn't rate Andersons bowling , he has now moved down the peaking order below Simmons.

He's always walking around looking perplexed and absolutely clueless in stark contrast to how he struts around like the king of the world when he plays for India. Pretty sure there was a game where he had completely lost it in the death overs and Sammy stepped in and took over.
Errr......what? wtf??

Is Ross Taylor injured? Seems no logic to be picking de Kock ahead of him.
Taylor only played 3 games and his last 2 were low scores, de Kock has played 7 games and his last 3 have been low scores. If Taylor doesn't replace de Kock for todays game then the only thing that makes logic is that the coach is South African.

Eyes not spreadsheets
2 low scores shouldn't be enough to drop a proven world class player for the latest flavour of the month. Could understand it if they needed de Kock for his keeping but they have a better gloveman than him who's Indian.

Can't believe no-one appealed/it wasn't referred. KP's running is so lazy, there was always a chance it was out.
There was a mild appeal, the ump waived it away. Just stupid, not the first time it's happened, there isn't really a time-constraint in this game, and it'll take 30 seconds at most.
