OK, in tonight's game Mumbai or Rajasthan?? I think the Rajasthan Royals may just pull out a victory like KKR did last night.

Good to see chips from Tare, Rayudu and SST. The young long-haired lad from Jharkhand is a very good pick for T20, and a good find for his team. With a few more seasons, he may be a regular in India's T20 team.

Why isn't Yusuf Pathan bowling? Seven bowlers are used, they're staring at a run-rate of ten, and he hasn't been called on to bowl! He's always got a wicket each time he's used, especially fully.

EDIT: Oops...he's bowling the 14th

What a catch! Surely one of the best ever i've seen by a keeper.

Tait averaging in the mid 140s makes my doubts about speed guns being uniform stronger.

May be the place is damn hot. Colombo these days temperature rises to 34 - 36 range. India is much more continental, so the temperatures may be much higher.

McLaren was clocking in the late 130s. Tait probably saving himself for the World 20/20 and just going through the motions like many of the international players will.

Whoa! Yusuf Pathan has played a gem of an innings so far. He's carrying the innings, and playing very smartly. Let's just hope he converts this into an Orange Cap performance, and takes it forward into T20Is and ODIs. He's been thrown away a few times, and honestly, in his capacity, too useful to throw away. If he can improve his bowling and develop as a wicket-taker rather than a container, he's an asset to his team. Dhoni-Kris, take note. Other countries have gained more from the IPL and CLT20 than India.

The Royals have too many bowlers. They need more proper batsmen, and there don't seem enough.

On a related note, I find the repeated commentary saying how much India has missed the ICL players a tad annoying. Many of them were of little use to their domestic teams, let alone the Indian team. There wasn't much they could offer, and were outshone by their international teammates. Whatever they've done so far, can also be done by some less-fancied domestic faithfuls. We all loved Rayudu's innings, but Saurabh Tiwari also played well, and he's been a domestic faithful all along.

Some huge hitting from Yusuf so far, just hope for the sake of the match he keeps going. If he gets out then this match is over.

Oh God, NO. Leave that terminology to the IPL "commentary" team please Arjun.
