*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

He got the length of that ball to Zaheer wrong but the outswing on it was oh-so-awesome to watch. Zaheer never stood a chance.

Cricicnfo says Andrew Symonds is likely to play today. Can't wait to see him and Harbhajan Singh in the same team. Would be great fun if one runs the other out.

 

[Jono]

Haha awesome.

 

[Cevno]

What's with this Abhishek Raut that has played every game so far for Rajasthan?

Bats at 8 ,doesn't seem to bowl more than one over .Strange .His domestic record is also not good at all in both the disciplines.
Must be something he has showed in the nets that is impressive.

 

[Jono]

Slow start from Rajasthan, but they have batting to come. Would want to get cracking soon though.

 

[Cevno]

They really should have Watson opening with Dravid for me.

Paunikar and Dravid both are not real quick starters.

 

[Jarquis]

Paunikar is poo, you've got people like Watson, Botha and Taylor who are all batting 1 or 2 places too low and this bloke who looks about 6 too high.

 

[four_or_six]

Dravid needs to get on with it now, or take one for the team. Watto and Taylor shouldn't still be sat on the bench with ten overs left.

 

[Cevno]

Menaria is gun.

Pretty much better than Sourabh Tiwary for Mine.

Scored a hundred each in the QF,SF AND Final of the Ranji trophy this year.

 

[centurymaker]

warneyyyy- should've chosen watson as one of the openers!!!

 

[four_or_six]

Ah, a cricinfo reader has explained the batting order for us...

Geoff: "If Watson is a 'finisher' it might be justified him batting down order in a chase but surely not when setting a total?Maybe Warne is jealous of his hair."

 

[Jarquis]

Best two batsmen at the crease now...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Thank **** Taylor is in ahead of Botha.

Perfect timing for Watson and Taylor to do their thing.

 

[Jono]

I reckon those two wickets by Yusuf will work to Rajasthan's favour, rather than against it.

 

[vcs]

Watson was smacking Shakib in Bangladesh a couple of days back and now he's doing it in the IPL. Poor Shakib.

 

[Spark]

Shakib to Watson? Errrrrrrrrr....

 

[vcs]

Good to see Balaji getting hammered.

 

[Ikki]

Good to see Balaji getting hammered.

 

[Howe_zat]

Cricinfo headline: "Watson and Taylor step up tempo"

I don't think anyone predicted that.

Edit - Revenge of Shakib

 

[vcs]

Shakib gets back some measure of revenge though. I think RR's slow tempo start could end up costing them in this one.
