*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

Harsha Bhogle kept taking digs at Kallis's T20 batting, seems he hasn't been following the IPL much in the last two years.

I think at times a 50 off 45 balls etc is not good enough in the IPL to be fair. A bit like Dravid's innings today.

Next time tho.

In today's match, more than good enough. Batted quite perfectly in partnership with Gambhir. He also managed to accelerate nicely in the end. Basically, he looks one of the best batsmen around in the IPL without taking too many risks, like Tendulkar.

"Sometimes I feel the need to study the anatomy of Kallis. I want to make sure he is a human," says Sam

Haha great quote from a Cricinfo reader

 

[Jono]

Great call by Kochi to drop Murali and Sreesanth. Murali is not anything close to what he used to be, and Sreesanth is just pure ****.

 

[Jarquis]

Leaving out Murali is a ****ing huge call.

 

[Jono]

The right call IMO.

Definitely huge though. Especially coming from Mahela.

 

[Jarquis]

Need Tendulkar out early here.
Ramesh Powar, wag. What a belly.

 

[Himannv]

Good decision by Mahela. Perera is a useful player to have in this format.

Expected T Suman to play for Mumbai. Quite surprised he hasn't played a part ahead of R Satish.

 

[Himannv]

Wish Mahela would just give himself a pat on the bat and go open the batting. He's more likely to be effective doing that than anything else. Should be the obvious choice to be partner to McCullum.

 

[Jono]

Bowl Vinay Kumar on the other end!

 

[Jarquis]

Gomez should just **** off.

 

[Jono]

Argh, ended up being a bad over by Vinay Kumar. One absolute gem of a delivery to Sachin though.

 

[Himannv]

Get Perera into the attack IMO. Has a knack of taking wickets sometimes.

 

[Jono]

That last ball that went for 4 leg byes was actually out!

Vinay Kumar had Sachin and it wasn't given!!

 

[Jarquis]

That was out. Not just clipping either. Ffs.

 

[Jono]

Get Perera into the attack IMO. Has a knack of taking wickets sometimes.

Nah not yet. Back these bowlers who have bowled reasonably well. Just a bit unlucky tbh.

 

[Jono]

RP bowling well here. Finish this over off please.

 

[Cevno]

Jacob seems to be hardly getting bat to ball out there.
And he is supposed to be the early dasher of the 2.

 

[Cevno]

Another DECENT shout by Kumar on Sachin there.
