I think his international career is slipping away by the day. He's just too inconsistent. Too bad when he's off form.

Unadkat not playing was a disappointment. He's one of the more promising T20 bowlers in India, and has an impressive strike rate which keeps his average under 20 (before the last match), even with an economy over seven. He's tall, moves the ball and gets good bounce, so in the 20-over event he should be in with a shout.
Another prospect nobody talks about is Anand Rajan from MP/Sunrisers. Shami Ahmed has amazing T20 stats over 22 games, but struggles to get a game for Kolkata, while pie-pelting Bhatia gets plenty. Even Mithun, another subject of jokes, has done very well in this year's SMAT and even last year's, and has improved drastically as a T20 bowler, although Bangalore's bench is loaded with Indian seamers, and would struggle to give all a game even with Zaheer and Pankaj injured.

He isn't so good in the shorter formats,
looks more like a test match bowler, IPL is still ok, but for internationals, he shouldn't be playing ODIs or T20s until he improves his death bowling, he should get an opportunity for the longer formats, his style of bowling would be more effective if he gets a bit more freedom. His fitness level is pretty good and always looks to attack the batsmen.

On the other hand, Dinda should be a T20 specialist only- since he was doing well in T20s before this IPL. His FC average over 55 games is over 30, which is poor- Vinay Kumar and Pankaj Singh run rings around him, and their averages say so. Even then, this little bouncy man will be slipping out of contention a lot sooner since the blokes he will have to replace have outperformed him in this IPL.

Err can we see a proper replay with the ball visible instead of having to listen to the two IPL/BCCI lackeys?
I know it's not a BCCI thing to let technology show what happened and to have cronies tell us what to think, but you know - looked like it may have hit leg to me.

That looks a horrendous decision. Still looks horrendous.

There we go one of the first no-balls through the bowler breaking the wicket on delivery.

ipl is getting boring..
IPL is like indian masala movies.. and too much masala isn't good for you (except the movies that salman khan is starring.. simply because salman is better than any actors and cricketers in the world) ..it is just killing it for me.. they should make this short and sweet.. long tournament..
I can't wait for nz and England test series.

Absolutely awful from Pollard there. Dropped three catches off Hussey off three consecutive balls in the same position.
0.6 Johnson to Hussey, no run, This can't be happening, Pollard has dropped three in a row, has this ever happened in cricket? Three identical drops in three balls, short and wide and Hussey cuts it straight to Pollard, the unlikeliest man to drop such catches, and he's put all three of them down
0.5 Johnson to Hussey, no run, Pollard drops it again, short and wide and this one's even more reachable, cut straight to him, and not very firmly, bends down to catch it in front of his stomach, easy chance this and he's spilt it once again
0.4 Johnson to Hussey, FOUR, dropped, Pollard spills one, a tough, sharp chance at point, that should have been taken, short and wide and it's cut over him, he ends up palming it over his head to the boundary
0.6 Johnson to Hussey, no run, This can't be happening, Pollard has dropped three in a row, has this ever happened in cricket? Three identical drops in three balls, short and wide and Hussey cuts it straight to Pollard, the unlikeliest man to drop such catches, and he's put all three of them down

Spectacularly random occurrence though, Johnson landing it in the same area three balls in a row.
