***Official*** IPL 2009

[Howsie]

Pretty good batting from Taylor earlier today, I had a feeling he would get out though. Oh well atleast with them winning it leaves the comp more conjested.

Botha signed and is playing in the game not even 2 days after being cleared.

 

[Pratters]

Taylor's a champ

Yeah, Taylor is quality.

 

[Pratters]

Good match in the prospect. What's more, I get to see to champions in Tendulkar and Warne play. Absolute privelege.

 

[Pratters]

Warne v Tendulkar part n.

 

[Pratters]

Gavaskar not agreeing with Tendulkar sending inexperienced players up front. A reminder to those who say Gavaskar always talks with a biased view where India/Indians are concerned that it isn't true.

 

[Pratters]

Warne v Tendulkar part n.

Lasted just 2 balls (so far), both of which Tendulkar knocked off for singles.

 

[Pratters]

Tendulkar running a fast couple. Shows that he is still quick on the feet despite his age. Has always been a great runner between the wickets.

 

[Pratters]

Bhogle worried about what the asking rate will be ahead in this game. It has already crept upto 9 with more than 10 overs remaining but with Tendulkar, Jayasuriya batting and Duminy still to come, you are not out of the picture where the game is concerned.

 

[Pratters]

Mbangwa talking with random fans. He is so bloody good at his job.

 

[Shri]

Isn't it boring when you keep talking to yourself?

 

[Nate]

He is so bloody good at his job.

Unlike the Mumbai Indians then. This is a painful chase.

 

[Pratters]

Isn't it boring when you keep talking to yourself?

Haha. People also say that it (talking to yourself) shows that you are mad.

Asking rate creeps up to 10. 9 overs remaining. Warne comes back on.

 

[Shri]

Warne gets Jayasuriya. Go RR!

 

[Pratters]

Third ball, Warne to Tendulkar - uses his feet and places it beautifully over cover. Way to go!

 

[Pratters]

Warne almost gets Tendulkar as Tendulkar skies it. Lands way short of the fielders. Good ball tossed high up in the air by Warne there.

 

[Pratters]

SIX. Tendulkar SMASHES Pathan over long on for a six. Yo ma'an.

 

[Pratters]

Duminy goes. Royals on top. Only Tendulkar remains between them and a victory.

 

[Uppercut]

Duminy goes. Royals on top. Only Tendulkar remains between them and a victory.

Mmm wouldn't write of Nayar. Can certainly smash a few quick ones.
