Dravid gone - his innings ended with a S/R of 140. Good to see it. I need Mallaya to be embarassed in every way possible.

Dravid should bat 3 next game. He's got the technique to bat on wickets in the Republic and he knows the score. Taylor's shot was a disgrace.

Got something to bowl at now and the Royals haven't got too many 'real' batsman in their side. Get Smith early and they will be under the pump.

Yea, but they do slog quite deep, and a quick 20-30 runs from a couple players is all you need to chase a score under 140.

B'lore end up with 133 .... It was all Dravid, nothing much to say abt others!

RR would feel comfortable

smith vs styen in SA should be good...do they play for the same domestic side ???
No. Smith plays for the Cobras (at Newlands) and Steyn plays for the Titans franchise. Played against each other last year in a 20/20 and Steyn was smashed all over the place.

More likely to see the first 6 overs get belted for 50-60 on a slow pitch I think.

Would think they'd try to attack the opening overs while scoring runs is at its easiest. You don't want to get behind the run rate on a slow.
