Impact player, Rahul Tripathi on 0 off 6 balls.

Oh wait, he's now gotten off the mark with a boundary.

Yeah it's a fair point. Not saying he should be a definite starter, but just really surprised he hasn't been an impact player at the very least

I'm not too hot on Rabada now in T20s itbt. Seems to have regressed and become quite hittable in this format. Think Ellis is a better option than him

Impact rule is set up so you can't sub in an overseas player when you already have 4 in the side AFAIK, even for another overseas player. Otherwise you'de probably sub him out for bairstow.

I think Harshal Patel's been reading this thread over the past few days.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Definitely heard something live, was surprised there was basically no appeal until Curran talked Dhawan into the review.

Scrappy Doo to the rescue...... @ashley bach @SillyCowCorner1

He was on the case like an ant to sugar

On another note, the last few games have shown what happens when you go too hard batting first on tracks that are not featherbeds. And a lot of discussion has been about home advantage but its really been all about the toss advantage. At Vizag, teams batting first seem to have a clear advantage - same in Lucknow, and in most others batting second seems to be more favorable, esp. with the dew. Even the RCB game, there were clear signs the pitch got a lot better to bat on with more dew out there in the second inning.

Nitish is only 20 and is playing a good knock here. His hero is Ben Stokes.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Did CW meme'd Harshal into form?

 

[honestbharani]

think quite a few of the criticisms about Virat's innings are being proven wrong over the last 2 or 3 days.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Keep on going Nitish

 

[honestbharani]

Nitish has been putting stellar numbers in Ranji for a few years now. Good to see him get his shot and a local player for them too, from Hyderabad.

 

[Xix2565]

Nitish saying otherwise tbh.

 

[Nintendo]

This ntish guy can bat, how on earth is this his first t20 50?

 

[Socerer 01]

what is this sorcery? i thought you were supposed to not cross 160 SR if everyone else is **** /s

There's your answer.

 

[honestbharani]

And why are Punjab not playing Rahul Chahar? Is he injured or something?

 

[Xix2565]

I mean Nitish going hard let Samad settle in quicker. If anything this just validates aiming for hitting over singles/dots.

 

[honestbharani]

Seriously why would you not play Rahul Chahar and not bowl Sikandar Raza when Brar clearly was not having a good day.

Good job dropping Nitish as well, Punjab.
