I gotta say. This is a darn sight better than the ICL.

Did anybody hear the ICL commentary? It was ridiculous. They were trying to make ever ball/shot seem amazing.

*Batsman hits the ball to the cover fielder*
"....and thats why the people come to see him play, fabulous batting"

Kallis on. McCullum swinging and missing.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

Yeah searching a bit hard for his 50.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

Well that was one of the more muted half century celebrations I've ever seen from Batsman or crowd.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Ponting and McCullum. Interesting combination. I find McCullum very Ponting-esque (mannerism/personality-wise rather than cricket-wise, before anyone jumps me for such a comment)

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

It's all a bit muted now...

 

[silentstriker]

50 up! Good half century.

 

[99*]

Just me or does Ponting seem to be struggling?

McCullum with a mid-wicket slog.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

There we go, normal boundary service resumed

 

[TT Boy]

Leading edge from Ponting. Bit of turn for Joshi.

 

[silentstriker]

Huge hit on one knee.

McCullum with a mid-wicket slog.

McCullum was on fire in the ODIs, in form and we're seeing the effect of that. Ponting I gather hasn't really been in touch all season.

 

[silentstriker]

Wow, Joshi rocketed that ball back.

 

[TT Boy]

Luck for Ponting, was just slogging across the line.

 

[silentstriker]

There's a six from Ricky.

 

[silentstriker]

Mark Boucher lets that go! He's better than that, usually.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha McCullum one handed hit for six. Poor Bangalore...right after one misses the stumps by 1 inch.

 

[pup11]

Punter just going through the motions atm, he couldn't care any less if he gets out to the next ball.

 

[99*]

Ponting gone. Poor shot.

Nothing more than I'd expect from him TBH. And he is out it seems.
