Feel bad for Finch. Its tough as a captain to be angry with your bowlers when you bowl an over for 29

Kolkata seem to be stuck with Kallis. He's a poor T20 all-rounder, with a poor batting strike rate, and simply not one to throw the ball to, but he seems a premier all-rounder for them. It will eventually hamper their campaign. Ideally, KKR should field McCullum (when available), Morgan, RTD and one of Sena and Narine. That's a T20-ready combination.

Taylor's struggles in the IPL are surprising.

True. If they can bench kallis and play Sena, Narine, Baz, Morgan/Lee, they will have better success.

So gutted I missed Gayle's knock. What a freak.

 

[Burgey]

Ridiculous numbers from Gayle. Hard to believe anyone could score so many runs that quickly.

 

[Jarquis]

Wavell Hinds tweeted to say he wasn't surprised as he played a T20 trial game with Gayle where he scored 198... and got out in the 15th over.

Carrying on his Sydney Thunder form I see.

He is always in-form for T20's..

Genuinely the only person in the world that rates Aaron Finch's bowling is Aaron Finch.

In a recent Aus A series against the British Lions or whatever they're called, Finch bowled himself out despite having a number of specialty bowlers who only bowled a handful of overs and the game never being in doubt.

wait did Dhawan just get hit in the nuts and then retire?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yep, came out to bat again at the end.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Heh Indian cricket at its finest there.

 

[Manee]

Dhoni really is a special finisher. It just seems like if he's "in", that no target is really beyond him.

[Scaly piscine]

Exhibition of how not to bat in T20. From the Shahid Afridi school of batting strategy.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Could be a fun game if they scrape some sort of total and get the some of the class batsmen out early.

When do we start referring to Darren Sammy as the 'Great' Darren Sammy. Must be coming soon enough.
