Only disappointment was Steyn didn't splatter the stumps again.

Disappointed Steve Smith isn't playing for Pune. You would've thought that the side who came last last year would play the guy who was their best player, but hey, good luck to them./QUOTE]


well i think marsh over smith is right...until you bat marsh at 8.

Some interesting selections by Rajasthan today.

Delhi still not playing Sid Kaul FTL.

Dammit...

Just when i was enjoying Rahane+Dravid

KP obviously collecting a cheque just by being on the sidelines

Liking Dravid and Hodge in the same batting line up.

Yadav operating @ 145kph

Chand has an interesting T20 record. Fairly poor, but scored a 50 and then two centuries in consecutive innings - so I can only imagine how bad it was before then. His team lost two of those matches by the way.

Gee, Sreesanth's put on a few.

Still have an lovely outswinger

For someone who is rightly considered one of the greatest slip catchers ever, Dravid's catching has been pretty shocking in the last year or two.. I have no idea what's cause such a steep dropoff

Age and reflexes. Fairly obvious tbh.

Age and reflexes. Fairly obvious tbh.

Maybe, but it didn't really seem to have affected his batting in England.. where he was simultaneously masterly in playing Swann as late as possible, and absolute **** in the slips. I'm assuming a decline in reflexes would affect his batting against quality spin and swing too, but it didnt really seem to have atleast in England.
And he's declined shockingly, not a gradual degradation

 

[Spark]

It certainly affected him in Australia...

 

[Satyanash89]

Appropriate that Dravid drops a sitter and Rahane pulls off an absolute stunner... proves your point about reflexes, really...
Rahane

Man this is one hilarious ****-up by Delhi.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Good stuff.
