well, shorter the game, it is better to know what the target is. bad decision to bat 1st IMO.

the outfield is apparently very wet ...so, fielding side will have some trouble

So..will the batting side!

why??

Why open with Chopra even after 20% of the overs have been chopped off??

And, why no Misbah in the BRC team?

??

Chopra goes ... well, good .. now, the hitters can come out!

CPaul came in and also Boucher. So 4 Int'l players

The tricked one walks in.

PS - why the tricked one? as they say in hindi "hussey to phasi"

Would take Misbah over Boucher any day in this format ... i am sure they can find another keeper

They have the U19 WK Goswami, but I guess he is not test class yet, so warming the benches

ganavk · « **Reply #54 on:** May 08, 2008, 04:44:04 PM »

Praveen of all the people ?
4.2 Praveen to Ganguly, no run, Ganguly gets into a very very awkward position, leans forward and Praveen bangs it in short, cramped totally, caught by surprise, lucky that he didn't get some bat on that one...

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #55 on:** May 08, 2008, 04:45:07 PM »

hussey takes praveen to the cleaners ... 11 runs .. KKR get a move on

Yeah..U19 players are not really setting the Kaveri on fire! So much was expected of V.Kohli but he seems to give more attention to his hair than to his batting

Venkatesh prasad mentions BRC would have bowled first if they won toss

Kohli's not done too bad. Jadeja has been very very good ... Kulkarni of Mumbai is average ... i see no reason why Goswami is not being played in place of Boucher and Misbah brought in

Ganguly run out!

ganavk · « **Reply #61 on:** May 08, 2008, 04:59:05 PM »

Vinay to Ganguly, out Ganguly Run Out!! Ganguly taps it on the off side and sets off for a quick single, Hussey responds, White comes steaming in and dives full length forward, hits the stumps direct with only one stump in vision, spectacular job by the fielder there on that occasion, what a great effort, even a dive couldn't save the Kolkata skipper, this fielding effort reminds me of Jonty Rhodes, the way he used to dive and hit the stumps! Ganguly run out (White) 20(22) [4s-2]

On the contrary, I think Kumble is going to wreck KKR.

dumb decision to bat first and bat this way - game, set and match to BRC.

nah, i think even they can get this! moronic decision to bat first. at the very least, they should have taken on the bowling! dumbos deserve to lose.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #68 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:05:48 PM »

this shukla chap should be batting at No 3 or 4 .. very impressive .. as is the wicket keeper Saha .. why would you want Chopra to open in a 16 over game for god's sake!

decision was fine... the outfield would have been wet, making it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball and fielders would slip ... only flip side is slowing down of the outfield - were there any signs of that?

and dont forget, in a short game, the DL - if it comes into play - can wreak the side batting second if a couple of wickets have fallen

beats me - they should have sent all the big hitters one after one and gone for it - silly billies. 5th defeat in a row in the offing.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #71 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:08:14 PM »

76/4 in 10 with two of their best hitters left (Shukla & Saha) is not bad ... both anchors (Chopra & SG) have gone.

nah, Hussey was the key. he could have turned it around and compensated for those initial "settling in" overs. BRC jobs are safe!

Kumble goes for only 3?

?? This is unpardonable on the part of KKR!

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #74 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:14:18 PM »

maybe KKR played a trick ... hoping RD will give Kumble a fourth ...and then take him for 20

and, as i type that, taibu goes to steyn

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #75 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:14:53 PM »

Is Prasanta Saha the same as Wriddhiman Saha?

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #76 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:17:34 PM »

Shukla gets 2 fours before Steyn gets him!! 6 down!!

The good part for KKR is that RR is still above 7

pipsqueak · « **Reply #77 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:22:57 PM »

why was Steyn not given 4? how can RD goof up on this!
