Vettori can be hit ...BRC did that quite well. But, yeah, you would rather play him out safely if you had a choice.

ramshorns · « **Reply #81 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:17:27 PM »

RR falling apart. Good ball by Mishra and a smart stumping to get Warne.

12th_Man · « **Reply #82 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:18:29 PM »

Warnie wants to take the score closer to target before inviting Mascara and YP to throw their bats. Huh.. I selected AD Mascarenhas as trump, thinking he may get to bat more (considering RR line up).
anyway not a bad strategy by Warnie.

12th_Man · « **Reply #83 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:19:40 PM »

spoke too soon and Jinxed warnie. BTW my CV load is prettly slow.. anybody having similar issues ?

justforkix · « **Reply #84 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:21:33 PM »

these 2 should get it down to 50-60 in 4-5 overs by playing sensibly.

ramshorns · « **Reply #85 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:25:43 PM »

Hahaha..Two consecutive sixes for YP off Vettori.

justforkix · « **Reply #86 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:25:43 PM »

PATHAN POWER !!!!! SIXXXX SIXXXX

Incredible hitting.. straight 4. This guy is amazing

LosingNow · « **Reply #88 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:28:50 PM »

Now if these 2 take it to the end.. game is theirs.

Vettori banished!

I said that earlier ...if he gets back to his previous year's form and Watson gets back in the side, they suddenly start looking quite good.

Nice to see Smith guide YP and talk it through. Shows the seriousness of it.

Sangwan drops YP.. now less than run a ball

idiots!!! direct hits missed from right there . catches dropped!

Delhi deserve to lose. Sehwag is a born gangulian!!!

justforkix · « **Reply #97 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:47:09 PM »

Bad captaincy by Veeru to bring in Vettori again and then Mishra - could have brought back one of the pacers instead as YP is hell bent on dismissing the spinners out of the park !!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #98 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:48:26 PM »

18 runs from that over..

Sangawan's miss of YP will prove costly.

But then that man YP again. No getting around it. He will make you pay!!!!!

what a stupid game .... its like the India of old .... under ganguly and azhar we would find ways of losing from a winning position. This is exactly like that.

missing that direct hit by Dilshan from 5 feet away was a key. Then sangwan drops that catch

Let me open that "cleanest striker" poll again. You can change your vote.

Finishes it off.. 61 of 30 balls

YUSUF PATHAN IS DA MAN!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #109 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:57:09 PM »

He has won the last 3 games for them - including last year's final

Call the team The Rajasthan Pathans!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #110 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:02:16 PM »

Funny, I saw the line "16 needed from 14 balls".. and the mendis over flashed in front of my eyes.. he needs only 4 balls.

Sure enough they won with 9 balls to spare

Yes he is the guy for this format. He does have a way to get to you. It is a testimony to Warne to give him the chances all through last year and it paid great dividends last year and continuing this year.

It is Yusuf's team !!!!

Cover Point · « **Reply #112 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:05:55 PM »

both of RR's games have been single handedly won by YP.

they just have to hang on until Watson comes back. They also have to try to find another hitter

LosingNow · « **Reply #113 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:07:34 PM »

DD took the game a bit too easy. They should have scored 175+ on this track

They should play PC and GM in the next match. PC is going back after next game

Cover Point · « **Reply #114 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:11:40 PM »

Sehwag ... talks as if he has brains. The idiot has nothing. He should be no where close to captaincy. Let him play as a sidey batsman .... whatever he gives should be a bonus!

LosingNow · « **Reply #115 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:12:50 PM »

Shoo ..this captain won four games in a row!!! How much more evidence do you want? After all, one is bound to go by results.

Wouldn't have been possible without Smith's innings. It took them within striking distance. YP is more likely to do it from up close than from the 5th over on.
