IPL 37th Match: Chennai Super Kings v Rajasthan Royals

[naresh091]

Morkel is always costly in his 3rd and 4th over.
Tyagi should have bowled the last over imo.
We must try sending Albie at no.3 this game.Must give him some time in the field,for him to get into form(like how Badri and Dhoni came into the groove).
Jakati was once again impressive but was a bit expensive.But if he hadnt took out Yusuf Pathan,it would have been a bigger score.
And what a catch by Oram there?Only inches away from the ropes,and he held his nerve and completed a spectacular catch.
Hope we win comfortably.

Raina gone.Big blow for us.This match will go down to the wire.We'll win it though!

What a beaut of an over from Warne. Badri survives though.

 

[Precambrian]

Can Badri stop thinking of every match he plays as a potential entry match for him to the Indian squad. He will do himself a whole world of good not to pressurise himself.

Warne vs Hayden. Wow

 

[naresh091]

Badri and Hayden steadying the ship now.Need to accelerate soon.

 

[Precambrian]

Badri looking completely out of sync there. He has taken the momentum out of Hayden also by denying him the strike.

 

[LongLegs?]

Badri's on fire. Not the greatest piece of bowling by Harwood though.

CSK can't lose now you'd think. Run-a-ball from here.

 

[Precambrian]

Harwood hung out to dry. Awesome batting by Badri.

Sorry? He was just trying to build up a partnership.

That better be the excuse. Because he looked none the part. Credit to him, he accelerated when needed.

That over by Badri on Harwood was just ownage... Harwood mouthed the "F" word to Badri on his run through, and Badri kept thrashing Harwood in the remaining balls. It reminded me of Dravid vs Donald in '96 (although Harwood is no Donald).

Hayden is GONE, but I think CSK have done enough to canter to a win here. Badri has batted brilliantly after a slow start. He is a steadying ship who can accelerate when needed. He should have been in the team atleast a year back. If CSK win this, its 5 wins in a row and thats HUGE! We should make it to the semis easily.

Who said?
Badri has pulled off a match winning innings here.What a knock?
Take a bow young man!

 

[Precambrian]

Glorious pick up by Badri. His last 20 balls produced 43 runs as against just 14 from his first 20 balls. And that over from Harwood was pure carnage and ownage. Harwood, you are up against someone special.

He was looking out of sorts and completely at sea against Warne till about the 15th over. But then, a different Badri emerged. I admit I am glad my observation was premature.
