this is totally crazy!!
please play McGrath.after jane passed away,he had to face a lot of hurdles and despite that he turned up as a player and not a coach by hitting the gym to get match fit and also spent quite some time in the nets practicing despite having two kids to take care of.
DD have been guarenteed a spot in the semis and still,pidge is not in the probables?
this is so disrespectful to both glenn and his fans.
i hope nannes breaks his ankle today so that coach sheppard learns a lesson,the hard way with all due respect to dirkie.

Lets hope we get to see finally mcGrath bowling....
Anyway DD are favorates,but nothing much can be said in a 20-20 game
Yesterday CSK was favorate to win against KKR,but what happened? KKR won.
RCB has doen quite well,specially Taylor,he has played very good in last 3-4 matches,they rely on him,to get that acceleration...

 

[Raj_Aryan]

Yes we would like to see McGrath, Last time DD played against Punjab,they hardly got to 125,and 50 odd in 1st 10 overs,so yes noting much can be said,Sehwag has really disappointed,but they are sure to play in semis,so they might experiment with the team combination...

 

[KBC]

Maybe Delhi are keeping Glenn for the finals!

Oh yeah, so, Bangalore will win!

 

[Howsie]

The Royal Challengers should give Jesse Ryder a game, get him warmed up for the semi's .

 

[ZexyZahid]

I am expecting Gambhir and Sehwag to be out cheaply again. I don't understand why Vettori is not playing. Or are they resting him for the semi-finals?

 

[MuchMore]

I have a strong feeling, McGrath is being kept as a surprise weapon for the knockout phase of the tournament. But then it will be unfair with Nannes if he is made to sit out after such good performances.

 

[SciD]

Viru is out already.

scion_sid added 1 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

There you go. 2 out already. BRC doing all things to spoil it for Kings.

 

[Gurjot95]

3 down!! I hope DD win this match also othervise very less chances for KXI and other teams to go in semis

 

[gudduthemaster]

DD will lose toady:banana2
great bowling by RCB

 

[ZexyZahid]

Delhi scored 134-7. Bangalore should reach this target.

 

[gudduthemaster]

it will become more harder to KXIP to go to in semies :banana2

 

[aussie1st]

Kallis really has stepped up after being called a boring Test player. He is now getting wickets and making runs.

 

[nikhil_99]

Kumble and Kumar bowled well,a classy inngs by Kallis,RCB has impressed and are doing well in this season.
