Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[Aalay]

Holy fearsome tweak man. Just stand straight and try to hit it down the ground. You are not even getting the bat on the ball, what makes you think you can play a ramp shot.

If I was Samson I'd give him the strike and cause he could probably score five sixes in an over.

 

[Aalay]

LOL someone is getting fired tonight for coming up with this Tewatia decision. This is turning into one of the worst decisions I have seen.

I am actually feeling bad for Tewatia here. He is actually trying but nothing is going in his favour.

 

[AsadRM]

Tewatia, please run yourself out for the collective benefit of your team.

 

[Bevab]

If I was Samson I'd run him out.

If the management had any ounce of sense they would call him back and retire him out. I remember this being predicted to happen more frequently in the future in that T20 Revolution book and this is one ideal situation to do it. He is not prime Yuvraj Singh, he is Rahul Tewatia ffs.

The funny thing is, he doesn't seem good enough to hit the fielder let alone the boundary.

 

[Aalay]

If I was in the Punjab team, I would make sure Tewatia stays there till the last over.

 

[KookaBurra_BEAST]

I think tewatia is playing test cricket

 

[Bevab]

The funny thing is, he doesn't seem good enough to hit the fielder let alone the boundary.

The funny thing is that his replacement would have been Uthappa who would have fared no better.

And just as I say this he hits one.

 

[Aalay]

He finally connects one.

 

[AsadRM]

Oh, dear. Oh, dear...

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Tewatia just get hit wicket fall over stumps atleast.

 

[Bevab]

If I was in the Punjab team, I would make sure Tewatia stays there till the last over.

This legitimately raises questions of fair play honestly. Retiring out an out of nick pinch hitter or an anchor/firefighter who has stabilized the innings after a collapse may very well be a viable tactic in the near future that some team should try.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Even more frustrating that he's hogged the strike while Samson seems capable of hitting everything for six.

 

[Bevab]

Dearie me Samson is denying singles at this point.
