Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[wasteyouryouth]

Our struggle has been first 6 overs and not scoring many runs. We are trying to look aggressive and have scored some amazing boundaries of mesmerizing shots but 3 overs 19 runs is not aggressive. We need to score atleast 50-60 in powerplay.

Was that fourth over enough?

I think KKR look really strong batting wise. Cummins and Bhajji are both handy at 8 & 9 but the middle order is really strong. Morgan, Karthik, Shakib and Russell might be one of the most experienced out there. I'd say up there with Mumbai as one of the most dangerous. I'm excited to see Morgan in charge for the full season.

Also Varun did really good last season. Experience of Bhajji and Varun’s last season factored the decision to play both and not Kuldeep

And Kuldeep's lousy form.

Rashid Khan should be banned ! It baffles me how scared batsman seeing him bowl.

And the guy who could belt Rashid out of the park has retired (Shane Watson)..

Eoin Morgan is next in.

Nitish Rana is class.

A treat to watch when gets going one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket balls.

SRH look amazing! Two best death bowlers (Bhuvi and Natarajan), Rashid and Nabi for the Chennai track, Warner-Bairstow-Pandey in the batting.

Its the form of Saha, Samad and Shankar that can potentially trip them again, but they'll all be one season more mature.I will be shocked if SRH dont make the playoffs, and I will be surprised if they dont make it to the Top 2.

Could say the same thing about KKR, they got an powerful middle order and if Gill and Rana do what they did today consistently, and with that strong bowling attack KKR are all but guaranteed a place in the top 2.

Rana is on fire, and it ain't looking too good for SRH with Morgan, Russell and Karthik yet to come. Just hope KKR can be restricted to 180 and someone plays a big knock today.

Not capped yet, baffles me.

This lust for deep batting line ups is beyond me. KKR are barking mad with that combination they have today. Seamer short clearly and this track looks like a road.

SRH don't deserve Kane Williamson.

This is great partnership

Collapse of epic proportions! We are 20 short!

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Not capped yet, baffles me.

Has not able to perform consistently in the A setup or even in the domestic for Delhi.

Although has improved significantly in the list A over the last 2 years to get his average at around 41.27 .

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

We are still 20 short! The collapse has given SRH an advantage. With us being short a bowler, I feel SRH will chase this.

This track is assisting spinners. Going to be a tricky chase, KKR have three spinners that SRH have to face tonight. Going to take something special to chase this down especially with the weak or rather unproven middle order that SRH have.

Two sides of the same coin
