IPL Match 4 : Ganguly VS Kumble : KKR VS RCB

Gah, disappointed with the top order Bangalore put out today. Should've been:

Kallis
Pandey
Dravid
Morgan
Kohli
Goswami/Boucher

Boucher should've played along with Vinay over Steyn. Although, Goswami has had a terrific 50 over season, best batsman of the season in the format imo.

But, woooo, Manoj Tiwary! :D What a gun knock! So happy that he's finally found his feet in the IPL - he's just got so much talent. The team switch did some good for him. Hopefully he can carry on for the rest of the tournament. Definetely more quality than Yusuf's knock yesterday with more actual cricket shots and timing than a monotonous display of strength while biffing the ball like Yusuf does.
 
Think Kolkata has won this match, yup they're going good in the IPL , they canb qualify probably in the semis.
 
"Our owner always makes news everytime" - Saurav, that was a brilliant line!

Good win, hope KKR go on to bigger things this time.
 
Tiwary is such a beast. Amazing innings, especially post-injury. Those overs vs Kallis and then Steyn was amazing.
 
Tiwary finally shows his true colours.
 
Rayudu and Tiwary have made proper use of their lifelines so far. If they can keep this up, I can see either one of them get into the national side pretty soon.
 
Too bad because that means Hodge and Matthew will go out. ;)

It's hard to leave any of the KKR internationals out. Probably Shah would come out for Gayle. Hodge is a better player IMO. He may not play at such a good strike rate but he has more stability and his bowling is a little plus. Always nice having as many options as possible.

I think Langeveldt would have to make room for Bond despite him bowling pretty well. It's a shame both can't fit in because it would give some really good attacking options, especially at the death. Matthews has been so handy the first 2 games, all-rounders add a lot to a side. Bond will be available for the 3rd game so it gives the selectors something to think about.
