Indian Premier League 2024 (22nd March-29th May)

[NYRB]

Been a nice cameo from Cam Green 36 not out from 19 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Abhishek and Travis Head have to depart inside the powerplay, and its game on.

 

[NYRB]

RCB defeat SRH by 36 runs. Cam Green was excellent tonight.

Standings after Game 41:

 

[Westend]

Well done green dog

And ffs rcb bat him up the order

 

[Westend]

Enjoyed Green v Cummins highlight for me

Green dog enjoyed the pace of Cummins and reckon Cummins had a smile on his face. When greenie smashed him for four

 

[NYRB]

Markram is a terrible choice for a T20 bat in this format for me. Id be tempted to swap him for Glenn Phillips of NZ as the international airport.

Markram has been a bit out of sorts this tournament. Travis Head had one of his rare fails last night.

 

[010203]

Cummins goes for 19 off his 1st over.

CaPtAiN WoKe, oh wait, SRH fans probably don't care about anything non cricket related with Cummins.

 

[Around the Wicket]

You’d hate to be a bowler in this IPL pitches are way too flat.

 

[NYRB]

CaPtAiN WoKe, oh wait, SRH fans probably don't care about anything non cricket related with Cummins.

Overall his bowling has been OK this tournament. He is the best choice of captain in that T20 lineup, yep better than Markram.

Markram as a player shouldnt be in the first XI. For me , he struggles to build on momentum from the good start from openers in that lineup.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Dushmantha Chameera, Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana

Starc out with a cut finger….

 

[NYRB]

3 dropped catches from Kings XI Punjab.

 

[NYRB]

Rabada is having a nightmare of a Game 42. He looks scared.

 

[NYRB]

There are better local grade cricketers going in Australia than Rabada tonight.

 

[NYRB]

He is bowling absolute garbage tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Rabadas confidence is totally rattled.

 

[NYRB]

Rabadads confidence has been torn to pieces this tournament.

I mean I know Starc or Cummins can go for an 18-19 an over , on an occassional performance but batsman are liking their lips when he comes on.

 

[NYRB]

KKR post 261/6 and thats a massive score for Kings XI Punjab to chase down.

 

[NYRB]

An amazing chase from Kings XI Punjab.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

KKR post 261/6 and thats a massive score for Kings XI Punjab to chase down.

About 30 too short in the end

 

[NYRB]

About 30 too short in the end

KP said in comms that it was the highest ever chase in T20 cricket all around the world.

 

[NYRB]

I didnt know Bairstow had an innings like that in him.

 

[NYRB]

This IPL season has revolutionised T20 cricket. Mindset in the 7th-14th overs now is not to consolidate but to hit out.

One of the comms mentioned 240-250 is the new 180-190.
