Indian Premier League 2025

Maxwell is living on reputation.

Some players like: Nathan Ellis and Xavier Bartlett would add more to the national team , even with both being slightly lesser known for their batting capabilities . Maxwell doesnt have anything over those two in terms of the bat at the moment. Big Show knows he is cooked. All good smashing BBL attacks here and there but this looks a level too high for him at the moment.

 

[Del125763]

Maxwell stats so far from 5 games:




Still too early to drop him 41 runs off 41 balls. Maybe its a bit too early to drop him ..........but maybe the reflexes are gone now ..turning 37 this year. He will keep going, until he gets the tap on the shoulder one senses.

Kings XI rocked up for a Nelson

111/10

That was a humiliating batting performance from the Kings XI . KKR were on point.

 

[Del125763]

Surely even Ponting with his 'Aussie binoculars' can see Maxwell is a shadow of his former self. 2 years is a long time in cricket.................Gathering the 2023 ODI World Cup is still on his mind.

 

[Del125763]

Great first ball from the X-man (Xavier Bartlett) first up.

 

[Del125763]

It looks like Kings XI may have answered a question with their fast bowling stocks tonight.

Every ball in that 1st over looked like a potential wicket ball from the X-Man.

 

[Del125763]

KKR in a bit of a bother now at 79/8 chasing 112 for victory. Its Dre Russ or Bus(t).

 

[Del125763]

KKR need 17 off 30 with Dre Russ the remaining specialist batsman remaining.

 

[Del125763]

How did KKR lose that?

Pommy : "How do you even explain that ? No way 111 can be enough , not here! Not in Mullanpur!"

Not sure Maxwell,s spot in the Australian T20/1 day side is safe at the moment.Seems to have lost it with the bat.

Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Del125763]

JFM getting a long rope than expected. He is lucky to get another game with the way he is playing.

 

[Del125763]

Delhi have been rather circumspect tonight in their approach. 104/3 off the 81 balls.

JFM getting a long rope than expected. He is lucky to get another game with the way he is playing.

And yet again did nothing with another opportunity - surely his file is now stamped

 

[Del125763]

Axar goes 'wham bham thank you mam' off Theekshana.

 

[Del125763]

Id imagine if Faf du Plessis even at 40 years old is fit, he gets a game ahead of Fraser-McGurk at the moment. Faf did play a couple of the opening games with JFM earlier in the tournament as an opening pair.

 

[Del125763]

Sandeep Sharma had a horror last over here. An abundance of wides/no-balls. Inexcusable really.

 

[Del125763]

188 posted by Delhi first up feels a bit under par here. Delhi will back themselves. Roux the fielding coach of Delhi seems quite content with the score.

 

[Del125763]

The fielding tonight from both Delhi and RR has been laughable.

 

[Del125763]

Axar gets Parag and , RR are possibly 2 down with Samson unlikely to come back to bat one senses.

 

[Around the Wicket]

And yet again did nothing with another opportunity - surely his file is now stamped

I can’t remember such a bad player getting so hyped

 

[Del125763]

The Royals need 28 off 14 balls with 4 in hand.

Hetmyer comes out and this is going to be a cracker to finish off a Wednesday night game.

 

[Del125763]

Please no thai!

 

[Del125763]

Why wouldnt you take a 2nd run on the penultimate ball? Its all win , nothing to lose. Stupid from Jurel, selfishness to the core . Playing to protect his average!

Simon Doull "Super Over here we come. Mitchell Starc Take a Bow! He's my man to bowl the super over "

Swanny " Thats why you pay the mega bucks"

 

[Del125763]

Oh me oh my. Mitchy Starc bowls a No-ball in the Super over!
