should watch the ipl much more entertaining. MI needed to score 190 runs inside 14.3 overs to qualify in 4th and managed it, great game to watch, also KKR (3rd at time)needed to beat CSK (2nd at time and usually one of the favs to win it) to automatically go into the play off in 2nd place and managed it. don't get that level of excitement watching ****y England do you lol. KP was ok in it, but too many times he got in (ie 30 runs or more) and ****ed it up, got couple of half centuries, don't think Chris Gayle 175 not out will ever be beaten though. any reason why there isnt more english players in this tournament? is it country cricket commitments etc, or just not good enough?
i presume iron clad contracts frankly. KP was in demand and indulged at the time but i quite fancy the biggest names can dodge IPL season one day etc and play.
What the **** is going on? We get twatted in the second ODI and then rape Sri Lanka yesterday. There's no accounting for it.
First time a team has been bowled out for under 100 and then bowled the opposition out for under 100 in the following game! Crazy... Nice to see CJ doing well though. Need to get him into the test team. At Sussex last year he was actually much better in 4 days cricket than he was in one dayers. His 20/20 record wa actually a bit dodgy so was surprised he got called up but taken his chance well and reckon he'll continue that into Test matches and could become a WC bowler. Add the fact he can bat a bit, could become a quality allrounder.
That was a very good game of cricket at the weekend. Fantastic innings from Jos What'hisface Shame we lost.
We have an F1 thread and a cricket thread, when do we get a thread for decent sports like snooker and darts?
What's a real sport? What are the criteria? F1 driver's are skillful but, then again, so are snooker players and darts players.
The series loss looks to be moving ever closer. 175 - 6 after 38 overs. Not a great position to be in
