Chennai versus Kolkata on ITV4 now.
Kolkata chasing 154 to win.....looking like a good game.
-
KKR are looking likely, Pathan and Kallis at the crease
-
Could go all the way, although with 8 wickets left I would put KKR as the favourites...
-
Kallis goes for 54, game still very much open.
EDIT: Also why on the player stats are they counting the number of 30's not the number of 50's the player has scored?
-
Is there a good online store for IPL replica kit and goodies?
I want one of those Horned Hats that the Deccan Chargers fans have - they are superb!
-
i wonder how much crap u have in ur house fattus! :D
-
Melinga on fire bish bash bosh
-
Malinga is on fire! Mumbai have got a very strong team.
Are there any custom makes out in the ipl this year? I'm guessing there're a few ayrtek helmets around? what about h4l, bulldog etc?
-
I love the ipl i would love to go and watch a few games there
-
they arent showing it here in auus yet... owwwww :(
-
Does anyone know a streaming site that shows the IPL
-
do you not have itv???
if not try justin tv thingy
-
I want a red helmet
yes missed the karbonn kamall catch thingy
-
slogsweep, have a look on my p2p, or it could even be shown on the itv website.
last year there was a youtube channel for it, but had a quick look for it and there isn't one for 2011 yet (well not that i found anyway).

One to watch in the IPL this year is Davy Jacobs when he's batting.
-
New bat please!!
-
New batsman please!!
-
he has looked a good keeper
-
hows that for timing looks good indeed why not him instead of that other for the saffers wych
-
he has looked a good keeper
completely agree Dave, some great talent on show.
-
Take a bow slinger
This is top class seeing the best all in action
Does he get a motorbike or something for that
-
Mumbai should be pissed if they don't win the IPL this year. By far the best squad.
Extra firepower in the middle order with Rohit, Symonds and Franklin. And a proper keeper in Jacobs.
-
Mumbai to win, although I think almost all the teams have enough good players to beat any other team on any given day especcially when you consider the unpredictable nature of Twenty20. Hopefully india winning the world cup will make the IPL even better this year.

How goddamn annoying is this female presenter?

How goddamn annoying is this female presenter?
She doesn't half talk some crap, I feel embarrassed for the players on there, they look shocked with what she comes out with sometimes!
-
would you though....
-
I know Leo, she just goes on as well, just awful
-
would you though....
-
Yes I would love to smash a bat round her head!
-
Leo - not related to Andy Gray are you :D
-
I think it is youth speak for sticking his gentleman sausage somewhere.....
-
Awesome run out by Morgan!
-
dropped a clanger there has ten doe!
-
Balls-up made he has!
When did you turn into Yoda?
-
Haha, I love it when people speak like yoda
-
who the frig is yoda?
-
who the frig is yoda?
the great Jedi master, yoda is

rp27 - your inbox is full

the great Jedi master, yoda is
Never heard of him, who does he play for?
-
Great comment on the boots there - coco the clown
-
Never heard of him, who does he play for?
he plays for the jalandhar jedi knights, opens the batting too
-
Enjoying watching Johan Botha run between the wickets, he runs the first very hard and has probably gained a good couple of runs for the RR because of this. I don't like seeing people just trundling to the other end for an easy 1 rather than pushing the first hard, putting the fielder under pressure and maybe gaining an extra 1. This also gives the other runner with him push hard and also know they can trust his running.
-
That is out
-
these presenters are awful -.-
-
Not a bad start from Malinga
-
plum good start
-
Kumar is a good bowler early on, epecially in a slightly green wicket.
-
bloody hell reina now
-
2in2, 0 for 2! hat-trick ball.
-
what a chain
-
When PK is fit he's an automatic pick for India in limited overs cricket. He has the rare ability to swing the ball on any pitch.
Good to see Ryan Harris back as well
-
I like this Kumar guy already, that chain is ridiculous!
-
Is Theron in the IPL this year? He reminded me of Alfonso Thomas a bit the way that he's a smallish skiddy bowler that batsmen can't seem to put away in t20 games.
-
bloody hell that looked sharp
-
Rusty Theron is in the Deccan Chargers squad but hasn't played so far
-

To answer my own Q, he's playing for Deccan this year.
-
what are peoples opinions on the poll?
better keeper batsman - dhoni 54% gilchrist 46% atm ???
-

absolute joke, gilchrist is 10x the keeper batsman dhoni is
-
hard one that i would go with gilly just but overall with dhoni capatancy i would say either
there batting is so different it hard to judge
As a finisher in one day cricket few can match Dhoni
As a opener few can match Gilly
-
It's a tough one to be fair, I would choose Gilly as I believe in an all-time world XI I believe he would add more to a team with this exploits opening the innings.
-
Personally I'd go with gilly, dhoni's captaincy is very good but the question is merely whos better keeper-batsman. I think gilly is more likely to take the game away especially in tests imo
-
imagine them both in the same side in one dayers the perfect opener and perfect finisher 2 very good cricketers indeed
Gilly changed the way test are played for sure and agree in tests changed the way in a hour or two
-
When Dhoni first came on to the world stage, he was so destructive and was more dangerous than Gilly. These days Dhoni is far more sedate.
Dhoni would get into a World XI with his batting alone.

i disagree, i like dhoni, but he's not a patch on gilchrist for me
-

one day side yes
test side no
The thing with Gilly like Warne changed the way people played cricket.
Dhoni is quality no doubt at what he does and has been disruptive but Gilly did change many things and was a innovator
-
Jeet, im sorry, i really do value the decent cricketing debates on the forum aside from "my bat has 67 grains" but do you genuinely believe that Dhoni would get in a World XI as a batsmen? Seriously?
-

There not a better finisher in world cricket than Dhoni in one day cricket
Maybe only Bevan is his equal i think in one day cricket
-
Are we talking all time or a current world xi?
-
for me Rich currently there no better than dhoni at finishing
Keeping wise i would say neither were the best...
-
All time? Les Ames, or Godfrey Evans, depending on if you want batsman-keeper or keeper who can bat. No-one else comes close in my opinion.
-

I'm talking about ODI team not Test cricket.
Dhoni averages 49 and has a S/R of 90, not many better around in the history of the game
-
Jeet mate, give it a break.
Gilly opened the batting and dominated, whereas Dhoni comes in 4,5,6,7 and has a slog to get his 20-40 not out, which makes his average better. When you open in a ODI, it is very hard to bat through an innings.
-
CSK have come back very well in this game.
-
yes vijay and badrinath both look very good players look a good track to bat on now the balls stopped moving
-
Jeet mate, give it a break.

Yawn
-
i would have liked to have seen Bevan in his pomp in the ipl
-
Viv with today's bats pitches and boundaries is a scary thought
-
Vijay really pisses me off. Was sh!t is South Africa but will end up having a good IPL and will keep his place in the Test squad. He's keeping better players out the national side
-
aye got my history head on today like best opening partnership in cricket...
greenidge/haynes or hayden/langer few others out there as well
-
he looks good enough to me Jeet
-
dave - Hobbs and Sutcliff
I can't believe there are pompom men in the IPL this year. It has all gone wrong.
-
Yawn
All good mate. I'll stay in the world of reality, while you can live in your own fantasy land.
-

greenidge/haynes or hayden/langer few others out there as well
ODI cricket Ganguly/Sachin & Jayasuriya/Kula
-
he looks good enough to me Jeet
His footwork is poor and gets exposed outside India
-
All I'm saying is that Gilchrist went out there and set the platform for Australia, whereas Dhoni has tendaulker, Sehwag, Kholi, Singh to set he platfor for him, so all he has to do is come in and get his 20-40 odd and end up not out.
-
In odi best was Hayden/gilchrist
-
Boon/Marsh
-
In odi best was Hayden/gilchrist
SRT/Ganguly are statisically the best ever. I
-
dave - Hobbs and Sutcliff

bit before my time i have to say people like haynes greenidge Broad got me into cricket
As a young lad though my team was Worcestershire with Rhodes Radford and Dilley and Hick
Bloody hell cricket is the best game left shame money is coming into it
Jeet crickinfo ans stats do not tell the whole story
-
Stats only tell you so much which is why I don't go to just them as if you go by stats there are people with better averages than sachin but I still think he is the best bat ever
-
I love how so far, most people's opinions of the best openeing partnerships have included the Hayden/Langer and Hayden/Gilchrist. Yet the only person mentioning Indian partnerships is Jeet.

I'm guessing you where dropped on your head when you where born. I didn't say Dhoni was the better opener. In a world XI both would play. Dhoni at 7 and Gilly at 1. Its not rocket science.
So cos Dhoni has good players infront of him he can slog 20 not out? Is that the same for Hussey aswell? Cos Ponting, Watson, Clarke normally set a platform
-
No stats tell you thinks like Graham Dilley mad ark run up
Best team ever
West Indies in there pomp
-
Get Badrinath into the Test side. The guy scores runs for fun yet is never selected
-

Mate, I'm just being realistic, but I assume that you are Indian so you wont listen to reason.
You were saying that Dhoni was the better option out of him and Gilchrist, which is actually a pretty funny joke. Actually it's the oppostie with Hussey, he often comes in and rescues his team so get a clue. There is no way in hell that Dhoni would get into a world XI team as a batsmen, not a chance mate!
-
He bashing the ball here....
Lets be fair Dhoni and Gilly are compleatly different
I enjoy watching them both play but would take
Sangakkara and Bevan over both of them,...
-
It is a top 6 usually for batsmen and dhoni nit in the top 10 right now for me but all time odi gilly would be my opener and keeper
-
the helicopter like that ultimate bat look no further,, nice helmet too
-
I like sanga but would not burden him with the gloves as bats better without the gloves or so the stats say ;)
-
Speaking of Hussey, he just got 100.
-
I want to prefect the helicopter shot if i did it would not get off the square
-
Remarkable comeback by CSK. O-2 and ending up 188-4
-
Interesting fact for you cricket statto's - Malinga's over to Sehwag yesterday was his first maiden faced in ODI cricket in over in 10 years!
-
from twitter:
the guy "tweeting" is the Sun's cricket correspondent
JohnSunCricket:
If you're not actually watching it, you won't believe the standard of bowling by Punjab in today's IPL match. Utter filth.

hahahaha
-
Im a bit behind here, had to pause it for a bit. Just seen the "helicopter shot", never heard of it before - I swear it's not actually a shot? He just cuts the backlift short and brought his arm down slightly?
-
CSK's bowling and fielding (mainly fielding) has been massively sub-par so far
-
Extraordinary innings by Paul Valthaty. Well played young man
-
Indeed, superb innings.
-
lol Dhoni.
-
why is watson not batting this is poor from Warne
-
I was thinking that, after his frolics in bangladesh he should've been thrown straight at the top of the order.
However, maybe put him in the middle against the spin which is what he's been so destructive against.
-
I would have wacked in straight in myself it looks mad him not batting
They do not look that happy about freddy music
-
How many times will the commentators and people in the studios mention that Malinga practices his yorkers by bowling at trainers placed where the batsmen feet should be?
-
Come on the super over!!
-
Damn you Jadeja!!!
-
did anyone just see de villiers reverse sweep off southee for 6!?
-
Lots of pics of Warnie's new mrs on the TV this afternoon.
Please will someone explain just how an uncouth Aussie can pull our Lizzy??!!
-
Not a bad start for gayle biggest six of the tournament
-
Brilliant innings, total game changer.
-
How can the west indies drop him!!!!!
There loss is rcb's gain cleanest hitter of a ball in world cricket for me
-
anyone know when symonds left mongoose??
-
Liz Hurley is undoubtedly filthy and incredibly fit.
Warne is completely unfit and filthy birds like him.

God damn Chris gayle you beauty does he even care if the field is out
-
Much prefer Isa Guha as a presenter. Mmmmmm
-
Have to agree and she knows what she is talking about as is a decent cricketer herself
-
Much prefer Isa Guha as a presenter. Mmmmmm
she's not attractive :S
-
she's not attractive :S
seconded!
-
Isa Guha wow just turned on and definitely would no problems
-

seconded!
I'm worried about you two. Have you got something going on between yourselves? ;)
-

Get you ducky!
-
It's a lot better with a woman on it who knows about cricket.
-
God damn take a bow MR GAYLE clean striking at it's best the cleanest hitter of a ball in the world today
still not sure about the dancing
-
she's not attractive :S
I'm pretty sure the cheerleaders more than make up for it ;)
-
Superb work by De Villiers behind the stumps then!
-
gotta agree amazing! but if he had missed it would be a different story :P
-
gotta agree amazing! but if he had missed it would be a different story :P
haha true, but he's got to rely on communication from the field I guess as he's got his back to the runners... Nevermind he didn't miss, so all is good!
-
Never knew De villers was a keeper, and why is Gayles number 333?
-
didnt he hit 333 ?
-
Now thats a catch.
-
Zaheer Khan what a pluck
-
Never knew De villers was a keeper, and why is Gayles number 333?
>:( You didn't know AB could keep?! Commentators always used to go on about how he would take the gloves for SA when Boucher retires.
Gayle's highest score is 333.
It's just how Murali has 800 on his shirt, as he took 800 test wickets.
-
Why the change of kit?
-
Why the change of kit?
was just about to ask that
-
They are part of a 'green' initiative so they changed their kit as a one off.
-
Which is fairly amusing when you consider who they are owned by :D
-
Organising a whole bunch of new uniforms for a one off (and all the costs associated) is pretty ridiculous in itself really!
-
It's similar to that ruddy concert a few years ago to promote green thinking, but the carbon footprint from it was enormous!
I heard Mallya jr saying they had reduced their emissions by 1500 tons. Knowing the scale of work the Mallya steel empire is responsible for, I think that would be like you or I saying we had reduced our emissions by not farting as much, just as we jump in our hum vees and drive to Scotland :D
-
Take that
Go go gayle
-
Which is fairly amusing when you consider who they are owned by :D
I second that
-
There going mad gayle and dilshan
-
gayle is unreal
-
Did gayle do that to prove a point to dilshan because he hit 20 off the previous over?
-
look at gayle go!
-
Oh my lord rudi rudi rudi that was a howler
Just like an Aussie not to walk ;)
-
The second best ever run chase today.
The best T20 chase.
-
The second best ever run chase today.
The best T20 chase.
Yea it was awesome, really enjoyed it
-
Definately not the second best ever run chase but it was a good game
-
And the best bit was that I missed the initial 39 overs!
-
got to say that last over was one of the worst bowled ever - lets bowl big full tosses!
-
did mumbai beat KKR?! i turned it off with a KKR win iminent..?
-
Yep. 21 required off the last over:
4 4 4 4 1 6
-
Dear lord! who hit that?
-
Was mainly Franklin, not sure who scored the winning 6.
-
Franklin and Rayadu were at the crease
-
what are those BAS gloves ( blue color ) used by many Indian player's ?
-
Fantastic game at the moment, down to the last over awesome !
-
Not a bad first over 27/0
That's what I call getting your eye in
-
just seen one of the best boundary catches in the IPL. Pollard caught on the boundary, fielder leaning over the line and takes it one handed infront of the dugout.
Special catch!!
