Just caught some of it. Stand looks roughly the same standard as first class cricket here, but with the likes of Steyn/Amla playing. Cape Cobra's recovered well on a slow deck to post 158-4, scoring 100 in the last 10. Pollard smacked 43 off 23 balls. Looks like a good game in store.
-
I am now.
Despite watching all England's Odis and most of the aus test, I've not noticed an advertisement for this, otherwise would have been watching from the start
-
Waiting for the Bath game to start so give this a big bash,,, pun intended. And that was a lovely shot!
-
Stern looks different gravy.
-
Had it set for Sky+, just stuck it on, big fan of the Knights shirts, and thats about all i can say right now as ive only watched 5 balls so far
-
Looks like sky are showing the whole of this years competition.
KP playing later on for the Dolphins
-
10 and 1.30 start live. I'm watching the test mainly as I can't find my remote!!!
-
Will watch some later because I miss KP
-
I assume it's on Sky Sports channel?
-
Sky sports 5
-
It's on record because the test match is on, not swapping slap and giggle for what's shaping up to be a decent test. I'll watch KP later
-
6 over slog coming up
-
6 over slog coming up
6 over game ???
-
Ingram teed off
50 off 19
-
Quite the ending here...
-
Super over off the last ball!
-
And we don't get to watch it because Pietersen is batting :-[ >:(.

Different game, super over is the silly 6 over each game. KP is batting now

Yes but I meant sky have cut away from the super over game to go to the Pietersen game instead.

Fair enough to me. I'd prefer to see KP batting myself
-
Seems we didn't miss much, Knights out for 0 leaving 1 required off the super over.

Lol, yeah heard that. Cracking way to decide a game :( why jot just draw ffs
-
Kp in ball 5
Sky sports 3 now
-
That 6 from KP! Pure class!
-
His hitting looks sweet.
His running on th other hand....... Lol. Reckon that's lack of match practice?
-
Is he hitting it so...so...nicely? :D
-
I wish they'd just let him play T20s for England, genuinely exciting batsman - love watching him bat

Pigs will fly before that ever happens again. Which is a shame.
-
This is turning into a rather drab batting affair...
-
The spinners have done a decent job of draggin this back. To be fair only Kp not dragged into a stupid shot yet.
-
KP BULLET
-
This is some pretty average cricket
-
THAT WIDE BALL
-
The term carrying the team comes to mind... haha
-
Yeah Kp looking world class, but he may just be county level compared to everyone else on show!!
Nice 50 though.
-
Vintage KP here! Chance for a 100 maybe #bringbackkp ;)
-
Two 6s in two balls, the man is still an absolute machine.
-
Is he playing in the big bash this year?

Yeah still with the Stars. Essentially if there's a T20 comp, he's in it

Which I have absolutely no complaints about, especially when it means every game will be on Sky (and on in the office!!!)

KP giving it some absolute welly here
-
Kp 100!

Absolutely amazing!!
Dotb care what the standard of the game is, a t20 100 is a t20 hundred. Absolutely belting innings and some fantastic timing!!
Kp is still the man.
666 still 2 balls left.
-
He's gone mad, incredible scenes
-
That's a serious knock tbf. Still think the quality of this shows the English t20 comp isn't as bad as everyone moans about though.
-
Amazing knock. He still has it!
We could have used him today, his offspin ;)
-
This is some pretty average cricket
Have you seen how average ALL the 2020 comps are?? All are utter Tonk class wise

The IPL used to be bloody awful, I assume it's improved but I stopped watching after the novelty wore off you realise just how tacky the whole thing is. The English comp isn't bad to be fair, and the Big Bash is good cricket. Was impressed last year, every side had at least a couple of proper pace bowlers and most a good quality spinner, played on quick pitches. Very good for a domestic tournament.
-
I agree with the Big Bash comment above. For me it's easily the most watchable 20/20 comp to watch, more of a contest between bat and ball than the tedious circus that is the IPL, also think the commentary team they've put together is phenomenal

Is it the cricket that makes he big bash good or the atmosphere (seems jovial and not serious) and the commentary team being so good?? (Oh add in some legends like flintoff, KP, hussey still involved)
-
That first 6 from KP was just effortless. Timing to perfection
-

The atmosphere and packaging of it is a big contributor to making it an enjoyable watch to be fair, but the cricket on show is also solid.

Bit of both I guess, the pitches are better in my opinion so that helps with a contest between bat and ball rather than a game of glorified baseball. Add that to the fact that I dislike watching cricket in India as I find the continuous din of the crowd annoying, it like having 50,000 five year olds round for a birthday party

Another 100 for KP today. 2 games, 2 big knocks.
-
Why were sky not showing that game
2nd 100 in a row (off 45 balls this one) and can't get in England side
-
100* off 45 balls
-
Miss you KP
-

Recall for the t20 world cup?
-
Not that I'd have accepted it in his position, but he'd have taken on that ODI/T20 consultancy job I wouldn't have ruled it out...
-
Not a chance as England too up there own backside
-
Top top trolling from KP.
Keep it going please!
-
The thing is Strauss won't bite. Bet Bayliss must be gutted he'll never have him at his disposal...
-
KP knows how to time things. England's and the paying publics loss.. Now we get to watch moeen, bell, bairstow, butler.. Hummmm
-
Well played Kp
How many runs has he scored across Al formats this year despite playing sod all games and not bothering with practice for months on end??
Dudes an extrme talent. Just a shame it's been so badly managed from all sides.
-
Always been master of timing, that's part of what makes him a great. Most enjoyable batsman to watch I've ever seen, maybe alongside de Villiers.

You've sort of said what part of the problem is. He hardly plays, and that's his own choice to do that. I'm not so sure he is/was as serious about playing for England as he makes out. After reading his book and other things I sort of feel sorry for him and feel he could/should still be in the England fold, but playing a handful of games in England and playing all of the big money t20 tournaments isn't gonna get him anywhere and he knows that.
-
KP's been practicing on the golf course nearly everyday!
He's still got it and would walk into this England line up. Shame the fans don't get to see him entertain in an England shirt!!
An entertainer who puts bums on seats!
-
Can KP rack up some more runs today. Live on Sky
-
Hit a couple of fours already...

He looks in bloody good knick.

Except for the edge that nearly carried but let's not mention that

South African commentators wanting him in there test side.......lol
-
One of them is not his greatest fan
Com1 "kp feeling good as he is home in Durban"
Com2 "home? Home? Home is London isn't it?
Com1 "well kp will have a decision to make who to support in Boxing Day test"
Com2 " I think he has some lions on his arm so we know the answer"
Fun times
-
Bit village with the one saying they should have dropped the catch to stop kp getting in
-
It's too easy!! That ones out of the ground! Surely another 100 here
47 of 25
-
Does this show how poor domestic cricket is
Kp having a net here
Gayle did same thing in our t20
Or is it just certain players make others look average?
-
I think we all know county level is a huge step from international.
Kp is still at international level as a player so is making the domestic lot look ridiculously average .
Had England or himself managed to manage his ego, you'd think he'd have broken so so many records on the international scene.
-
Strauss won't be enjoying this commentary at all!
-
The tweet about the boxing day test made me chuckle.
He's still a world class player. Huge shame England couldn't find a way to manage him as a player. Confidence and arrogance come hand in hand when you have to be the best at what you do. Ego only cannot be blamed for his exclusion from the England squad.
Would be great to see him back in an England shirt, be it t20 ODI or test. We need him back. End of.
-
KP's back in and looking in good form again! His last game for the dolphins
Didn't take long for the commentators to say that he should be playing for England
-
Top tip, if you are going to take a fielder on make sure it isn't Sybrand Englebrecht.
-
pietersens timing is looking amazing again. Serious form at mo.
-
50 up without breaking much of a sweat. Suret not another 100 on the cards
Making a slow pitch look very easy!
-
Levi here got 60-odd and out, and his opening partner has 2!!!

-
Anyone know why KP is off back home now?
People want him playing 5 day cricket for England and he won't even play a full t20 tournament which is all's he's bothered about anyway.
-
He is off to Australia for the big bash.
-
That starts next month though. Assume he's got other business ventures outside cricket
-
He wasn't asked to play in last years ram slam so signed a multi year deal with Melbourne for the big bash.
This year they did want him for the ram slam but it was always gonna be she or as big bash starts next month.
Does he only care about t20? I don't think he does. But he knows his body is on the Devine and ha knee issues, when he was told he had a chance with England he played 4 day cricket, as soon as he was again told he didn't have a chance.
He took himself back to the format that both pays the most and does not effect his body as much.
At mid 30s your not gonna travel the world playing the 4 day game knowing you have no chance of ever playing a test again.
-
That doesn't look good for Levi! Hit on the back of the head from a throw from the boundary.
-
The cricket being played in this game is very very poor.
-
Surely viljoen must be close to getting a SA call up. Bowling some real gas 150kph+. Hurried KP up in the earlier games too
-
Dolphins struggled to win a game without KP but he's back for the semi's. Should be batting soon
-
Guessing KP will be in at #3
-
He usually is.
Sat waiting patiently.
-
Van Wyk needs to hurry up and get out! 7 of 15!
-
Good job del port is smoking it
-
Miller at 3 not Kp.
Van wyk kicked on to fifty. His six over cow was ridicolous. That bat has some middle!
-
No Kp at 4 either, scoring rate has gone down too. Probably going to cost them. Miller struggling
-
Kp is in at 4??? Nearly caught first ball.
Also did you notice van wyk, accusing the spinner of chucking it.
-
What was that flick!!!
Massive!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Levi don't give an eff
-
Levi absolutely destroying them here.
SA might as well have opened with him in India at test. He's have our scored the test by time he skied one!
-
What a sweep
-
Levi's cracking 85 comes to an end.
Have they got enough left to get the other 47 of 38???
-
What a cracking game this!
-
Surely a massive choke from the Cobras. They only needed 30 of 30.
Levi must be spewing
-
What a cracking game this!
Not half! I'm enjoying it tremendously and with 2 balls left still have no idea who's gonna win.
My missus just asked me to nip her somewhere. Not a chance was the answer!
-
Choke extreme
Why did dolphins put Miller in before kp
Got out of jail
-
That was some bottle job, but for that young 19 year old to hold his nerve as well is some serious going, at 19 I couldn't of bowled my team into a t20 final!
-
I could've bowled the oppo into the final easy
-
For Those unfortunate not to have sky or other coverage of the ram slam.

Dolphins batting in the final. Much needed bowling added to their line up with Tahir and Abbott
-
KP :(
-
Dropped del port who hit a faster than run a ball fifty opening.
Guy that's replaces going so slow van wyk and Pieterson have thrown there wickets away trying to make up for it.
Reckon that change may have cost them this game

Yeh he's been using one in the RamSlam for the last 2 seasons now 👍

@Ayrtek Can you get him to send me one of his dp bats over? Pwetty please

Sadly not on 1st name terms with him as the lid was organised through a 3rd party 😢 If he wins the final I'll fire him a tweet and see if he's feeling generous haha

How to win a final in 1 over, well played young man!
