Certainly looks like a suspect action to me, but I'm no bowling expert!

Just watching Kings XI and think maybe this could be Gilly's last stand?

[sgcricket]

really liked morgan's knock on that pitch. the six he hit off the spinner was sheer timing...he didn't even get to the pitch and was off-balance....wonder how he got so much power on that

[csnew]

is it just me or is Sachithra Senanayake a blatent chucker?

Add Copper to that list. His slower ball is the biggest chuck. So much bending of the arm

Thought the same thing. I'd rather he not play as it's a shame seeing such a legend go out like that.

Saying that, he'll go and smack a 40 ball hundred now!

Yup he's embarrassing himself out there at the moment. Don't think he will drop himself out of the team.
He's also signed up for the west indies T20 competition I think

[jbrommo]

I'm not sure the West Indies T20 will be as good a standard and certainly not as high profile.

I think I saw the best shot I've ever seen in T20 or any cricket for that matter today........... And the floor is open

Steve Smith's shot off Dwayne Bravo?

[Nickauger]

Correct Thomas!

Steve Smith's shot off Dwayne Bravo?

It was a brilliant shot don't get me wrong but I find it funny that suddenly he's the best player in the IPL according to all the Indian commentators. They love to hype up a player!!


I'll just pop this one down here...

[Nickauger]

Don't agree that he's the best player in the IPL, was just a supreme shot! I think Smith's was better!

[wilkie113]

I think Smith has been unlucky to keep missing out in that side, with them loosing a few games. Finch is just a biffer, I think Smith has the ability to play nice shots, he's a very good fielder as well. Albeit he was in the right place to take those catches, still gotta grab them

[the little ripper]

The commentators have been shocking in my opinion. One example springs to mind was when a batter was on around 30 odd off 40 odd balls and the commentators were slagging him off for not being the right player for the situation and that he scores to slow, he then proceeds to hit a few boundaries and gets his 50. The commentators now applaud him for a 'wonderful knock' and heap loads of praise on him, all in the space of around 8 balls.

Disagree about Finch mate, I think he's the right sorta player for the top of the order! Stats don't often lie, and he's got some pretty decent ones!
