If only he could perform when it really matters...Watching him perform like this now just infuriates me. Where the hell was he when we needed him in the world cup?

AB needs a partner that can ease the pressure.

Watching the game now on (DD vs RPS), I would rate Morris the best bowling all-rounder SA has produced since Lance Klusener.

Yeah, two games in a row, clearly no edge but given out. Both times he was going well in the 40's. Think he wanted to cry.

Cricket is a tough game when the umpire is against you.

Saw that it appears QdK gets easily rattled, as he kept showing 2 fingers indicating 2 bad decisions as he walked off.

He needs to understand that bad decisions are part of the game even more so in the shorter format.

Put it behind you and move on. He's next innings clearly showed a lack of enthusiasm probably as a result of those poor decisions and he got out cheaply.

Incompetent umpires need to be dealt with...If the ref has a shocker like these guys in the big european football leagues they get send to the lower divisions for a few weeks. These idiots continue as if nothing happened.

The best of umps get it wrong and in all honesty the second decision looked almost certainly out, until super slow mo with the snicko proved otherwise as the bat hit the glove of the keeper.
 
Weather screwing RCB. Looks like a rained out game. Won't do their chances of making the play offs any good.
 
32pm Vijay calls heads, heads it is. Kings XI Punjab opt to bowl. "There's a threat of rain, so we want to chase. This is a brilliant ground to play, the boys have a bit of momentum.

"We're delighted that we're having a 15-over game, which we are excited about. Toss is not in our control, what's in our control is how we can play," says Kohli. "The guys have responded to situations beautifully under a crisis. The need of the hour was to show intensity, we just need to carry that forward
 
Why bother, Chris? :p

3.1 Abbott to Gayle, SIX, that's the shot he's been looking for! This one was right in his arc, too full and enough width outside off for him to swing through the line and hammer it back over the long-off boundary

3.2 Abbott to Gayle, SIX, this one over cover. Too much width and he's just dismissed it from his presence. Length ball this time, and it found Gayle's dead centre of his big broad bat.

3.3 Abbott to Gayle, FOUR, juicy full toss outside off, Gayle swings and ends up slicing it over cover, couple of bounces into the boundary. He wanted to hit it straighter, but gets the desired result nonetheless

Chants of Kohhhhhhhli Kohhhhhhhhhli
