How classy was that? And a good ball to end his innings.

Klaassy

Jesus SRH is bad. Is Markram just a bad captain ? He has not been scoring much either.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Faf has been impressive.

He hasn't been great. With RCB being so top heavy, Phillips taking the catch may have made a difference?

Edit: Happy RCB took it though as I'd like to see Faf build on that orange cap total. How is he not in the Proteas?

 

[Luke7777]

Faf did have a bit of luck .... 1st the dropped catch and then the well taken catch of the 2nd bouncer in the over... he's not one to let those gifts go to waste

No set opening pair... like all the other teams has .... and fire Brian Lara to start with SRH has some purchasing to do in the next auction... maybe someone like Padikkal and stick with him. Or Fin Allen (and let Brook go) if they want to go international. Maybe Aiden himself at the top.... anything just to get some consistency up there

PBKS 4 down

PBKS 4 down

Bad discipline from RR. Really gave it back to Punjab in the last 4 overs. Par score?

Edit: Took it as, they should have. Equally bad discipline.

SRH should've had more

200 after 20

Only caught the last over. Why was Markram batting so late? Collapse?

Nope. Klaasen and Phillps came in at 3 and 4, but didn't do too much damage this time.

 

[L-Dog]

Wish Brevis and Stubbs got some game time for MI

 

[Dan C]

And SRH thought 200 will be enough ... pffft

 

[Dan C]

That was a hiding .. two overs to spare.

Well played innings by Green. Let's hope rain is done for RCB game.

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Positive start. Though I never root for a team, I'd like to see RCB to go through, if just to see Faf cement his position as batsman.

 

[Dan C]

Eish 2 x 100 for Kohli ( in consecutive matches )

And suddenly up to second in orange cap. Still 100 behind Faf though

I think he had something like 3 ducks, can't recall. Damn this tournament is a long one.

Got to give it to him. He's reaching top form at the right time.
