Ishant Sharma's first two balls were wides or in the corridor of uselessness.

Kings XI looking more and more like RCB

Pants glovework has been sharp for a guy who has been out injured for best part of eighteen months

[NYRB]

KKR lose 3 wickets inside the powerplay against SRH


KKR 32/3 off 23 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Dont know why you would save Russell and Rinku at 7 and 8 for KKR

 

[NYRB]

Salt 50 up in 38 balls in Game 3.

 

[NYRB]

Dre Russ 50 up in 20 balls.

 

[NYRB]

KKR 200 up off the 114th ball. SRH are totally unravelling right in front of our eyes.

 

[NYRB]

KKR post 208/7 vs SRH

 

[NYRB]

83 runs were scored off that last 5 overs from KKR. That was some insanity.

 

[NYRB]

Dre Russ is on another level...........

 

[NYRB]

SRH need 104 off the last 9 overs, and Klaasen is in the sheds

 

[NYRB]

Might not be the worst wicket for SRH to lose now.


SRH need 12 runs per over now with 7 in hand. (last 50 balls)

 

[NYRB]

its game on in the last over

SRH Need 13 off the last 6 balls and Klaasen is facing.

 

[NYRB]

Dont forget Shahbaz , he has played a good batsman and robin hand here.

 

[NYRB]

Klaasen has to depart and now the odds on KKR to win this are higher.


SRH need 5 off the last ball and dont rule out the super over.

 

[NYRB]

What an absolute humdinger we have from India on a Saturday night. Great endorsement for the sport of cricket.

 

[NYRB]

Can Patty Cummins be a hero?

 

[NYRB]

KKR do it! its a famous win to . Cummins swings and misses.

 

[Cleavy]

even "bad Starc" couldn't stop them from winning

 

[akkaps]

You could says that Cummins had the better night over Starc

But fk, our death bowling was trash. Otherwise that was ours
