Indian Premier League 2024 (22nd March-29th May)

[NYRB]

Making Pakistan fielding look like Ricky Ponting-like.

 

[NYRB]

An all run 4 at Chennai. You dont see that often.

 

[NYRB]

Fair to say Chennai has a large NZ flavour, Gujarat has a large Afghanistan flavour.

 

[NYRB]

Dube 50 up in 22 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Rizvi goes bang first ball for 6 .

 

[NYRB]

Rizvi with a nice cameo here 15 runs off 4 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Sameer Rizvi is the name. Remember that name because this kid can play.

 

[NYRB]

Gujarat penalised for bowling overs slowly, so 1 fielder has to come up.

 

[NYRB]

Chennai post 206/5 and thats a very good score , even on a good batting deck tonight.

 

[NYRB]

The wicket looks a great wicket to bat on here tonight in Chennai but you sense as the tournament goes on , this wicket will be harder to bat on.

 

[NYRB]

The Final will be hosted in Chennai this season:

[NYRB]

Bit of an Aussie flavour tonight with : Head Cumm-ins David

 

[NYRB]

Mumbai only playing the 3 international imports in their first XI tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Head dropped in the 2nd over and Tim David showing his poor form in the field again.

Trav Head doing Trav Head things

 

[NYRB]

Travis Head is already making a difference SRH 40/0 off 3 overs.

 

[akkaps]

To be fair he hit 20 off the 17yo kid

 

[NYRB]

Tim David is a liability in the fielder.

 

[NYRB]

Tim David strikes me as a lazy cricketer that hasnt looked to improve his fielding aspect of his game.

If he wasnt wearing an Australian guernsey, you wouldnt mistake him for being a Pakistan cricketer.

 

[NYRB]

Tim David wasnt going to drop that.

 

[NYRB]

If he dropped that, he should have been deported back to Scotch College.

 

[NYRB]

No jinx, Trav Head is playing for a ton tonight.

 

[akkaps]

Would that still not be a no ball even if it was under? As it pitched off the pitch.
