logged on at the end myself, what an ENDING !

[booth70]

Ganguly wastes too many balls at the top and leaves Steve Smith too much to do at the end......that's been the story of Pune Warriors IPL so far

[booth70]

What will all the IPL bashers in the English media have to say about this?....

Great finish to the Kings XI Punjab at Bangalore game. Punjab needed 6 from 12 and absolutely self destruced, had 3 crazy run outs in the next over, 2 of them in particular were absolute madness. Eventually Punjab needed 2 from 2 and Bangalore pushed everyone in the field up but the Punjab batter smashed a six straigth down the ground.

Also Chris Gayle was unreal again. He hit a 6 that cleared the stadium, straight out of the stadium. Ridiculous.

I think it would be great, but I think there is to many purest in power that will stop it. I have a very good friend (Irish) who has being to three world cups but thinks the IPL is not cricket, he says its a circus, so imagine what the powers to be in England would say.

When the IPL started many said it wouldn't last more than a couple of years!....Ponting and Ganguly in KKR team just 2 months after the 'monkeygate' series of 2008.....Clarke and Ganguly batting together the other night for Pune!!.....Bhajji and Symo in the same team last year!!....KP and Sehwag whacking the ball all over the place the other night against the Royals...the list is endless.....it makes for fascinating cricket and if it is a circus so be it !!

Personally , I think it (that is an English Premier League along the lines of the IPL) will happen pretty soon now that the players association want it

I can't see why T20 and Test cricket cannot co-exist - even in England - after all they invented T20 and the ECB once went crawling to the likes of Stanford!

god bless IPL

Daniel Christian must be the most overrated all rounder I have ever seen in 20/20, he may have bowled tidily for once today but for someone who is supposed to be a good all rounder and you would assume he is when you consider his insane price tag, he can't bat for toffee. Amount of times he has failed for them at the death is ridiculous.

If roles had been reversed and chennai needed 20 of the last over and he was bowling, well Deccan would have been ****ed!

Kumar's slump so far has been awful hasn't it? Parthiv is India's second choice keeper with lots of experience so I suppose he trusts him. Although judging from anything I have seen in this IPL and his few appearances from India, I'm not hugely impressed.

Actually just looked at the scoreboard, Christian went for nearly 9 an over and his 1 wicket that Dhoni somehow missed. Earned his money today!

Duminy should be in the side but its to late now isn't it?
