Match 23

Difficult one to decide on who shall win today. Kings xi Punjub vs Rajasthan Royals.
Kxip is on a victory roll with only one lost to their name. They are playing on their home ground mohali. Preity was not at the match when her team won against DC she was in Dubai women awareness function. This is going to Kxip fourth match where RR it would be their sixth match.

RR has lost two against the same team why I don't know but they want to bounce back with Warne vs Gilchrist he has plans up his sleeve. His lady love I wonder if she going to be there. But after two quick losses for RR plus a match that got wash out by the rain they sit on 5 points. But Kxip has played a match less than RR. There more chance of winning for Kxip than RR they look like a very dangerous new team that does not need to be messed up by Warne but we got to wait and see what happens.

What a match that was Warne win the toss and bowl first what a mistake did he ever watch KXIP play and with the bat they are dangerous. Guess he did not see any matches of these. But what a batting performace Kxip pull through the highest total of in this year IPl 195. Now who can chase down a score like that in T20. Know one but RR still Botha is out he said he has a small fracture but he does need to bowl they left him out. He just need to bat because Botha has got the runs on the board for RR if they going to leave him out they going to loose all the time.

RR bowling, fielding is so weak don't know what happen to them they got a huge bang on their head. They got two quick wickets but it was No balls if you bowl no balls expect something must be going on. Their batting still not up to standard any more.

Elizabeth Hurly was their shouting for her love but he did not do much few sixes of his bowling with only one wicket for him. He getting old and he can't captain a side team any more gilly he two years younger than he is.

It was a really great win by the team in red they really out played the men in blue.

Match 21 & 22

This is going to be a super duper cricket match the best teams of the IPL is Pune Warriors and Mumbai India. They are both sitting with one lost who is it going to be.I say MI shall win them. Every one who win the toss always bowl first but that not how it went today. PUne won the toss and would bat first. how many runs can they put on the board against MI.

Only 118 runs Yuvi the best batsmen goes out for a duck. Wicket after wicket all the time tell they got all out. I did not need to watch this I was busy but I would watch Mumbai Indians innings.

I fell asleep I was tired and yeah mumbai Indians won by 7 wickets next match the K's match who is going to win it both have found their form I am going with KOchi hope they can win KKR.

they did just that what I want them to do KTK won KKR. They where the better team after all. KKR just could chase down 130 runs tonight their opening and their top order collapsed and so did the others not much a partnership but KTK played very well better than KKR wish them the best for the upcoming games.

Match 19 & 20

Delhi Dare Devils are playing at their home ground and they only won one out of the three played so far can they bring a second victory on their home ground. The diffrence between DC has played four this would be their match number five where DD just played 3 and this would be their fourth.

DC played four and won one and lost three. DD played three won one lost two. DC got more looses they do need to win.

DC won the toss and choss to bat. They got 168 in 20 overs if they did not get the wicket of Sunny and Sanga they would of got 180+ anyway but they doing well so far took three wickets just waiting for styen to take a wicket. DC could score what they want to post but then in the end DD could not chase the score as the wickets where falling am so happy for them.

upnext is RR vs RCB it's raining in Bangalore so I hope rain stops soon. It was raining to much and play could not even start Match abandoned without a ball bowled. Elizabeth Hurly was their to support her lover Shane Warne but due to the rain she could see him on the field playing. As my mother said she not even divorce and she going after another man sound really sick anyway that's their lives.

Match 18

Thank goodness their only one match on today. CSK vs KTK. Csk has won two and lost one and KTK lost two and won one can KTK do the same what they did against MI few days again.

So what has has happen this cricket match went on until early hours of the morning because of rain delay.

I was geting very sleepy and I thought their still time for the match so I went to go sleep a afternoon nap was so lovely now am wide awake. I woke up 5pm and I thought oh the match is on am missing same overs of the first innings. But when I looked they stop it was rain delay and CSK was batting. The rain took an hour and half to decide to go stop. 6:45pm play was resume and Duck worth Lewis falls a huge role it rains. 17 overs for each side.

CSK got 131 runs. For a DWL method falling into place it always go in favour of the team batting first but hey good news went in favour of the home team KOchi. They really have some new things up their sleeve. With a opening batsman like Brendon McCullum who can hit every ball and then makes it easy for the others. A victory at home for Kochi Tuskers Kerala it move's them on the top four on the table they just kicked CSK out of that seat. It was past mid night in India but the party just got started the fans going to celebrate their team got a win at home.


Brendon McCullum is the Man of the Match. Brendon: "when the rain started it was disappointing, thankfully we got a game. I try and remain true to my game and play to my instincts, sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't. Parthiv and Mahela played well. We have some quality players, Hodge and Jadeja coming in to finish off was brilliant."

Match 16 & 17

Pune Warriors India the new team that just got into IPL. Has won their two games and would they win their third game. RR & MI won both their games but then lost their third. Would Delhi Dare Devils surprise them with a win.
PWI is on top of the log and DD is right at the bottom so I would like them to win they need to get the points on the board.


Well I said some thing is going to happen in this match and it did. Sewag won the toss an had bowl first. PWI got off to a start with a flyer Jeese Ryder oh my werid was hitting every ball into the crowd I thought how these guys are batting this can go to 200 runs. The spinners come on and it restrict them to score that amount so they got 187.

This big score in 20 overs are not so much any more any one can chase it down. The Kxip did it the other day so can the dd and that was my first tweet when they start to chase. Warner & Sewag got a good partnership going but then he wicket fell. An then Sewag depart and wickets where just falling we thought oh no they must loose but the tail ender pulled out the first victory.


DD from the bottom of the table won the top of the table. Now RCB moves a place down because they have three losses.



RR vs KKR they are playing their second match so quickly why I don't know. Both would be playing their fourth match. Both of them have won two match and lost one. Now one of them must loose.

KKR won them on Friday and want to they do they get another victory. Gambir won the toss and chose to field every one what's to chase. They bowled very well field so good that they got the run outs. Bowled out Royals for 80 runs in 15 overs they could even reach 20 overs. Dravid and Botha was drop this game at least Botha get's same runs on the board.

This was a cruise for KKR loosing Kallis early was not a problem and getting another wicket Gambir the captain pull off another victory for his team.
SRK is a very happy man they win there third match an with just one lost.

KKR for the very first time in iPL history they are on top of the table would they remain their hope so.

Match 14 & 15

CSK has lost their last game against KXIP. They should make a come back with the Captain of India team he shall pull out all his strings. I am backing CSK today hope they win. They be playing against RCB that has lost both their match's and only won their first match.

Would RCB fight to win or well it be one of their days again that they would lose. CSK won the toss an they would bat first. Csk put up a big total of 160 runs I think. I was not watching the game I was watching the tennis Rafael in the semi finals it was a 3 hour long game. But RCB lost it's third game by 21 runs.

The tennis was very long but their was a second match. DC vs KIXP. Gilly won the toss and bowl first. They did well with their bowling and DC got a chance to hit big but it was enough runs to chase down. Paul Valthaty took four wickets haul the first player to get four wickets and a century and half.

The batting of Kxip was terrific Gilly and Valthaty blow that crowd away an smashed that ball left right and centre. The highest opening partership in the IPL. But they where cruising even if they got wickets. Preity was not their she in dubai women with breast cancer a fun raiser she missed out on a thrilling win by her team. I did not see Ness Wadia is he gone with her.

Kxip claimed their second thrilling victory by 8 wickets. Paul Valthaty is the Man of the Match. Paul: "Probably I am a calm person. It was important that I forgot my previous innings, new game, new day. Happy that I did it. Honestly my family and friends helped me out. Adam spoke to me as well before we came to the ground. So far so good. Previous innings I remained not out. I would not dwell too much in to this. So far so good. It is a long tournament. I will try to take each game as it comes. To be on par with the god of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, is great.

The eighth day of the IPl is gone and match fourteen an fifteen is done more victories to be on again with the Monte Carlo final I would not miss that.

Good night

Match 12 & 13

There are two match's on today.

Rajsthan Royals won both their games and would they look for a third win. Kolkata Knight Riders won their last match and they looked like a team that can go far in this tournament. RR always won KKR but can today change it. The Australians are back and they done with the ODi tour of Bangladesh. They are playing their first game in IPL4.

Shane Watson that made a record in ODI 185 runs with 15 fours & 15 sixes. What is their to expect from him in T20 would he survive tell the end or shall his team mate Brett Lee bowl him. Shakib Al Hasan is in for KKR we do expect wickets from him also plus with the bat. Let's wait and see what happens.

KKR won the toss and they would bowl first most of the teams won of chasing. KKR played very well they can get very far I mean win each game from now on words. RR played well also Watson did not open he come in number 3 why I don't know he only made 22 runs. RR total was 159 runs. With the old KKR could not chase down that score. But with the new KKR with Kallis at their side they in for a big suprise this year.

Kallis not out 80 runs off 60 balls he takes back the Orange Cap the leading run scorer. Gambir he scored 75 runs off 44 balls their was some drama.
Trivedi to Gambhir, (no ball) FOUR, Gambhir has been caught on the deep midwicket boundary but the umpire has called no-ball because there were only three fielders in the circle, when there should have been four. Aleem Dar is on the ball and has spotted it. It was a short ball and Gambhir had pulled it flat and hard, straight to the fielder on the boundary. It's been given four as well, I'm not sure why. There's a lot of chat out there now. Botha realised it was no-ball, perhaps, and threw the ball towards bowler's end but everyone else was celebrating the wicket and no one collected the ball, which then went to the boundary.

SRK had on a Yemeni Scarf on he try to tie it like them he did do it correct I think he did it him self but it was close but perfect for SRk second win.

Next game is KTK have not won any thing and this their third match they playing against a tough team MI.

Sachin bat right through got his 100 runs and earn the orange cap for the most runs in IPL. It's his first 100 in IPL. KTK always wins the toss and the games never falls there way guess again it going to happen here also. MI put up a huge score of 182. If the openers bat really well play in the shots they can chase down that score if Kixp did it the other day so can KTK.

Play to win not to loose come on you can do it. And they did just that what a game that was. McCullum & Jaya really made very good opening partnership. I had no doubt that KTK shall loose this game I had faith in them since they first played. If they keep this up they could win there other match's.

It was so sad when MI lost at there home ground and the little master scored 100 runs in first IPL. And ends up on the loosing side but that does not matter KTK need to win and they did it in style. Just two wickets taken by Malinga and that's all they where struggling with their bowling Pollard was hit for so much shame but he saved a six. KTK won by 8 wickets

We got some good games coming on the weekend. Good night from me.
