What were TNT thinking? Tie the match and face MALINGA in Super over? That was EPIC FAIL all over.

 

And lol at MI, pathetic batting. I hope they dont win this CLT20 based on pure luck and opposition's blunders.

right.. but i also fear for the youngster that he is, with almost every pundit calling for him to be in the team. That's got to get to him and we might just miss out on a potential for the future. His time will come..when it has to.

javagal srinath, arguably india's best seamer (and quickest) ever had to sit out in his initial playing days when he was even quicker because a certain overrated all-rounder had a few records to break. varun's USP so far is his pace and nothing else, whats the point in bringing in a few years later when our seam bowlers lose a good couple yards of pace *cough munaf, ishant, zaheer cough*

:eyebrow:

 

I'm assuming you've secretly taken 435 test wickets

 

:doh:

 

Perfect example of an armchair critic :clapping::majesty: To badmouth a cricketer applauded by the whole cricketing community world-wide. Dude you must've had a one night-stand with that rajeev paan-pasand clown on twitter to make lame *sensationalist* remarks like that :majesty:

Are you serious or simply in denial? If it were so much more easier to score 100 runs in 10 overs then it is to score 300 runs in 50, tell me why is it that we can literally count the number of matches on our fingertips in which participating teams have scored 100 runs in the first 10 overs(batting first or second) since the dawn of ODI

because those were 50 over matches, is it so hard to understand

if those were 10 over matches, a lot of them would have had MORE than 100 runs scored

it is always tougher to play longer with a high run rate, the more a batsman plays the more are the chances of an unplayable delivery, some outstanding fielding or simply a mistake on his end

in a 10 over match the top order has to play just like 10 deliveries each, even if the connect three hits they score 12 to 18 in those 10 plus whatever the singles and doubles, not a big deal

 

Maybe you didn't notice but he's dropped more than he's caught of late.

i never expected you to understand, haters will hate

 

Also yesterdays match, 2 required on last ball and not a close in field, fail strategy :doh:
