Paxter Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Speaking of CSK...they just conceded 27 runs of two legal deliveries: 2 6s, 2 6s off no balls, 1 wide. Now I've seen everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even bother going for "Supergiants". One Supergiant and that's all folks. I always wondered how Kolkata Knight Riders got their name, was someone a really big fan of David Hasselhoff TV shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I've seen everything! Stuart Broadis a great bowler IMO and yet he conceded 6 sixes in an over to Yuvraj Singh. How can you judge a team which has made it to the playoffs in every season it has played with ruthless consistency , has the highest win percentage, has the longest serving captain who has won the World Cup, T20 world cup and champions trophy (only one to do so), the best finisher (aforementioned capt cool), only team to defend the title, best chasing team by ONE OVER!!??!? Lungi NGIDI is a promising young SA pacer with great career economy and wicket tally. Don't judge him or his team by one over. Piyush Chawla is Old. Simply couldn't face Sanju Samson's onslaught. I could go on about Csk's records, but I simply don't have the time.

I was only needling RE: CSK. They have made it to the final so many times you couldn't argue that any other team has been better. We aren't accustomed to much IPL passion here! I only watch it to see Warner lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed that for you! Putting Warner's struggles against Broady to one side, the guy is pretty useless outside of home conditions. The current gap between his Away/Home test average is -33 runs...

You’re right - the anti-Christ would probably have more patience. Constantly shuffling around the crease; an exaggerated back lift; never really looking in good form, but nevertheless able to survive. Occasionally getting away a nicely timed shot to the boundary (all along the carpet of course). A real motherfucker to get out. So yeah, Steve Smith is the anti-Christ.

It’s pretty good natured and tongue in cheek, so this is not something you need to worry about. We’re not India and Pakistan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking this up the other day: their last test match was in December 2007. Kumble was captaining India and Younis was in charge of Pakistan. Ishant is I think the only current player to ever experience the test rivalry. For the record...Pakistan has more test wins overall (11-9), with 38 (!) test draws between the nations.
