I think Raina needs a pre batting calming routine - His first few runs are suicidal in most matches. And Parthiv had a lot of luck yesterday.
But otherwise a nice performance -- though Balaji/Joginder need to bowl better.
I think RD should play a Graeme Smith kind of role for RCB.
RS,
Agree with you on Raina, Parthiv,Balaji and Joginder.
Yesterday, RD appears to have lost it. He was moving to his left and trying to flay at every ball.
I think he should have come up the order and played himself in before trying his pinch hitter impressions.
But then with Kallis in the team it may well bottle up the RCB chase.
WHY DID CHALLENGERS NOT PLAY STYEN.TAYLOR SHOULD TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY. MOUTHAPPA CONTINUES TO LOOK A BAD EXCHANGE. MUMBAIS GAIN IS BANGALORES LOSS. DRAVID TRIED TO ANCHOR THE TEAM BUT TO NO AVAIL.
HEYDEN CONTINUES TO DEFY DESCRIPTION. HE PLAYED AS IF HE WAS PLAYING WITH HIS KIDS IN HIS BACKYARD.
lviss,
Those are imponderables of cricket.:)
