On to the comments section folks!
More Than Just A Game 
2nd over going on. Thankfully Steyn’s opening the bowling along with Kumar. Decent start so far.
Boucher for RCB should be a no-brainer. He has been one of the better finishers in cricket.
All those words on the RCB jersey- White and Mackay, RC, Mcdowells – making me thirsty.
Kallis brought on. Steyn gets to sit after just 1 over. Could it for a change of ends?
Bisla carved that for a six. Quite a shot. Kallis is 1 juiced-up mofo.
Bloody hell. you make a batsman look silly with a bouncer and the ump calls it wide..
why not just bowl underarm to those pansies
haha. Prafs that’s not possible dude. The mongoose bat has been specifically designed to counter the dangers of underarm bowling.
Steyn looking far better today eh?
far far better.. man, helps that the Bisla guy doesn’t look like he can play anything over 135 ks
heck, he’s getting stuck into kallis now
Bisla seems to do well with shorter deliveries and width. Just cramp him down. Maybe get Vinay kumar to stiffle the flow a bit. RCB need a breakthrough here. Sanga, Yuvi, ,Jayawaradene to follow… ummm.. not good!
Kallis’s bowling figures now looks Balaji-esque.
That’s it Anil, just keep it steady. I suppose the Jacque Kallis experiment for the day has stalled for now.
yep. i’d second that… not much thought going into the bowling…
It’s yuvi that’s more of a concern, to RCB.. Jaya hasn’t done much in t20..
Bopara can be a handful if he gets going
We should be seeing Vinay Kumar shortly. He had a fairly good domestic season, and can keep a good line. But of course…this is T20.
Just unleash that rabid dog Praveen Kumar on the sidelines and let him bite a couple of the KXI punjab players.
good call, here’s VK
let dishan play the scoops ravi..
Alright, so Vipul Sharma is a left arm spinner. Interesting move to counter the number of right handers in the RCB team.
Vinay bowled a good first over. The wide was a little unfair, Bopara moved to the off-side to play that little paddle scoop.
Damn, there’s width by kumble, and there’s bisla. Yuvi’s padded up to come in next.
Ouch! Poor Kumble. That’s gonna be a bruise. Won’t help if you decide to follow Kirsten’s dossier , step-by-step 🙂
Watching Kumble field off his own bowling is quite amazing. He’ll do things not even Jonty can do!!
yeah.. old fella’s still like a jack in the box off his own bowling
Shit, this Bisla sure can hit through the line really well. Punishes width too.
lemme check this bisla guy on cricinfo
Priety, Don’t dance. Just don’t.
Given Bopara ample time to get his eye in and unleash later. I hate Priety. Where’s that other doped out ex-bf of hers? He sold off his stakes , didn’t he?
Kohli comes in to bowl, straight from the beauty parlour.
Guess Bisla graduated from the Dilshan school of batting..
ahhhhh, my eyes… my eyes… someone get Zinta off screen, .. NOW!!
Where’s the liquor baron?
Must be chillin wid the ladies..
Oh yea… Kingfisher calender ladies….dayum!!!
This is just R-rated stuff. I hope the kids are not watching this beatdown.
finally a breakthrough!
yuvi playing some ugly pull shots
That’s Yuvi. If its his day, it looks extremely good. If not, he looks like a baseball player.
Goddamned Bopara. Like you said Prafs, he’s a monster.
Holy Crapshit batman. Is he the same screwball who wasn’t even keen on being here in the first place?
The thing with Jayawardene and Sangakkara is that they really play Kumble well. For some reason, I always recall them and the rest of the lankans having little trouble with him. Jayawardene showing some innovation.
No.. Jaya, you’re supposed to be the aesthetically pleasing kind… no reverse hoicks please
Ahh Modi… won’t even spare little breaks between the 5th and 6th deliveries would you? Stuff it up with ads.
Oh boy, I hope Pandey shines. Make it a “Pan-day” hyuk hyuk.
Holy moly…..Bopara’s really loaded up on the Paneer butter masala today.
Thanks Steyn. Thanks a LOT.
What’s with the Lankans? All of them seem to have some innovative shots up their sleeve.
Damn, now we’ll have to see Priety Zintacize (hug and kiss) Bopara and Jayawardene after the innings. Somewhere, Ness must be watching .
204 to win for RCB.
Kallis, Pandey, Uthappa, Dravid, Boucher, Morgan …you’ve got your work cut out boys.
Shots of Brad Hogg playing dumb charades and the pitch being swept.
Bopara gets the Orange Cap. Wow that’s one ugly cap right there. Who’d wanna be the top scorer!
Question, does the same cap get passed around? 🙂
Ouch, Bopara makes a tongue-in-cheek comment about Kumble’s googly turning , with a smile. Get PISSED Jumbo!!!
204.. tough..but who’s in the bowling lineup for kings?
3 of the folks from the horrendous picture – Abdulla, Slappedsanth, Pathan, plus you got Piyush (leggie), Vipul (left arm). Yuvi , Jayawardene pitching in.
Awww, Priety sharing her worldly cricketing and fashion knowledge, isn’t that cute? @!$@!%!@% Salwar vs Jersey?! WTF !!!
i wanna see how pandey and kohli play this one… made a right mess last time around
Pandey and Kallis open. Grab the opp , Pandey.
no VRV ‘manboobs’ singh?
Hahaha ! Manboobs! good one. Manboobs got his ‘roids stolen by kallis.
ahhahhha… i think lalit set a limit of only one pair on display per match
hehehe yeah dude, apparently Priety, Shilpa and the rest of the b-town brigade tend to develop an inferiority complex..
ooh… appam on now… ravi talking about that seam as usual..
When Appam comes in to bowl , there are only 2 chatters. 1 is Ravi (or someone else talking about the seam position), and the 2nd is Appam, talking to himself.
No Yuvi, there’s no jinxing. If you’d stop partying the night before and concentrate on games, you’d do better.
What a shot from Kallis!
russel rubbing it in,into irfan…
says he’s known as yusuf’s brother now, and how time has changed for irfan
I tend to feel bad for Irfan. He has been short-changed a bit. He’s actually quite steady with the bat and bowl. In the shorter form,Yusuf is more impactful no doubt, but Irfan more consistent.
Ravi Shastri says that what they need is a good partnership. Very insightful.
Sree wants his mommy
Slappedsanth gets a little disturbed with the crowd noise. Well synchronized.
Kaif spotting! (not the katrina version)
kallis is wasting away the powerplay.. not to mention occupying too much of screenspace
True, but bro, them manboobs don’t come easy. It comes at a price which we have to pay.
Sweetly played by Kallis. Step it up now , guys!
monster, that one from pandey!!
Damn pandey! anyway, atleast a start.
OTHERS MUST PLAY!
I hope Uthappa’s downed a few shots, courtesy Mallaya. We need him as stoned as possible.
Hang in there Kallis. RCB need Manboobs to stay till the end in this one they are to have a chance.
Uthappa making me eat crow. A massive massive hit , followed by a 4!
Uthappa…goddamn!!! Sreesanth looks like he’s going to cry anytime. one more delivery boy.
run home sree.. uthappa is coming for you… well, bowl the last ball before you run moron
Uthappa 2.0 . He’s just a maniac when in touch. But just like Sreesanth, he has 1 good game followed by 3 pretty bad ones.
Oops Priety, no more cricketing wisdom??
Uthappa gets his half-ton. I hear Sreesanth pooped his pants after that over.
O oh…Jinxed him. Damn me. Screw me.
Why not Morgan? Kohli can play the shots, but Morgan’s a better bet I thought.
definitely eoioeioen morgan
Kaif dropped that. He aint getting a Priety smoochie tonight.
how much did you pay for kaif, preity?
This is going to be a close finish. Sharma better get this over right.
Sharma sure did get it right…. for RCB 🙂
go yak… show them not to make fun of manboobs
Well done Kallis, wonder what Mallaya has in store for him.
Trevor Penney (asst coach Punjab XI) and Priety were too busy comparing each others manicure jobs to bother about this game.
this is getting over fast
Manboobs gets the MoM surely. What an Innings.
Impetus provided by Uthappa and Sreesanth.
Great win for RCB. Prafs, tune back in here during the next game in 40 mins. I’ll get a new thread up for the prime time game – CSK vs KKR. Early predictions?
CSK for sure..
