The average score in a 50 over match at Sharjah in the 90s was 230. This is how much cricket has changed.
Different pitches too mind. They have been absolute roads @ Sharjah so far this IPL.The average score in a 50 over match at Sharjah in the 90s was 230. This is how much cricket has changed.
That Indian core of Shaw, Iyer & Pant means they can dominate for a long time if they're sensible with their overseas players.can’t see beyond Delhi for the title. Such a fantastic team.
We will bottle it in the playoffs. I just want us to reach the final at least.can’t see beyond Delhi for the title. Such a fantastic team.
Maybe not.Great over by Russell at the death.
Is it weird to think that's underpar?
220 is par at Sharjah, chasing teams come close but S.B.Pressure is a factor. Punjab just shat the bed.Maybe not.
Still think we'll see 250 posted and chased at Sharjah though.
Who lets dinesh karthik captain ahead of a proven international world cup winning captain. Poor stuff by KKR who have a very good squad to even win the title if they sort their tactics.Shithead tactics cost KKR here.
Correct, baffling indeed.Who lets dinesh karthik captain ahead of a proven international world cup winning captain. Poor stuff by KKR who have a very good squad to even win the title if they sort their tactics.
Maybe, but I think we'll probably see a game where two teams' big hitters get in and run riot; not sure there's any score that's safe in the last 5 and even today with KKR fecking up constantly they'd probably have fancied getting 31 off the last two with Morgan and Tripathi set.220 is par at Sharjah, chasing teams come close but S.B.Pressure is a factor.

That's basically been India's problem for the last 4 years in ODIs. They waste the powerplays at the top, starve their best batsman of the strike and then put a feckton of pressure on the lower order to blast them a great score (in the last 10 overs when you've got the most players outside of the 30 yard circle).https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...eed-be?platform=amp&__twitter_impression=true
Some stats to quantify what I've been banging on about all tournament.
Very interesting stuff. I think where this first became apparent to me was when England scored 480+ in an ODI and Root got pushed down to 7. Obviously in ODIs you are going experience more variance in conditions etc. but it was so striking watching Roy, Bairstow, Hales and Morgan just relentlessly attack.https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...eed-be?platform=amp&__twitter_impression=true

I think the only thing I'd say for benching Russell is that it scares teams having him down the order and it probably gives you more favourable match ups earlier in the innings, although if you're not looking to take advantage of them to get ahead of the RR (as KKR weren't) then it's pointless.Very interesting stuff.

Even KKR were a bit guilty of old ODI thinking last night. Morgan/Russell should have been in the game from the start, the score they were chasing and Narine's form should have made that decision for them. It's preferable to give your biggest hitters a margin of error by sending them in during the power play.
Yes he probably has. 6th most expensive in IPL historyKaul has probably cost SRH the match. We can always blame the ground and pitch but that was some poor bowling. 4 overs 64 runs.
Doubt it, it's still the lowest score batting first here and the second lowest score after CSK's bizarre non chase.Kaul has probably cost SRH the match. We can always blame the ground and pitch but that was some poor bowling. 4 overs 64 runs.
Wanrer and Bairstow are the key here. SRH don't have the hitters in the middle orders that some of other teams have. I still fancy SRH to somehow chase it but those 20 runs off 4 balls could prove to be a difference.Doubt it, it's still the lowest score batting first here and the second lowest score after CSK's bizarre non chase.
It's given Mumbai Indians something to bowl at, but they're still 15-20 under par.
Well it doesn't help! I just don't think 208 is a good score here, so if Mumbai Indians win they've either won it with the ball or SRH have chucked it away with the bat.Wanrer and Bairstow are the key here.

A 208 on this sharjah is probably not enough but you also have to consider the teams involved. MI have a decent bowling line up and SRH don't have a pollard or Russell or Morgan to play a match winning knock. Bairstow is gone so it could already prove to be a tough run chase. Williamson as good a batsmen he is , is not known for his hitting ability. Again it could prove to be a cakewalk but SRH batting doesn't inspire me with confidence.Well it doesn't help!

Given how Warner is batting, that's on the cards though.
For sure, but that doesn't change the fact that you're favourites chasing 208 at Sharjah.A 208 on this sharjah is probably not enough but you also have to consider the teams involved.

Really good execution from the bowlers backed up by good captaincy from Rohit.After all that, that was an awful effort from SRH.
Yeah bowled well at the back end, but was always unlikely with Warner chewing up balls and unable to get going. The Bumrah over to Williamson and Warner was where the game was won.Really good execution from the bowlers backed up by good captaincy from Rohit.
