Thats crazy stuff!
I guess he’s not finished after all

Fraser -McGurk was at it again overnight scoring 84 off 27 balls, out in the 7th over with the score on 114.

His innings ensuring the Capitals beat Mumbai

For Mumbai Tim David 37 (17) nearly pulled a win out the hat

In the other game, we saw why cricket is such a great game.

Marcus Stoinis after a brilliant hundred a few nights ago got an absolute seed 4th ball which sent middle and off stumps cartwheeling out the ground having not troubled the scorer

Not much to post on the Aussie performances last night in the IPL

However as good as Travis Heads been this Englishman went even better

Will Jacks' first 50 took 31 balls... his second 50 took 10

Even Virat Kohli was in awe of the Englishman pissing himself laughing at the non strikers end

Jacks took 29 off Rashid Khans last over 4 x 6

Two Aussies in action overnight pitted against each other

Fraser McGurk out for 12 (7) caught on the legside boundary of Mitchell Starc

Was Starcs only wicket as he got plastered all over ther park once again 1/43 (3)

His form is a real worry, afterv getting pasted in his last over few nights ago for nearly 30 his first 3 balls this innings went flying to or over the fence as well

[locky801]

Another failure with the bat overnight by Glen Maxwell and he is copping it from the media and former players

His scores in this IPL have been 0,3,28, 0, 1, 0, 4

One media outlet has branded him the most over rated player ever in the history of IPL

Hopefully he saving all his runs for Australia

Unreal batting and ones a South Australian

Obviously the fast bowlers have never heard of yorkers

Batting masterclass of the highest order, well batted lads

I watched the highlights of the Head and Abhishek partnership earlier today as Fox Cricket posted them on their YouTube channel and looked at the scores. They dined out on a bowling attack that is mostly Indian domestic cricketers, no stars, Bishnoi has played for India and Naveen for Afghanistan but there was obviously no demons in that attack or the pitch. Head just does what he wants in this tournament, off spin obviously having no effect on him on those pitches.

[Armchair expert]

I've played on synthetic pitches with more juice in them than what the Indian curators are preparing.

I'm not sure if these monster scores are great for their competition long term.

Playoffs began last night

Knight Riders trashed Pat Cummins' sunrisers

Aussies mixed fortunes

Head continues his horrid run had his stumps spread eagled by Mitch Starc 2nd ball, last 3 knocks for Trav 4 (2) 0 (1) 0 (2)
Was also given the ball for the first time in the series 0/32 off of 1.4 overrs
Cummins scored 30 at the end to help them post a reasonable score, got tocuhed up again with his bowling 1/38 off of 3 including 20 off his first over
Starc with a MOM performance took 3/34 and back bowling close to his best

[locky801]

Head gone first ball he faces in the final as Pat Cummins side is humbled into submission

Talk about a riches to rags turnaround where as it went the other way for Mitch Starc with a match winning man of the final performance

[Armchair expert]

Ponting gone as coach of Delhi

no more inflated contracts for some Aussies now

Just saw

Warner didn't get picked
But a 13yr old did??

Makes perfect sense to me.

Games start again tonight, no sleep coming up

Couple of great spells of bowling last night

Jofra Archer 4 overs for 76 (Trav took 23 off one over alone)
Then trying to not be outdone but just failing

Pat Cummins 4 overs for 60

They said on the news that Archer spat the dummy and sent down a deliberate beamer

Not sure it was deliberate but certainly was a beamer, think he tried a slower ball and it came out wrong (went for 4 as the keeper missed it) but geez he bowled some absolute garbage

[locky801]

Big show last night comes in, tries a reverse sweep first ball, misses given out LBW, walks off.

Hawk eye shows ball would have bounced over the top

Between him and JFM (out 2nd ball for 1 going the doctor) must be nice to be paid big money for doing SFA

Think the big show has had his day and time to get his media gig

[locky801]

Good to see JFM score a few runs last night, only got 38 (32) but didnt try and hit everyball out of the park

Captain Pat continues to get belted out of the park 2 overs for 27 to go with his 0/60 off 4 the other night

The best left arm opening bowler in the world, the one and only Mitch Starc picked up a lazy 5/35, smashing through the top order in a MOM performance
