Disclaimer : Due to shortage of time the post will be short and sweet! Will do a follow-up post to explain about the same!
Well, what can i say, it’s not a fortress anymore! IMO Warne made a wrong call by batting first after winning the toss, as everyone knows how good RCB are at chasing down targets and 130 a Jaipur was never really going to cause them any headaches! Now, we have to hope that Chennai looses against Punjab, we beat Kolkata Handsomely and Deccan loose by a big margin at the kotla, then we will sneak through in fourth position! It’s not all over but only a mathematical possibility remains as given the Performance of Deccan in the past 4 matches after their choke against us its difficult to see them loose to Delhi by a big margin and a fired up Chennai to lose against a low on confidence Punjab, but stranger things have happened! All we can do is win our match at Kolkata and Hope and Pray!!
The match was as one-sided as the score card shows it to be we never really had a chance once we lost Pathan at 72 and it read 72-6 after 13.1 overs! Anyhow Lumb and Raut put up a brave fight by taking upto 130. Jhunjhunwala was the worst of the lot, he should have got out a lot earlier rather than scoring a test match type 13 of 22 ( which is unacceptable in ODI’s as well).
Kamran khan was brought back, he got Kallis early and from then it was the KP show and he stole the match away even before Warne had bowled an over!
Here’s hoping we win BIG in Kolkata!
