I just wanna see KKR spring off a surprise win here.Mccullum needs to fire,if they have to do that.

 

[SciD]

I really hope Pomers play. Also Powar is hardly used so we can have another batter for him.

 

[Leggie]

Punjab to win for sure. KKR are just crap.

 

[Howsie]

The Kings XI Punjab will win pretty easily I feel, there bowling attack will be too good for KKR.

 

[McLOVIN]

GO Punjab! and Dada :happy

I see your've changed your team lol.

 

[SciD]

Chasing is not what we are good at. Points to KKR their.

 

[Howsie]

Abdulla gets another wicket, Chris Gayle gone.

This pitch is looking pretty slow, 130 should be a good score.

 

[SciD]

:happy
Kachori gets Calypso King.

 

[Howsie]

Slow start from Kolkata here, I think they are going to need atleast 120, 130 should be good enough to win.

 

[SciD]

Best WK Batsman according to PC members goes for another failure.

Best WK Batsman according to PC members goes for another failure.

It's joke 20/20 cricket, I find it quite good he is in bad form now because hopefully when the 20/20 world cup comes around he should be back to himself.

Good batting from Hodge there, two boundries in a row.

 

[McLOVIN]

Slow start from Kolkata here, I think they are going to need atleast 120, 130 should be good enough to win.

more like by McCullum:, wasted 31 one balls just to score 19 runs


and he is out ...

So are you actually watching the game, the pitch is slow and hard to bat on. If Kolkata make 130, they should win.

Both McCullum and Gayle were scoring slow at the start, they didn't want to get out early. They know what a good score is here.
