slower one yet again and can only tonk it away to long-on for a single
Warriors vs Daredevils, 71st match at Pune, IPL, May 19 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's been a rather comprehensive win for Pune, their fourth victory to end the season at the penultimate position. Who is last then? It's the team that lost by 38 runs today, the Delhi Daredevils. Both teams have been under-par this season, Delhi a tad more than Pune.
Presentation:
Jayawardene: Tough day at the office for us, sums up the season. They played better cricket on this wicket. Rough season for us but need to move on.
Finch: Very happy with the way it ended. Disappointed we haven't been able to do it more often. Crowd has been good throughout the season.
Luke Wright is the man of the match: Very nice to finish on a high. Different track from what I am used to at home but this one was a better one.
gone, caught at long-on! slower ball, on a length and pulled it straight to long-on, easily taken, the end is nigh.
a very slow ball, outside the off stump and he was looking to scoop it over fine-leg, could have played the same stroke twice and still not connected, it was that slow
straighter and cracked over the bowler's head for a four this time, more vitally over the umpire's head too!
hits him, ouch, the umpire's been hit this time! it was in the slot for the batsman and he goes straight and hits him on his shoulder I think, Taufel's unruffled though
full-toss and missed, just outside the off stump and he was looking to slog it away
a tad quicker this time, outside the off stump and drilled to the extra-cover fielder
slower ball on the middle stump, is full enough to hit it over the top and through to wide long-on where a sprinting Finch dives to his right and prevents the four
full-toss outside the off stump, he was looking for a yorker and missed it, still can only hit it to deep cover for a single
Nadeem at 10.
shorter, slower and the slog goes as far as Pandey at long-on, takes it comfortably to peg back the Daredevils even further
fuller outside the off stump and he gets his bat down in time, crashes it through to third-man for a single
fuller, quicker and that's smacked over to wide long-off area for a couple of runs
hits is straight to long-off for a single
a very slow ball and he was looking to slog it away, inside edged on to the pads before rolling towards the bowler, Pathan wanted the single, Yadav did not before coming through, the bowler has a shy at the striker's end but misses
fuller outside the off stump and driven down to long-off, Pathan refuses the single
short of length and slogs it down to long-on for a single
Anwar: "NZ 68 all out... This must be 4th time within a year they bowled out for less than 100. In tests they are like Pune Warriors, consistently inconsistent." At least they were stodgy in their home series against England.
shortens his length a tad and slower too, gets an inside edge to the leg side for a single
outside the off stump and nip away from the bat, misses and through to the keeper
crunched to deep mid-wicket but a good catch! Morkel had to swing and he did just that off the first ball he faces, it goes in the air and straight to the fielder who dives to his right to grab a good one
CpTeja: "@Vyom 7-8 Players are too much...I like the proposal of having 1-2 overseas and 2-3 domestic players for retention. This allows the franchises to hold onto their "heart" but also allows them to redefine their image if they want to(like delhi, pune etc)"
full-toss on the leg stump and he can only flick it away to deep square-leg for a single
