This performance was unbelievable when other bowlers were being thrashed for sixes. What is more unbelievable is the fact that after halfway stage in IPL Dada (5.78 rpo)remains the most economical bowler after World No. 1 Mcgrath (5.68). I think Dada under-rates his bowling too much just because he is not test class but he should remember 80% of players playing this underwear cricket will never play tests. So he need not be so critical.
Under Sourav Ganguly captaincy Kolkata team will definitely win the IPL 20-20 series. In this team one and only one of the best fastest bowler in the world history that is Shoib Akthar and also our current India's fastest bowler Ishant Sharma. Both will turn the match. Dada the Great.

most one sided match is on cards.punjab vs bangalore.let us hope boucher does not fix this one as he did against kolkatta. major shock of today may be yuvi will have a spell of 4-0-4-4 and he is man of the match .similar to dada:3-0-7-1.may be fixer will be a different player.
i wonder y a batsman of the calibre of cheteshwar pujara, the man of the series of junior world cup, a talented batsman is being ignored by saurav. definitely better than chopra.
Lets admit it, the game was a good one. KKR played scratchilly but then RCB was even more scratchier. RCB should have finished off the match but needlessly they tried to defend...
Anyways...another stellar performance by KKR will shut the mouth of some doubting Thomases...below!!!
Its not that Dada was the BEST yesterday but then others were too pathetic..
Dada needs to prove that the all round performance shown by him yesterday was NOT a fluke.

Thats true. Calcutta won because banglore had no wish to win. If Mark Boucher can hit, Drvid should not say conditions for batting were difficult. Bowlers were same. Dravid was called `WALL' because of his inability to score. And see the luck, people fixed it as compliment to his name. Yes WALL can only defend, not attack. Mallya will encash the players names for his brand. May be they drink RC before they play their matches.

Everyone has a shelf life and I totally agree with that, Mr Hasan! However, its upto Dada to decide when he should retire.
Its good to see Ganguly admitted his limitations. Well, this performance by him does not count much as the opposition was weak.
Bangalore & Kolkata are two poor & weakest teams in the competition & they would be fighting with each other for the last spot in the points table, lol.
It is to the the credit of the great he is that players like Jaffer, Kumble and injured Zaheer are in his T20 RC team. One should have the guts to play along with these aged and slow cricketers . Dravid has the ability to read correctly things but has to face the maximum priblem due to Ganguly's politics. There are several instances when in the challanger series for players selection Dravid has won fighting from the front as captain on many occassions.It is sad that only Drvid got no support from the selectors as well he himself being an intervert never asks for any help. Such is the sportsmanspirit and Teamspirit of this great man who is liked by all foreigners for his gamesmanship. People make comments without knowing what sports is all about and is the reason we are behind others.

yes! a very defensive captain even for tests, he will give away winning matches. A bad batsman as he is no more a wall, just a average struggling batsman, he cannot ball a new negative in todays world, and for fielding well he only stands in slips, does not do any running.....
