Brendon Mcullum! What a freakin innings! One of the best innings I have ever seen! 158 runs of 73 balls!

kolkata Knight Riders ended with 222 for 3 in 20 overs!

Bangalore on the other hand are 49 for 7! YIKES! What a bad run chase. I expected more.

aww, wished south african team could play, man the indian team is kicking ass recently :)

Just so that you know, these teams are made up from players all over the world! Two South Africans are in the Bangalore Royal Challengers side! You are obviously not really a cricket man by the looks of it!!! You can follow what's going on at the Cricinfo site.

@ Crazysah: Yes, what a brilliant knock by Brendon, 10 x 4 and 13 x6 (73 Balls) and a strike rate of 216.43!!

18 April 2008

Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Kolkata Knight Riders

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

RESULT; KKR - 222/3 (20.0 ovrs) and BRC - 82/10 (15.1 ovrs)

Brendon Mcullum (KKR) - 158 runs of 73 balls!

Agarkar (KKR) - 3 for 25 in 4 ovrs.

one thing i will say.... considering how much money they put into this and since its going world wide did they ever consider gettin better commentators......honeslty...

and from last nights match bangalore had more of a test team....unlucky they had no steyn and why they picked noffke i have no idea..... and go mccullum wow....and consider this they had no gayle either...lol

crasyah yeh i will b following it ...since its on free to air tv here......

gotta say kkr is where the money is at.... :p

ps: ill look at the player lists and pick my team :D

So... Chennai Super Kings scored 240 with Mike Hussey scoring 116 of 53 balls! Kings XI Punjab replied with 207/4 in 20 overs and lost by 33 runs.

I went for the Delhi DareDevils match and it was a bit one-sided. Rajasthan Royals finished with 129/8 in 20 overs and we got to 131/1 in 15.1 overs! Some good bowling and good fielding work done by the Delhi DareDevil players!

Nice effort by Mr. Cricket the other day. Good work Hussey!

Does anyone know a decent website where we can watch cricket online? I know there is a site which has "live animation" but i would prefer the real thing.....

unfortunately i can't hog the computer from my flatmates all day watching the cricket, so sometimes i'm going to need to watch it online.

Thanks for the help

IPL's getting more interesting with the DC and MI opening their accounts and the Tasmans packing their bags, there might be a shift in power equations :)

Only wish RC would pick up their pace. The only thing that's good about them are the cheerleaders ;)

    • Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
    • And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
