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!!

The first match today is at 5:00PM Local TIme... it is between KingsXIPunjab vs Chennai Super Kings...

How many of you guys are actualyl going to be following the IPL closely? (Just so I know who to get into a heated discussion with!) And which team do you guys support?

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 ;)

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
