The 'turning' point

Yuvraj has a ball with the ball

Yuvraj Singh must be one of the more irritating bowlers to face, certainly one of the more amusing to watch, and as I am finding out, one of the most enjoyable to write about

01-May-2009•Karna S

Almost famous

Edwards' fury caps hard-fought game

Today's clash at Centurion between Deccan Chargers and Delhi Daredevils, first and second in the table before the game, oozed confidence and entitlement

Bowled over by confidence

Punjab won the game in the pressure-cooker moments, their teamwork enabling the bowlers to defend 119 against Mumbai's mighty batting line-up

Bangalore win but can't hide the flaws

Bangalore may see this win as a turning point - it lifted them off the bottom of the table - but the result can't paper over the obvious flaws in the way they play

New, improved Gibbs profits from patience

Herschelle Gibbs played an innings of patience and practicality to steer Deccan Chargers to their fourth win on the trot

27-Apr-2009•Karna S

Bangalore lose the big moments

To win a game of Twenty20, teams need to win the big moments. Since humbling Rajasthan Royals on the opening day of the tournament, Bangalore have developed a habit of losing them

26-Apr-2009•Victor Brown

Tendulkar casts a giant shadow

If Mumbai Indians want to reach the final four without much fuss, they need to quickly get out of the shadow of Sachin Tendulkar

Steady Yuvraj helps Punjab turn a small corner

Punjab's first win of IPL 2009 came in their full game of the tournament - both previous games had been affected by rain

24-Apr-2009•Karna S

Two overs too many

The Super Over ruined what had been the perfect match, with all the elements of a classic sporting contest

24-Apr-2009•Sambit Bal

Almost perfection

Delhi Daredevils, inspired by AB de Villiers' superbly-paced century, held their nerve in the field to beat Chennai Super Kings in the first close game of IPL 2

23-Apr-2009•Karna S

Australians shine but in the wrong place

Australia's embarrassing defeat to Pakistan stemmed in part from a lack of experience and coincided with the free-scoring form of Gilchrist and Hayden in the IPL

22-Apr-2009•Alex Brown

Gilchrist lends weight to opening statements

The wisdom ahead of this tournament as experts tried to compare and contrast Indian conditions with those in South Africa was that the new ball was going to be crucial. It has indeed been crucial, but just not in the way people expected

Playing hot, staying cool

Chris Gayle played a typically audacious innings, with some stylishly cool big-hitting, to give Kolkata their first win of the IPL season

21-Apr-2009•Karna S

Disappointment on the collision course

As with the Kolkata captaincy issue, the showdown between England's two big beasts, Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, did not quite live up to its billing

Ireland take trophy, Afghans the headlines

Leadership, Kolkata's wafer-thin mint

The multiple-captains saga has hung around the otherwise fragrant Kolkata Knight Riders like a bad smell

Wasted time

The time-out as it has been presented is nonsensical enough. But when rain is in the air, as it was at Newlands on Sunday, it becomes a self-defeating fiasco and a triumph for sheer greed over the paying public

19-Apr-2009•Victor Brown

Pietersen makes the perfect start

Twenty20 captaincy feels like a lottery at times but pretty much everything Kevin Pietersen did came off. He may as well just ride the wave
