Dropped Chances

IPL Day 18. After a whole series of close games, a very one-sided game. The Rajasthan Royals posted the highest score of the tournament so far, then bundled out Punjab with only Yuvraj offering serious resistance. But that was just the starter.

For the main course, the Kolkata Knight Riders batted first against Delhi, and actually put up a fairly decent target. But defending that score was an absolute joke. Kolkata literally threw it away, they bowled ok but the fielding was abysmal, they dropped chance after chance after chance. The team couldn't catch a cold. Or worse.

O, I got a new keyboard too.

I have been really enjoying the coverage of the domestic cricket available on BBC local radio.

Interestingly, Essex have dropped a lot of catches recently and I wondered whether the volume of cricket detracted from the quality, and maybe this is why County Cricket is not of the standard it could otherwise be. It may be mental tiredness, lack of practice or lack of fitness. Maybe one 4 day game and one limited overs game per week would improve the standard.
