And that's not even the highest score of Northeast's first-class career.

SRH vs RCB had 549 runs today.

That's more than any other T20 game ever...

boss jutler follows that with the largest successful run chase at 223, after narine belts a century

the grounds are too small. ball goes sideways off the toe of the bat, travels 57 meters and plops over the fielder for six

158/4

nope not the innings total, but the score at the half way mark

this is like making the goals twice as wide and being like wow 19-24 at full time with five players scoring hat tricks, how exciting

Yeah, SRH have been crazy good with the bat.

And LOL at KKR thinking Starc is a good choice for the last over. 3 overs for 55.

travis head being second on the ipl run leaderboard with 300 odd runs and with a strike rate of about 250 is surreal

monster knock from stoinis, 124* to chase down 210 while most of his mates got out for nothing at the other end

1 more month of this IPL hell. There isn't even a test match world wide until late June iirc. NBA playoffs is the only lifesaver

punjab about to chase 262 with a couple overs to spare. dumb. they were about 15% to chase it down before the second innings began with the bookies. i picked up a few quid backing the chase

foolishness

nice to see YJB get a hundred though

I'm hoping that this is the start of another Bairstow purple patch.

I'm also happy when England players do well in these sorts of things.

I'd say that Buttler, Salt and Bairstow can now call themselves successful this year.

Curran, Livingstone not so much.

Jacks and Topley have been meh/average in a bad team.

Ali has been bench warming mostly.

fraser mcgurk (who to be fair is terrifying with or without IPL concrete steamrolled pitches) 52 off 15 to open up the next game. we're on for a 200 personal score sooner or later
