Great spell there Keemo

Bowling to Bairstow, Warner and Williamson

9.5
K Paul to Bairstow, out Caught by Rabada!! Fuller, slower and wider, Bairstow reaches out for it and drills it straight down long-off's throat. That's the opening Delhi needed. Because he was stretching for it, Bairstow wasn't as balanced as he would've liked to be. And so, that affected - or rather hindered - the power he was able to generate. Went flat to Rabada who made no mistake.

Bairstow c Rabada b K Paul 41(31) [4s-5 6s-1]

11.4
K Paul to Williamson, out Caught by Rabada!! Done in by the slower ball, chips it up to the right of mid-off where Rabada comes flying across for the catch. Clings onto it. Then clings onto Prithvi Shaw who jumps right onto him. Brilliant from Paul to turn it around for Delhi. Pressure on the vulnerable SRH middle-order again.

Williamson c Rabada b K Paul 3(cool

15.2
K Paul to Bhui, out Caught by Axar!! This is proving to be a match defining spell by Keemo Paul. Ricky Bhui never looked settled and his struggle comes to an end. Was a slower delivery outside off, the batsman swung his bat and got it off a thick leading edge towards backward point. Axar Patel sprints across towards his left, puts in a dive and pulls off a brilliant catch. This match is going right down to the wire.

Bhui c Axar b K Paul 7(12)

Chris Morris to Hooda, 2 runs, that went miles up in the air! Keemo Paul from deep square leg charged away towards deep fine, put in the slide and saved the ball from going to the fence

Chris Morris to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by K Paul!! Keemo Paul is like air. He is everywhere. An easy catch around the mid-off region.

Keemo Paul, Man of the Match:
First all of thanks to God. This is a dream come true for me. My family has supported me tremendously. It is the biggest league in the world and why not enjoy it. Went back of the hand and it worked for me. I just tried to adapt to the wicket. I just bowled to suit the wicket. This game is all about confidence. I have not been getting much to contribute with the bat so wanted to contribute more. This is for the friends, family and all my team mates. Thank you for the support.

DELHI 155/7 (20.0)

HYDERABAD 116-all out (18.5)

Delhi Capitals won by 39 runs

Hety fail......his head swell

Hety make runs.......he’s the next great West Indian batsman

The fickleness of fandom

What is your "un-fickle" take on Hety's failure, O Mighty Paragon of Virtue?

 
imusic 2019-04-14 21:31:26 

In reply to Norm

In a word.......inexperience

BTW, My post wasn’t meant for you to take so personally. It’s a general statement that universally applies......myself included. Your response shows how personal you’ve taken it. Nothing personal here.

The lil stardom got to Hety head.. when they used to keep him on the bench and only play him in one one warm up game he was determined.. since the England series he started to lose it..

De drop by RCB is the best thing for Hety at the moment..

Keemo on the other hand got one the best cricketing brain in the Caribbean and should be our main death bowler in the World cup if Dwayne Bravo not going.. he and Cottrell gotta be the ones to close off an innings de others can't handle that right now

In reply to anthonyp

I feel your heart in the right place. And you seem to love your cricket. But I eh know about your judgement......especially after your repeated “Bishoo the first name on the team sheet” pronouncements.


BTW....I have plenty time for BOTH Keemo Paul AND Hety. One of the best cricketing brains in the Caribbean is pretty lofty

In reply to imusic

Partner I never hyped Bishoo as the first name on no team sheet.. yuh mistaking me for somebody else

Yuh know how long now I calling for Bishoo to take ah rest

 
imusic 2019-04-14 22:51:31 

In reply to anthonyp

My bad. I swear it was you who always used to post that Bishoo is the first name on any team sheet

Apologies man

For those of you who have not been following IPL closely

Keemo is not failing at IPL.

Yuh have to like Keemo. The man has confidence. Not many fellows have a well prepared MOM speech. lol

Is Paul injured? He did not play in Dehli's last 2 games
