Game 56: Kings v Rajasthan, Chandigarh, 28th May

The bowling has been variable though and some of the pitches more conducive than others to high scoring.

Aye, but even considering that, the tournament has not followed the pre-ordained script. There have even been some games won by the bowlers,

Expect Warne and Smith to 'betray' each other when they tour us during our next summer.

Bowlers have done very well on occasions which is hardly surprising given the assistance they've got from some tracks. The batsmen have to hit out regardless.

T20 cricket shock. Some wickets were better for batting than others.

We must seriously stop this rot before it spreads to test cricket.

I made the comment to support the idea that bowlers in this form of the game can be very effective despite the perception that it's a batsman's game only.

Also when judging statistics in the IPL, you have to take into account the highly variable nature of the pitches in a short space of time.
