Rajasthan Bat
Watch cricket highlights – Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Daredevils from IPL 2009 played on April 28, 2009.
Scoreline: Delhi Daredevils: 143/7 – AB de Villiers 50, Daniel Vettori 29, Mithun Manhas 23 – Munaf Patel 4-14-2
Rajasthan make it in 18.3 overs: Yusuf f***in Pathan takes Delhi out – 62 (30), Graeme Smith 44 (46)
The Royals like in the game vs Mohali had Delhi tottering at 49/4 but then their fielding fell apart and you could gradually see Warne’s patience too fall away. de Villiers got another 50 but was unfortunate to be given out just when he looked set to launch – today was probably the first time this IPL, the umpiring was consistently poor.
The Rajasthan chase once again showed they’ve yet to sort out their best batting combination. Some inventive shuffling of the batting order followed and it’s quite amazing that Yusuf Pathan was able to pull it off yet again because with each player that came in ahead of him, the expectation and onus on him only grew larger. Graeme Smith was like some hobbling veteran on wooden legs – an approving nod here and there. But the time spent out there today and the form he was carrying into this IPL, should see him get going pretty soon and settle at least a part of the shaky top order.
Delhi’s fielding too fell away at crucial points. Think McGrath will play in future games. I suppose the reasoning behind keeping him out until now is that Delhi probably felt McGrath was someone who could enter a tournament at any stage, and to Nannes credit he’s had his moments.
Look out for Sehwag at the end in the post-match thing
Pregame: The Royals will be playing their 5th game with a solitary win thus far, while Delhi playing their 4th game have a win-all record.

this very nice site
Its good site especially if you are out of India
Agree with Zahid & Sush. Great work guys & God Bless. How long before we have Rajasthan batting??
Great work buddy !!! Keep it up.
Just wondering what Yousuf f*** Pathan meant (in the match scoreline). Another example of Indian Muslim hatred? Would any one address Sachin f*** Tendulkar when he plays well?
Hey Thaj: Dude i can’t believe you’re being serious in your comment – It’s a manner of speech used everywhere and also on this site in an appreciative manner. About Tendulkar it’s funny you mention him cos take a look at this India vs NZ 3rd ODI where the same usage has been applied to emphasize the quality of the knock. You’re not the first to misinterpret the usage – it happened when McCullum’s knock was referred to similarly
Gilbart: This is basically a H/Ls site not affiliated with the government or parliament – the accompanying text is there only cos I feel bored waiting for the vids to get upped. So don’t bother reading it. It’s crap anyway – just watch the hot hot highlights.

Than q very much for the hot hot highlights….at the same time, would u please avoid unparliamentary words….we didn’t expect such words in this site!
thanks a million for posting the highlights…
i love this site
ya man that thing in the scorecard wasn’t nice, whoever wrote it should hang in shame because that is disgraceful. I love yusuf pathan and I think his ability is amazing. I mean winning a couple of games for your team maybe termed fluke but almost every game the royals have won yusuf makes a big score, so it really is all class. Could someone please take that off
To all those complaining about the “unparliamentary” words, spare me. This is a free site. If you don’t like it, don’t come here.
Thanks for the great site…as an aussie expat living where it’s hard to get cricket coverage…I truly appreciate it. The IPL is great fun.
Any chance of seeing Aus vs Pak ODI # 3?
what a knock by patahan ,always perform under pressure!!!!!!!!! credit to ipl and warne by giving real diomond to india.
Agree totally with Mike.
Any chance of Aus v Pak ODI#3 going up soon?
Sorry I mistook the language for something else
Cool man – no offence intended and none taken
