KKR through to final 4, RCB Out
Narine - 4/20

[meccalli]

kkr really scaled the tables given how they started off their season. Uthappa in some aggressive form.

[Team2lo2flo]

Lol@ James fucknore ahaah

[trent]

Wow! Didnt expect Mumbai to qualify after losing their first 5 games, that was an epic chase, 195/5 in 14.4 overs
Hard luck RR

[**JSJ**]

Great chase, considering their in form batsmen did not contribute greatly (Simmons,Sharma,Pollard).

Kevon Cooper reported for suspect action

ESPNcricinfo staff - May 26, 2014

Kevon Cooper, the Rajasthan Royals allrounder, has been reported by the umpires for a suspect action while bowling certain deliveries, after his team's five-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians. It is the second time that Cooper's action has come under the scanner; in 2011, his action was reported during the Caribbean T20 league after which he had to take remedial measures at the University of Western Australia, Perth.

Under the IPL Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, Cooper may request an official assessment from the BCCI Suspect Bowling Action Committee, which comprises S Venkataraghavan, Javagal Srinath, AV Jayaprakash and Sanjay Patel, the BCCI secretary.

However, pending any clearance by the committee, Cooper would be available to bowl for Royals in IPL 2015. Should he be reported a second time, he would be suspended from bowling for the remainder of that season.

Cooper, who joined Royals in 2012, has picked up 39 wickets in 31 appearances over three season in the IPL. He picked up the wickets of Michael Hussey and Kieron Pollard at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, but Royals were edged out of the race for playoffs as Mumbai Indians chased down the 190-run target in 14.4 overs.

So...some ppl online r questioning whether those two matches were fixed; KKR chasing down 161 in 14.2 overs to beat SRH amd MI making 195 in 14.4 overs to beat RR and qualify for the playoffs.
Interesting...Well i found them exciting!

Onto the playoff now!

[X_Factor]

none of the MI stars were among runs and its really anderson who pretty much won it for them its hard for me to believe it was fixed ...also considering the royals got 189 and no measly 120 or under
