Bangalore vs Kolkata, 10th Match
That's it from us as far as the first game is concerned. Hop over to the other tab, where Chennai will be batting first against Delhi. Tata!
Balaji: In T20, bowlers normally are at the receiving end but I got a good momentum today. Should appreciate the first few overs where Kallis and Lee were superb. It was a team effort from us. The plan was to bowl straight and stick to the basics, wanted the ball to do the rest. ABD is one of the best players in the world and it was good to get him. In T20 wickets matter a lot and we just wanted to strike early. We did the basics right and got the results.
Balaji is the Man of the Match for his 4-18.
Gambhir: Absolutely, very happy with a win on the board. We have potential in the dressing room and just needed one win. I've never seen a better bowling performance than what Balaji did, he was brilliant today. Lee and Kallis are quality bowlers and we had a god back up in Bala. It was a complete team effort.
Vettori: The last 8 overs was exceptional, but the opening spell by Kallis and Balaji was brilliant. We couldn't get any momentum and continued to lose wickets which made it difficult. It's not an easy outfield to run around but the fielding was excellent today.
A comfortable win for Kolkata. Bangalore went into the break midway with all the momentum after Kolkata's late collapse but lost the plot completely in the first 6 overs. Kallis picked up the first 2, including the big man Gayle, and Balaji demolished the middle order with a terrific spell. He bowled with a good rhythm and struck important blows including wickets of Kohli and ABD, which left too much for the inexperienced Bangalore middle order. Bangalore were always playing the catch-up game after all the early wickets, and eventually lost by a big margin.
Kallis: We played some good cricket today. We were under a bit of pressure after the first 2 games but did well today. We knew that the new ball will be crucial - the ball was doing something and we had to pick the wickets. Gayle is a dangerous player, but we knew that we had a big chance against him upfront.

Vettori b Balaji 20(12) [4s-3 6s-1]
Balaji to Vettori, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!
11.4 Balaji to Vettori, no run, a huge appeal for caugth behind but the umpire is unmoved. That went off the pad. Length ball pitching on middle and skidding on, Vettori was stuck in the crease and looked to guide it but it went off the pad. Would have been a good lbw shout as well!

Balaji will finish his spell..
10.6 Bhatia to Saurabh Tiwary, 2 runs, and Saurabh Tiwary continues to live dangerously at the other end. Good slower one from Bhatia, Tiwary looks to heave it away over the on side but gets a thick edge that lobs between backward point and short third man
10.5 Bhatia to Vettori, 1 run, pitched up once again, Vettori swings across and gets a thick inside edge to fine leg
10.4 Bhatia to Vettori, FOUR, this is superb batting! Vettori looks a determined man. Bhatia bowls this full and outside off, Vettori moves across quickly and paddles it fine to the fine leg fence, picked his spot superbly and executed it even better
10.3 Bhatia to Vettori, SIX, Vettori continues to fight! This was well picked - a slower one outside off but Vettori goes on his knees and slog sweeps, drags it from there over the deep mid wicket fence

9.5 Balaji to Vettori, 1 run, pitched up on the off, Vettori drives it to long off for a single
9.4 Balaji to Vettori, FOUR, that's a good shot! Bangalore need this badly. This was on the middle stump but Vettori shuffled across a long way and glanced it to fine leg, tried that in the last ball as well and succeeds this time
9.3 Balaji to Vettori, no run, madness from Saurabh Tiwary! What was he doing? Vettori looks to shuffle across and work to the on side but the ball goes off the pad to point, there was never a single there but Saurabh Tiwary charged in, fortunately for him the throw at the bowler's end was not direct
9.2 Balaji to Vettori, FOUR, timing! Nothing else on that shot, just timing. A normal length delivery outside off, Vettori stays back and just steers it between backward point and third man, not too far from either of them but both had no chance
Daniel Vettori, left handed bat, comes to the crease
9.1 Balaji to Agarwal, out Caught by Gambhir!! Another wicket. The 3rd one for Balaji - he unleashes his broad smile. This is good bowling - back of a length and angled in, Agarwal looks to play across but it bounces a touch extra, lobs off the leading edge for a simple catch to extra cover. Gambhir completes the catch and calls his team-mates for a conference. A huddle perhaps? Agarwal c Gambhir b Balaji 5(6)
Balaji to Agarwal, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Time out. Bangalore need to get their ideas right. Right now, they're going nowhere. Someone should stand up and counter-attack. But it won't be that easy - Kolkata's bowling has been disciplined..

Mayank Agarwal, right handed bat, comes to the crease
7.2 Balaji to de Villiers, out Bowled!! What a stunner! Absolute peach from Balaji and he is on a roll. He did this to Shane Watson last year and does the same to de Villiers now! Angles it in and pitches on off, ABD thinks it will come in with the angle and looks to block but the ball straightens and goes past the outside edge to hit off. Absolute peach, nothing else to say. Bangalore will have to chase this down without Gayle, Kohli and de Villiers. de Villiers b Balaji 10(10) [4s-1]

Saurabh Tiwary, left handed bat, comes to the crease
5.5 Balaji to Virat Kohli, out Caught by Manoj Tiwary!! Another important wicket! Just reward for Balaji who has started with a superb over - 4 dot balls and then this huge strike. Once again lands it in an awkward length on middle stump channel and gets it to straighten off the seam, Kohli's feet don't move as he tries to work across, only managed a thick leading edge to point. Kohli wasn't looking at his best today at all, he is furious with himself as he walks off. Virat Kohli c Manoj Tiwary b Balaji 6(14) [4s-1]

4.2 Brett Lee to de Villiers, no run, almost another one! A bit shorter but Lee gets a bit more bounce, de Villiers looks to punch again but misses
4.1 Brett Lee to de Villiers, FOUR, shot! That's not a bad ball at all. Lee can just applaud it and go back to his run up. Not so short, not so wide but ABD rocks back in a flash and punches it hard wide of point, terrific timing!
3.6 Kallis to Virat Kohli, FOUR, one poor ball in the over and Kohli punishes that. Good quality cricket this - stretches out to reach this wide delivery and slaps it away through the off side field for a boundary

2.5 Brett Lee to Virat Kohli, no run, goes past his bat! This is good bowling, pitches on a good length and nips in, Kohli is neither forward nor back and the ball zips through his gate
2.4 Brett Lee to Gayle, 1 run, short of length and around off, Gayle guides it to third man for one
2.3 Brett Lee to Gayle, no run, beaten! Pulls back the length and slants it across, Gayle hops back and pokes at it in vain

Jacques Kallis, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
Gayle will be on strike now. Apparently Delhi has been hit by a sudden thuderstorm in the evening (which puts the 8 PM game in doubt). Watch out Bangalore, you could be next!

0.5 Brett Lee to Pujara, no run, back of a length and around off, Pujara gets forward and steers it to point

Right then, we're back. And guess who else is back - Chris Gayle! He took the IPL by storm last season, and it all started in a game against Kolkata. Will he do it again?!
Alright! At one stage it looked like 200 was a certainty. But once Bisla fell, the innings fell apart. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Yusuf, Gambhir, Tiwary, Doeschate and Shakib fell in quick succession. Shukla didn't contribute either and they would consider themselves 30 runs short looking at how they were going at halfway stage. But, that being said, 166 is not child's play. It would require a strong contribution from the top order for Vettori's men to steal the show tonight.
19.6 Harshal Patel to Bhatia, FOUR, a fine end to a roller-coaster innings as far as Kolkata are concerned. Short ball, Bhatia picked the slower one and helped it to the fine leg boundary
19.5 Harshal Patel to Brett Lee, 1 run, slower one from Harshal Patel, Brett Lee mistimes it to the on side
19.4 Harshal Patel to Brett Lee, SIX, some consolation towards the end, low full toss, Brett Lee uses his high backlift to smack that straight over the bowler's head to the long on boundary, 160 is not a bad totaly, mind you. Two balls left.
Rajat Bhatia, right handed bat, comes to the crease
19.3 Harshal Patel to Shukla, out Caught by Zaheer!! What a catch! Shukla goes for the pull and gets a top edge, the ball goes miles in the air swirling around and Zaheer at mid wicket ran back, kept his eyes on the ball until the last moment and falls over to complete the catch.

19.2 Harshal Patel to Brett Lee, 1 run, nice and straight, slapped down to long off
19.1 Harshal Patel to Brett Lee, no run, Harshal Patel to bowl the final over! Bowls it wide outside the off stump as he sees Brett Lee backing away, batsman can't reach out for it in the end
Harshal Patel [3.0-0-34-0] is back into the attack
18.6 Vinay Kumar to Shukla, 2 runs, unnecessary overthrow allows them to come back for a second. Another slower ball, he's becoming too good at bowling those, Shukla pulls it to deep mid wicket, timing not at its best again, Mayank Agarwal throws the ball well wide of the keeper and that results in an extra run

Shakib Al Hasan c Pujara b Vinay Kumar 4(4)

17.4 Muralitharan to Shakib Al Hasan, 1 run, cramps the batsman for room, he goes back and punches it to long on

Harshal Patel [2.0-0-27-0] is back into the attack
Ouch! Harshal Patel runs in and twists his ankle, falls over. Lost his footing over there, looks like he's done some serious damage. The physio is out.
Strategy break - the last one for this innings.
14.6 Vinay Kumar to Manoj Tiwary, no run, just two runs off the over, Manoj Tiwary plunges forward and defends it to the off side, end of a fine over, just 2 runs off it. Gambhir is livid with something, throws his bat after that over, some points lost as far as the fair play award is concerned

Manoj Tiwary, right handed bat, comes to the crease
14.1 Vinay Kumar to Yusuf Pathan, out Caught by Gayle!! Yusuf Pathan got a life in his very first ball, but he's not determined to make the most of it, a simple catch at backward point, Gayle was the fielder. It was too close to the body to be playing the cut shot, slashed at it and it went off the outer half of the bat straight to Gayle, good bowling from Vinay Kumar, kept it slightly short and close to the body, the extra bounce did the trick for his team.

Yusuf Pathan, right handed bat, comes to the crease
13.3 Muralitharan to Bisla, out Stumped!! Bye Bye Bisla says Muralitharan as he bowls a doosra, Bisla didn't pick it up at all, he was coming down the track looking to go downtown, misread the line of the delivery completely and ABD has an easy task behind the stumps, Bisla was a long way down the track.

12.2 Vinay Kumar to Bisla, 1 run, Bisla comes down the wicket and almost converts it into a yorker, drills it to cover

Vinay Kumar [1.0-0-5-0] is back into the attack

10.5 Vettori to Bisla, 2 runs, Bisla drills it as hard as he could, hit that very straight, but brilliant fielding from Pujara at long on saves two runs, he ran to his left and dived at the right time to stop two
10.4 Vettori to Bisla, no run, fuller one, quicker as well, over a 100 kph, driven back down the wicket towards mid off
10.3 Vettori to Bisla, SIX, it was off the toe end but he has got enough bat to clear long on! Gave the charge, got to the pitch of the ball, was slighly early into the shot but the full swing of the blade allowed him to take the ball over the fence

9.3 Muralitharan to Gambhir, 1 run, Gambhir swipes one to short fine leg
9.2 Muralitharan to Gambhir, FOUR, top shot! Gambhir played that as late as he could, he was gone for all money had he missed that, makes room and gets it wide of the keeper, in the gap and into the fine leg boundary, for a moment one got an impression that he would be bowled but what scintillating batting!
9.1 Muralitharan to Gambhir, no run, that one didn't turn! Gambhir was looking to whip it across and didn't get bat on ball, hit on the pad, but it was clearly going down leg
Muttiah Muralitharan [1.0-0-13-0] is back into the attack
8.6 Vettori to Bisla, no run, much better, fuller one from Vettori, pushed back to the bowler
8.5 Vettori to Bisla, FOUR, Bisla is pressing the foot on the accelerator here! Comes down the wicket, creates that extra bit of room and slices it over cover, a couple of bounces and into the fence, sweeper cover couldn't cover enough ground to stop it
8.4 Vettori to Bisla, 2 runs, Bisla comes down the track and clips it wide of short fine leg, Zaheer Khan at deep backward square runs to his right and keeps them down to two
8.3 Vettori to Bisla, no run, full and straight, played back to the bowler

7.5 Virat Kohli to Bisla, FOUR, 12 off this over already, Virat Kohli tries to bowl one in the blockhole, Bisla jams his bat down, gets an outside edge and it runs down to the third man boundary, short third man was too wide, he couldn't do nothing about it

7.3 Virat Kohli to Bisla, 1 run, Bisla plunges foward and defends it towards cover

ABD makes no mistake and Kallis departs for 22. Kallis c de Villiers b Vettori 22(23) [4s-3 6s-1]
Vettori to Kallis, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
6.1 Vettori to Kallis, no run, great delivery to begin his spell, loops it in, turns across from middle and off, Kallis is beaten as he plays inside the line of the delivery
Daniel Vettori, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack
Vettori opts for a time-out! Rightly so. His team is going nowhere with the execution. The run rate is already ten and if things continue this way, they would be chasing a mammoth total. Credit to the openers, they have taken calculated risks and have taken the Bangalore bowlers to the cleaners.
5.6 Muralitharan to Gambhir, FOUR, the openers are piling on the agony for the bowlers! Gambhir shimmies down the wicket, lofts it over extra cover, a couple of bounces and into the fence
5.5 Muralitharan to Kallis, 1 run, Kallis turns one behind square on the on side

5.2 Muralitharan to Kallis, 1 run, Kallis flays one towards mid wicket
5.1 Muralitharan to Kallis, SIX, My word! Sensational stuff! It was Muralitharan brought into the attack to stem the flow of runs, but the plan is the same for Kolkata, Kallis gets down and sweeps it to the deep backward square leg fence, didn't try to get more elevation, it was a clean flat hit
Muttiah Muralitharan, right-arm off break, comes into the attack
4.6 Zaheer to Kallis, 1 run, short of length delivery outside the off stump, Kallis chops it down to third man, he will retains the strike
4.5 Zaheer to Gambhir, 1 run, much close to the body, Gambhir draws the bat close to the body and helps it towards third man

4.2 Zaheer to Gambhir, FOUR, lovely! Easily done this time around, Gambhir walks across, closes the face of the bat and tucks it to the long leg boundary, 28 off 10 balls - Gambhir
4.1 Zaheer to Gambhir, FOUR, Gambhir is taking on his countryman, no respect whatsoever! Picks up that one quite cleanly, gets under it and slaps it over mid off, races away at the rate of knots
3.6 Harshal Patel to Kallis, no run, Kallis tries to do a Gambhir by walking down the track, Harshal Patel bowls it short and Kallis couldn't get the flat bat into play, misses it and walks back towards the popping crease, 15 runs off that Harshal Patel over
3.5 Harshal Patel to Gambhir, 1 run, nicely steered away to square third man, he will get only a single this time around
3.4 Harshal Patel to Gambhir, SIX, Gambhir is on song! Where did that come from? Walks across, converts it into a half volley and swipes across the line, sends the ball sailing into the stands towards deep square leg, first biggie for KKR and Gambhir is calling the shots
3.3 Harshal Patel to Gambhir, FOUR, top class batting! Shortish in length, width on offer, Gambhir played it very late, steered it between backward point and cover point, there was a very thin gap and he bisected the fielders with ease
3.2 Harshal Patel to Gambhir, no run, change of pace, Gambhir was looking to smear this one through mid wicket, mistimes it to mid on, good comeback from Harshal Patel
3.1 Harshal Patel to Gambhir, FOUR, poor start from Harshal Patel, too short, pulled away through square leg, bread and butter stuff for left handers this, that's the kind of deliveries Gambhir needs early on in his innings to get back to his best
Harshal Patel, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
2.6 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, fuller one from Zaheer to end the over, driven to mid off
2.5 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, almost a wicket! Kallis got carried away and looked to drive one on the up, almost hit that to the hands of Vinay Kumar at mid off, was a little early into the shot and that helped him in the end, the ball fell just short of VK who was diving forward, hands on head for ABD! That's how close it was
2.4 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, another one outside the off stump, no need to take half measures, left alone by Kallis!
2.3 Zaheer to Kallis, FOUR, class written all over it! It was a length ball, Kallis came forward, got close to the line of the delivery and drove it wide of mid off, timed it beautifully, there's no stopping that!
2.2 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, holds the length slightly back, Kallis goes back and shoulders arms, he is looking cautious out in the middle
2.1 Zaheer to Kallis, FOUR, back to back boundaries for KKR! Full and on the pads, Kallis flicks it nicely through backward square leg, the fielder at fine leg had no chance as it raced away in no time
1.6 Vinay Kumar to Gambhir, FOUR, aggressive intent early on from Gambhir! Comes down the wicket and carves one over cover, generated enough power to take it over the infield, a couple of bounces and into the fence
1.5 Vinay Kumar to Gambhir, no run, width on offer, enough room for Gambhir to crack it towards point, doesn't pick the gap though, straight to the fielder
1.4 Vinay Kumar to Kallis, leg byes, 3 runs, poor ball from Vinay Kumar! Leg stumpish, Kallis was walking across to flick it towards fine leg, doesn't get bat on ball, goes off the thigh pad, good fielding in the deep by Harshal Patel, dives full length and saves a run
1.3 Vinay Kumar to Kallis, no run, sharp bouncer! That one kicked off a length and took Kallis by surprise, he was shaping for the pull but the ball was rising all the way, beats the bat and thuds into the gloves of ABD
1.2 Vinay Kumar to Kallis, no run, moves across off the seam, pitched on the good length area, Kallis goes back, covers the line and defends it to the off side
1.1 Vinay Kumar to Gambhir, 1 run, short of a length, holds a bit before coming on, Gambhir plays it late and glides it down to third man
Vinay Kumar, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
A slip and a gully for Gambhir!
0.6 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, pitches on middle and nips across Kallis, appreciable bounce and carry for Zaheer, Kallis lifts his bat and lets it go
0.5 Zaheer to Kallis, FOUR, that would give Kallis some confidence! Poor ball from Zaheer, back of a length and on the hips, tucked away to the vacant fine leg boundary, good way to get off the mark
0.4 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, another one that goes past Kallis' bat, pitched up again from Zaheer, hint of away movement, kept a little low compared to the previous deliveries, Kallis is looking dodgy
0.3 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, fuller one moving away from Kallis, he goes for the booming drive and misses it again, good start for Zaheer and Bangalore
The wicket has a lot of grass cover! Surprising indeed.
0.2 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, that was slanted across Kallis, slightly short, gets some extra bounce and Kallis goes slashing his bat at it, misses the toe end by just a bit
0.1 Zaheer to Kallis, no run, that one nipped back on the wicket after pitching on middle and off, Kallis was cut into half, he did well do defend it to the on side, Gambhir was half way down the wicket, not sure why, there was no run, sent back
Kallis and Gambhir are at the crease. Kallis is on strike. Zaheer will open the attack
Alright, the electrical problem has been sorted out. Kallis is walking out with Gambhir. Fasten your seatbelts folks, here we go! For those who are asking - no overs reduced. It will still be a 20 over game. Zaheer Khan has the new ball. One slip in place for Kallis.
Still no news from the venue! Wonder what the problem really is. It is not a complete power failure. We can see the big screen working fine. So are the audio systems.
Manoj Tiwary: The feeling is good. Losing early wickets has been the issue for us. We have discussed a lot of things in the team meetings. We need to execute our plans properly. Hope we play well and win.
The players had come out, but now they are walking back. Apparently, there was a small explosion due to a short circuit near the advertising boards. This is frustrating to say the least. Such a big game, terrific atmosphere and a delay at the start!
Packed crowd at the Chinnaswamy. There's a power cut and thus the slight delay. People who live in Bengaluru would not be surprised. The ground staff and the security are taking care of some issue with the wiring near the advertising boards. Dr. Mallya is here, Shah Rukh Khan is not seen anywhere yet. This promises to be a cracker of a contest. Let's find out how it pans out.
Vinay Kumar: The humidity is a bit high. All the players are feeling good. Coach is feeling confident. Bangalore's wicket generally favors both batsmen and bowlers. 170-180 will be a good score. It is a very good learning curve playing with Vettori, Gayle and ABDV. (Addresses the fans in Kannada).
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Manvinder Bisla(w), Jacques Kallis, Gautam Gambhir(c), Manoj Tiwary, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Ryan ten Doeschate, Rajat Bhatia, Brett Lee, Laxmi Shukla, Lakshmipathy Balaji
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Cheteshwar Pujara, Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers(w), Saurabh Tiwary, Mayank Agarwal, Daniel Vettori(c), Vinay Kumar, Harshal Patel, Zaheer Khan, Muttiah Muralitharan
Gambhir: It's important for us to turn it around, it's a long tournament but we can't play the kind of cricket we played in the first 2 games. It's just a matter of 1 game. Lee has a niggle in his hamstring but he said he is fit enough to play. We would've bowled first as well. Shakib and ten Doeschate return for McCullum and Narine.
Vettori: We always get good support here, they know their cricket as well. ABD is a classy player, he showed us what he can do. With Muralitharan in the side it makes my job a lot easier. We have spoken about momentum, that's important. Bowling first suits us, especially with Gayle back in the side. Gayle returns for McDonald, happy that Gayle is back - he was fantastic last year and hope for more of the same this year.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have won the toss and elected to field
Welcome to the match between Bangalore and Kolkata from the Chinnaswamy stadium. The first week of this tournament has been done and Kolkata are not in good shape. They have lost their first two games and they need a win desperately. Bangalore, on the other hand, looked good in the first game and they will be boosted by the return of Chris Gayle.
Preview by Siddharth Vishwanathan
With two back to back defeats, one more problem has been added in the Kolkata camp. The 'Problem of Plenty' term is always given a positive spin. In the current scenario for Kolkata, the 'Problem of Plenty' term will have to be looked at from a negative perspective. Packed with international superstars, the Kolkata team are struggling to pick the right team combination. Any team composition that is picked from now on will have to be meaningful if they are to reverse the poor start. Their task will not be easy, as they take on Bangalore in their fortress of the Chinnaswamy stadium. Despite the absence of Chris Gayle in the first match against Delhi, the Bangalore batting line-up did not look fragile. The bowling is in wonderful shape and this outfit looks a very competitive unit.
Team News: Kolkata
The problem with Kolkata has been the poor form of the top order. Barring Manoj Tiwary, no one has had a good start at the top. Jacques Kallis and Brendon McCullum have not got going while Gambhir has struggled. Yusuf Pathan has also not gotten into his big hitting stride and this will worry Kolkata. The only players who have contributed have been Debabrata Das and Manoj Tiwary. Lee has led the attack well but he has not had support from the others. Iqbal Abdulla, who was instrumental in building pressure last year, has not been able to replicate his performances from the previous year. The absence of Shakib Al Hasan continues to mystify one and all. On spinning tracks, Shakib's left arm orthodox spin might be just what the team needed. However, on the flat Chinnaswamy deck, and with the shadow of Gayle looming, he may continue to warm the bench.
Team News: Bangalore
The heart of every Bangalore fan sank when it was announced that Chris Gayle would not play in the match against Delhi. However, the performances of Andrew McDonald and AB de Villiers brought the cheer back to the Bangalore camp. The return of Gayle for this match makes their batting line up even more potent. The real ace for the Bangalore team are the spinners. Muttiah Muralitharan demonstrated that he has only gotten better with age. He put in a magical performance against Delhi, flummoxing everybody with his doosra as he returned with match figures of 3/25. Daniel Vettori was at his containing best while Vinay Kumar also impressed. They will be worried about the form of Zaheer Khan, who looked rusty and was carted around by the Delhi top order. However, by snapping up Sehwag for a duck, the inconsistences might not be focused upon so much now.
The key question is who will Gayle replace in the team for this match? With the return of Tillakaratne Dilshan, Bangalore have a dilemma of which foreign player to leave out. With only four foreigners allowed in the playing XI, the most likely candidates to sit out are Andrew McDonald and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
Face off:
Chris Gayle vs Brett Lee: When a fast bowler runs into a Gayle-force, the results are explosive. Chris Gayle has had the better of Brett Lee in most contests. When one looks back at the T20 WC in England, the 2010 and 2011 Indian T20 League editions, Gayle has handled Lee wonderfully. This face-off once again promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Brendon McCullum vs Bangalore: 2008, the first match of the Indian T20 League. Brendon McCullum for Kolkata against Bangalore smashed 158 runs off 73 balls. This remains the highest score in a T20 match ever. Fast forward to 2012, the teams and venues are same. The only question is, will McCullum produce an encore?
There are several battles fought in this war. The sight of two explosive openers from opposite camps going ballistic will thrill the crowd no end. Another cracking contest is on the cards.

Keith Urban launches "Raise 'Em Up" tour
It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since Keith Urban released his eighth studio album, "Fuse," which has spawned four singles – one number one, two other Top 10s and one track still climbing the charts.
The gems of the album, as far as critics are concerned, included two collaborative efforts. Urban recorded and released "We Were Us" as a duet with superstar Miranda Lambert. The song debuted at number 49 on the U.S. Country Airplay chart for the week ending September 21, 2013. It ultimately peaked at number one, also climbing to the top of the Hot Country Songs chart.
Meanwhile, Urban's current "Raise 'Em Up Tour" takes its name from the duet he recorded with Eric Church that has drawn high praise from critics and fans. Though the track itself hasn't been released as a single, Urban made the name part of his trek when the tour began in Calgary, Canada on July 12. It is expected to end on September 7 in Wheatland, California.
The setlist for Urban's current slate of shows includes 24 songs, including five encores – "Making Memories of Us," "Raining on Sunday," "Good Thing," "Better Life" and "Somebody Like You." While fans have been digging the performances, at least one got out of hand recently. Boston media reported that 50 were arrested and 46 treated for alcohol-related illnesses at one of Urban's shows in Massachusetts on July 26th.
Urban returns to the "American Idol" judge's table when the talent show premieres its 14th season in January 2015.
Keith Urban lights the 'Fuse' (updated 9/13/13)
There's not a busier musician out there right now than Keith Urban. Yes, he's elbow-deep into the release of his brand new album "Fuse." Yes, he's auditioning "American Idol" hopefuls in between promoting the album. And yes, he's currently on tour. Keeping that kind of schedule would probably overwhelm most stars, but most of them aren't like Keith Urban.
For anyone who's listened to Urban's eighth major studio album, you'll know "Fuse" is undoubtedly the most appropriate title he could've come up with. The album, in many respects, is the opposite of any record he's previously made. There are synthesized keyboards, more organic instruments (including the bouzouki), electronic ascents, and things you wouldn't normally find on a Keith Urban album. The end results is what USA Today called a "sonic stew" with eight different producers – including his first collaborations with Stargate (Rihanna, Beyonce), Butch Walker (Fall Out Boy, Train) and Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple).
An established artist veering so far off the beaten path might scare most label execs, but not Capitol & Virgin Label Group president Dan McCarroll. And Urban himself found the process creatively stimulating, debuting his new sound at places like the NFL Kickoff Party in Baltimore, under the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, and in a "Honky Tonk" Pub Crawl the week before the album's release. There were also morning show appearances, late-night talk show gigs and everything in between for an artist who now seems absurdly comfortable outside his comfort zone.
Beyond basking in the early success of "Fuse" (the first single, "Little Bit of Everything," is at its second week at No. 1 on the country charts), Urban is gearing up to work alongside new "Idol" judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. There's also the "Light the Fuse Tour" that will continue well into 2014 and include Little Big Town, Dustin Lynch and Brett Elredge (Canada only) as openers.
Updated November 15, 2012: Australia's 'Voice' joins American Idol
A renowned instrumentalist who plays acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, bass guitar, mandolin, piano and drums, Keith Urban was sought after for his vocal prowess in late 2011. He was confirmed as one of four vocal coaches for the Australian version of the reality singing competition "The Voice." The lineup eventually consisted of two Australians (the other was Delta Goodrem) and two international celebrities (Seal and Joel Madden), and was based on the original format first devised in The Netherlands as "The Voice of Holland" and later adapted for American television.
Urban announced on September 14, 2012 he would not return for a second season of "The Voice." Two days later Fox network officially announced he would be a judge on season 12 of "American Idol" alongside Randy Jackson, pop diva Mariah Carey and rapper Nicki Minaj. The confirmation settled months of reports and speculation about the show's panel, and thrust Urban into the spotlight thanks to the success of the country music genre on other reality singing competitions.
The country crooner recently appeared on the 2012 CMA (Country Music Association) Awards, performing his song "Georgia Woods" in collaboration with the Zac Brown Band. Prior to accepting the "Idol" gig, Urban was said to be working on a new album and new tour for 2013, and told The Tennessean he was working with new producers and songwriters and recording in different studios. There is currently no release date for the project, but Urban announced the first leg of his 2013 tour on November 15. It will kick off July 18, 2013 in Cincinnati, Ohio and end on October 5, 2013 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Joining him will be special guests Little Big Town and country newcomer Dustin Lynch.
Keith Urban Tickets - Artist History
Keith Urban is one of today's hottest country music stars, but you might be surprised about where he comes from. Most country singers making their rounds on the radio these days come from the American south, but Urban hails from Australia by way of New Zealand. He began his career in the Australian scene, and eventually worked his way into a contract with EMI, with whom he released his successful self-titled debut. In 1992, he left Australia and relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where he fell victim to a cocaine addiction. After battling and eventually recovering from the addiction, he signed with Capitol Nashville and released his U.S. debut, which is also self-titled, in 1999. Though the album peaked at just number 145 on U.S. chats overall, it eventually went on to be certified Platinum. More importantly, it won Urban the Top New Male Vocalist Award at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2001, helping him garner the buzz he needed. As a result, his subsequent albums caused him to skyrocket in popularity: All of his releases from Golden Road on have landed in the top 2 spots on U.S. Country charts to date, and each has been certified at least Gold in three countries.

Keith Urban Tickets - Other Information
Urban has battled addiction more than once in his life. In addition to struggling with cocaine in his earlier life, he also entered rehab for alcohol addiction in 2006. Urban has found the strength to emerge from both occasions victorious, however. His battle against alcohol inspired his album Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing, which became a huge hit. Urban is also married to Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

Changing My Perspective
Over the summer, I attended a Day of Discovery in San Diego. All I can say about that was WOW! My eyes were opened to the new possibilities for my classroom. It flat out changed the way I looked at teaching.
Every year, the students have to write an "Early Man" report. Every year I read pages and pages about the evolutionary process that I know were either written by parents or copied from the internet. At the end of the whole project, I know the students have not gained any new understanding or insight into the world of prehistoric humans. I was tired of the same old process. I was tired of hearing the groaning and moaning when I even mentioned the project to the students. This year, things would change.
With a little ingenuity, a little risk and a whole lot of 21st century skills, my students were introduced to college professors from throughout Southern California. They engaged in discourse with one another and college grad students who were focused on the same topic. They collaborated in person and on the internet. The excitement and interest in the topic was palpable as students developed questions, gathered data and reported their findings.
The results were 6 different slide presentations that delved far deeper into the subject of prehistoric hominid species than any of my former projects combined. The project redefined my ideas of depth and complexity. Although I still keep my students grounded in our everyday academic rigor, we are looking forward to future projects in which we get to stretch our abilities and ripple the waters of 21st century learning.

The Clayton GA course should have basket in by Saturday. Sleeves were cemented in this past weekend. The course is a short 9 hole course with not a lot of options. It's an open course and its short...all but hole 7.
The course is located behind the Clayton City Hall on Highway 76 west of town. The property that was given to use is an old school grounds. It has been used for storage of US Forest Service equipment, dumping of broken concrete and asphalt from city road projects and generally not maintained all that well. It's the only property the city would allow a course.
The course was done by a scout working on his Eagle Scout. It's the first course in the area so its a start.

Kids won't care that Eero Aarnio's design for the Trioli chair received Europe's most prestigious award for industrial design—but don't you want a playroom you can take pride in? Meanwhile, little ones will fall for its bright hue and multiple functions: it can assume two seat heights in the standing position, or be flipped on its side and used as a rocker. The rounded handle doubles as a grip for rockin' or for toting this lightweight, portable perch to the backyard.
Recipient of the 2008 ADI Compasso d'Oro Award. Seat height: 10.5" or 14.5", depending on orientation. Made of rotation-molded polyethylene. Suitable for outdoor use. Trioli is part of Magis' Me Too collection of children's furniture and accessories. 2-year warranty.
