IPL, Match 35: Royal Challengers Bangalore v Rising Pune Supergiants in Bangalore, May 7, 2016

Fails of the Match

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Parvez Rasool: This is why; I think the word "all-rounder" is thrown around too much. How can someone with an economy of over 12 an over and strike rate of double figures be possibly considered a "all-rounder" in T20. 5 fours and 1 six in his 3 overs pretty much means he bowled an over of boundaries. On top of that, not a single wicket was taken in his spell. He should have just sat there and did nothing and his team would have won easily. Often players with bad economy manages at least 1 over of good, tight, stuff and lost the plot in other overs. This was not the case for Rasool, he was bad every over. Giving away more than 10 an over, consistently! Rasool has no counter to the batsman’s he bowled to, nor is he able to adept his bowling plan. Rasool was bowling similar deliveries every ball, and expecting different results. This was insanity and he should quit playing professional cricket forever.

Rising Pune Supergiants

Thisara Perera: If you think Parvez Rasool was disappointing. Check out this failure of a performance from Perera. Not that I think Rasool had any excuse for being bad, Perera is a consistent intentional player for Sri Lanka. How can someone with this much experience do so bad? Maybe he wasn’t taking enough drugs before this match…With economy of over 13 an over, 5 fours and 2 sixes. If some random everyday carpenter bowled with a blindfold on, he probably will bowl better than Perera. What was most disappointing being his last over. Giving away 5 fours in one over and going for no less than 20 runs. I was completely lost for words. Supergiants should not be paying Perera to play for them but Perera should be paying the Supergiants for his spot on the team. The only logical conclusion you can come up with for Perera’s performance is he was match fixing. He was probably betting on himself to give away 40 runs.
