The IPL is over and all, and it was a massive competition. I love massive competitions! They give you a lot if numbers to crunch, thought Twenty20 deserved these numbers. Six and Out brings you some interesting stats:

Chennai Superkings have to consider themselves lucky. They were outplayed in every department of the game on Sunday by the Rajasthan Royals but still lost on just the final ball. The scorecard suggests a really close match, the highlights make you wonder how?
Chennai batted first and scored a formidable 168. Formidable as this was a […]

If you thought the first Semi Final was one sided enough, think again! This match really redefined one sided for me. Yuvraj’s…ahem….Preity’s boys came into the match with ultimate gusto and passion, as they always do. They were subjected to some great bowling from the Chennai Superkings.
Bundled out for a paltry 112, the end was […]

Oh yes, I am frustrated! Glen McGrath is on the top of my list of people I am frustrated with. This pitch had bounce, this pitch had carry, this pitch had movement. THIS PITCH HAD LIFE! Mr. Amit Mishra, this pitch HAD TURN FORGOSSAKE! You already know that despite all the above facts, Delhi allowed […]

After a long hiatus, six and out is back! Was watching the first semi-final of the IPL between the Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Daredevils. In previous meetings, both the teams have won their respective home games!
The match is being played in the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, certainly not anywhere near home for any of the […]

Continuing the series, sixandout dwells a little bit into the owners of the IPL Franchises.
Everytime I talk about the success of the Rajasthan Royals, people ask me : “Who owns them?” This post is for the most subdued owner in the Indian Premier League.
Emerging Media is the owner of the Rajasthan Royals. […]

I promised that I would come up with a detailed analysis of the possibilities in the IPL as of now. I am only considering the five teams which are already not out and which are already not in. I am going to go team by team, give a little insight and dare to predict their […]

Kings XI Punjab vs Mumbai Indians - 21st May 2008Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Robin Uthappa used to be one of my favorite cricketers. Used to be, that is! But when you run out Sachin Tendulkar, and that too in a situation when he was single handedly going to win the game for your team, well, the […]

If you lock yourself in a room alone and ask yourself yourself about a score you would be embarrassed about in a T20 innings. I bet it would be higher than 67. Even the Knight Riders thought so. Was it stupendous bowling, a lethal pitch or remorseful batting? We may never know because when Mumbai […]
