Shaw should be dominating but has been disappointing this season: Watson

With the incredible talent that Prithvi Shaw posses, he should be dominating international cricket, feels assistant coach Shane Watson, who added that the opener's abject failure has been the biggest let down for Delhi Capitals this IPL season. Ahead of this edition's IPL, head coach Ricky Pointing had said this would be Shaw's breakthrough season. However, the prodigiously talented opener has failed miserably and was dropped after playing six games adding to Delhi's batting woes. "One of most disappointing parts for DC this season was Prithvi Shaw. He's one of the most beautiful batters to watch and take down the best bowling with the skills that he's got," Watson told reporters on the eve of DC's match against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. "And knowing that we gave him a big stretch to find his feet. We also knew he has been a little bit inconsistent as well in the past few years." Delhi's inconsistent batting unit afforded the 23-year-old another chance and Shaw made a stunn

I do not have an answer for that performance: Rajasthan Royals' Samson

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson had "no answer" to the dismal performance his batters dished out in the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, getting bundled out for 59 -- their third-lowest innings total ever in the T20 league. Faf du Plessis' RCB won the match by 112 runs after posting 171 for five. The visitors finished off the opposition in just 10.3 overs with South African quick Wayne Parnell emerging the most successful bowler with 3/10 from three overs. The famed Royals batting simply crumbled with the home team reduced to 5/28 in powerplay from which it could never recover. On the floundering campaign in the second half of the IPL, Samson said, "That is a great question, actually. I was thinking about it and where it went wrong. Sorry, I do not have an answer for that." Four Royals batters, including openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were out for duck, while Sanju Samson could only score four runs. Samson, though, put up a brave front sayi
