Re: Indian Premier League

Yeah Shoaib just changed the game. He was playing after 5 months but still managed to perform. I think he has improved. He gave 100% on the field and at the presentation he was very humble.

Sachin is fit to play tomorrows game. I cant wait for it. :D
 
Re: Indian Premier League

I think we had a good chance of sealing a semi final berth yesterday but unfortunately both out of form players Karthik and Tiwary came good for Delhi. I think we have to win both the remaining matches now to get to the semifinal or if Chennai loses the next game we have to win one game. Its hard but Mumbai can do it.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

We are on fire. We need to wicket of Dhoni and the game will be all but over. The double strike by Kulkarni in the last over has crippled Chennai. Brilliant bowling.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Only Punjab and Rajasthan are a surety in the semi-finals. If Chennai lose their next game and Mumbai win just one then they'll be through along with Delhi. The last few matches are sure to be exciting.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

What a start! Jayasuriya is dealing in just fours and sixes. Nothing can stop this man. This is what the whole Mumbai was waiting for. I hope Tendulkar plays an explosive innings too.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

wow what an amazing match! this was the best comeback made by any team in this ipl. i thought ganguly was sleeping but then he went beserk and started hitting sixes at will. when gul hit the two sixes at the end of the 15th over the flow of the game just changed completely.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Everyone was expecting Sachin to play a special innings but Jayasuriya has fulfilled the wish today. 100 is in sight for Jayasuriya.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

I was about to switch off the Television after the 15th over(71 required off 30 balls). In walked Gul and the match turned on its head. There was a flurry of boundaries as Kolkata covered 28 runs in the space of 5 balls. I thought Ganguly had left if for too late, but he was extremely self-confident. He stayed there till the end and ensured that his team won, which he hasn't done too often in ODI cricket as he opens the innings. He was extremely calm under pressure and managed to win the game with two balls to spare!
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Fantastic batting. This is one of the best innings along with Gilly and Mccullums hundreds. What a way to finish the match.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

yeah you are right he had confidence in himself. dada showed exactly why he is a legend. i thought he was wasting too many balls to get settled for a t20 game but i was so wrong. once he got settled nothing could stop him. he even refused a single of the last ball of the 19th over to keep the strike. now that shows how confident he was. and gul was amazing too. his sixes provided momentum. even at the death his bowling was superb and shifted momentum towards kolkata. the match was mostly boring but just the awesome finish made it one of the great matches of this ipl.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

He went crazy last night. I still cant believe how he was hitting sixes with ease. Now we have 4 wins in a row after 4 losses and things are looking good. If we beat Kolkata in the next game then we have a good chance to be in the top 4. I think we can do it as we have already beaten them once.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Oh god. What the hell happened. Disgusting bowling by Fernando in the last over. :cursing: How could he bowl a wide off the last ball. I felt like smashing up my TV. That has cost us the semi final spot. Now only way we can enter is if Dhakkan Chargers win against Chennai :eek:
Thats like hoping for a miracle.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

delhi have been on a losing streak but they have a chance to break it today. deccan have very weak bowling. i think delhi is going to destroy them.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Wow this topic has been inactive for the last few days. People had too much of T20 cricket? I have been too busy. I am watching an IPL game after almost a week. :D
As a Mumbai supporter its disappointing that we were out. All the losses were so close but we couldnt handle pressure. I went to watch the game against punjab. We could have won so easily but they made a mess. And then against Rajasthan the same happened. :cry
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Probably because the teams most of us were supporting are out of the semi-finals. Also, since there is a game on every single day the interest level goes down slightly.
Today's result was unexpected to me. I thought this would have been a much more competitive match. I don't consider Punjab to be a very strong team, but they have managed to win most of their matches mainly because of Marsh. I was expecting another fine performance from him, but the law of averages finally caught up with him. Except him and Sangakkara, who chose to walk today, none of their other batsmen have scored even 300 runs.

I'm expecting Rajasthan to win the finals, but anything can happen on a given day in a T20 game. Lets hope it turns out to be exciting unlike the semi-final games.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Afridi hasn't fired in the IPL. He has the chance to make amends today. Gilchrist and Afridi have to come up with an exceptional performace today because Delhi have packed their team with high quality international bowlers.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Wow Dhakkan Chargers have lived up to the expectations for the first time. At the moment these high quality bowlers are being treated as 3rd grade domestic bowlers. Mcgrath going at 10 an over is a very rare sight.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

chennai has fropped pathan twice. i think they have dropped the IPL trophy. rajasthan are going along very comfortably now.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

I think that it might be good if we dont get the wicket of Aakash Chopra. He doesnt score runs at a good pace so it will only create pressure on Butt and Ganguly. They should try to keep Chopra on strike as much as possible.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

It's going down to the wire folks. Yusuf is out now and it's upto Warne and Tanvir to score the winning runs. Just as I write, Warne hits a four! 8 off the last six balls. Surely Rajasthan can't lose now, can they?
 
Re: Indian Premier League

They've done it! Rajasthan have won the final! Wow, what an exciting final it was! Went down to the last ball of the innings. Now that was worth all the hype. I think Rajasthan deservingly won this match, another good performance by Yusuf Pathan with the bat and bowl! Sohail Tanvir was expensive with the ball today but he made amends for that by scoring the winning run off the last ball of the match.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Dont want these two to settle. Unlike Chopra, they can cause some damage when they are settled. We saw that the other day.
Brilliant Pollock gets hussey!
 
Re: Indian Premier League

this was worthy of a final tag. great way to finish the ipl. im very happy for rajasthan. they played like champions throughout and deserved to win. they are the last team anyone would have thought would win at the start of the tournament.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Wow 4 wickets for Pollock! All the top batsmen except Ganguly are out. Kolkata are in big big trouble. I think this pitch is supporting the bowlers.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Fantastic game! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Chennai could have won this game if they had taken the chances offered by Yusug Pathan. I think they way Rajasthan have played thoughout this tournament, they deserved lift the (expensive but rather ugly) trophy.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

this pitch looks very conducive to fast bowling but some batsmen have thrown the wicket away looking for quick runs. i think this might be the lowest score of the tournament. they need at least 100 to challenge but i dont think thats possible.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

The commentators were saying that this is the same pitch were Jayasuriya made a 100 the other day, thats definitely not a encouraging sign for Kolkata. They need at least 100 to compete.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

cant see kolkata winning unless shoaib gets a 5 fer or something. things have worked out perfectly for mumbai today. batting second on such a wicket is always a advantage because you dont lose wickets trying to score quick runs.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Well not a 10 wicket win but hoping for 9 wicket win. We need to win comprehensively to increase the Net run rate.
