Re: Indian Premier League
Fantastic win for Mumbai. We are on a roll now. Won 5 matches in a row. Pollock is bowling well and Jayasuriya is performing with the bat. The youngsters are also contributing.

Re: Indian Premier League
I think this pitch is not suitable for high scores. Kolkata should bat sensibly and aim for 150-160 and then Shoaib has to do his job. If Chennai win today then they are going to be in the semi finals.

Re: Indian Premier League
KKR have lost early wickets yet again. Ganguly was looking to go after every ball. Its not the right way to bat on this pitch; the ball is bouncing awkwardly. I don't see KKR making it to the semifinals, if the top order keeps failing like this. The loss of McCullum and Gayle has affected them badly.

Re: Indian Premier League
The loss of foreign players has affected both these teams badly but Chennai have a better side. The non perfromance of Ganguly is not helping Kolkata. Only David Hussey has been consistent. I'm hoping now that Chennai win this match because that increases the chance of Mumbai reaching the semifinal.

Re: Indian Premier League
They are too slow. Even to get to 160 you need to score at 8 an over. Everyone says bangalore is a test team but I think Kolkata has played like a test team too. They have always played slowly except in the first game. Chennai are doing a fine job but I think the batsmen are missing out.

Re: Indian Premier League
i wouldnt call them a test team but its definitely not playing like a t20 team. i think its more like an odi team. they start slow and try to accelerate at the later stages. its obviously not working for them. they lose their settled batsmen in the process and end up with a sub par score. in t20 you have to put the foot on the accelerator from the first over itself and its very important to take advantage of the first six overs.
its up to the bowlers now to do something special for kolkata. im backing chennai to win the game.

Shoaib has hurt himself before even bowling a ball. He is bowling wides all over the place :laugh:

Re: Indian Premier League
That was some brilliant batting by Nayar and Bravo in the last few overs which has won us the game. Deccan are too far behind the required rate.

Re: Indian Premier League
Ishant has been a big flop in this torunament. He is the highest paid bowler but worst bowler in the Kolkata team. If Rajastan will win today then Mumbai is guranteed into the semi finals I think we will make it irrespective of the result of this game but if Kolkata lose there will be less competition.
