Pepsi Indian Premier League - Season 6

[venkkiram]

:lol: why lol?

[venkkiram]

Watching now the replay of yesterday's match " Sunrisers Hyderabad v Kings XI Punjab "

Vihari's batting is very promising.

Azhar Mahmood's one handed attempt to hold the ball is one another beauty from this series.

[ajaybaskar]

Rain predicted for today's CSK vs KKR match. :(

[Dilbert]

Forecast Hurricane Gayle enroute to bendakaluru.. ! Ofcourse Kohli Brand Fireworks will also be part of today's festivities!

[VinodKumar's]

Rain predicted for today's CSK vs KKR match. :(

Last time also we had same problem right ?

[ajithfederer]

Yes and Ironically/coincidentally between the same teams.

[CEDYBLUE]

Its not looking too good at at the moment :(

[vanchi]

Sir sir sir :notworthy:

"I think CSK finds it insulting to chase down 6 an over. They deliberately jack up the RRR to 10 an over before they start the chase

konjam SJ Surya'ishaa irundhadhu :oops:

[ajaybaskar]

Won. But not in the manner we shud have. Raina and Vijay.. :evil:

[CEDYBLUE]

Good Win and special performance from Jadeja

Comments from Gambhir is really interesting

"Some schoolboy errors to be honest. When you bat first, you cannot be 46 for 1 and then 91 for 8. The pitch gets better under lights. Both Senanayake and Narine did a fantastic job by taking it till the last over. We have not been professional enough and not been upto the mark. You cannot expect your bowlers to defend 119 on such a beautiful wicket"

[ajithfederer]

Vinod, Has RR ever made it to the top 4 other than the 1st season?

[SoftSword]

oh bad dravid... good work still...

[VinodKumar's]

Vinod, Has RR ever made it to the top 4 other than the 1st season?

No..i think their best after first season is 2012 ...

[19thmay]

konjam SJ Surya'ishaa irundhadhu :oops:

puriyala? today RR scored just 117 and you know how much KKR scored before. Whats there to laugh? Chauvinism was the reason I guess. I think almost all the teams has failed miserably in this season here and there. Why only Punjab? Infact DD was way below KXI and none of them was making fun.

[Dilbert]

Gayle Karnan -- " Crowd asked for it, I gave it " Superb Finish :clap:

When Rohit sharma gets going in IPL he is unstoppable ...

[HonestRaj]

viru viru maandi virumaandi... Sehwag :clap: :clap:

[19thmay]

Gilli dropped a sitter... and a miss field by a youngster at mid off to four... :banghead:

[ajaybaskar]

I dont like Rohit too, esp his attitude. Bowled aanaa kooda umpire'ai paathu thalaiyaattikitte povaan. But when he is in flow, he is a treat to watch.

[CEDYBLUE]

Kudos to Alan Donald for picking Luke Wright and dropping Matthews......Great Hitting and he could be quite an handful in the tournament going forward....Bringing Ross for Smith and Samuels for Mendis would complete the cycle.

[CEDYBLUE]

Delhi's win today is good and I think KXIP will lose today...the tournament is getting to a very interesting phase....
CSK is looking solid, but RCB is looking red-hot. Mumbai Indians continue to pay for Ponting's place in the team and I think they will have more reversals as other teams such as PWI and DD gain momentum. SRH will slide downhill quite fast.

[19thmay]

Take that..............................

[19thmay]

Chasing 185 under lights in 120 balls is not an easy joke.... :jadeja's celebration:

[VinodKumar's]

Shewag, Mandeep and Miller :clap: ...

What a day ... Two fantastic chases and Novak dethroned Nadal ...

[ajaybaskar]

Missed watching KXIP chase. But always believed that Miller is a special talent.

[ajithfederer]

6-2 7-6 it is

RR! Removing Vijay-Raina-Badri wickets not going to help much. Even if they stay there till end of 20 overs, you will sure win. Do not leave Hussey to settle. Get him out asap.

and bravo's kept us hopeful as he is capable of hitting a six even in the last ball...

CSK to the top of the table.... :notworthy:

even the icons are bleeding yellow...

[VinodKumar's]

Couldn't enjoy Dravid's direct hit :banghead: ... lot of fumbles in RR side ... they need to look into it ..

[VinodKumar's]

5/7 this is the best opening record for CSK in any season ...

[SoftSword]

wins: 5
MOMs: huss 3, jad 2... still a worrying sign...

[venkkiram]

Hussey RAina Bravo :clap: ... Venki you beeti :notworthy: ... Sorry Dravid :( Its Hussey who makes CSK shine! And he continues to prove it. Rest I do not rate that much! Post Watson, the batting was sloppy by the successors.. otherwise anything close to 200+ was doable if Watson's effect would have continued by his successors.

[arulraj]

Dravid about CSK.. After getting every wicket someone is coming as matchwinner.

[VinodKumar's]

wins: 5
MOMs: huss 3, jad 2... still a worrying sign...

Dhoni is in good touch .. Problem is Vijay's out of form , Jadeja's bowling and death bowling ... Jakathi will be much better than Jadeja in bowling dept ...

[SoftSword]

jadeja was pretty good in the previous games... just that today he was not off the mark... watson picked him very well, he was in that kinda of a form...
i would say jakati for vijay maybe... he deserves a rest after so much of contribution...

[ajaybaskar]

I thought Vijay's misfielding which cost us 4 runs would be the difference. Thank god!! Bravo finished it.

[hamid]

Did you guys notice, Dhoni asking Bravo not to cross when he was getting out?? Brilliant... normally we do see people show anger, irritation or emotions at losing their wickets at the crucial juncture.. great to see him still assess the situation and his mind was dong calculations all the time and put the team in front.. Brilliant I say..

but despite his signalling Bravo did cross :|

also, he showed signal to send Morris instead of Badri I guess...

[VinodKumar's]

Yeah ...he was calm and cool and immediately started thinking about what next :notworthy: ... guess what would be Kohli's reaction there :lol: ...

[ajaybaskar]

Yes. But Bravo was watching the ball and didnt notice MS' gesture.

[SoftSword]

also, he showed signal to send Morris instead of Badri I guess...

Cricinfo Report

The fastest hundred in T20 history was built on the misery of others, most notably a struggling franchise whose owners watched shell-shocked at their team's bowlers being taken apart with a ruthlessness only a game of Cricket '97 powered with cheat codes could have matched.

"Bangalore's IT companies will soon file a case against Chris Gayle for bringing the productivity down. I can see cricinfo website open on everybody's system." - Cricinfo Comment

[Dilbert]

RCB - 2 Mistakes so far
1) CSK match was pure bad luck on RP Singh's part
2) SRH match super over , They shouldn't have let the match go in to super over in first place. The only team which challenged them a bit.
Hope they could continue this form till Semis (oh sorry Americanized now)Playoffs

Gayle Storm!

Allan Donald, the Pune Warriors coach, has said that his players were "scared" after the thunderous assault from Chris Gayle, which set up an enormous 130-run victory for Royal Challengers Bangalore. A day after the demoralising defeat, Donald admitted that he feared the "mental damage" the innings might have caused his players and said his biggest challenge was to keep them positive for the remaining eight matches.


"We came across a bloke yesterday who was just devastating," Donald told ESPNcricinfo in Bangalore. "I have never seen hitting like that in all my life. To see our guys getting pummeled like that was unbelievable. When I walked out for the first strategy break, I just saw people scared, really scared. I just mentioned to the players that if we don't pull this back here, he is going to take us down big time, which he did."

No surprise there, when a man his playing innings of his life everything looks dismal. We should consider ourselves as privileged ones having witnessed one of greatest batting of our time.

He is in good form, that innings surely sent most opposition camps back to drawing board. Till now whatever the strategy they have for him has gone out of window with that knock.

Fleming was spot on ! CSK was lucky to win this match. Not sure whats with CSK making regular matches in to Nile biters.

Mr Kaptan Thony :clap:

[scorpio]

Why are we not using 2 specialist spinners as part of the line up? :shock: When Ashwin is bowling so well with a great economy match after match, we should have another spinner complementing him. Jaddu doesnt fit that slot, Jakati need to replace Mohit.

Half way through the tournament and the team just doesn't infuse confidence :hammer:

[satissh_r]

Jakati need to replace Mohit

Noooo! He's a great find for us, I hope Dhoni doesn't use him in the slog overs, that's all. Alternately, we can drop that Holder fellow

[VinodKumar's]

Holder will be dropped when Morkel or Nannes is fit. Yes Mohit can be replaced by Jakati. Next match athaan nadakumnu nenaikiraen.

[scorpio]

Jakati can replace an Indian player only......Chennai, Kolkatta maadhiri known slow n low venues-la kooda namma 2 spinners play paNNa maattEngrOm, which is a very wrong move.

If we play Mohit, the other Indian player who is a waste of space and can be replaced is Vijay. But, Jakati can't replace him. Anirudhha probably.

Earlier seasons-la ellam 2 foreign pacers, 2 Indian spinners vechu aadinOm which worked out very well for us. Wonder why we have become a pace heavy side this season.

[scorpio]

I still don't understand the value Bravo adds to the side....horrible death bowling and mostly a failed bat :roll:

Vijay and Raina both need :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: Our batting is getting over dependent on Hussey and Dhoni.

Gambhir is not happy. No, let me rephrase that, he is angry. He had a lot to say to Balaji after the first six was hit but after that last-ball maximum he had lost it. Totally. He goes into the dugout mumbling loudly at no-one in particular, needs to cool down before he gets down to his batting.

Some interesting & contrasting comments about Gambhir's reaction...

Satrajit: "I dont really have a problem with a captain giving a mouthful to his troops, when they deserve it. The same Gambhir dedicated last year's win to Balaji when they won. I like the passion on show from Kohli and GG. Disagree with people who always compare them to the iceman Dhoni! Methods might be different, but they are equally effective!"

Dxex: "Gambir is showing exactly why he can never be India's captain... he's too easily unsettled and emotional when it comes to his players... by reacting this way he is giving his team mates the impression that the total is out of their reach.... not good captaincy."

balaji must be happy now!

Gambhir : //

I think it was a fantastic effort from our bowlers to restrict them to 149.

About Balaji, it was frustrating that he did not execute what we had planned in the meeting, and sometimes things happen in the heat of the moment.

//

When team convincingly won the match by chasing 149 with 6 wickets in hand, why the hell he specifically broadcasting Balaji's inability? I could agree his open criticism if his team lose this match. Yet to handle the situation with maturity. Then how about the useless Pathan occupying the team 11 just for sake of it?

Apparently, this is his second such 'heat' moment this IPL

[satissh_r]

Venki sir, not sure if you saw how he had a go at Balaji in the middle of the final over itself, and then when the last ball went for a 6 he totally lost it. Only team I don't like in IPL is KKR, thanks to this fellow and the owner

[CEDYBLUE]

Just when one thought that SRH's extended honeymoon period in this year's IPL has come to an end, Darren Sammy has held them together today.....Good fifty under the circumstances from the West Indian captain.......

[CEDYBLUE]

144 is a terrific recovery

Yes he is. Worked up Gayle. Malings was teasing Gayle. If only Johnson could bowl this well against the Poms. Liked Tendulkar's assault on Rampaul. I liked this more than the laborious 50 from last match. If he could just provide this start every match it would be good for his form.

Johnson seems to be bowling well 8-)

Kohli said,
where all "Indian players are appreciated". "Whoever wins or loses, in any of the games in Bangalore, every captain is cheered, every Indian player is cheered. People appreciate good cricket." - Is it ? Good night.


This comes on the same day former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, in a newspaper column, backed the Mumbai crowd's "big heart". "The beauty of a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai is that there are enough supporters of other teams, so there won't be the one-sided expectations as in some other cities - where if your team does not do well, there's silence, while there is raucous applause for even a single off an inside-edge if it comes from the blade of their batsmen," Gavaskar wrote. "Mumbai has a big heart to accommodate such behavior, for it has seen how most people who have made careers and a profitable living in the metropolis after coming from outside still do not have affection for it." - adda adda adda.. yappa yappa yappa.. yamma yamma yamma..
