Haha, Jayasurya 133*, Tendulkar 14* at the end IMO . Looking at him, his timing isn't all the way there yet. But they only need an RR of 5.5, so it doesn't much matter.

Millions of dot balls surrounding them.

Only because Jayasurya wants a breather.

 

[silentstriker]

Rotate the strike son, Tendulkar needs to get a single here.

 

[silentstriker]

And nevermind. He wasn't looking fluent anyway.

Peach by Joginder tbh. C'mon Chennai. Contestttt

Was just watching it - My God, Balaji has certainly lost a lot of pace. He is barely jogging in and there is obviously something weird still going on with his action if his stock ball is the outswinger despite a massively open chested action.

Ridiculous knock by Jayasurya.

 

[NZTailender]

Pollock 4-1-9-1. Such a gun.

Sanath!

Watched part of the highlights this morning before heading to Uni, and what a knock it was, and shame I could not watch him get his hundred. There really is nothing better than watching Jaya go berserk at the batting crease. Something so satisfying in watching that brutal savagery.

And yes, Pollock, 4 overs for 9 and one wicket? Pure gold.

Mumbai v Kolkata tomorrow is a huge game. Tendulkar failing yesterday is probabaly a bad sign for us, as might Jayasuriya coming into form. Mumbai bowl tight in the first 6 overs and we need to ensure that we do not lose more than a wicket in that period. We were good in this area v Delhi but two quick wickets meant that we couldn't really post a big total. Ganguly played an unnecessary shot to be out at such a crucial stage in that game. Given that Ganguly has been coming into form as well, Kolkata will want a good inning by him. Plenty of small things to look out for which will form the bigger picture in the game. Let's see what happens.
