This is not a shot-makers's wicket at all. Dwayne Smith tried to hit one six over long-on and was caught at the boundary.

We saw no wickets fall until the 12th over, and then wickets fall in a heap in few overs. That makes me wonder- is keeping wickets in hand a lot less relevant in T20?

Danny: "This has gone for another DLfel Maximum!"

Product Placement is taking a beating.

 

[Arjun]

Takka seems to be pulling out shots from nowhere. Wonder what happened to the more prolific Pinal Shah, who struggled in all the matches he got.

 

[Neil Pickup]

That's one of the worst overs of all time.

we will know that once the 2nd team bats .... as they say judge a pitch after both the teams bat on it

the later batsmen getting out has something do with the slow start as well as they had to cover too much in less time, which means that the shot selection is not always as it should be

MI finish off at 145 thanks to Takawala, who showed how it should have been done .... let's see how the Royals go abt it and how the MI bowl

 

[ret]

Royals 36/2 after 6 .... MI were 28/0 at similar stage

Royals 50/3 after 8 .... need 96 of 12 overs

 

[ret]

Royals need 44 of 19 balls

24 of 11

 

[pasag]

3 off 1 needed and Fernando bowls a wide.

 

[pasag]

Haha, Jayasuriya fumbles and Rajasthan win. Crazy choke.

 

[four_or_six]

Bloody hell, what a match.

Watto's teammates rescued him there, good for them.

 

[ret]

Royals remain unbeaten at home .... what a perfo by them

the way MI has played its cricket in the last 3 games, it deserves to be knocked out .... though technically its chances is still alive, if Chennai lose and they win

would recommend playing Tendulkar at #4 and Uthappa/Smith opening with Jayasuriya in the next game

 

[Ikki]

Tanvir is by far the best performing bowler in the IPL.

 

[honestbharani]

Guys, just cut out the childish behaviour, you're both way above this sort of stuff.

sorry James

 

[honestbharani]

Yeh i wanted to watch it but then again didn't want to seem them lose so i just left and it helped them win, god i shouldn't have watched any of their games if that was a sign.

And I was thinking the reason they lost so much was because their batting wasn't strong enough.

 

[sirdj]

Wow!! Mumbai choked and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Painful to see Sachin struggle with the bat.

You know they have problems when Sachin is the best fielder they have. They seriously need to work on their fielding at least to some extent..

Mumbai has now lost 3 in a row and those losses have been by 1 run (Punjab May 21), 1 ball (Delhi May 24) and now (May 26th) literally on the last ball to Rajasthan.

Supporting MI is not for the faint of heart!!

You are telling me

That was a fantastic advert for T20 yesterday... I was wondering if it would get lost between two cracking test matches but in the end it was a stunner.

 

[Jonty Lathwal]

sloppy fielding by sri lankans (Fernando & Jayasuriya) on the last ball.......

do or die now for indians......
