***Official*** IPL 2009

[TT Boy]

Played VVS. Only wasted 1 ball.

 

[sirdj]

Laxman goes for another duck.............may get dropped in the next match.

 

[Arjun]

Shocking running by Venu. Runs out Gibbs. Now it's pop-gun batting.

 

[TT Boy]

And Rao just sold Gibbs down the river.

 

[Arjun]

He tries to do the same with Ravi Teja, who says "No, I've seen enough!"

 

[King Pietersen]

Forget the throwing practise, they need some running between wickets practise! Especially Rao.

 

[Arjun]

Tendulkar drops one...but these lower-order batsmen have zero striking power. Easy targets in the final overs...for the bowlers.

And Lasith yorks Venu.

 

[Arjun]

I hate SET MAX!!!

They cut a drive by RP Singh to show an ad- good sense prevailed and they cut the ad and showed the ball.

 

[Arjun]

RP Singh tries to hit one six over off and is caught near the boundary by Sanath.

 

[pasag]

Great death bowling by Malinga.

 

[Arjun]

Gosh this Mandira Bedi is annoying. Her co-anchor Chang said that each time she's with him, there's rain at the ground. I wonder why it doesn't rain even when she isn't with him. At times she's painful to sit through.

 

[Arjun]

The Deccan Chargers team is very much like the Delhi Daredevils lineup of last season- all their weight is in the top four, and the rest of the batting lacks power. Actually, seems to lack everything, even the lower-order sting that Delhi had.

 

[Arjun]

For those who have some knowledge of Bollywood- this may be late, but Mumbai Indians have made the biggest high-profile sacking, at least of a non-cricketing personality- actor Hrithik Roshan has been cut out of their ads!

Fasten your seatbelts, here come Sanath and Sachin!

 

[Jono]

Rohit Sharma is so vital to this team. After him the rest are spuds (Sorry VVS, I love you, but this so obviously isn't your format).

Pitiful collapse.

Mumbai should walk this.

 

[Sanz]

Mumbai batting is weak and too dependent on Sanath/Sachin IMO Plus Deccan has the best T20 bowler in the world.

I thought Vettori played for Dehli .

 

[King Pietersen]

I don't think they do. They've got JP Duminy who's proven his talents against Australia, Shikhar Dhawan who had a very good IPL last year plus Bravo and Nayar who are both capable of some big hits. Not sure I agree with RP Singh being the best T20 bowler in the world either, he's a very good T20 bowler, but I'd take Malinga and an on form Nathan Bracken ahead of him in terms of pacers.

 

[Jono]

Sachin just decided to cut sick.

And he did.

 

[Sanz]

I thought Vettori played for Dehli .

RP Singh

 

[Jono]

Doesn't matter what format it is, Sachin is a gun
