tendulkar gone! .... another ODI type of inning from him .... brisk and confident but not T20 dominating

10 times in nearly as many games.

6.1 Vettori to Bopara, OUT, strikes immediately, tossed up on the off and dipped into Bopara, there was no spin on that one, he came forward to defend and was struck in line with middle, that was plumb
RS Bopara lbw b Vettori 22 (16b 0x4 2x6) SR: 137.50

10.4 Ojha to Chopra, OUT, done in by the spin! Gave him the charge even before it was bowled, saw him come down and dragged it slightly short on the off and got it to spin away as he pushed at it, Gilchrist took it cleanly and clipped the bails to find him well short
A Chopra st Gilchrist b Ojha 11 (19b 2x4 0x6) SR: 57.89

10.5 Joginder Sharma to Kohli, OUT, and Jogi hits back, a touch slower, Kohli looks to loft iot, no foot movement, and it goes miles in the air, towards extra cover, Badri and Raina converge, the calling seems clear as only Badri goes for it and holds on
V Kohli c Badrinath b Joginder Sharma 11 (12m 13b 0x4 1x6) SR: 84.61

10.1 Pietersen to Patel, OUT, Will he ever? Strategy time-out has worked for Bangalore. KP bowls full and straight, and Parthiv slog-sweeps all over it, and Uthappa collects the off stumps
PA Patel b Pietersen 30 (41m 26b 2x4 1x6) SR: 115.38

10.2 Pietersen to Raina, OUT, is this the charm of KP or what? Hayden is gone, run-out. Raina wants to get off the mark, drops it towards point, and charges off. Hayden responds, but there never was a run in there, Dravid rushes in, swoops, and throws in a single fluid motion, and hits the off stump, beating Hayden's dive
ML Hayden run out 65 (43m 35b 9x4 2x6) SR: 185.71

10.3 Ojha to Pietersen, OUT, clever bowling, daft shot, simple stumping! Ojha tosses it up unabashedly, lures KP out of his crease, playing across his stumps, he misses all ends up and Gilchrist mops up
KP Pietersen st Gilchrist b Ojha 11 (15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 73.33

10.3 Vettori to Dhoni, OUT, and Vettori strikes, this is quicker and flatter, Dhoni looks to force it through the off side, gets an edge, Karthik, wearing the baseball mask he got from Peter McGlashan, juggles it but catches the rebound. Delhi are back through the old wizard
MS Dhoni c Karthik b Vettori 5 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 71.42

10.5 Patel to Hodge, OUT, the bowling change works and Rawat's in business again, Munaf teases him outside the offstump and gets the ball to move away off the seam, the ball takes the outside edge as Hodge prods forward half heartedly
BJ Hodge c Rawat b Patel 5 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 71.42

10.3 Chawla to Dravid, OUT, trouble for Bangalore as Dravid departs! He chips down the track to go downtown but fails to get to the pitch of the ball, the ball swirls in the air for a while and VRV Singh sprints from long-on to his left and takes it comfortably, Chawla deserves credit for cutting back on the pace and giving it more flight
R Dravid c Singh b Chawla 10 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 76.92

10.5 Ojha to Tendulkar, OUT, and that's smart bowling again, almost a replay of the first ball, Tendulkar steps out, makes room to go over extra, but this is too full, and he ends up hitting it straight to Gibbs at extra cover. And once again, a wicket falls immediately after the time-out, and his timing has looked off right since the break
SR Tendulkar c Gibbs b Ojha 36 (27b 3x4 2x6) SR: 133.33

Not sure if it's Gavaskar, but the commentator mocking the west indian accent - doesn't he realise that it's an incredibly stupid and insensitive thing to do?

Jesus christ!

He scored at a faster rate than Gibbs.

Mumbai lose another. Ojha doing awesome atm.
Gibbs had Gilly and Smith firing on at the other end so can't be compared. Tendulkar, i felt, needed to take more initiative

yep, Ojha and RP are the guys in form!

61 needed of 30! Guys who can do it for MI, Bravo and Nayar are at the crease and then Bhajji and Zak can swing their bats too

Dont understand why Gilly is saving RP for ? 2 OVers and 26 runs..this match is still in balance. I hope RP wins it for Deccan.

Come on RP !! Dont lose it for Chargers...just because I said you were the best T20 bowler..you dont have to prove me wrong..

Mumbai's weak bowling has given away the match. Dhawal Kulkarni is not international standard, while Sanath can't be depended on to bowl regularly. Time for Kyle Mills to come in for the next match.

168 is even score. I would blame Mumbai batting.

Mumbai Bowling :- Zaheer, Malinga, Bravo, Bhajji, Sanath and Dhaval Kulkarni
Deccan Bowling - Edwards, RP, Ojha, Harmeet, Smith, Rao, Sharma
