***Official*** IPL 2009

Does anyone not have a problem with Mandira Bedi getting so much screen time? She mistook Vinay Kumar for Praveen Kumar, in yet another stupid interview, complete with bad makeup and a frumpy dress. This is what makes me switch to news channels- they do a better job at discussing IPL.

Rahane finally came good. He needed a high position in the batting order to come good, and he played a very sensible innings to finish as the top-scorer, though he had fewer hits to the fence. He batted very smartly, often using deft touches rather than brute force, like Duminy did later on in his innings. Let's just hope he stays in the XI and gets enough chances to rake up more big scores.

Mithun bowled quite fast, but couldn't adapt to what was a rather unresponsive pitch, and the big-hitters got to him.

I avoid Indian TV pretty much at all costs, it's so bad it hurts.

MI 157/2 after 20 .... I just woke up so haven't seen the game. Is it a competitive total? I would rather have 175/6 than 157/2

Yes you rather think they could have made more having only lost the two wickets.

LOL, obviously?
the question I was asking is whether the total is competitive to those who were watching the game as based on the scorecard getting a higher score by losing more wkts is an obvious thought! .... Looks like you missed the point and focused on something that wasn't even a point :p

nice to see MI keep their semis hopes alive but too much shouldn't be read with a win over BRC though .... they have to pick up their game and win almost every game from now on, if they entertain thoughts of a semi place

don't know why Boucher played the way he did i.e not taking any initiative and giving strike to lesser batsmen to do the hitting!

Kolkata off to a really bad start, three wickets down for only seven runs. I stayed up to watch McCullum bat, and he gets given a shocker.

I read somewhere that the players only get paid for every game they play. Is that true?
They get paid for everygame there available for and for every game they don't play they get 80%

So Mashrafe is getting 450,000 for sitting on the bench not a bad deal, if you ask me :happy:

If that was your intention, then the statement after your question made no sense.
