*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

[King Pietersen]

Just for future reference what's the shouty man in the middle (before the toss) called?

Ravi Shastri?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea that's him

 

[King Pietersen]

Shot Gilly, that went like a bullet for six. Love watching this bloke bat, looking forward to seeing Hayden later on too.

Oof, have that. 2 sixers in a row for Gilchrist. Found his timing tonight!

 

[G.I.Joe]

KKR and Mumbai winning = dire.

Say whatever you want about those jokers, but take Mumbai's name in the same breath and you're dead to me.

 

[Jono]

KKR and Mumbai winning = dire.

What's wrong with Mumbai?

Btw, fair stay Gillaaaay!

 

[King Pietersen]

Gilchrist is playing a blinder. This is going to be an entertaining game.

 

[Scaly piscine]

If you're bowling Tyagi and Albie Morkel as your seamers to Gilchrist first up you may as well just start with spinners.

 

[Jono]

Typical Chennai, rely on their batsman.

 

[The_roc]

Why is Laxman opening?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Didn't need to come down the pitch there, no wonder Warne usually brings on a spinner very early to Gilchrist.

Confused by a ball that was bowled at the stumps

 

[Furball]

wtf was Laxman up to?

 

[chris.hinton]

Gilchrist is amazing to watch

I wish that guy in the crowd with that stupid horn would go away, its does not add anything at all

 

[Scaly piscine]

I think pretty much every member of this forum, fatties, children and geriatrics alike, would have made that run there.

Oh and Gibbs is a very over-rated T20 batsman.

Corrected.

I wanna see Symonds get going, so that he brings the MMi3 out. Hopefully Hayden'll use the MMi3 from the start.

 

[Jarquis]

Symond's is using the MMi isn't he? Edit : No he's not, just the way he was holding it when defending against Murali.

Probably wouldn't be wise for Hayden to use it from the start, can't imagine bumpers are the easiest delivery to play with that bat.

 

[Jono]

Hyderabad were always going to throw away their start because they are dumb so often.

Far out, you dont need to try and hit every ball for six.

Fair over from Murali before.

 

[Jono]

Stray dog on the field. Love India so much.

He was a quality one day player in his time, but I think he is just part of the "only here for the money" brigade now.

 

[Jarquis]

After such a good start this is a bit disappointing now.
