*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

[GraemeSmith]

Commentators keep mentioning the blimp but have they even shown a bird's eye view of the stadium so far?

 

[Athlai]

Apart from 2 games he has been very average, 6 out of 10 games he has been striking less than 100, for a opener in the powerplay overs thats not good enough.

Obviously the anchor in the GaCullum partnerships.

 

[Athlai]

Impressive fight back from Kolkata but likely not to be enough.

 

[Manee]

Lucky not to have a fifth wicket fall early to either Bollinger or Ashwin though.

 

[Manee]

Bit late, I know, but it is good to see Ali Murtaza bowl well for the Indians, he should be in line for an India ODI or T20 spot in a year or two, considering how prolific he was in the ICL.

 

[shivfan]

Gayle opens the bowling....

And gets the wicket of Hayden!

 

[Sir Alex]

Yeah Matt, that's what you get when you play with your son's bat.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Vijay

I'm in full support of someone murdering Danny Morrison!

 

[Shri]

Haha, what happened to Morrison btw?

 

[Uppercut]

Was just thinking that Kumble might be the best Twenty20 spinner in the world as well, haven't looked at his stats but he's just so hard to score off. Would certainly have him in the Indian starting XI before any other Indian spinner.

Good call this. But remember how dire he was in the year or so before he retired? I suspect if he was still playing international cricket he wouldn't be so good.

 

[G.I.Joe]

It's a domestic tournament in name only, it's a business first and foremost and besides what's wrong with having more top class players?

Start one that isn't the Indian Premier League, and you'd have a point. You're far off the mark.

 

[King Pietersen]

Vijay

Agreed, looks a real class player. Amazing that he didn't start playing the game until he was 17; and managed to get to FC level in just 5 years.

 

[Sir Alex]

Disagree, looked like it may have come straight off the pad to me.

Haha, now Dougie robbed imo.

Simon apologised to Ashwin for the error afterwards.

Doug's lbw of Ganguly was one of the worst in this year's IPL. Hit him outside leg by a margin.

But I think the second one was debateable. Nobody other than doug appealed.

 

[R_D]

****ing Kartik imbecile sawing off the one guy who could win them the game, as well as dropping a catch of Collingwood earlier.

I love Colly as a players but there's no way Collingwood was going to win that match for Delhi.... It was over soon as Warner, Sehwag and Gambhir went out for not too many.

Collingwood's good as second fiddle...He needs someone else blasting at the other end.... he's not going to do it all by himself.

 

[R_D]

Good to see Raina hit some form though

Kolkatta

 

[Avada Kedavra]

My money is still on DD..just too destructive a line up...Sehwag Warner Gambhir Dilshan AB Karthik....and Dilshan must play....he can be destructive

 

[Avada Kedavra]

Vijay looks like a great test prospect for India.That century he made was full of pure cricket shots..no ugly slogs and heaves

 

[Cruxdude]

IPL this year has been so very topsy turvy. CSK is suddenly No 2 and can still possibly end up not in the semis. Will probably go with MI, CSK, DD, RCB for the semis.

Yea not like he could blaze 7 sixes in an innings is it.

 

[Sir Alex]

Yea not like he could blaze 7 sixes in an innings is it.

Against an attack comprising Harby, the slinga, zak, etc on a slow pitch? Don't think so.
