**Official* IPL 2016

[Daemon]

Mumbai is fun too, Guptill-Sharma opening combo plus Jos the boss. If only they still had a fit Malinga.

Yeah, had they played Guptill. Instead opting for Southee, strange for me.

 

[Niall]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Lions cruise this match, one good match so far. Not great whatsoever.

 

[Compton]

Key wicket early doors.

 

[Niall]

Missing proven IPL superstar Simmons this top order

 

[theegyptian]

Buttler really shouldn't be coming in this early.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Is there any day when DannyM does not mention Bollywood. Someone give him a movie contract. Maybe in villain role.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah it is a myth that getting Buttler in early is the best thing to do. He needs a platform.

 

[Compton]

Seems to be a bit of movement. What's a par score here?

 

[Daemon]

Bizarre.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Interesting that Raina is skippering a side that has Finch & McCullum in it

also not playing Guptill = insane. Is Southee even good any more?

 

[Daemon]

Hard dick's brother is playing for MI, that's pretty cool.

 

[91Jmay]

Danny Morrison should be shot into the sun

 

[Niall]

Bizarre.

Tough to know the logic in it whatsoever, Southee is a proven IPL failure and was toilet the other day.

Anderson would have made much more sense as not much difference in their bowling and of course Corey would have given this lot some much needed batting.

When the hell has Southee ever been good in the IPL?

Think you'd have to go back to the early days when Dravid was playing for those days.

 

[91Jmay]

Mumbai need another top order batsmen anyway. Hardik and Jos shouldn't be coming in at 3/4.

Just get Guptil in at opener move Patel to 3 and that batting line up is fine.

Yep. If the reason for Guptill's absence is what I think it is (just landing yesterday), then surely you go for Corey over Southee who's been bowling pies for months now.

 

[91Jmay]

Sharma
Guptil
Patel
Pandya/Buttler
Buttler/Pandya
Pollard/Rayudu
Rayudu/Pollard

That would be my batting order (Rayudu really not worth his place though that low)

 

[Daemon]

Parthiv's nearly 32 now, must really annoy the little kid when people still refer to him as one

 

[Daemon]

That went crazy high.

Also the WIndians need to **** this champion dance off ASAP.
