They had Hardik Patel bowl around the wicket to the batsmen's pads for a period of play. Who the **** does that with 2 whole days left in the match.

Bizarre

 

[Daemon]

Bleh, they're losing it. Stick around with Nayar ffs.

Not necessarily and you'd have points for wickets also. It has to be better than the current system which seems to produce stodge (although I suppose it does encourage the team behind on 1st innings runs to go for broke).

OK then, explain to me how you'd give bonus points so that 228 scores more bonus points then 328.

Chintin Gaja has a fivefer

His FC bowling average was 152 before this game

Well the game would be completely different. Patel instructed his bowlers to bowl rubbish wide of off-stump. He was already playing for a draw with the first innings lead. That probably wouldn't have happened if you got points for wickets.

You actually think this is a good system, first innings lead only requires a draw?

 

[harsh.ag]

Such a well set up game. Will probably all come down to Parthiv's batting.

Doesn't have to?

First innings Mumbai 10 Guj 15
Second innings Mumbai 15 Guj 15
Third innings Mumbai 18 Guj 12
Fourth innings - draw due to rain or some ****

Mumbai win by an arbitrarily decided daemon point

Their openers have done the bulk of scoring this season..

 

[S.Kennedy]

If Mumbai get to about 280 they will be feeling a lot happier.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Gujarat time wasting.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Good cricket this. Nayar. The tailender must be a complete McGrath like donkey haha.

 

[cnerd123]

Brilliant knock by Nayar. Scored 72 of his runs with the last 2 wickets. 326/8 to 411. 41 run last wicket partnership with no help from Gohli! Brilliant.

Mumbai to win this plz

 

[S.Kennedy]

Good opening partnership, Gujarat.

 

[indiaholic]

Yeah the Panchal guy is the highest run scorer this year. Average near 100 for the year. And support the underdog you ****s. Mumbai has already done this 41 times.

Gujarat's tactics yesterday made them hard to like.

 

[anil1405]

All set for an interesting final days play. Hope its close to being as good as the 2010 final.

 

[Shri]

Mumbai did the same against TN. **** them.

 

[cnerd123]

I was all for Gujarat till they started playing for the draw on the third ****ing day.

**** like that should be illegal.

That is basically my position also.

They were still doing the wide stuff today also. The spinner Bhatt was bowling some rubbish - one of them was (finally) given wide.

 

[Daemon]

Including the international players, which is the best side atm?

Delhi/TN?

Mumbai have Sharma and Rahane but no bowlers I think. On the other hand Delhi has Kohli, Dhawan, Ishant, Shami while TN get Vijay and Ashwin. Saurashtra outside runners with domestic beasts Poojara and the triple ton specialist.
