*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

Haha 5 wides chasing the batsman attempting the scoop. Good 4 as well.

He's better now than then. I don't care if Chappell had him looking good, he didn't have him scoring runs.

Mostly on subcontinental conditions though. He's not the one I would turn to in the kind of situation where Rohit and Sachin put on that match-winning partnership against Australia in the CB series final. Looks very iffy against the short ball.

Speaking of Rohit Sharma, still waiting for that boy to come good. Probably should go and play County cricket if someone's willing to take him on.

Junior Cheeekaaa!!! Saved the over...

 

[vic_orthdox]

Still managed to get a good over out of it. Geez, everything going right for Chennai.

 

[Teja.]

Very challenging total, could have been better if Hayden had not consumed 25% of his team's Innings scoring FA.

 

[Athlai]

Amazing they got a competitive score out of that. Hayden was atrocious and Raina had an angel on his shoulder.

 

[Jarquis]

Some awesome batting there from Raina.

 

[Jono]

Really tough for Mumbai.

62-38 in Chennai's favour I reckon.

 

[vcs]

Very competitive total. I hope Mumbai don't capitulate here and we get a nail-biting chase.

 

[Cruxdude]

168 should be a decent score. Expect the spin attack to win us the game despite Tendulkar. Raina though is awesome. I expect him to be a very good batsman for India in the future. Just needs to get better with the bouncer which I expect him to.

I'm a big Rohit fan. Huge one in fact.

But what has Rohit lately to show he's better than Raina? Both failed vs., the short ball at T20 WC last year.

That partnership was awesome though. That's for sure. Memorable match that one.

 

[social]

Predicted earlier that if either Raina or Dhoni were there til the end then CSK will win so not going to change now

 

[vcs]

Yeah, Sharma hasn't backed up his potential with performances, no doubt.

 

[Athlai]

Mumbai to take it easy if they play Bolly well IMO. Can see the likes of Pollard being decisive in chasing a moderate total like this if a good platform is set.

 

[pasag]

Going for them but Chennai don't deserve to win this, like Denzel winning the Oscar for training day. Should have a title, just not this one.

 

[vcs]

Rajasthan chased a similar kind of total in the first IPL final. That was a great match, hope we get a repeat. No Balaji to help out this time, though.

 

[Cruxdude]

Ashwin has indeed been a revelation. Good start there...

 

[Xuhaib]

Malinga is the best T20 player in the world.

Umer Gul says hi.

Nah GTFO, on both points you raised there.

Denzel > Russell Crowe that year.

 

[Jono]

Umer Gul says hi.

Who?




















Nah fair call. Malinga is close though.
