*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

[Cevno]

Anderson's action has changed a lot since then.

 

[Jono]

Well this one is over.

The favourite pre-match (before the toss) has won every game bar one.

 

[Bun]

well tbh that was rubbish batting (t20 viewpoint) by RCB..

 

[Jono]

Really need about 10 an over from here, poor innings so far.

Partnership has been fantastic I thought.

With Malinga at the end and so much batting to come both of these guys going at a SR of around 100 is pretty poor. Dilshan should have taken the aggressor role and went after the poorer bowlers a bit.

Not really saying he should have thrown the bat at everything but how many times has he even went over the top?

Yep, you were right, I was wrong. Total not even near enough in the end.

Has Vettori forgotten that Nannes is on his team?

 

[Cevno]

Nannes came on and bowled a wicket maiden .

Hasn't bowled since then.

 

[Bun]

Wow.. that was some brilliant running by Sachin...

 

[Jono]

Has Vettori forgotten that Nannes is on his team?

Extremely odd decision to not bowl him.

Another example of "keep bowler til the end even though game will be over by then" captaincy decision.

 

[Bun]

nannes is injured

 

[Cevno]

Sachin manages these innings so well.

When he is there ,not only his but his partners innings are also so well paced.
Neither do anything stupid and still keep the required run rate in check.

The real test for Mumbai will come ,when he gets out early specially in a chase.

 

[Jono]

Zaheer please quit IPL and just play international cricket.

Not only do you risk injury playing this, you're no good at it

 

[Cevno]

Do Banglaore have any other bowlers?

With Zaheer and Mithun every game,they will be in real trouble.

 

[Jono]

nannes is injured

Ahhh

 

[Cevno]

Tendulkar left him for dead there.

Lucky to survive.

 

[Blaze 18]

Didn't expect this to be this one-sided.

 

[ankitj]

Rayudu should play for India.

 

[Bun]

Yeah.. MI both games have been totally one sided. Pollard has hardly had any practise..

 

[Bun]

Good night's game I reckon

 

[Jono]

Mumbai are a ****ing well-drilled unit.

Going to be hard to beat. Their local players are pretty good (which is and always will be the key imo).

 

[Maximus0723]

Good batting display from man in blue. Liked Jacobs intentions.

Btw, why isn't Symonds playing?
