Tanvir vs IPL team

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lions won the toss and elected to field

 

[avidlearner]

CSK Persisting with nearly same combo and that too without Mike Hussey in the batting order. Need to score at least 160 to be competitive on this surface against the home team.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lions won the toss and elected to field

 

[Justcrazy]

Good match will be this

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK would be looking for a big total here

 

[mithun_minhas]

Sohail Tanvir breaks the bat with 120kmph thunderbolt.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

7 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

16 / 0 after 2 overs

 

[avidlearner]

Good start from Faf

 

[mithun_minhas]

Du Plesis is a super batsman!!!!

Tanvir getting some stick here.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[avidlearner]

Vijay too have started well

 

[Justcrazy]

31 / 0 after 3 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

33 / 0

 

[avidlearner]

Chris Morris has bowled a good first over here

 

[avidlearner]

Painful blow into the right hand of Faf , bowled by Nannes

 

[Justcrazy]

Good start by CSK

 

[Executioner]

MMW words Du Plessis will be ranked as a top batsman in the near future

 

[avidlearner]

Effortless 6 from the bat of Vijay against Nannes

 

[Justcrazy]

43 / 0 after 5

 

[Executioner]

dont get why hssey was dropped

btw, is this home for highvel lions? poor crowd

 

[avidlearner]

Yet another tough over in progress from Morris.

 

[avidlearner]

Faf is gone to a brilliant catch by Phangiso

 

[Executioner]

this phangiso guy looks like a good cricket

im happy with the fact that SA have started to give enough opprtunities to the native africans

There should be no racial boundaries in cricket

 

[avidlearner]

dont get why hssey was dropped

btw, is this home for highvel lions? poor crowd

Nope, Wanderers is the home for Highveld Lions.

It seems Hussey was dropped to accommodate a foriegn player who can bowl medium pace (Albie)

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[avidlearner]

Anything less than 170 would be a cake walk for Lions against our ineffective bowling attack.

 

[avidlearner]

Very shaky start from Raina against Phangiso

 

[Executioner]

Nope, Wanderers is the home for Highveld Lions.

It seems Hussey was dropped to accommodate a foriegn player who can bowl medium pace (Albie)

they do so much thing to raise the interest but they dont increase the number of home matches. IMO, both Lions and Titans should play all their matches at home, that will ensure that good crowds come in

no1 wanna watch neutral matches

 

[avidlearner]

Nightmarish running between the wickets from Raina and Vijay so far

 

[Justcrazy]

48 / 1 .............. 7 overs

 

[avidlearner]

Tuk Tuk cricket fever of Yorkshire has affected Raina and Vijay too I guess. So many dot balls in the last 3 overs.

 

[avidlearner]

At last 50 up in the 8th over

 

[avidlearner]

Some aggression shown by Raina, 6xer

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[avidlearner]

Raina gone, Phangiso again strikes

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina looking good

 

[avidlearner]

CSK in shambles

 

[avidlearner]

That looks doubtful catch

 

[avidlearner]

Thank god, Raina Not Out

 

[Executioner]

doesnt look like a clean catch

 

[avidlearner]

Phangiso nearly rips one across the stumps of Vijay.

This guys seems a real talent for SA

 

[avidlearner]

Life is very tough for CSK batters in the middle, scoring rate is dipping lower n lower with each passing over

 

[avidlearner]

Timely 4 from Raina

Back to back 4s from Raina

 

[avidlearner]

Pathetic shot to get out - Raina that is

 

[avidlearner]

Target of 150 looks doubtful now

 

[TNA]

the minnows are struggling

 

[avidlearner]

Vijay too gone now, Phangiso gets a wicket.

140 looks doubtful now

 

[avidlearner]

Jaddu the useless ahead of Badri and Albie

 

[cards fan]

we all know indian batsmen are not good against anyone who could bowl over 135K but now they are struggling against spinners as well.

 

[avidlearner]

I hope n pray MSD does not play his usual ball eating Tuk Tuk

 

[avidlearner]

Jaddu must have seen my post I guess, 6 from his bat

 

[avidlearner]

A Pressure releasing over but need more such overs from rest of the bowlers as well

 

[cards fan]

Jaddu the useless ahead of Badri and Albie

Is it not sensible to send lefty who could play spin well in when left arm spinner is bowling instead sending in someone like badri who is a righty and no better than Jadeja? They need Albie in the end.

 

[avidlearner]

^^Point is Jaddu always struggles to rotate strike


Back to back 4s from Jaddu (My post appears more n more stupid with each passing deliveries that jaddu plays)

good you are acknowledging that. anyway thought sending jaddu was a right decision.

 

[avidlearner]

Flat straight six from MSD

 

[velu]

first friom dhoni

 

[avidlearner]

6 overs remaining after this, we need to score at least 60 more runs to be competitive

 

[avidlearner]

Phangiso with Bowler of the game performance.

CSK batters just don't have answer for the questions raised by Slow Lefty

 

[avidlearner]

Only 5 overs remaining now and still we are lagging far behind the par score

 

[avidlearner]

4 from Albie

 

[avidlearner]

Albie gone, Nannes strikes

 

[avidlearner]

No badri plz (Send Ashwin or Saha ahead of him)

 

[avidlearner]

Sh** Badri it is

 

[avidlearner]

With MSD and Badri together in the crease

Lets start Tuk Tuk

 

[avidlearner]

Sorry double post

 

[avidlearner]

MSD trying to play a captain's inning here

6er, followed by 4

 

[Minku]

Albie Morkel Ahead of Hussey ... Dhoni has lost his mind for sure...

Hussey should always be the first name you put on the team sheet no matter what format or team he plays in ...

 

[avidlearner]

So far not many dot balls from Badri, that's better.

 

[avidlearner]

We are still at least 15 runs behind the par score

 

[avidlearner]

12 balls to go at least 20 runs needed off it

 

[Justcrazy]

130 / 5

 

[Justcrazy]

150 is minimum here

 

[avidlearner]

Wow. Badri with a 6

 

[avidlearner]

Much needed 4 from Kaptaan

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[avidlearner]

2nd 6 from Badri - Making me eat my words

6 balls to go at least 10 runs needed off it
