Indian Premier League | Day 1 | Mumbai | Apr 9, 2016 | Match thread

Good Sporting track. Like the way IPL curators are preparing the pitch.
 
Couldnt find the live streaming link of the match! Anyone...? plz give any link.
 
Poor over from Ashwin Murugan, might have been nervous. Was lucky to get a wicket. Lets see how he does the next over. Doesn't flight the ball either.
 
Bhatia's slower deliveries must be incredibly annoying for a batsman to face.

Whats your take?

Weird action.

I am disappointed.

But quality of bowling wise...any hope or will he fade away?

Doesn't flight the ball, meaning he won't get much dip, might get little bit of drift. Don't see him beating the batsmen with flight. Action doesn't matter too much as long as it is rhythmic and his action does seem rhythmic. I'd like to see his arm deliver the ball from a bit higher position. His other variation delivery that I saw seem very easy to pick. In terms of international quality, he is 2 years away from being 2 years away. Yuzvendra Chahal is a better leg spinning prospect than Murugan. His accuracy is something that can't be taught. We have to see him bowl before deciding if he is in accurate in general or he is just nervous now.

Ok thanks.

Has a great googly but doesn't seem amazing to be honest.

Will see how accurate he is.

A bit slow and short. Batsmen seem to have a lot of time to go back and play.
 
Mumbai always starts slow in every IPL but this is something

He has good turn, he rather be full than short. SPin bowling quality has declined big time through out the world. The leggies you are seeing right now were the ones that had been bowling even when no leggies were rare and none were playing all 3 format at once. Everyone pretty much now knows that Doosra and "mystery bowlers" are just chuckers or will be found out sooner or later. They all know Leg Spin is the art that has the most demand. Everyone knows that Leggies are pretty much rare and don't excel or get give up leg spin bowling due to discouragements. Ashwin Murugan, Chahal, Jubair Hossain are pretty raw and should be playing club cricket really. Due to demand and the rarity of the art, they are here. Not a fan of Shreyas Gopal. He might go for less run but won't grow.

Shane Bond is the bowling coach of MI??? My god these guys just buy everyone!
 
Shane Bond laughing at the poll where 70% wanted him to come back,the dude wasn't fit in his peak years lol now.
 
Yeah Bumrah no-ball! Shane Bond should just smack these bowlers who bowl like that.
 
What a :six Bumrah hates bowling the third over early on Sharma being the aggressive captain?
 
Vinay Kumar and Kulkarni must be the worst trundlers produced who bowled at international level by us in the recent times.
 
The terminator style graphics are not pleasant to the eye might take a match or two to get completely used to.
 
Rahane couldn't buy a boundary on a much flatter pitch against West Indies last week :facepalm:

IPL has no logic.

Some players just start performing in IPL and some forget batting.

Now watch choke kings Gayle, Kohli and ABD screw up yet another IPL. :))
 
Pune has a much better team for non-flat pitches absolute crap considering that Mumbai pitch suddenly started swinging.

Gayle and ABD, who flopped in World T20, will plunder attacks. Kohli, who was easily the best batsman at WT20, will struggle to score!

Equally useless dude.

He is an INSANE bowler.

Around the 2012-2014 period was his peak. Used to get carted around so much that it infuriated you EVEN as an opponent.

Vinay = Dernbach = :bow:
Click to expand...

Dernbach was carted around yes. However, I don't think I'm embarrassed when watching him. Vinay has the attitude of someone bowling at 145, his pace according to him is 135, his actual pace in the game is 125. His line is all over the place and length is just ridiculous.

Mumbai pitch always has good bounce. So if it seams/turns, it will be a tough challenge for batsmen..
 
Pune bowling is wokay wokay only.

RP Singh - Meh
Mitch Marshall - Flukey bowler who keeps it tight
Ashwin - wokay only
Murugan Ashwin - Leggie unknown
Bhatia - Pure class (legend in IPL)

No genuine pacer really.

How is it that no matter which team Dhoni captains, they end up with trundlers?

No matter which team he captains, he gets people to say "oh look poor guy...he has no bowlers".

Its a magical ability I must say.

Kohli will flop.

Cometh the knockouts, all 3 will flop. :))
