My support with Delhi for the first match. Hyderabad for the second.
 
Another boring match. Win the toss and win the match. Gosh, when is this torture Going to end. :yk
 
164/4?

Hmmm

Looks like they didn't go full throttle so could lose the game due to their approach.

If you are just 3 or 4 wickets down, you should be upwards of 200. Or else, there is a high chance you batted too slow.
 
Did anyone see the last ball given as no-ball absolute crap of a decision that too by third umpire unless there is some rule in cricket i'm not too sure about.

Was pretty sure it wasn't a no ball. Was some very dodgy wide calls not given through the innings as well.

Dodgy wides are common,but a third umpire giving that as a no-ball is just shocking for me.
 
Very good match,DD's bowling is very impressive as a unit,Morris has improved his pace.
 
What was Rohit Sharma arguing for *****, Pandya hit you go argue with him,its a match to win not to do some charity, good on Zaheer telling him to go back to the dug out.
 
Dravid has converted bunch of players in to a team.

Also entire time delhi crowd kept on cheering Sachin. Legends will be legends
 
Zaheer could've taken back the appeal imo.

It was fault of the opposition batsman. You deserve to get run out if you don't do the basics and watching your partner is just one of them. Infact, even if you bump into the bowler when running with the bowler ball-watching, the fielding team still is well within their rights to run the batsman out.

I think in the WT20 tamim bumped into Nehra, Nehra apologized but it wasn't his fault. Tamim got into the line easily but if he was stranded then opposition has the right to run him out.
 
No his player didn't hit him,it was Pandya why should Zaheer take it back?

I know it was Pandya who hit him. If Rohit had carried on running after the collision, there would be no arguments because such stuff happens often and there have been plenty of such dismissals in the past. But after Morris' failed run out attempt at the other end, Rohit was down injured holding his gut mid pitch and he was clearly wincing in pain. Generally play stops after a player gets injured on field. Though Morris was well within his rights to go for the second chance to to get Rohit out regardless of his state, I personally think it would have been in the spirit of cricket had he not did so when a player is down injured.

Sorry bro I'm not from that school of thought,winning within the rules is all that matters.

Don't agree with you here. This is not football where the play stops if someone's injured. It was a clear run out. It's not as if the opposition player has collided and injured Rohit.

not only rules bro, its also well within the spirit of the game.

Will also add, the batsmen made an error, and that is why they deserve to be penalized. It would be criminal if the batting side got away with a rookie mistake.

I get that train of thought too. It's one of those things which aren't clear cut like the Bell run out decision or mankad decisions. It depends on who the captain is and you can't fault anyone if the decision goes either way.

I've seen captains recall batsmen when there is a run out due to a collision. However, that's the case when his own player was involved in the collision. In this case, 2 players from the same team were involved. There is no question of morality here

Agree such mistakes are almost unforgivable ,wonder what was Rohit arguing with Zaheer about.

I'm all for Mankad decisions as well and winning within the rules is the only train of thought imo a player should have,Aus were my fav team growing up that probably should explain the reason.
 
Fizz should do well against the bottom of the barrel Punjab here. Their batting order is ripe for picking.

I don't think who collided with him comes into the question here. I get that the batting team were at fault here. But it would've been fine if the keeper had completed the runout when Rohit was colliding or getting down off the first attempt. But because Morris had already failed in a runout attempt and then after Rohit was down midpitch wincing in pain, he threw it to the keeper. Anyway I can't fault the bowling team too here but I can see why Rohit was a bit aggrieved about the runout even though it's perfectly legal as he had absolutely no chance of making back since he was down injured. But anyway it's just me and I can't disagree with you guys too.
 
Vohra gone should be punished for not putting bat properly in the ground.
 
Other than his cutter Mustafiz has a mean yorker, one of the best yorkers out there though not as consistant
 
That's just the beginning. His be st is yet to come. This is Punjab..the Zim of IPL. He'll lay into them in the next 3 overs

what is with your obsession with Fizz.

Just enjoy watching him bowl regardless of the opposition.

Oh I want to. I hope he goes for wickets instead of just saving runs against this poor batting line up atleast
 
Warner should bring back Mustafiz and go for the kill. I hope he doesn't hold all of his overs back for the death.

He can try to bowl more wicket taking deliveries but with risk of edges flying away or one of his deliveries getting struck from the middle should he bowl length. However, he is trying to win the match for his side.

But if he goes for a ER of around 5-6 bowling at the fag end of the PP and death he is winning more matches than a 32-3. His bowling is helping the other bowlers as well, as the batsman have to play reckless shots against them and losing wickets. This is ofcourse considering that he has full faith in Bhuv and Sran, especially the former
 
Ohh Bhuvi...What have you done!!! After a couple of terrific catches the risers are back to their old self
 
Where is mustafiz he should bowl now warner is a poor captain

He is like Tamim Iqbal in BPL where he only used Amir for first few overs and last overs only, no thinking what so-ever.

Even in the first match against RCB, mustafiz was not used in the middle when Kohli and ABCD was going crazy. Against KKR, mustafiz was made to bowl 2 when match was pretty much over. He is as bad as our test captain Mushfiqr Rahim, worst player to ever captain the side. He is clueless. even with his social media public posts
 
Warner is too unimaginative as a captain. He follows a strict formula. Bowl Bhuvneshwar, Sran and Mustafizur for two, two and one overs at the top respectively and keep the rest of their overs for the death. Won't budge from this strategy no matter what the state of the match is.

There is a reason why great players and teams are what they are. They don't leave it for the next person. The following scenario already played out in one of the games. Fizz bowled an economical over in the 18th over and Bhuvi went for 20 in the next. The momentum that RCB had after that over meant Fizz was taken apart in the 20th too. Picking wickets is still the easiest way to contain teams.
 
Fizz strikes! Gets the well set Marsh. Nine balls without conceding a run.

True, but Fizz is bowling to the requirement of his captain. He bowled more fullish length than bowling the cutter which has the danger of being struck for a six on this flat wickets.

And talking about wicket, you can only wicket if your able to put bat on ball. You can see that batsman are not being even able to put bat on ball.
