Indian Premier League | Day 19 | Delhi | Apr 28, 2016 | Match Thread

[King Kong]

I would give the IPL bradman title to Raina. Man he is a beast in the IPL. Scored 400+ runs in every season of the IPL. He might miss this time though.

 

[street cricketer]

gayle is IPL bradman

Gayle is flopping nowadays even in leagues like PSL and IPL

 

[devilsadvocate]

Wow raydu is a clever batsman

 

[carrom_ball]

Gayle is flopping nowadays even in leagues like PSL and IPL

That doesn't take away the bradman title from him, he's already done enough

 

[street cricketer]

Robin Uthappa is definitely a contender for one of the worst wicket keepers of India.

 

[devilsadvocate]

Wow unadkat ki to raydu ne ......

 

[street cricketer]

Yeah, he's a beast in the group stages

 

[devilsadvocate]

It's a good thing Patel got out. It has helped MI

 

[rhony]

gayle is IPL bradman

Gayle is a T20 Bradman

You mean worst gloveman

 

[DHONI_FAN]

[Thivagar]

What is up with these Indian players and their new love for beard lol.

 

[devilsadvocate]

What a catch by surya

They want to win over some pakistani hearts

 

[devilsadvocate]

No they make sure that their beards don't look like maulvis.

 

[street cricketer]

The same no?

 

[devilsadvocate]

The same no?

I thought wicket keeper included batting as well.

 

[devilsadvocate]

I don't think he is out

 

[street cricketer]

WK when used alone generally refers to the glove abilities. Uthappa is a fine batsman, no doubting that.

 

[devilsadvocate]

Third umpire gives the right decision after wasting 5 minutes.

 

[devilsadvocate]

I think the lefty pandya is a better batsman than his brother.

 

[devilsadvocate]

Gambhir still seems fit. Ice feilding.

 

[devilsadvocate]

Just as I said it narine bowls pandya

 

[devilsadvocate]

Narine always reacts with the dhoni face

 

[devilsadvocate]

Mumbai trying their best to make the match interesting by gifting their wickets.

 

[Thivagar]

They want to win over some pakistani hearts

Make sense

 

[Thivagar]

How can you tell

Because his action hasn't changed, its still the same. You can see it, he is chucking.

 

[Executioner]

Narine's action doesn't look too different really

 

[Executioner]

Because his action hasn't changed, its still the same. You can see it, he is chucking.

We are on the same boat. Lankans and BDeshis think alike, while Paks and Indians think alike.

I hope narine is banned then .

What a subtle way to insult the lankans

 

[Executioner]

For some reason Suryakumar Yadav is a very underrated player, he is far better than some of the so-called talents we have been hearing about in the IPL but he is always performing and playing those good knocks here and there when his team needs. Brilliant in the field too.

Having said that, i like his batting but not his face. His face reminds me of Vinay Kumar or maybe not but there is Vinay Kumarish in his face which is why i can't stand him. His name has "Kumar" too

 

[devilsadvocate]

Rohit going after the superman russel

thats a very racist comment

Rayudu becomes a super man when there is dew

I also don't like the face of that midget in your team .He reminds me of mushfiqur lol

 

[JaDed]

has been very substandard. He was instrumental in KKR winning those IPL titles. Should and will be dropped next match. Needs rest, he has been playing non stop T20s for like 4-5 years month straight. PSL, AC, WT20

Don't think he will be dropped.

 

[carrom_ball]

thats a very racist comment

No it is not, execy mah bro, just chill, I can't let you insult the lankan fans by comparing them to bangla fans, no hard feelings

 

[Executioner]

That is Mushfiqur.

Don't think he will be dropped.[/Q]

Has been good with the ball, economical in all of his spells. But I am not sure he has a place in the side as a batsman.

Yeah he needs to rest a bit get refreshed.

 

[jattafridi]

exciting match

 

[Executioner]

I am no expert on this which is why i wish to ask the posters here

Dew is supposed to present mainly during the winter night right? But why so much during the summer? In BD the dew doesn't affect nearly as much. Though in the winter the ball is practically a soap

But in the IPL, the dew has been so much significant. Anything to do with the overly exaggerated temperaturs?

Pollard targets the easiest bowlers.

Yes but that was beastly

 

[jattafridi]

23 runs from the over

 

[devilsadvocate]

Rohit wasting balls again

 

[devilsadvocate]

And then hits a four

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Did say MI does have the core quality in batting.

They are losing but when they get in the mood, they are a dangerous side.

 

[dauntless]

Indian wasim is getting phainti

 

[Executioner]

even by Indian standards Unadkat is just....

 

[carrom_ball]

And then hits a four

like I said, with eyes closed

How good is he by bangla standards?

Unadkat is a greater magician than Mustafiz. He makes the ball dissappear

I was seeing a sky sport video during the t20 world cup when Prior was explaining about the difficulty of bowling in the subcontinent with dew. Apparently it was a ODI or T20 match (can't remember) between England and Bangladesh in Bangladesh and Shakib and the English captain went up to toss. Shakib won it and came back literally laughing after selecting to bowl first. And when Swann was bowling in the 2nd innings, he got so frustrated by the wet ball and he was bowling all sorts if wrong deliveries like full tosses, half trackers, wides, etc. due to inability to grip the wet ball. Eventually Bangladesh won it and Swann got so pis*ed off that he was cursing the wet ball with each delivery he bowled

as good as Sir Mohammad Ashraful

It was the world cup 2011 and that was in february which is spring, not entirely summer.

 

[rhony]

Now they'll hand over the MOM to Rohit I guess. So many poor choices this season

I know. That anecdote just came to my mind when you were talking abt dew.

You were right. I admit it

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but IMO on clear summer days the water evaporates from warm ground and then at night(clear one) ground becomes cooler ,causing water vapour to condense(basically temp on the surface cools beyond dew point).

I think this was the reason there was less dew during India-Pak because it was raining.

 

[rhony]

Rohit's becoming a beast of a chaser like someone I know

 

[rhony]

Poor choice as expected. They just look at the highest score and hand over the MOM to him

 

[devilsadvocate]

Pollard should have been the MOM

 

[street cricketer]

Rohit's becoming a beast of a chaser like someone I know

He has been on the winning side thrice I think now. But he has played mostly as a sheet anchor in those matches (and a good one at that) while Pollard, Buttler, Mclenaghan have done the damage when was needed. I want to see him boss a run chase like Kohli does. There was one opportunity during the match vs Delhi which Mumbai lost, though he didn't get much strike in the last overs during that run chase.

 

[Messiah]

We are on the same boat. Lankans and BDeshis think alike, while Paks and Indians think alike.

I havent seen many lankans bring up conspiracy theories after every match they lose and after their chucking bowlers gets banned

 

[Hasan123]

Pollard with a good knock much needed win for Mumbai

yep. 4 50s in 4 chases so far. They won 3. Looks like he's matured but with Rohit you never know
