IPL is still going on?

It will go on for another 3 weeks

 

[street cricketer]

Today will be a test for Mustafizur.

Wankhede is literally the bowler's graveyard especially for those bowling in the night. Lack of dew factor will probably be an advantage.

Will be interesting to see how he goes today as it is usually very tough to bowl at the Wankhede, provided it is the traditional Mumbai pitch.

Match is in Visakhapatnam bro.

Fizz vs. Pollard and Buttler will be interesting. Hope SRH manage to post a decent target. They have been very poor when batting first so far. Warner has to fire.

 

[Hasan123]

Going for Mumbai and kkkr to win the games today

Pollard he's probably best trying to roughen him up wifuba few short ones before going for the magic yorker. Hes barely been able to keep his eye on the short ball since he got hit a few years back now.

Oh geez.. Totally forgot about matches shifted out of Maharashtra.

Yeah it will be interesting. Pollard is a hack. I expect more from Buttler.

It's been running since 29 days Damn, it has disturbed my brain's equilibrium
fixed bro, thanks.

 

[#GreenRoars]

It will go on for another 3 weeks

3 weeks or 3 days????

 

[Aman]

I doubt Kane and Southee will have contracts next year, they haven't had notable performances.

I wouldn't want either playing for NZ in T20's.

 

[Dios]

Yuvraj has become a complete joke. He is unfit, poor at rotating the strike and his power is nowhere near what it used to be.

Dhawan is a very average T20 player too. Career SR < 120 as an opener. Makes you realise what a one man team India is given Rohit is pretty inconsistent at the international level.

 

[Dios]

SRH is basically Warner, Mustafizur and to an extent Bhuvneshwar. They should retain these three and replace the rest of the passengers. I don't understand how Yuvraj keeps getting a new team every season and that too for a lot of money. He becomes a liability wherever he goes. Sehwag is a lot better than Yuvraj and it should've been UV who retired instead of Viru. When Warner was there it looked like SRH could've got somewhere around 200 and now they'll do well to get 160 from here.

 

[Executioner]

Those lime coloured shoes are an absolute eyesore

Southee was impressive in one match where he swung the ball nice.

 

[street cricketer]

What a blistering innings from Dhawan!

 

[street cricketer]

Dhawan please have some shame.

Even an old and unfit Yuvi is outperforming you

 

[Executioner]

There is something about UV that is so elegant. No feet movement but a lot of movement of the hips back and of course the arms and that follow through

 

[Dios]

McClenaghan and Bumrah (Fizz's competition) getting smashed.

It is the high backlift, the follow through and the typical elegance of left handed batsmen.

 

[Prince_]

This pitch is perfect for my favorite ftb Rohit. He single handedly will win the match for Mumbai tonight. Even 200 won't be enough for sunriser

 

[Dios]

Yuvraj pwning me. Still think his time in international cricket is up.

Bumrah is up there with some of the worst fielders I have ever seen. Hope McClenaghan doesn't get any wickets.

 

[street cricketer]

If the batsman gets out hit wicket, does that go to the bowler?

That doesn't look right.

 

[Dios]

If the batsman gets out hit wicket, does that go to the bowler?

That doesn't look right.

It should if the bowler's pace forces the batsman to become off-balance and hit the stumps. But in this case it was poor from Yuvraj. Lucky wicket for McClenaghan.

Most often batsmen get hit wicket due to an exaggerated follow through of the bat when they are standing back at the crease. The last time I remember a batsman getting hit out was when Steve Waugh hit a scorching boundary but then proceeded to clatter his bat into the stumps.

Bowling forcing the batsmen to get hit wicket happens too. I guess the bowlers should get some leeway.

 

[street cricketer]

Mustafiz and BK seem to be the best buddies

 

[anuk]

This guy parthiv patel is still playing cricket

 

[street cricketer]

Lejund

 

[street cricketer]

Good to see BK get his swing back.

 

[badlapur]

Best bowler in SRH and dare I say in IPL this year (sorry Mishra, Morris and Russell) strike in his first over.

 

[Prince_]

Nooooo, my favorite ftb is gone. How dare u nehara paji

 

[Sandeep]

Where are all the SRH haters?

 

[battler]

3 weeks or 3 days????

3 weeks. It ends on 29th May.

 

[street cricketer]

Where are all the SRH haters?

Are there haters for SRH?

 

[Sandeep]

Nehra ji ripping Mumbai apart. Treat to watch. Big miss in my fantasy team

 

[street cricketer]

Mumbai getting demolished by the legend

 

[Sandeep]

Are there haters for SRH?

Not really However, fans are mainly from Bangladesh. You should see their comments on FB fan page. You'd die laughing..

 

[street cricketer]

Mumbai's hacks getting exposed.

 

[Sandeep]

Mumbai.. the hacky team.. get Rohit and watch them fall apart. Shameful team.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Mumbai LULLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS )

 

[street cricketer]

Not really However, fans are mainly from Bangladesh. You should see their comments on FB fan page. You'd die laughing..

Give me a sample

 

[Sandeep]

Harbhajan Singh is easily their best batsman. Why not send him up the order? )

 

[street cricketer]

Mumbai have an army of hacks.

 

[Sandeep]

Give me a sample

Best of Luck...#SRH.... Especially, Fizz......(One of the Best bowler of the world).. Hope he can get 4+ wickets in this match....!! #GoFizz

Practically all comments are like this )

 

[street cricketer]

Hyderabad have by far the best bowling in this IPL.

Very good swing bowlers up front, good seam bowlers and an excellent death bowler. If only they had a quality spin bowler.

 

[street cricketer]

Practically all comments are like this )

Hyderabad have 200 million more fans.

It can only be advantageous

 

[Sandeep]

Hyderabad have 200 million more fans.

It can only be advantageous

Of course, that's the plan

 

[street cricketer]

Practically all comments are like this )

The hash tags though

 

[badlapur]

now that damage has been done by the Indian trio, Warner should bring Mustafizur into the attack so he can take some cheap wickets

 

[Dios]

Where the hell is Fizz?

 

[Dios]

Henriques

What is Warner doing?

 

[Sandeep]

Mustafizur should be brought in.. let's clean up these hacks for 50 and embarrass them..

 

[badlapur]

Moises Henriques before Mustafizur

 

[Sandeep]

Warner should bring Fizz against Pollard. The latter needs a lesson in humility. A fast yorker could well teach him that..

 

[street cricketer]

Of course, that's the plan

If only you guys had bought Amla too

 

[Sandeep]

If only you guys had bought Amla too

LOL.. Bilal would've joined the bandwagon.. missed a trick there

 

[Sandeep]

Even without bowling Fizz, SRH humiliating MI here )

 

[street cricketer]

LOL.. Bilal would've joined the bandwagon.. missed a trick there

Bilal + another 200 million

 

[Sandeep]

Bilal + another 200 million

Pretty sure not many South Africans in those 200 million..

 

[Sandeep]

What a sad match...

 

[Dios]

Fizz gets Pandya first ball. Second time this season.

 

[street cricketer]

Eventhough Mumbai are our rivals, I feel really sorry for them

 

[Sandeep]

Come on Fizz. let's get them all out and win by 100 runs!

 

[HitWicket]

No edge there.

 

[Sandeep]

Eventhough Mumbai are our rivals, I feel really sorry for them:srer

Same feeling here.. Pity for them..

 

[street cricketer]

Indian umpires

 

[Hasan123]

Mumbai have an army of hacks.

Bit of swing or spin nd they will fall like ninepins

 

[Hasan123]

Sunrisers should try get the game won as quick as possibleto increase net run rate

 

[Sandeep]

SRH winning by 100 runs will practically seal their berth in playoffs..

 

[Dios]

Too bad Fizz was brought on too late. Wanted him to have a shot at getting Pollard or Buttler's wicket. No one else's wicket is worth getting in this line-up. Fizz has already got Sharma out four times.

 

[Sandeep]

Go Fizz.. one more!

 

[Dios]

Another one for Fizz. Think it might be all over in this over.

 

[Dios]

SRH should make this their home venue. Perfect pitch for Fizz.

 

[Sandeep]

SRH should make this their home venue. Perfect pitch for Fizz.

Not really. This guy is good. Will do well everywhere as long as he maintains composure..

 

[King Kong]

SRH should make this their home venue. Perfect pitch for Fizz.

Actually it was SRH's home venue. Every season Hyderabad used to play 2-3 matches in Vizag. Don't know why no Hyderabad's matches were scheduled here this year. I am sure people there support Hyderabad over any team.

Thanks but no thanks. Let Hyderabad have its share of 7 matches.

 

[street cricketer]

Is there any new interstate rivalry between Telengana and AP?

I see more blue than orange

 

[King Kong]

Thanks but no thanks. Let Hyderabad have its share of 7 matches.

Hyderabad lacks fan following like CSK/RCB/MI/KKR. They need to schedule some matches in places like Vizag, Nagpur to create a strong fan base which is very important for an event like IPL.

This is technically Mumbai's home game.
Mumbai's home matches have been shifted out of Maharashtra due to water crisis.
