Indian Premier League | Day 5 | Kolkata | Apr 13, 2016 | Match thread

[#GreenRoars]

Don't understand Mumbai sending up Pandya at 3 again.

Buttler, Pollard and Rayuddu as 3, 4 and 5 was better having Pandya at 6.

Heard from some indian fellow that he is super star in IPL so may be that's why

[JaDed]

Surya lol atrocious never coming into the national team with that judgement..

 

[JaDed]

Even Parthiv Patel looks better than Pandya to me.

 

[JaDed]

Kuldeep Yadav had all the time to bowl that properly, absolutely horrendous.

 

[JaDed]

oh man Surya

 

[JaDed]

Kuldeep Yadav,Surya Yadav,Umesh Yadav how many Yadav's do KKR have?

 

[JaDed]

Kuldeep gets one finally Mitchell

 

[JaDed]

Does Sharma think of himself as Kohli what is he waiting for?

 

[IslamabadUnited]

out

 

[street cricketer]

Wowzers Buttler!

 

[JaDed]

Butler taking the game away from KKR.

 

[JaDed]

If Guptill comes in lol@ MI team.

 

[JaDed]

Lol full toss missed.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Buttler playing a gem of a knock in Eden tonight.

 

[JaDed]

What's the point of Yusuf Pathan in the team??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yousaf Pathan is past it.

 

[JaDed]

KKR fielding is in shambles! Surya-Yusuf joke of fielders they should be ashamed seeing Hogg 45 yr old field 10 times better than them.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mumbai got this

 

[JaDed]

dropped damn!

 

[JaDed]

Damn you Russel!! Sharma taking this home??

 

[JaDed]

I think we should increase the foreign quota to 6 only then these lazy Indian players will get a kick to play ,atrocious really seeing bellies of some of them.

 

[JaDed]

Butler goes and finally Surya gets one.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bhaji is happy

 

[Ab Fan]

Butler chokes just like his idol AB..

 

[JaDed]

MI gets this done.

 

[street cricketer]

Yousaf Pathan is past it.

He never had it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I thought KKR should've got 200. They let themselves down a bit towards the end.

 

[ab041937]

Jos Butler is really damn good. Those 2 overs of his power hitting really changed it for Mumbai.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He never had it.

5 years ago he was tonking it around in these IPL.

 

[aslaisnomasla]

He never had it.

pandaya has it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's it a win for Mumbai.

KKR was 20 short I felt at the half way mark. Proved right too.

 

[carrom_ball]

Kallis looking angry is he in the team as a player or coach?

 

[JaDed]

Look at the MI support staff-what the hell really:

Head coach – Ricky Ponting
Batting coach – Robin Singh
Bowling coach - Shane Bond
Fielding coach – Jonty Rhodes
Assistant coach - Paras Mhambrey
Mentor - Sachin Tendulkar
Youth development and head talent scout – John Wright

That must be some kind of joke!

 

[JaDed]

head coach.

 

[carrom_ball]

head coach.

Oh cool, I thought he was angry at not being picked

 

[street cricketer]

He never had it.

Batting wise, at his best, he was a good hack. Was a poor fielder and a partime bowler. Overall not a very good combination.

His younger brother was a much better prospect whose career fell away unfortunately.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Rohit is a beast in Eden.

 

[street cricketer]

pandaya has it

Not sure how he comes into the discussion.

 

[carrom_ball]

Rohit is a beast in Eden.

Too bad he became a chicken when it mattered against Pakistan

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

All the teams have more or less lulloo pacers.

Why is this guy Hasting playing?

Looks ordinary always.

And Russell's bowling is simply too much flukey.

 

[JaDed]

Too bad he became a chicken when it mattered against Pakistan

Exactly,did well against Windies in practice game in Eden and again went into hiding in Mumbai against the same team

 

[Lurker_Ind]

That is the frustrating part with Rohit. You never know what to expect from him. Has always been like that.

IIRC, the team is owned by the richest man in India. They can afford a few more I guess

 

[JaDed]

I expect him fail in most important matches,tbh i always know what to expect of him but the T20WC he performed below my already lower expectation of him.

You are right- Shane Warne for Spin and Gary Sobers for allrounders should also come in,may be sprinkle Bevan for big finishers.

 

[rhony]

LOL.. They should get a coach for every position in the 11. Add a specialized coach for slogging too

 

[rhony]

That is the frustrating part with Rohit. You never know what to expect from him. Has always been like that.

This innings was right out of the Kohli template. Maybe Rohit's turned a corner!!!

 

[SandyB]

Well the guy has turned too many corners last 2-3 years. He might have turned a full circle and reached right where he began ))
