Gambhir used to be one my favourite Indian batsman.

India had a good batting lineup in 2011
Sehwag
Gambhir
Kohli
Tendulkar
Dhoni
UV
Raina

A batting lineup with good form and experience. Their current side:

Wannabe Kohli(Rohit)
Kohli's Temporary shield(Dhawan)
Kohli
The guy who infuriates kohli and forces him to bat better(UV)
Kohli's running partner(Dhoni)
Batsman there to give strike back to kohli(Jadeja)i
Batsman whom kohli wont ever get to bat with(Enter player here)
Kohli's future "best-man"(Enter player here)
Random guy
Random guy.

You think we got a weak batting line up? Do you?

2011 was probably our best ever team. All the batsmen were terrific players and the batsmen kept coming in after each one got out. The bowlers ably complemented the batsmen as well.

 

[street cricketer]

Lol why do Mumbai keep promoting Pandya up. He's not a proper batsman at all.

 

[JaDed]

Butler looking strong but ball doing good bit.Gujarat is looking good.

 

[street cricketer]

English fans in the house for Buttler with a huge banner too [MENTION=139981]HitWicket[/MENTION]

 

[JaDed]

Lol why do Mumbai keep promoting Pandya up. He's not a proper batsman at all.

Pointing calling the shots he probably thinks Pandya is useless so let him go above.

 

[JaDed]

Raina is attacking like hell.

 

[HitWicket]

English fans in the house for Buttler with a huge banner too [MENTION=139981]HitWicket[/MENTION]

Noticed some chanting at Kolkata last game .

 

[street cricketer]

Funky hairdo Faulkner!

 

[JaDed]

Lol such thick edges finally England taking up to the format! Go Butler.

 

[JaDed]

Why is the MI crowd chanting DJ bravo he plays for Lions? lol )

 

[Justcrazy]

41 . 2

[JaDed]

Parthiv Patel 74 m

 

[Justcrazy]

[Deewana Mastana]

Easy lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Buttler gone lol

 

[JaDed]

Butler gone lol ,smart Jakati!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Buttler not living up to his name so far.

 

[JaDed]

CSK A and B are going to defeat MI here

 

[Justcrazy]

Big blow , butler gone

 

[JaDed]

Buttler not living up to his name so far.

Did well last game 44 from 22.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mumbai making a mess of this.

 

[Executioner]

You think we got a weak batting line up? Do you?

no, but nothing compared to that of yesteryears.

India is too dependant on Kohli these days. I hear more comments about India than the rest of the batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

51. 3

9 overs

Gujrat in control

 

[JaDed]

What's the point of benching Guptill also should had brought in Anderson for Mitch.

 

[JaDed]

Raina doing everything what Dhoni never does as a captain lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Guptill should've been in.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Benching him makes no sense.

 

[JaDed]

Next season most likely Sunrisers would release Fizz and MI would buy him and drop Southee.Just sad to be Southee has played with so many IPL franchise not getting settled anywhere.

 

[JaDed]

Bravo Mumbaikars cheering for Bravo lol?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard gone

 

[in_cutter]

That Bravo dance is getting boring now

 

[Executioner]

the IPL has been a complete borefest so far and the interest level has dropped down so much.

And this is coming from someone who appreciates a bit of T20 madness and has no extra hatred for Indian cricket than what is necessary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Next season most likely Sunrisers would release Fizz and MI would buy him and drop Southee.Just sad to be Southee has played with so many IPL franchise not getting settled anywhere.

Why do you think they'll release Mustafizur?

 

[Justcrazy]

Gujrat is in full control here.

 

[JaDed]

This happens usually when the matches are just after India hosts a world event,there were similar issues in 2011 IPL which CSK won,people were tired also two older and settled franchises aren't there.

It will get better in the second half of season with new players.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard's last 3 innings: 1, 1, 1. Consistent!"

Cricinfo

 

[JaDed]

Why do you think they'll release Mustafizur?

To get some money and bring in a proper middle order bat i guess.

 

[JaDed]

Raina has benched Jaddu lol

 

[JaDed]

MI is so bad lol Jadeja is not even there and they are still 4 down

 

[Cric_fan_4_eva]

Raina has benched Jaddu lol

Bhai he is getting married tonight

 

[Justcrazy]

68 . 4

8 overs to play with for MI

 

[JaDed]

Tambee and his dollies.

 

[JaDed]

finally patel goes.

 

[Cric_fan_4_eva]

Oh hahaha thanks bro he managed to get a mahurat in this agni varsha!

Haha

 

[carrom_ball]

no, but nothing compared to that of yesteryears.

India is too dependant on Kohli these days. I hear more comments about India than the rest of the batsman

India isn't dependent on kohli in Odis, people are making comments based on some t20s which India doesn't even play regularly, kohli isn't even our best odi batsmen in the last 2 years, check the records, Rohit is ahead of him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

To get some money and bring in a proper middle order bat i guess.

Don't know why they keep picking Henriques to be honest. Hasn't done anything of note in IPL.

Hyderabad need better batsmen but should keep hold of Mustafizur for next edition.

 

[street cricketer]

Dinesh Karthik seems to like the Arda Turan look..

 

[street cricketer]

Harby with a good 'ol fashioned hack

 

[Justcrazy]

Harbhajan should look to play out the overs and give bowlers something to bowl at.

 

[JaDed]

Bhajji goes MI is crap,CSK A,B and RCB-KKR only ones to give good matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor thinking by Bhajji , I think he is past his prime.

 

[street cricketer]

Gujarat has a good chance of winning the title along with IPL. These two have the best balance.

 

[Justcrazy]

88 / 6

16 overs

 

[JaDed]

Rayudu should stay away from national team no power at all.

 

[JaDed]

gujarat has a good chance of winning the title along with ipl. These two have the best balance.

rcb* ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Gujarat has a good chance of winning the title along with IPL. These two have the best balance.

IPL is the tournament !!!

 

[JaDed]

Why is that after BCCI power structure has changed we are having these bowling pitches of sort.

Pandya's brother looks more terrible than him.

 

[JaDed]

Rayudu lol

 

[Justcrazy]

seven down

can MI play 20 overs

 

[street cricketer]

IPL is the tournament !!!

Sorry lol. Meant KKR

 

[SandyB]

Man ! Rains has pretty much CSK B team + RR C team . But he's showing much more aggressive captaincy than Dhoni usually does . The same set of players looking more dynamic.

 

[street cricketer]

rcb* ?

Sorry, meant KKR. RCB are the Real Madrid of IPL but will find a way to lose as always

 

[street cricketer]

Looks like we are going to get our own Akmal family for the Indian team

 

[street cricketer]

Just what the doctor ordered for Mumbai Indians : Ravi Shastri

 

[Justcrazy]

southee !!

 

[King Kong]

It's so saddening to see Faulkner getting faded away. He has been very very poor for quite some time now for his country and now in the IPL. Was my favourite player. Very talented. I hope he comes back strong.

 

[JaDed]

What is Faulkner doing,Jaddu is not going to drop him FGS just bowl straight.

 

[JaDed]

K Pandya getting the luck of his brother today.

 

[Cric_fan_4_eva]

It's so saddening to see Faulkner getting faded away. He has been very very poor for quite some time now for his country and now in the IPL. Was my favourite player. Very talented. I hope he comes back strong.

Yes he is overusing the slower ball, not as a surprise delivery like bravo.

 

[Justcrazy]

129 / 7

six balls left

 

[King Kong]

Yes he is overusing the slower ball, not as a surprise delivery like bravo.

His batting hasn't been that good either.

 

[Justcrazy]

Southee playing a gem here

 

[Justcrazy]

Bravo strikes !

 

[King Kong]

Those 4 runs could make a difference between winning and losing.

 

[street cricketer]

Great to see Steyn in great spirits even when he isn't playing. Champion player.

 

[Justcrazy]

144 is the target

 

[Cric_fan_4_eva]

Great to see Steyn in great spirits even when he isn't playing. Champion player.

Is he injured or just left out?

 

[King Kong]

Great to see Steyn in great spirits even when he isn't playing. Champion player.

Not quite following the match. Which team is Steyn in? I thought he was retained by SRH.

 

[street cricketer]

Is he injured or just left out?

I think he's just left out.
