[street cricketer]

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

Gujarat lions.

 

[JaDed]

Its hard to hit the full toss of Bumrah because it comes in,unlike Pandya although he caught it well.

 

[street cricketer]

Lol this 3rd umpire has the stereotypical Indian accent

 

[Lords]

K Pandya getting the luck of his brother today.

Who is his brother?

 

[Cric_fan_4_eva]

Who is his brother?

Hardik pandya and his brother krunal pandya playing for Mumbai tonight.

 

[Lords]

Gujrat Lions have the best name. Any other name wouldnt suit them.

Ratasthan could have named itself Chetak

 

[Lords]

Hardik pandya and his brother krunal pandya playing for Mumbai tonight.

Oh wow. Didnt know that. Reminds me of Pathan brothers

 

[JaDed]

Lol this 3rd umpire has the stereotypical Indian accent

Yeah and worst thing is he thinks he is on STD call of yesteryears.

 

[Sandeep]

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.

Bhai tu rehne de.. Indian ODI team is much different to Indian T20 line up.

 

[street cricketer]

Yeah and worst thing is he thinks he is on STD call of yesteryears.

I loved how he wanted to check for the no ball even after the replay showed it was a bump ball. Too hard on the bowlers

 

[JaDed]

Raina taking it away bring in bhajji.

 

[JaDed]

Bhajji get knocked lol.

 

[JaDed]

I loved how he wanted to check for the no ball even after the replay showed it was a bump ball. Too hard on the bowlers

I noticed that too i guess he is following a template.

 

[JaDed]

Raina gone lets see how it goes now.

 

[Sandeep]

Watching Raina is a pain these days..

 

[JaDed]

terrible decision.

 

[Executioner]

if finch gets out now we might NOT see a borefest

 

[JaDed]

Pandya's brother fields well too but has his luck.

 

[JaDed]

Oh man Bhajji

 

[JaDed]

Mitch is such an important man for MI i wanted him out last time lol

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

IPL 9 yet produce a match like Zalmi vs Gladiators.

 

[JaDed]

Battle of nerves.

 

[JaDed]

Finch finishing it,3rd in a row

 

[Cric_fan_4_eva]

Bumrah vs Faulkner episode 5

 

[JaDed]

Gujarat has a deep batting line almost impossible to beat considering everyone's form.

 

[JaDed]

Dew comes into play ..lets see Bumrah can do something here.

 

[JaDed]

ball terrible.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Gujarat has a deep batting line almost impossible to beat considering everyone's form.

But a very shaky lineup.

Get Finch out....Bmac is likely to smash a few and get out...Raina out of form.....Bravo lost his batting touch....Jaddu ain't no big deal....and we are left with Faulkner who will click great or just fizzle out.

Hit or miss lineup.

But a deep lineup.

 

[Thivagar]

There is still a fair bit of extension going on at the elbow imo. Perhaps he's within the legal limits but if he is then he is just inside it - it would not be a surprise to see him reported again.

Just saw the highlights. I think he is chucking lol.

 

[JaDed]

But a very shaky lineup.

Get Finch out....Bmac is likely to smash a few and get out...Raina out of form.....Bravo lost his batting touch....Jaddu ain't no big deal....and we are left with Faulkner who will click great or just fizzle out.

Hit or miss lineup.

But a deep lineup.

True but CSK was something similar last year except Dhoni<->Faulkner.

 

[Thivagar]

Now this is a real Leg Spinning talent

 

[JaDed]

Mitch making sure he doesn't go out when Guptill comes- most likely Southee will go.

 

[JaDed]

How hard is it give Finch the strike absolute tool batting by someone who i think was batting for UP!

 

[JaDed]

Bumrah comes in pressure situation ..

 

[JaDed]

Lmao by Kulkarni )

 

[street cricketer]

I feel really sorry for Finch.

He always manages to do his hamstring.

 

[street cricketer]

Bowl short outside off.

 

[JaDed]

Gujarat win well done Finch!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

lol Mumbai )

 

[Gabbar Singh]

An exciting match that was. The Lions look like favourites to me to win the whole thing - they have a well balanced side.

 

[JaDed]

The match became close one coz Mitch and second because Mumbai tailenders took it this far- MI looks crappy they need to get in Guptill and make Southee sit out.

 

[jattafridi]

finch only hero from gujrat

take that mumbai

 

[Lords]

An exciting match that was. The Lions look like favourites to me to win the whole thing - they have a well balanced side.

If Lions win IPL then it will pose huge dilemma for BCCI. This team two years down the lane would be a non existing team who would have won IPL.

I think Gujjus deserve a team and they should retain it.
