I want Mavi and Gill to do good but SRH to win at the end. Don’t like KKR right from season 1.

Go SRH.
 
This will be a good contest. Srh have the best bowling in IPL. Rashid khan and bhuvi are beasts in this format
 
Stanlake's bowling is amazing to watch and adds extra variety in srh bowling attack.
 
Rana has faced such pace for the first time. Combine that with the accuracy and bounce with which Stanlake has bowled, it's a credit to Rana he survived the over.

Lol at survived. He is a top order batsman of one of the top teams in the league. He played like a tail ended.
 
He plays spin well. But poor against pace. I would still call him a poor or ave batsman. Not good for international cricket.
 
What's Gill gonna do at number 6? He's an opening batsman that builds an innings. He's not a slogger

No he was never this bad.

He was worse in his own words. And Rana had the pressure to score, not just see the bowler off. It happens in the sport so you need to ease down.

Cool down. that’s my opinion. You might have a different one, I don’t have any issue with it.

He didnot have any intent of scoring. Just tried to survive those 4 balls. This is billy, not Shoaib Akthar. Billy is a newbie to international cricket.

As was Shoaib in 1999. Still make Sachin look like a tailender. It happens.

Looking forward to see how gill gonna play against this quality world class attack
 
This SRH side is one heck of a powerful bowling unit. I can see them in the finals already. Made this lad Russell look like a clown.

Inconsistent Sharma, poor performance of Fizz, Hardik and Pollard are what causing the damage to MI this season. There's still a long season to go though. I'm sure they will be back to their winning ways if they fix these issues.

I thought shakib was playing for kkr. Man, these IPL teams keep changing their players.

Good performance from our boy.
 
Shubman gill didnt look good in t20 format but its only his first game lets see how he does in next matches
 
Gill gone. Easily foxed by bhuvi.
Kkr can't play him at 7 or 8 number.
he must open.

He's not a no. 6. Not sure if he's good for T20s but he needs to play at the top of the order. Should have been at 4 instead of Narine

You right but i dont think franchises risk much with youngsters. Looking forward to see mavi now.
 
Is there a better player than Bhuvi in world cricket when it comes to bowling Knuckle balls? Damn! He gets most of his wickets using it. Heard that he invented this knuckle ball. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No way. Atleast I have seen Charl Langeveldt bowling that in 2005.

MI had no business losing to CSK, against SRH cutting messed up the last over we should have won that. Today it was our dreadful death over bowling, toss has had no effect on any of those matches. There is a thing called spurious correlation.

LoL at all these theories ..the fact is team winning toss and batting second is winning..that’s the reality ...and it’s repeating again today ...

Totally predictable so far ...win the toss..win the match
 
lol what was KKR trying there. DK like playing text book defense in death overs. was a disappointing last 10 overs. and commentary is no life at all.
 
Yeah but why? You have to back your assumption with logic. Is pitch getting faster and easier when chasing? Is there considerable amount of dew? Are the teams unable to decide what's a good target to set?
 
Karthik is a bad captain. Atleast so far the batting order is a mess and his bowling choices have been bad too

Yes. Zaheer started that in India and was good at it. Right now most Indian bowlers bowl it and Bhuvi is the best at it

How is toss affecting the match genius? Only time you can say toss was the reason for the result is because of the pitch changing drastically or dew factor coming into play. Most games have been close, won by sides that made the least mistakes.

They are not theories they are facts only people who lol at facts and rather buy into correlation that is just accidental are trolls, if you rather than blabbing rubbish watched the games you would understand that.

MI's 3 games were last over finishes, so was kkr's last one. Do tosses decide who wins a last over matches?

Also if you don't like it, don't bother with it, get a life maybe. It's simple.

A terrific couple of days with MI, KKR and Punjab losing. Unfortunately it won't continue as CSK will win tomorrow.

Knuckle ball is copied from Baseball.

They both got good Yorkers and got out. Poor comparison IMHO. Those two great batsmen never looked out of place playing pace bowling any time ever in their career. They were beaten by swing which happens to every batsman but not by pace and bounce.

local fast bowlers @ SRH squad Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi , khaleel Ahmed will remain on bench...bit unlucky
 
KKR shouldn't have released Shakib, their 4th foreigner is MJ.
 
Kkr has such a poor team and very average captain. Teams I have been supporting have lost prettymuch every game.::(
 
rhony said:
Stupid move by KKR. Also not sure why SRH released Fizz
Click to expand...

SRH I can understand, their 4th foreigner would have been Warner - it's between Stanlake & Mustafiz, they went for the taller & fast pacer; but KKR allowed Shakib to leave for $300K!!!!
 
Poor from shakib. But not surprising at all. Like most of the Bangladeshi players he has a shortage of gray matter in his head.
 
KKR would have won the game had DK continued to bowl spin instead of turning to Russell who released pressure.
