IPL | Bangalore Vs Delhi | Bangalore | 19/05/08

cmon Praveen show us some of your 'BASHING' strokes u practiced on the doctor the other day ;-)
 
cricinfo: "he's a king at this format and it's finally showing"

KING has arrived on the Scene !!! finally
 
McGrath is a champion.
No fake attitude, no menacing aura, but boy oh boy, he's the boss.
 
Zaheer Khan doin a great job .. but this had to be THE Misbah show

slow, at first and then fire in the belly with a misssssssive ending
 
Misbah is such a great hitter but I dont know why he always has to wait till the last over.
 
Brilliant stuff from Misbah, showing what he can do if given a proper chance
 
Who ever critisized Misbahs Speed.... read it and WEAP :D:D:D

25-ball 47 from Misbah

thats why HE is the pro, and we are the fans :))
 
Misbah should be in Delhi team next time, imagine coming in at 3 after Gauti and Viru

He was hardly given a chance in the rest of the tournament...so the one time he was, he had to make sure he bided his time before hitting out. It is understandable. Anyways he proved why he is considered the no.1 T20 batsman in the world today.

because his side couldn't afford him to get out before and plus the International bowlers were bowling very well.
 
good Knock by Misbah,

Would liked to have seen that last boundary again, looked pretty close to being a Six. dont know why there was no Replay!

Played Misbah

hardly given chance ? he has played every match except for one .....there is no way he cud have taken ross taylors place , cos he was in too good a player to be droped ..........he has been given enuf chances , but finally plays a useful knock now ........ !

& why does he wait till teh last over to hit out ? puts too much pressure on rest of teh batting lineup cos of his slow starts !

I think he sat out for 2 matches, but the rest I agree with you.
 
slow starts blame DRAVID not misbah!

SLOW starts? wich match did u watch? he was 10 off 10 balls.. thats was slowest he got!
 
I know theres no comparison between afridi and misbah (i mean afridi is from another planet so u cant realy compare) but if anyone comes close to the beast i think its MISBAH ....!!

Misbah played brilliantly today because he actually got some TIME at the crease. As for the slow starts, as SameerM says, blame the pathetic Test captain Dravid for that.

This coming from a Dravid fan! And Misbah doesn't start, but finish so pressure on others in nonsense.

You're lucky you even have Misbah. You're welcome. Had it been upto your hero he'd have another snail batsman and you'd have scored 100 runs.
 
dblock said:
I think he should bat 4/5. 3 is a bit risky.
Gambhir and Sehwag usually manage to give good starts, so it would be the perfect platform for Misbah

but wishful thinking, I think Misbah belongs to RCB for 3 yrs

Lol! Dravid should be NOWHERE near a T20 team. As you say, they're lucky to have Misbah

He has only played five matches out of the possible 11 or 12 matches even Kallis got 9 chances.

its not zaheer, it is our king of beasts. doest matter who bowls :))

In T20 cricket, Misbah is the ULTIMATE KING! Average 50 at great strike rate!
 
Steyn bowled well but these Indian bowlers are leaking boundaries...Misbah's team is struggling because of them

Bangalore's wicket keeper looks very cute!! who is that boy?
We are talking about cricket not queerkit. :P
 
The frontline Pakistani bowlers like Gul, Shoaib, Afridi and Tanvir have been much better than the main Indian bowlers like Zaheer, Praveen, Ishant etc. in the IPL

Sreesanth? IK Pathan? Zaheer Khan? RP Singh?

IIRC arent they among the leading wicket takers?

Pathan, Sreesanth, Munaf are doing very well.

Leading wicket takers is misleading - the Indians have played every game while Afridi, Gul and Tanvir have all been dropped (undeservedly) from their sides.

:)) ..one thing i really appreciate about pakistan's player is Sohaib malik's outfielding. Doing a fabulous job.

My point exaclty. It was a rather slow start, but not extremely slow. He didnt face many balls also

You can appreciate Shoaib Maliks fielding, but not Afridis bowling?
 
Sehwag has raced to 43 off 17
last 3.4 overs
1 1 4 4 . 4 | 4 1lb 1 4 1 4 | 1 4 1 1 . 4 | 1 4 4 6
Dehli 86-0 after 6.4 overs

Obviously.. he gave 19 runs in one over taken off. Last night 14 runs in one over. He is too unpredictable. Not a reliable bowler against Indian batsmen. Look at the overall best bowling performances and his performance he would be somewhere at the bottom.

No. I think you should be the one to look at bowling performances.

Check out Mercs thread on IPL bowling performances.

He could not win any matches with his bowling. He is just a support bowler.

and Malik wins matches with his fielding all the time....


He seriously took very good catches in the deep. I don't say he wins matches because his batting has been horrible. He is only a shadow of himself both in bowling and batting department.

damn ghmabhir y man y

couldnt u have scored 25 more runs :P and win the Man of the match :(


This is the problem when you have a 50 meter boundary and an Australian fielding and throwing :P

Looks clueless once they left. These guys have to play some shots to get into some stride.
 
dont know what these 2 were doing, playing like rabbits. good dilshan is out, now dhawan can finish it off with a few big swipes
