An must win match for the chargers all eyes from all of pakpassion will be as always on Afridi surely he will open again wont he?

About 10 mins or so to go very exciting match!

Deccan Chargers team
AC Gilchrist, RG Sharma, DB Ravi Teja, Shahid Afridi, Y Venugopal Rao, LPC Silva, RP Singh, H Das, PP Ojha, DNT Zoysa, DP Vijaykumar

So... Gibbs and Styris Dropped

Mumbai Indians team
SR Tendulkar, ST Jayasuriya, RV Uthappa, DJ Thornely, DJ Bravo, AM Nayar, P Shah, YV Takawale, RR Raje, A Nehra, CRD Fernando

Mumbai have got a dangerous batting line up...


Gilly has won the toss and Deccan Chargers will be bowling first
 
I would have persevered with Gibbs for 1 more match (especially taking into account the replacements)
 
Afridi having a chat with one of the cheerleaders as they wait to go on the field.

No doubt talking about his batting technique :)

Amazing!!
 
Right, I'm ready for this.

Got my cup of tea, my glass of milk, my shortbread biscuits, my lemon cake and my plate of samosas. Bring it on!
 
Bloody hell Fernando on commentary. Time to turn the volume off
 
Jaya off the mark with a flicked four. Second ball wide.

We have a very weak bowling attack today!!
 
HUGE from Jaya! Absolutely huge! Picked it up superbly and dispatched with arrogance! Get your hard hats on in the crowd!
 
In the air! Jaya gets a lucky four down to fine leg! Good thinking by Zoysa!

Short ball again and this time Jaya gets on top of it and pulls it for 4! Classic!
 
Top edge for 4, a bit lucky that time Jaya.

This time pulled by Jaya for 4.

2 of the Mumbai cheerleaders are men - those vests dont quite look right.
 
In the air! Pulled again! BIBLICAL STRIKE! Big! Big Big! Six over fine leg! Fireworks from the 'lankan!

What is jaya doing man.

He is really om rampage....
 
Another bad ball and Jaya pounces on it! Four more! Stand and deliver! Horrendous first over from Zoysa!
 
Jaya sweeps away imperiously for four! Torrential rain of runs!
 
Another sweep! Another four! Beats fine leg and it's gone!

GONE! Yes! Yes! Jaya going for another sweep- Caught out deep! Big wicket; huge!
 
That was poor cricket from an experienced cricketer. They had just moved that fielder and Jaya found him.
 
Jayasuria out 36 off 15 balls. Tenulkar batting on 2 off 2 balls
Mumbai Indians 39/1 (2.5/20 ov)

People over the age of 50 can watch the cricket safely again!

He played way too many shots in that direction...
 
Another sick knock, 36 off 15, absolutely laced with violence!
 
Classic Sachin! Classic four! Flicked off his legs! Beauty!

So good to see him back.

Well, let's not be too critical. Jaya was a on a roll and it was superb to watch.
 
Ooooh! Sachin! Off the legs again and what an awe-inspiring shot for four!
 
Sachin! Sachin! Short and wide and the Master gets his heavy bat to it and it races away for four. What a pleasure on the eye his batting his.

Ugly looking shot by Sachin- 4 runs nevertheless...

Exactly, end result= Four.

He kept it down, that was the best thing!
 
Sachin was almost bamboozled ny the last afridi delivery.... econ rate is still 3.
 
6.4 Shahid Afridi to Thornely, FOUR, Thornely moves back to a delivery on leg stump and nudges the ball off his pads past the wicketkeeper, Vijaykumar gives chase and crashes into the advertisement hoardings after he makes a desperate dive in vain

there was no dive there
 
Sachin again! Makes room and SMASHES it for four! Imperious stuff once again! Shot!
 
Gilly misses a stumping. Tendulkar gets a life

70 for 1
 
Tendulkar is still scratchy. as i said.. he crashed one straight down the ground.
 
Slightly slower and flighted from Afridi. Went high up in the air.

SRT outfoxed.

Was it a stumping? I thought Sachin edged it.

7.4 Ojha to Tendulkar, no run, missed stumping!, Tendulkar backs away to make room once again, he also comes out of his crease, Ojha shortens his length and beats Tendulkar's attempted loft over cover, Gilchirst fails to collect cleanly and allows Tendulkar to get back into his crease
 
Sachin is very very scratchy.. He is nowhere near what he was in Australia.
 
Lovely delivery from Afridi the next one. Big leg spinner
 
And another one for Afridi.

Googly.
 
Magnificent stuff from afridi, classical legspin pitches just outside off and beats the outside edge.

Theres more, next ball is a googly that catches him plumb infront :)))
 
Thornely clueless. On his back foot, would have hit middle.

Super bowling from Afridi.
 
The chat before the match commenced with the cheerleader has done wonders for Afridi.

Perhaps she was talking about his googlies to him :)

They probably were talking about different types of balls, yes.

I was just about to ask who are they talking about. Aamir sohail saying he's put on too much weight, clearly a sign he's involved in activities other than cricket. Good point aamir! :16:

That was interesting and I've started a thread on those points.

Good over from Afridi.

83 for 3 from 11 overs. Deccan fighting back.

Another stumping chance for Gilly - missed.
