[Saj]

The action starts in just under 1 hour.

Its always entertaining watching Sehwag bat and of course Malik is also in the Delhi squad.

Who knows, we may finally see Misbah given a chance by Bangalore and will Dravid finally score a run

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Asif should be playing too.

 

[W63L35]

Asif vs Misbah - I reckon, Asif gets Misbah out cheaply! What do you guys think?

 

[Uzzy]

Asif vs Misbah - I reckon, Asif gets Misbah out cheaply! What do you guys think?

If Misbah plays that is.

 

[Dhonifan]

Delhi will rout Bangalore
jeetega bhai jeetega...

 

[Imran_m]

Asif vs Misbah - I reckon, Asif gets Misbah out cheaply! What do you guys think?

I reckon Asif wont get to bowl at Misbah with the new ball, he may get a over in the death overs at Misbah and I dont reckon Asif is a good enough death bowler to trouble Misbah. Although some improvements are quite apparent in Asif's death bowling in the IPL.

 

[Gunner786]

ross taylor is still here so i don think misbah will get chance

 

[Gunner786]

i want delhi to play ab de villiers along with malik

 

[Imran_m]

ross taylor is still here so i don think misbah will get chance

Cricinfo are suggesting that Misbah may be replacing Kallis.

 

[Gunner786]

misbah missed out again

BREAKING NEWS:

"Our plan is to get to the final before giving Misbah a chance" said Bangalore captain Rahul Dravid. After asked how they would get to the final after losing 3 games in a row he replied, "cirket is a very funny game. Just watch, myself and Jaques will abosolutely murder the Delhi bowlers, heck i might even beat McCullum!!" After which most of the reporters had wet their pants!

 

[SameerM]

since the Bangers have left Misbah out AGAIN.. i would have to back the DDDevils

after which Dravid woke up from his dream

I know DDD have been winning recently.. so y change a winning team..

but if u think forward.. if Kaallis, Taylor, Mccullum leave at once! then the 3 replacements would be starting with no match practice, no form. Just thrown in at deep end!

 

[shabs100]

dravid has completely lost the plot!!

 

[Monsee]

Can Misbah sue for getting free money for just sitting on the bench...which will mean (if he wins) some more free money

 

[shabs100]

i think hes afraid that misbah might put more of a score on the board than he has done in the whole tournament thus far!

 

[SameerM]

Rafa Benitez would be perfect for IPL team manager!!! rotation rotation rotation

ps. Liverpool to give Chelsea a first class ticket to the dungeons tonight!!!
CMONnnnn the REDSSSSSSSsssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSS

 

[W63L35]

wat a moron this dravid is

This is the same guy who elected to field in Mumbai vs England and lost a great chance of winning the series;

[Mercenary]

[sohaib17]

yo why isn't IPL match on

what technical difficulties are there

 

[XFactor]

There seems to be some problem. Its already 4-5 min past the scheduled start time and the match hasnt started yet.

 

[Mohsin]

yo why isn't IPL match on

Hi there. Welcome to the 17th game of the IPL. Delhi Daredevils v Bangalore Royal Challengers. The big news coming from the capital is the absence of Delhi Cheerleaders. Women ... they are gone!

Setanta have taken a stand!!!!

 

[Imran_m]

Even the cheerleaders want Misbah in the playing XI

 

[XFactor]

From Cricinfo..

Oops due to technical reasons, the game is yet to start. The players are all waiting in the middle for the action to begin. One suspects this could do with the TV coverage. They are yet to start their telecast due to some technical reasons.

The umpires are walking out to the middle.

 

[sohaib17]

^^^

*** is wrong with the coverage i skipped my 2 and 3 class to watch the game

now i have to go back

 

[Sheikh]

Thrilling game this

 

[PlanetPakistan]

^^^

*** is wrong with the coverage i skipped my 2 and 3 class to watch the game

skipping class for a domestic game?

 

[XFactor]

The match has started. Telecast hasnt. Cricinfo is showing score update.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Even the cheerleaders want Misbah in the playing XI

misbah the best t20 world cup player and he doent get a chance. The indians have done this by purpose, they dont want a pakistani to be the best.

I dont want to say this, but it seems that way.

 

[Indiagem]

This is per CricInfo wiseman.

The thing about Misbah not playing is that Bangalore can only play four foreigners. You got to play Boucher, Taylor is in great form, don't even think about dropping Steyn and so that leaves Kallis and I guess they want him for his allround skills. Anyway, Taylor will be out after this game- he is leaving to join his New Zealand squad on the tour of England and Misbah will get a game.





So there is no conspiracy here as you claim.

no no its CricIndia

 

[Mohsin]

Back to the game, consecutive 4's from Gambhir in the second over from Zaheer, DD 18/0 after 2

 

[Indiagem]

no no its CricIndia

CriccIndia or CrickPak...the wiseman has said as it is and it makes sense...No conspiracy here.

 

[sohaib17]

whats wrong with cricinfo scores

 

[Oxy]

Even the TV companies dont want to show IPL any more

 

[Mohsin]

cricinfo info gone back to the first over now!! WTH!!

TruSachFan and Indiagem, this is your fault!!

Edit: It gone back again. 6 and 4 from Viru smacking ZK

 

[Oxy]

So this is another embarrassment for the IPL authorities!!!

First SLAPGATE

Now Technical issues preventing any TV coverage!

There will be effigies burning of TV screens tomorrow!!

 

[Lil_weed]

Wah Wah, Rahul's team getin demolished here today. DEMOLITION WORK IN PROGRESS!!!

 

[Lil_weed]

Bangalore Will Be Wiped Off India's Map Today By Delhi.....

 

[Mohsin]

So this is another embarrassment for the IPL authorities!!!

LOL
Didnt the floodlights go out in one of the earilier games?

 

[Lil_weed]

Come on Delhi

 

[Mohsin]

LOL Back to the 1st over from cricinfo!

Edit: Viru run out!

4.6 Steyn to Gambhir, OUT, Gambhir plays it down to point and sets off. sehwag responds, but the pick-up and throw from Ross Taylor is brilliant. The umpire gives him out without even consulting the third umpire. Shikhar Dhawan is the new man in
V Sehwag run out 24 (12b 3x4 1x6) SR: 200.00

 

[Oxy]

LOL
Didnt the floodlights go out in one of the earilier games?

Who knows - ask someone who was watching

 

[Legendary_Sage]

No more cheer leaders today.......
some thing good happened in IPL

 

[volcyz]

Dravid is so stupid tbh

 

[Toony™®]

got tv coverage but no commentary.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Good that dravid team is getting hammered ..... i wish them to get out below 100

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, just looked, STILL no Misbah! Unbelievable.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Wow, just looked, STILL no Misbah! Unbelievable.

really pathetic frm dravid & Co

 

[Toony™®]

commentary back - power shortage in control room is reason.

 

[f.b.m]

got tv coverage but no commentary.

Same here.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Steyn hasnt done too bad today

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Hope these nobodys get out quick

 

[Mercenary]

Come on someone get out so Malik can come in

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

DD 85-1 off 9.2 overs

 

[Mercenary]

rubbish fielding by Steyn

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Malik should be sent at no.9 to give him a lesson for what he did with the youngesters

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

rubbish fielding by Steyn

I thought it was a decent attempt - was not easy

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

G Chappel and A Sohail are commentating

 

[nikred]

hmmm......looks like misbah will have to stay on zero for a longer time in my fantasy team

 

[Indiafan]

rubbish fielding by Steyn

Cricinfo says it was agreat attempt

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

DD 91-1 after 10 overs

Good start

 

[Imran_m]

Malik should be sent at no.9 to give him a lesson for what he did with the youngesters

I second that. Also after each wicket falls send in another batsman and assure him that he is next.

 

[Mercenary]

I thought it was a decent attempt - was not easy

sshhhh, i want a wicket

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Misbah can probably bowl better than these guys too...

 

[Legendary_Sage]

I second that. Also after each wicket falls send in another batsman and assure him that he is next.

well done...

 

[Monsee]

Misbah is such a nice character otherwise he can always consult with Mr. Maanki and then operate on Dravid in the same loving way Mr. Maanki did on Mr. BootyShakeHoochiMaama

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I feel sorry for Misbah - why on earth did he have to go to the team with a dunce as Captain

then again it could have been worse and VVS Laxative could have been his captain

 

[SameerM]

Malik should be sent at no.9 to give him a lesson for what he did with the youngesters

revenge is great!!! if only ^it was possible
