IPL | Mumbai Indians Vs Kolkata Knight Riders | Mumbai | 16/05/2008

[SameerM]

cmon Hussey u waster.. aint done jack in the last few games except one catch !

 

[TruSachFan]

outttttttttttttt

 

[tauseefm]

hussy gone

 

[Dhonifan]

pollock is having a dream spell of bowling!

 

[TruSachFan]

yesssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Indiagem]

haha ha ha....

Sachin's team is killing the dream team of many ppers...

 

[12thMan]

Hafeez with a brilliant four
KKR 26-3 after 5.2

 

[gibster82]

Are both Akhtar and Gul playing?

no they picked hafeez

 

[SameerM]

its not a dream.. its hakikat !! kkr will rinse the mumbai wannabees, and flush em down the toilet

The more the KKR batsmen fail.. the more Akhtar will be pumped.. wat u say ?

 

[gibster82]

akthar will have to defend a target of 105 today... and its likely he will get to bat today with the way things are going - maybe he will be inspired to hit a couple of sixes to give himself a bowling cushion... )

I hope akthar performs well though

 

[TruSachFan]

outtttttttttttttttt

 

[SameerM]

Boys, think of all the movement, pollock is getting..

wat u think will happen when the EXPRESS rolls in?

ps. wots pollocks speeds? any ideas?

 

[MIG]

Pakistani batsmen making it look like a regular Pakistani game where the batsmen do diddly and the bowlers try and make it into a game !

 

[gibster82]

its great to see that good quality international bowlers do well even in 20/20 - Akthar, Pollock, Mcgrath, etc

 

[gibster82]

Pakistani batsmen making it look like a regular Pakistani game where the batsmen do diddly and the bowlers try and make it into a game !

that was ganguly's plan from day 1 - except he didnt have akthar till the last game - because when it comes to Indians Ganguly is as pakistani as they get... ) )

 

[SameerM]

y is ganguly not facing? he seems to be shyin away

ps. cmon SHUKLA .. show us some of that jadoo again

 

[Sparhawk]

Looks like KKR want to challenge akhtar further. Lets see how good he is at defending a score of 100?

 

[OZGOD]

Great move by Tendy to bowl Pollock's over out to get another wicket, which will put immense pressure on Kolkata's fragile middle order. In T20 it's really pointless saving bowlers who are bowling well for one over at the death when they will likely get slapped around.

 

[12thMan]

...ps. wots pollocks speeds? any ideas?

around 125 kph. He has touched 129 I think but I haven't seen half the match

 

[TruSachFan]

outttttttttt

another tendy catch =))

 

[MIG]

"the Mumbai Indians - they are rocking " - Aamir Sohail ( like only he can say it)

 

[SameerM]

another one bites the dust!!

and Ganguly is STILLLLLLLLLLLLL there doing nuffing!

 

[12thMan]

worst start of the tournament by any team
KKR 29-5 after 7.5 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

another one bites the dust!!

and Ganguly is STILLLLLLLLLLLLL there doing nuffing!

Better than getting out. They needs to be some rebuilding here, run rate is not a priority.

 

[SameerM]

around 125 kph. He has touched 129 I think but I haven't seen half the match

so if a 130kph bowler is getting edges.. imagine a 150kph bowler!!! sick thoughts coming into my head right now

 

[gibster82]

this pitch has a lot of seam and bounce in it for indian standards

 

[tauseefm]

so if a 130kph bowler is getting edges.. imagine a 150kph bowler!!! sick thoughts coming into my head right now

130 kph edges are going in slip and 150 will go over the boundry. )

 

[12thMan]

get two more out this guy and the all-rounder Agarkar. Then Akhtar with Ganguly will be the ones to take it to 83 runs

 

[TruSachFan]

sir aggy will make a quickfire 50

 

[TruSachFan]

saha bowled

 

[gibster82]

they should send akthar out to bat - maybe he can hit a few sixes like he has done for pak on a couple of occasions

) ) )

 

[Sparhawk]

back to back fours to Agarkar.

Is niice.

 

[12thMan]

Is Harsha Bhogle sitting at the desk of/by Mumbai team. Why?

 

[gibster82]

i think agarkar will keep the strike to protect ganguly...lol

 

[gibster82]

they need to take full advantage of this thornely over

 

[SameerM]

realisticly kkr will get 80 maximum

pure crap batting...Mumbais being the underdogs here and oh my gosh

this match reminding me of THAT ireland and pakistan match

 

[SameerM]

WOT the FFFFFFFFFFfff********** is Ganguly doing? he has faced 10 balls for his 7

no wonder the teams is collapsing

 

[12thMan]

get someone out so Akhtar gets 8 overs to bat
KKR 46-6 after 11 overs

 

[Indiafan]

realisticly kkr will get 80 maximum

pure crap batting...Mumbais being the underdogs here and oh my gosh

this match reminding me of THAT ireland and pakistan match

After losing the first 4 matches, Mumbai has deefated Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai and Even Rajasthan in their next 4. Under-dogs they are not

 

[McBoom]

A slight assistance from the pitch and all the FTBs falling like a deck of cards. They should be made to face the bowling without any protective gear. Such cowards.

 

[SameerM]

Ganguuuly being no3 batsmen, should have took control and let the middle order bat WITH him, rather than letting them FACE and he just chilling at non-striker end!

*** - blame ganguly for the crap batting tactics..

on this batting performance kKr need to get kicked out of the top 4!!! pure besti

 

[Sparhawk]

53-6

I think they could get 110 from here.

 

[12thMan]

There is not too much assistance from pitch and the ball moves little more at night. The bowlers are all 125 kph. It is a good pitch

 

[jackal786]

realisticly kkr will get 80 maximum

pure crap batting...Mumbais being the underdogs here and oh my gosh

this match reminding me of THAT ireland and pakistan match

How exactly they are undergos with Jayasuriya, Tendulkar, Pollock, Uthappa, Nehra?

 

[SameerM]

i bet no more than 80 runs! no chance wot so ever

 

[161]

pffftt ... looks like shoaib will have to do it with both the bat and ball today ...

 

[TruSachFan]

gangu goneeeeeeee

 

[12thMan]

How exactly they are undergos with Jayasuriya, Tendulkar, Pollock, Uthappa, Nehra?

because they are facing Butt, Hafeez and Akhtar.

 

[gibster82]

because they are facing Butt, Hafeez and Akhtar.

lol ) ) )

 

[12thMan]

Akhtar lets the first two balls go. He has a plan. Hopefully he will text it on screen or here between overs

 

[gibster82]

its sad when agarkar looks like the most confident batsman on a team

 

[Mohsin]

Well cricinfo said:

This is the slowest 50 of the IPL.

After which Gangu had a heart-attack and got out! THE SHAME!

I'm 110% sure that Dravid and Bangalore can beat this record!

 

[lollol]

lol, this game is over

 

[Sparhawk]

What was agarkar trying? Trying to late cut between point and 3rd slip, unbelievably dumb.

 

[lollol]

this is shame, the opening fast bowling pair batting in the 13th over )

 

[Dhonifan]

Mumbai+Sachin=NUCLEUR ENERGY

 

[TruSachFan]

oh no

sir aggy gone

 

[gibster82]

they only way kkr can win is if akthar gets triple hattrick ) ) )

 

[jackal786]

Has AKhtar lost enough calories not to be able to bowl 4 overs on the trot

 

[gibster82]

i say they last another 5 balls at most

 

[McBoom]

What was agarkar trying? Trying to late cut between point and 3rd slip, unbelievably dumb.

No, he was trying to get it through the keeper and the slip. Just didn't work out.

 

[gibster82]

Has AKhtar lost enough calories not to be able to bowl 4 overs on the trot

a triple hattrick requires only 1.3 overs on the trott ) )

 

[OZGOD]

Why aren't they showing Sharuk? I want to see him dancing a jig!

 

[Mohsin]

a triple hattrick requires only 1.3 overs on the trott ) )

Ooooo i dunno! It'll be tight...

 

[jackal786]

Why aren't they showing Sharuk? I want to see him dancing a jig!

His loyalty would be divided. This is the city that made him who he is now.

 

[OZGOD]

Young Sharma out. Kolkata 9/65

 

[Mohsin]

Why aren't they showing Sharuk? I want to see him dancing a jig!

Because he's now dressed as Shoaib and out there in the middle batting (gives Shoiab a chance to get some bowling pratice in the nets for a little while)

 

[TruSachFan]

one moreeeeeeeee

 

[OZGOD]

caught and bowled Thornely

 

[Dhonifan]

) this is hilarious.

 

[TruSachFan]

lets go mumbaiiiiiii

 

[Indiafan]

Even Thornley has taken 2 wickets!

 

[gibster82]

Because he's now dressed as Shoaib and out there in the middle batting (gives Shoiab a chance to get some bowling pratice in the nets for a little while)

lol...i wanna see shoaib swing the bat

 

[OZGOD]

Lalit Modi looks unhappy at his team losing.

 

[gibster82]

This reminds me of india's batting against the aussies in the recent 20/20 they played

 

[Sparhawk]

Shoaib takes a single to keep strike.

 

[lollol]

^is that so? i just saw Modi laughing....

 

[MCMLXXXII]

shoaib retains the strike!

 

[Mohsin]

Great drive from Shah..............Shoaib

 

[W63L35]

Shoaib may have to take 7 wickets today in his 4 overs to beat Mumbai!
