[The_Cricket_Devil]

Jaya looking very much in control here as he pulls shoaib for 2

 

[Showman]

Four more to Jayasuriya.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and 4 more over mid off! Beautiful shots by Sanath

 

[pakistani]

vintage sanath smashes akhtar for another 4

 

[tauseefm]

hahahahaha shoaib is getting spanked by jaya.. good bating

 

[Mercenary]

Shoaib being brought back down to earth by Jaya, he needs to come round the wicket and fire in some yorkers

 

[pakistani]

and a 6 to finish the over

 

[Showman]

Akhtar goes for 23 in the over.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and another 6!!!!

44-1 after 3. Shoaib got destroyed that over

 

[pakistani]

who was the one who dropped JAYASURIYA

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Jayasuriya looks as if he is batting on a different pitch than everyone else

36 off 11 for the master

 

[lollol]

Jayasuria really in form here...

Im not a akhtar fan, but he didnt to much wrong... sanath is looking for a rampage here

 

[tauseefm]

23 runs in an over of shoaib

 

[Mercenary]

23 runs off Akhtar's last over

 

[Sparhawk]

That drop really costing KKR, not that they ever had a chance of winning.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

who was the one who dropped JAYASURIYA

Aakash Chopra

 

[surfer]

I had said right in the start of the thread that Sanath would destroy Akhtar.

 

[jackal786]

Akhtar is owned by Jayasuriya

 

[jusarrived]

I told you guys , Shoaib will surely prove expensive in T20's

 

[pakistani]

four more for uthapa

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

its not akhtar's fault if his team cannot hold catches

 

[Dhonifan]

Jaya catch was a tough one, was flying fast and hard over the head so its unfair to blame chopra really

i wonder if uthappa will get to make 10 runs even, Jaya looking to finish it off in 2 overs...LOL

 

[tmac4real]

GREAT to see the brutish Sanath perform. He's even hitting akthar like he's nothing! He has been under performing until last to games.

This format was tailormade for Mr. Jayasuriya.

 

[jackal786]

Now who is the daddy

 

[Showman]

Uthappa caught out.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

uthappa gone at midoff from a miscued pull

 

[Mercenary]

Shoaib being brought back down to earth by Jaya, he needs to come round the wicket and fire in some yorkers

He was going to come round the wicket for the last ball of his 2nd over but then changed his mind and got hit for 6

 

[pakistani]

out uthapa damn it ishant got a wicket

 

[12thMan]

Okay Akhtar has set up this match nicely now and made a game out of it. The other bowler will take one wicket and then Shoaib 4 wickets next over. Could have been five but that was a no ball

 

[lollol]

Uthappa trying to copy jayasuria )

 

[switchblade]

Jaya - late bloomer but best entertainer of IPL so far..

 

[jackal786]

This is just a start for Akhtar. This is a seaming track. Let him bowl on flat tracks like chennai. That would be a sight.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Now who is the daddy

definitely NOT sachin

 

[pakistani]

Uthappa trying to copy )

) )

 

[surfer]

23 runs in an over of shoaib

Thats one third of the total target.

 

[Mohsin]

Uttapapa gone!

 

[Mercenary]

its not akhtar's fault if his team cannot hold catches

It wasnt really a catch, he did well to get his hands to it. Had he caught it then it'd have been the catch of the year!

 

[Pak_mystery]

Shoaib will defenitly bounce back inshallah

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

It wasnt really a catch, he did well to get his hands to it. Had he caught it then it'd have been the catch of the year!

Well to win this they would need the performance of a century so a catch of the year cannot be too much to ask

 

[tauseefm]

this must be the last over of the match. Jaya gona finish the match in style(i think)

 

[lahori@denmark]

whats are the speeds of akhter and sharma today??

 

[Sparhawk]

Ishant getting some good pace as well now, 144 kph. With this bowling attack all KKR need to do is 150 in their 20 overs..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

NOO!! why agarkar!!?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

It wasnt really a catch, he did well to get his hands to it. Had he caught it then it'd have been the catch of the year!

"catch of the year'...LMAO

lets just say he didn't pick it up straight away and was late to move....catches win matches n that was a BIG drop to say the least

 

[Dhonifan]

definitely NOT sachin

unless you count good captaincy and 3 catches

 

[Mercenary]

jaya smashes SHoaib out of the attack

 

[gibster82]

this is so not akthar's fault - poor batting by kkr - akthar had both jaya (or close enough) and sachin in the first over - you cant ask him to do much more with a paltry 67 to defend

 

[jackal786]

definitely NOT sachin

Sachin is tired of being daddy.. He just finished being daddy in Australia. Now Jaya is taking over

 

[161]

Butchery from jaya .. but it never should have happened if he was caught the very first ball.

u can't give second chances in this form of the game.

 

[pakistani]

wow they replaced akhtar already

 

[jackal786]

That is called demoralizing attack.. what a player Jaya is.

 

[gibster82]

wow they replaced akhtar already

they have given up the game and dont want to risk him getting injured in a lost cause

 

[Mohsin]

Not Agarkar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sagar]

It's a shame to know that people are actually happy that Akhtar went for 23 in his last over. How pathetic all these Shoaib haters are.

 

[pakistani]

why wasnt ishant replaced after his 1st over

 

[jackal786]

That is not a catch.. He did well even to touch it.. it just flew over him.

 

[jackal786]

Agarkar is one guy who has been consistently successful against Jayasuriya.

 

[gibster82]

That is called demoralizing attack.. what a player Jaya is.

your a fool demoralising attack with 67 to get batting second in a 20/20 game - great job jaya...lol

he is batting confidently but this is not a reflection on kkr's bowling at all

 

[pakistani]

mumbai when they win it will be there 5th in a row

 

[gibster82]

if anyone is to be blamed its ganguly for shielding himself when he should have kept the strike

 

[pakistani]

after 5 overs

KKR 22-3
MI 53-2

 

[jackal786]

your a fool demoralising attack with 67 to get batting second in a 20/20 game - great job jaya...lol

he is batting confidently but this is not a reflection on kkr's bowling at all

Have you ever seen Jayasuriya bat when he is at his best? Obviously you haven't.. this guy has played 400 plus one dayers. Even if the total is 150 or 160 he would have destroyed the attack in the same way like other day.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Well atleast Shoaib got Sachin 3rd ball.. i know it aint much but could be the last time they play each other ever !

Jayasuria is battling like a legend its a shame to think all these class players have retired..

 

[Dhonifan]

That is not a catch.. He did well even to touch it.. it just flew over him.

]
exactly. chopra haters can go on all they like, but even Jonty couldnt have taken that 'catch'

 

[Showman]

The match could end this over.

 

[pakistani]

yes Jaya smashes ishant for 4

 

[Mohsin]

Another 4 for Jaya off sharma

 

[sagar]

This shows how stupid Ganguly is. If anyone who could even give them a slight chance of being competetive in match, that is Akhtar and he brings Agarkar.

 

[Mercenary]

I feel bad for the bowlers, what can they do when they only have 68 to defend!

 

[pakistani]

no ball and 6 haha ishnat being hammered

 

[Showman]

Six off Sharma, and no ball too.

 

[jackal786]

Tendulkar is Jayasuriya's no.1 fan. He has admitted as many times. One of the reason why Tendulkar picked Jayasuriya 1st for Mumbai Indians. He lived upto it with both ball and bat.

 

[siddharth]

when i saw the score ,i was thinking ,will Jayasurya finish it off in 5 overs .And he did it .

 

[pakistani]

free hit and 4 and thats the game

 

[Mercenary]

game over in 5.3 overs!!

 

[Showman]

Four runs, game over.

 

[pakistani]

Mi Destroy Kkr

 

[gibster82]

Have you ever seen Jayasuriya bat when he is at his best? Obviously you haven't.. this guy has played 400 plus one dayers. Even if the total is 150 or 160 he would have destroyed the attack in the same way like other day.

dude jaya is awesome no doubt but this does not reflect on akthar's bowling because of the paltry target

 

[sagar]

Have you ever seen Jayasuriya bat when he is at his best? Obviously you haven't.. this guy has played 400 plus one dayers. Even if the total is 150 or 160 he would have destroyed the attack in the same way like other day.

Just keep praising Jaya. Where were you when Shoaib took 4 wickets in 3 overs. I guess hiding in your jaya shell.

 

[pakistani]

finished the game wth 2 hours to spare
