[Indiagem]

You mf fernando..idiot win it for mumbai

 

[lollol]

WAHHAWHAWHAW, so funny this )

 

[invincible]

I am a mumbai supporter...but blaming Dravid for the batting failures of other bangalore batsmen and sarcastically calling him a beast is OK in your eyes.

Dravid's played some amazing knocks which showed the aggressive side of him during the IPL campaign. Only ignorant folks would forget those knocks. And what point there is in arguing with ignorants ?

 

[jusarrived]

lol the two lankans screwd up....!

 

[Mohsin]

Run for ur lives, just bloody run!

 

[Mohsin]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[WasimG]

See these two BEAST understudies did it!!

 

[Indiagem]

mumbai lost

 

[tauseefm]

so does it means Mumbai is out of the tournament?

 

[jusarrived]

last 3 games for mumbai...lost by 1 run , lost by a wicket & now again lost of the last ball !

 

[cars112]

Tendu's team lost again!

) ) )

Great to see Tanvir's team win

 

[cars112]

so does it means Mumbai is out of the tournament?

Yes! Tendu gone! )

 

[Mohsin]

so does it means Mumbai is out of the tournament?

They must beat Bangalore to go through

I think if Daccan beat Chennai (yh sure!!) then them and DD are through i think

 

[The WagonWheel]

Dilhara Fernando ) - Time for some Bata Littar Parade....

 

[12thMan]

last 3 games for mumbai...lost by 1 run , lost by a wicket & now again lost of the last ball !

they need Fawad Alam or Yasir Arafat

 

[McBoom]

LOL, what a stupid finish.

 

[cars112]

I think if Daccan beat Chennai (yh sure!!)

If they played the BEAST, it could happen! But since they keep leaving out their BEST PLAYER, no chance of it. So yeah, Chennai and Delhi through, TENDU OUT!

 

[WasimG]

I am a mumbai supporter...but blaming Dravid for the batting failures of other bangalore batsmen and sarcastically calling him a beast is OK in your eyes.

Excuse me!
Its THE BEAST not 'a beast'.
And no one's being sarcastic. Its obvious that T20 was invented just for him, the ultimate slogging machine!!

 

[Mohsin]

19.6 Fernando to Patel, 2 runs, Rajasthan have won! The tension got to Mumbai and they couldn't cope! Patel tried to pull the ball and mis-timed it towards the bowler, Fernando should have stopped it but he couldn't get down in time, the ball went towards mid-on where Smith fielded and threw the ball to the bowler's end, Jadeja was struggling to make his ground but Jasyasuriya failed to collect the ball cleanly and affect the run out, amazing scenes of celebration as the Rajasthan players mob Patel

)))))))))

 

[Indiagem]

Tendu's team lost again!

) ) )

Great to see Tanvir's team win

Warnes teams win...Tanno is just a worker bee

 

[Mohsin]

Yep if lala plays then mumbai may make it thru, if not then Chennai will win and mumbai out!!!!!

 

[Mohsin]

Warnes teams win...Tanno is just a worker bee

Whu got todays win tho. If it wasnt for Watsons last over then RR wud have won EASILY!!

but not to be too harsh on Watto, we all know wat he's done so far!

 

[Manish26]

Have not been following this league with intense fervor but got glued to it in the last couple of games.At the beginning was under the impression that Bangalore,Kolkotta,Deccan and Chennai will easily make it to the semis and Rajasthan on paper appeared to be the weakest league but congratulations to the entire team along with warney....Hopefully they will win this competition.

 

[cars112]

I'll tell you what Tanno is - he's the BEST BOWLER in YOUR people's tournament. Yes, get that straight: in a tournament containing millions of Indian bowlers like Ishant "superstar" Sharma and others, it is TANVIR who is OWNING them all. Indian bowlers were, are and will forever remain TRUNDLERS!

) ) )

 

[Mohsin]

Wait a minute, cricinfo says:

Bulletin - Delhi through to semi-finals

are they definately through? I thought they had to wait until the very end? Is it just between Chennai and Mumbai now?

Edit, i just checked the points table, yep they're through!! Mubarak ho dhonifan!!

Be happy and have fun based on the performance of a worker bee...I would take my hat off for Tanno...He is superb..not denying that. Hope he wins the MOM

Before the tourney started, looking at the squads I was sure the top team would be Deccan with Gilly, Afridi, Symonds and Gibbs in it (despite Laxman) and the bottom team would be Dravid, Kallis, Jaffer and Chanderpaul (despite Misbah). Here's how I rated them:

Deccan
Kolkata
Delhi
Chennai
Panjab
Mumbai
Rajasthan
Bangalore

The top team is at the bottom now. And I obviously underestimated my new fav player Rahul THE BEAST Dravid who did not end up at the bottom like I mistakenly predicted.

Why was he unable to win the series against India during the trip last year if he is vouched as the next Akram or Imran based on a few league matches?The only bowlers who had the capacity to own us were the 2 Ws and they are gone....

Of all the players from pakistan who played, tanno has come out ok...rest all have been crap..

Reminds me of a SMS joke that was sent to me by a friend on the night of a certain T20 final.

Knock Knock ..

Who is there ?

Misbah .

Misbah - who ?

Miss bah 5 runs !!!!!!

Sleep well

Yes...The goat killer beast took the place that was meant for him

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

At least we don't use bottle caps to tamper with balls

Thats because it doesnt make difference when bowling at 55mph.

 

[WasimG]

At least we don't use bottle caps to tamper with balls

Thats cuz a bottle cap is too heavy to carry for Ishant Sharma.

 

[cars112]

Yep, and also not much help when that guy bowling that max speed of 55mph is a non-spinning spinner...

 

[Mohsin]

Guys just ignore that idiot. Its only his second post and he's starting already

Ignore him

 

[cars112]

Hey man, the next superstar of world cricket can lift a truck even, don't insult him! Don't you know, he bowled that super spell to Ponting? He conquered the world with it!

Credit should be given to the entire team and the coach captain along with performers like Tanvir but still thought bangalore had a balanced attack to make it to the semis

cars112, please put all your efforts and try to start a PPL so that there might be more tanno like bowlers over in pakistan...

But wait, who will play in PPL, All you players will be in IPL

 

[cars112]

But wait, who will play in PPL, All you players will be in IPL

Yeah, you guys are giving several players of ours mini fortunes for not playing and sitting on the bench - why would we mind? Our players are getting the cash from you guys for relaxing in India while getting ready to smash your players in the Asia Cup! Works out well for us, really!

Yes you are right, but not just sitting on the bench but also carrying drinks and bags and coming as sub players.

Heres the list of Highest Wicket Takers and Tavir is well infront mashallah despite Warne, Slapashant and RP Singh having played in 4 more games then him

You forgot to mention the 16 players who decided to play for the unsanctioned ICL knowing very well that they will never play or have any desire to play for Pakistan...

thanks bro! I just cannot believe the finish this match had. I guess it's destiny now that DD will win the IPL trophy

Its not Sreesanth's fault if they dont slap him enough anymore.

 

[Dhonifan]

btw mumbai fans, dont despair just yet
if chennai lose their last match then mumbai is through to semis

 

[jackal786]

With Kumble's retirement is not being far away Indian spin attack seems to be much sharper. Mishra, Chawla, Ojha.

Where did that come from?

Chennai will not lose to Deccan unless the Beast plays. This is a statistically proven fact in the IPL.

 

[jackal786]

Where did that come from?

Well i forgot to include Yusuf Pathan who did a fabulous job in this match 3 overs 9 runs. That too against Tendulkar and Jayasuriya.

Ah OK, was just wondering where the spinners thing came in from

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

what did sohail said at the end?

 

[Dhonifan]

^hehe, tanno was getting too emotional getting MOM. said 'I love you' to crowd but rest i couldnt understand

 

[Saj]

What a mess up by the 2 Lankans at the end, firstly Fernando who misfielded a gentle push back and then Jayasuriya fumbling the ball as he stood over the stumps.

Mumbai in trouble, I think they have to win their last game and then it goes in run rate I believe.

to add, he bowled a wide ball as well!!!

 

[Saj]

yes thats right dinakar.

He was trying to play mind games with the young batsman in that he was starting his runup and then stopping, then restarting it. Funny thing is those mind games backfired on him.

 

[Iqbal'sh]

Did anyone see Sohail Tanvir's interview by Arun Lal after the 1st innings?

Arun awarded him the Purple cap for leading wicket taker in IPL and asked him about how he changes his style to suit T20 cricket.

Sohail Tanvir said something like he's been playing tape ball cricket in Pakistan for 5-6 years and that experience helps especially in the death overs getting the yorkers in.

Arun Lal handed over to Ravi Shastri who said something like : 'Good interview by Sohail, well spoken. Interesting hearing him talk about this table cricket -- must have big tables in Pakistan'

 

[srg]

Afridi is useless in the team. Even the god doesn't know when he scores. I hope DC doesn't do the mistake by picking him in this game.

 

[Sparhawk]

yes thats right dinakar.

He was trying to play mind games with the young batsman in that he was starting his runup and then stopping, then restarting it. Funny thing is those mind games backfired on him.

Fernando choked half way through the over, you could see it in his face. Its a mix of looking completely lost, and trying to act over confident and cool.
