[Ghoshtbuster]

Pretty sure Asif will play, given his performance in the last game. Dont know about Malik as he didnt get much of a chance, but is a good 20/20 player so should be in.

 

[dinakar]

I can see Delhi players laughing when Sree in to bat

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Black team batting first

 

[Xoib]

any free links

 

[161]

sehwag was plumb..

 

[Sparhawk]

Sehwag lucky escapes count: Already 1 in his first 7 deliveries.

He's given out this time. Just 2 lives in this innings.

 

[OZGOD]

Sehwag out to Pathan, 1/11

 

[161]

smart move to give pathan the new ball ... takes the spotlight off of crybaby ..

 

[OZGOD]

Wicket! Dahwan goneski for a duck off lee. 2/12.

 

[Sparhawk]

Our dunce captain is next in. But atleast he can bat, hope to see him dominate pathan some more.

Brilliant 444444444 off brett lee to get off the mark.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

yes 2 out!!!

Should be Malik in next

 

[OZGOD]

Malik in at #4. First time he's come out to bat.

 

[Dhonifan]

Rudi you*&^&^%^$

Come on DD, buck up and don't panic. Gambi, you gotta do it today!

 

[161]

bad decision for dhawan .. ball went of his shoulder .. malik to face lee

 

[Dhonifan]

Go Shoaib GOOOOOO. 444444

 

[dinakar]

Rudi has this problem time and again. he is always harsh on batsman on bouncers..

 

[lahori@denmark]

any links for the match?

 

[Sparhawk]

Katich could just as well be a Pakistani fielder. Some really silly stuff from him.

 

[161]

katich fielding like an indian

 

[OZGOD]

LOL at Krapich. He's showing how pathetic he is! Hopefully the OZ selectors are watching and will drop him from the WI tour side.

 

[OZGOD]

Krapich Must Go

 

[Sparhawk]

) )

Ramiz to sarwan: "Have you bought any more saris for yourself?"

 

[in_cutter]

Cry baby on to bowl

 

[Sparhawk]

Emotional moment for sreesanth. Backs out of his run up......

 

[161]

sree in . malik should sledge him !

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

here comes sree, would love it if malik gave him some abuse.

 

[dinakar]

Sree has a huge task of re-building his 'toughness' ) )

 

[Saj]

Malik smashes Santh to the cover boundary for 4.

Did I see a tear in Sanths eye

 

[in_cutter]

44444 by Malik

 

[in_cutter]

no hint of any sledging yet from Sree

 

[shabs100]

ramiz having a field day!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

LOL at Ramiz

 

[Sparhawk]

Srresanth and gambhir exchanging words. Two tough guys locking horns

 

[161]

lol .. rameez "malik's just SLAPPED one through the off side ... oops i shouldn't be saying that" har har !

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Ramiz cant contain himself!!

 

[Dhonifan]

did I see right? Is Sree actually trying to chat up Gambhir after what happened 2 days ago? This guy really needs help...

 

[in_cutter]

Gambhir is a class act!

[in_cutter]

Malik smashes another one for 444444!

 

[in_cutter]

Gambhir gone

 

[Dhonifan]

Gambhir out....

Pls stop dancing Preity, DD will still win....

 

[OZGOD]

Gambhir goneski

 

[OZGOD]

Crybaby getting pwned as usual. Bring Lee back on!

 

[Gunner786]

malik goes and so do i,
will be back to watch asif

 

[Dhonifan]

DD collapsing like a house of cards/...

 

[OZGOD]

Malik gone

Singh to Shoaib Malik, OUT, Delhi are losing the plot here! VRV bangs it in short and wide outside off, Malik eyes a six over third man but doesn't put much power on the stroke and ends up tamely upper-cutting it down Lee's throat at third man
Shoaib Malik c Lee b Singh 19 (17b 3x4 0x6) SR: 111.76

 

[161]

wooot ... ashish nehra is batting !??!!

 

[Dhonifan]

Not a single 6 so far! Sehwag should have come in at 4, knowing the bowling attack is good and Mohali will provide bounce.

 

[Omar-45]

First 6!

 

[Sparhawk]

If somehow they can get 150-160, Asif and mcrath could win it for them.

 

[in_cutter]

Ramiz chatting rubbish lol

he just said to Sarwan something about teaching swear words in Punjabi

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Might even get to see asif bat at this rate, 5 down

 

[Omar-45]

Lol, ye Sarwan was like ok whatever

 

[Dhonifan]

If somehow they can get 150-160, Asif and mcrath could win it for them.

exactly my thoughts!

 

[Shehryar]

Highest score of only 19 by Pakistanis in IPL out of a total of 8 innings,(Hefeez3,Afridi2,Akmal2,Malik1)

 

[Sparhawk]

Good over there, 1 boundary per over will get them to a decent score.

 

[Sparhawk]

Highest score of only 19 by Pakistanis in IPL out of a total of 8 innings,(Hefeez3,Afridi2,Akmal2,Malik1)

We've mostly contributed with the ball.

 

[Saj]

Santh being hit to all parts 14 off this over so far, with one ball remaining.

 

[Dhonifan]

sreeshant helping the daredevils out by rubbish bowling

 

[HuZi]

wo will win this game you think???

 

[Mercenary]

Come on Delhi batsmen, keep getting out so we can see Asif batting. This is boring!

 

[HuZi]

what a wicket DD MUST WIN

 

[HuZi]

Why Must Tiwary Go ????

 

[Shehryar]

150-160 can be a fighting total

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

should have sent asif in to play some classy cover drives.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

sly dig at australians there by Gavaskar

 

[Dhonifan]

Why Must Tiwary Go ????

good to see DD support..

 

[Saj]

Delhi have done quite well here after losing their main batsmen early in the innings.

152 for 7, one over left.

 

[HuZi]

ASIF GONNA BOWL AT HIS BEST YOU GONNA SEEEEEEEE
(I hope )

 

[Shehryar]

Sreesanth in IPL
4 12.1 0 129 3 2/31 43.00 10.60 24.3

 

[HuZi]

how long will the break take?

 

[Saj]

McGrath opens the bowling for Delhi. Pidge on his back instead of McGrath.

 

[Saj]

Katich opening the batting for Mohali.

I wouldnt really label Katich as a T20 type of player.

 

[Saj]

Pigeon strikes.

Goel given caught behind. Another shocking decision by Koertzen.

 

[HuZi]

Yes!!! 2-1 !!!

 

[Saj]

Asif to bowl. Lovely first delivery that beats Katich.

 

[Saj]

A replay of the lbw decision by Koertzen shows that it was going way over the stumps.

An "elite" umpire should not be making glaring mistakes like that.

 

[jackal786]

I must admit it is exhilarating to see these two bowling together.
