[W63L35]

Warne (the captain) vs Gilly (the captian)....
Huge grudge match!!!

 

[Master Blaster]

Come on Warnieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!

 

[W63L35]

I'd like these two teams to play the final. I think, they will!

 

[Indiafan]

I'd like these two teams to play the final. I think, they will!

Very tough for DC

 

[Indiafan]

Deccan to bat

 

[Saj]

I believe that Deccan have not won a match batting first.

Gibbs and Gilly opening the batting.

Gibbs and Gilly opening the batting.

If they get going, God Help Rajasthan

 

[sunny92]

Hasn't Laxman "recovered" yet?

 

[Master Blaster]

Boom Boom should bat at 1 down !!

 

[Saj]

Bang !

4 to Gilly. Hammers it through the covers first ball. Tanvir the bowler

 

[Saj]

Tanvir has definitely developed that delivery that leaves the left hander.

 

[OZGOD]

444444444 more for Gilly

 

[OZGOD]

Watson up to bowl now. Someone punish this trundler!

 

[Saj]

Gibbs has looked very circumspect in this tournament so far.

Time to break the shackles today perhaps.

 

[nikred]

444444444 more for Gilly

Ozg are you watching on any link

 

[OZGOD]

Watson looks like he's about to do a Sreesanth (i.e. cry) after some no balls.

 

[OZGOD]

Ozg are you watching on any link

I'm at work and I have it running on a little WMP window while I'm working. Don't tell anyone though!

 

[OZGOD]

Warne's trying to sledge Gilly. Shut up fat boy, have some more pies instead!

 

[nikred]

I'm at work and I have it running on a little WMP window while I'm working. Don't tell anyone though!

but let me know which link it is.

 

[OZGOD]

44444444444444 for Gilly

 

[Master Blaster]

exxxxxxxxxxxxcellent over by watsy !!

 

[OZGOD]

but let me know which link it is.

Oh, I paid for it. It's the www.cricketon.tv site.

 

[Saj]

17 for 0 in the third over.

Big appeal from Tanvir, was missing leg I think.

 

[OZGOD]

exxxxxxxxxxxxcellent over by watsy !!

 

[Ali Khizar]

any web links for live video

 

[Saj]

smashed through the covers. 4 more for Gilly.

 

[OZGOD]

Beautiful cut shot through the covers for 4444444444444 from Gilly. Warney looks distraught

 

[Saj]

slower one, cleverly played by Gilly down to fine leg. 4 more

The Deccan dancers do their stuff.

25 for 0 after 3.

 

[Master Blaster]

Concentrate on ur job !!

 

[OZGOD]

Nice flick down to fine leg for 44444444444444

 

[Master Blaster]

Gilly makin Tanvir look silly !!

Boom Boom !! Bang Bang !!

 

[OZGOD]

Concentrate on ur job !!

I will once Gilly gets out

 

[OZGOD]

Munaf sledges Gibbs

 

[Ali Khizar]

weblinks anyone?

 

[OZGOD]

Tanvir needs to bowl fuller to Gilly. He's bowling too short and Gilly's putting him away through the offside with ease.

 

[Saj]

Smith drops a sitter at cover.

A life for Gibbs, who looks horribly out of form there.

 

[OZGOD]

Gibbs dropped by his teammate Smiffy at cover lol. Smiffy was doing his Geraint Jones impersonation.

 

[asifp]

Smith drops a sitter at cover.

A life for Gibbs, who looks horribly out of form there.

Actually looks like if you pitch slightly back of length the ball is staying low

 

[moumotta]

Need a wkt or 2 quick

 

[Saj]

6errrr Gilly launches one over mid wicket off Watson.

 

[OZGOD]

666666666666666 for Gilly, put away over the long-on boundary.

 

[Pak_mystery]

Tanno geting smashed allover the park tonight .. Defenitly not his night..

 

[OZGOD]

Hesitant shot by Gibbs but put away to the long off boundary for 444444444

 

[Pak_mystery]

Just why cant they open with afridi..

 

[Saj]

42 for 0 from 5.1 overs

Potentially this duo are the best and certainly on paper the most entertaining opening partnership in the IPL?

 

[OZGOD]

Edged but safe, Gilly gets a lucky 44444444444 after the keeper missed the edge

 

[OZGOD]

Munaf is actually bowling a better length than Tanvir is at the moment. He's cramping Gilly for room.

 

[BD-fan]

50 in 6 overs not bad

 

[BD-fan]

fat boy in for some heavy pasting.

 

[Saj]

Warne is still a class act even these days.

54 for 0 from 7 overs

 

[nikred]

Oh, I paid for it. It's the www.cricketon.tv site.

thanks for the site Ozg. purchased it

 

[FAM]

Shocked at the way Gibbs has played.

 

[12thMan]

74-1 after 10 overs
Gilly on 49 (36 balls)

 

[Saj]

Shocked at the way Gibbs has played.

looked horribly out of form didnt he.

Big sixer from Stryis. 50 to Gilly.

82 for 1 from 10.3 overs.

 

[OZGOD]

Massive 66666666666 from Styris and they've lost the ball lol. It's on the roof apparently.

 

[OZGOD]

Gilly gets his 50, leading from the front.

 

[TruSachFan]

its on the rooofffffffffffff


the little fellow has hit the big fellow for 666666666


anyone remember this?

 

[NeVerMind]

styris gone - pathan bowling and warne taking the catch

 

[Saj]

Styris skies one - gone, caught by Warne off the bowling of Pathan. Rubbish innings from Styris.

 

[nikred]

oh no styris gone

 

[Saj]

Sharma is in now.

88 for 2 now.

 

[NeVerMind]

On comes the new golden boy of Indian cricket - Rohit Sharma

 

[Saj]

Rajsthan doing a good job here.

4 more to Gilly

96 for 2 from 13 overs

 

[OZGOD]

Styris you nub. Styris out for 13 bowled Pathan caught Warne.

 

[OZGOD]

44444444444444 for Gilly. Gilly needs to be there for another 5 overs.

 

[Easa]

Bring in Sir Animal

 

[Saj]

Gilly gone. Caught behind

97 for 3

 

[NeVerMind]

Brings in Afridi!!!

 

[Saj]

In walks No. 10 Afridi to huge cheers.

 

[Saj]

Afridi walks down the track and gets a quick single

 

[Usman Chadda]

Off the mark with a beastly single

 

[Farhad]

Now he really has the stage set to score a decent 30-odd.

 

[Farhad]

100/3 off 14. 170 should be par right now.

 

[Saj]

100 for 3 from 14 overs.

Looking through the Deccan side, they really do rely heavily on the top 5 players. The rest just seem to be nobodies.

 

[pakistanbest]

sadly cant get stream to watch the innings of the beast.

inshallah he scores big

 

[Saj]

Warne to Afridi. Should be fun.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

And out walks 'the beast'.

 

[nikred]

sir animal has yet another brain fart
