KKR vs Mumbai Indians | 8th April, 2015 | IPL 8 | Kolkata

[mithun_minhas]

Akhtar has been such a great addition to Hindi commentary.

He says what a casual fan would say sitting in front of tv.

I am sure a lot of fans would be yelling at their tv screens the same things that Akhtar is saying. The rest of commies are chickens and are scared to criticize the bowling.

 

[gani999]

169 is Target

Kolkatta's rubbish batting lineup don't stand a chance against Slinga, Ojha, Bhajji and Vinay Kumar.

Let's see if I'm proved wrong!

 

[cricket.mad]

Narayan?

Krishnaswamy Narayan?

Narine bro.

We sothies spell it as narayan...they northies spell it as naraina or narine..same meaning

 

[mithun_minhas]

Narayan?

Krishnaswamy Narayan?

Narine bro.

This is like Rameez bhai calling Shakib as Saqib

Does he do it in english..unfortunately i wont understand hindi much

 

[desi_launda]

Narayan?

Krishnaswamy Narayan?

Narine bro.

anglicized version of Narayan

 

[iHammad]

If Uthappa and Gambhir get going then KKR can chase this.

Surely after this bowling, Wasim bhai will have a serious talk with the bowlers

Slings - Looks like stuffed turkey now. Not threatning at all.
Ojha - ?
Bhajji - hasbeen
Vinay - LOL

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

anglicized version of Narayan

Yeah....I know bud but still that's his name.

There's a WI guy called Veerasammy Permaul when its Perumal actually (Tamil name).

Did you watch last years IPL?

Kolkata batting is kinda strong. Dunno about the form now but they were scary last time.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Mahalinga looks 5 months pregnant.

 

[Anchorman]

Akhtar has been such a great addition to Hindi commentary.

He's absolute quality. Regularly serves up gems.

 

[Electron]

And Siddhu?

Sidhu se to bore ho gaya..

 

[EliteCynical]

Yeah....I know bud but still that's his name.

There's a WI guy called Veerasammy Permaul when its Perumal actually (Tamil name).

What about Mahendra Nagamootoo (Nagamuthu) ?
A few other names excluding ofc Chanders, would be Narsingh deonaraine (Dev Narayan), Dinanath Ramnaraine (Straight out of Angeepath's screenplay) etc.etc.. but hate the fact that Gavaskar makes it a point to say 'Shiv Naraaayan Chandra pal' everytime. They have an official name. For god's sakes, please pronounce properly.

 

[Anchorman]

People underrating KKR's batting line up didn't see last year's IPL. I'm gonna back them to chase this.

 

[SamNJ]

Sidhu saying Steve Smith has credited IPL for his rise.
Is it true ?

 

[desi_launda]

Sidhu saying Steve Smith has credited IPL for his rise.
Is it true ?

yes

 

[iHammad]

Malinga bowling 147 kph right after World Cup

 

[desi_launda]

Vinay Kumar to Gambhir, no run, Pace like fire. Vinay Kumar, captain of double treble in Indian domestic cricket, has broken Gambhir's bat

 

[iHammad]

Vinay Kumar breaks Gambhir's bat )

 

[Electron]

He's absolute quality. Regularly serves up gems.

Yeah.. he is brilliant, funny as hell.

Has he commentated in the past or is it something new to him?

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Never seen anything like that before... Breaking a Bat like that that too when mighty Vinay Kumar is bowling..LOL

 

[desi_launda]

VK breaking bats at 127 kmph

 

[Electron]

yes

MashaAllah.. and some people wanted IPL to die.

 

[desi_launda]

MashaAllah.. and some people wanted IPL to die.

buri nazar walo ka mooh ****

 

[desi_launda]

why is the world "k-a-l-a"banned ?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yeah true....

 

[desi_launda]

dropped

 

[iHammad]

Dhannay ho IPL ki

 

[desi_launda]

 

[iHammad]

Corey Anderson first ball treated with a six )

 

[desi_launda]

Malinga already out of the attack lol

 

[desi_launda]

5 drops today LOL

 

[desi_launda]

 

[iHammad]

Now it is all upto Manish Pandey and then Yusuf bhai

 

[Anchorman]

Yeah.. he is brilliant, funny as hell.

Has he commentated in the past or is it something new to him?

His first commentary assignment was the WC, I believe.

 

[JaDed]

I didn't follow IPL last year but Corey Anderson looks like an amazing addition to MI! already got a wicket and scored imp 55

 

[KevinFern]

Yeah....I know bud but still that's his name.

There's a WI guy called Veerasammy Permaul when its Perumal actually (Tamil name).

West indies history must be very fascinating. People of Indian origin there have representation from different places of India. There is Biharis, Tamils, Muslims etc

 

[JaDed]

KKR not winning it this year!

 

[Justcrazy]

This will need good batting to chase this down

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Always wondered about that.

Lots of names have a Tamil touch to it.

 

[JaDed]

Gambhir is finished at international level!

 

[iHammad]

Gauti with a wild swing and miss against the legend Vinay Kooomar

 

[mithun_minhas]

Always wondered about that.

Lots of names have a Tamil touch to it.

Must have exported people starting from Chennai and Kolkata seaports.

 

[a_jawad]

Is it just me or is the commentary actually terrible?

 

[iHammad]

Pandey with a straight six and Eden Gardens goes wild

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey giving some momentum here

 

[iHammad]

Pandey with a huge leading edge and it goes for four

 

[Justcrazy]

32 / 1

5 overs

 

[JaDed]

what kind of crappy action is that???

 

[Anchorman]

I didn't follow IPL last year but Corey Anderson looks like an amazing addition to MI! already got a wicket and scored imp 55

He was bang average for them last year considering the amount they paid for him.

 

[iHammad]

I remember this Bumrah guy got some serious hammering last season....horrible bowling action

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey is a Tulla Player , he does not waste many balls.

 

[JaDed]

He was bang average for them last year considering the amount they paid for him.

ah ok they did the same mistake with Maxwell paid 1 million or more for him and then had to release him and Punjab grabbed him and made him the power start.Good they stuck with Corey atleast.

 

[Anchorman]

Bhumrah is the trundler equivalent of Paul Adams.

 

[iHammad]

I thought it was spelt Ohja not Ojha?

 

[Anchorman]

I thought it was spelt Ohja not Ojha?

No, he was always Ojha.

 

[iHammad]

New bowling action for Ohja

 

[Justcrazy]

Gambhir

 

[iHammad]

More round arm bowling action for Ojha. And Gauti with a six! Varun bhai just had a huge smile on his face

 

[Anchorman]

Ojha has really cleaned up his action but he's lost a lot of pace and turn. India should start their search for a new spinner.

 

[Justcrazy]

49.1
7 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

One of this two need to bat till 15 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey is a match winner !!!

 

[Anchorman]

KKR not doing that badly for a "poor" batting lineup.

 

[Anchorman]

Corey misjudges and drops a sitter.

 

[Anchorman]

Gambhir is arguably still the best player of spin bowling in India. Manipulates the gaps so well.

 

[Justcrazy]

84 off 60 balls required

 

[mithun_minhas]

Gambhir is arguably still the best player of spin bowling in India. Manipulates the gaps so well.

He is good player of spin when the bowler does not spin the ball.

Bhajji is useless now.

 

[SamNJ]

Cheerleader looked worried when the catch was dropped. Akhtar said fikar na karein khatoon

 

[EliteCynical]

Is this the end of Bhajji the cricketer? Looks like he is finished. A cricketer with one foot in his grave (Gambhir) and firmly made sure he lands a few nails in Bhajji's coffin. Even during auction, I thought MI made a mistake by not releasing Bhajji. I could be wrong and may be he can come back and take the purple cap, but still i believe he is done and way past his sell by date.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malinga

 

[iHammad]

Manish Pandey just flicked malinga for six !!!!

True , he is past his date.

 

[mithun_minhas]

MI bowling is a joke.

Vinay/Bhajji/Ojha?? )

 

[Justcrazy]

94 / 1

11 overs

 

[iHammad]

Malinga is going for 9 an over

 

[Anchorman]

MI bowling is a joke.

With that bowling attack, they have the wooden spoon locked up.

 

[SamNJ]

Pandey could be India's ODI prospect for middle order slot.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kolkata need a cameo from Yusuf here
