i just hope for once hafeez goes out there and expresses himself.
he can do it in this format.

a lot depends in ua and shezad as they seem to be the ones playing freely.

 

[ShaneBond_Fan]

So rain threat?

 

[khalil1986]

I'm guessing there won't be a game than or can the ground staff get the mops out and work their magic

 

[cricket.mad]

Common LL...Beat the hell out of this sambaar batch..

BTW,LL can expect fair amount of backing from local crowd whose nemesis no 1 is chennai

 

[Strike Rate]

A short match is good for LL because they depend only on 4 batsmen. A full match is good for CSK

 

[Zain]

Eurosport is not showing this in the uk, for some reason not showing on the schedule, where else can I watch this

Damn I only have Eurosport one on sky go

 

[Bullet Drive]

Game will be reduced. Maybe even cancelled. Rained all night.

 

[Strike Rate]

Game will be reduced. Maybe even cancelled. Rained all night.

I just saw the ground live on Star Sports and no water in ground. And rain has stopped already and umpires are out

 

[Bullet Drive]

We are hearing news that the umpires are out in the field and that they're hoping to keep to the schedule as long as there is no rain. However, the weather is not so accommodating, as the CLT20 twitter handle notes: "The drizzle in Bengaluru is intermittent. Covers going on and off continuously. Teams are warming up, no word on the toss"

"Usually it rains only Cats and Dogs...today the whole zoo is raining in Bangalore.." Rajan Singh enjoys his turn of phrase. "I stay just 14 kms from ground and it is already flooded here" Luckily the situation isn't so dire at the Chinnaswamy.

 

[MenInG]

Toss delayed due to rain

 

[Bullet Drive]

Must bat second today.

 

[mithun_minhas]

So if this rains out and Perth beats Lahore Lions, CSK will be in trouble.

 

[Aman]

LOL at Sachin getting 42 RTs and 52 Faves in 2 minutes.

LOL at Sachin getting 42 RTs and 52 Faves in 2 minutes.

Balotelli got 35k RT in 2 min few days back

 

[steelo green]

LOL at Sachin getting 42 RTs and 52 Faves in 2 minutes.

That's not that impressive.

 

[Aman]

That's not that impressive.

For a cricketer, it is.

 

[Aman]

Balotelli got 35k RT in 2 min few days back

No surprises there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Players have to come off field.

 

[MRSN]

LOL at Sachin getting 42 RTs and 52 Faves in 2 minutes.

I got 40 RT's once..

told ya it'll be cancelled.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I hope CSK picks Samuel Badree.

Pak batsmen can't play legspin.

 

[Aman]

I got 40 RT's once..

In 2 minutes? It's impressive for me as I rarely see many tweets from cricketers on CI's widget get such numbers in such a small space of time.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Guess LL and CSK are sharing points.

How much does this affect both the teams?

 

[MRSN]

Guess LL and CSK are sharing points.

How much does this affect both the teams?

both will have to win their remaining games to stay in the tournament.

 

[MRSN]

rain saving CSK. LL would have knock out another IPL team out of the tournament..

 

[shehzi]

raining hard .... No play expected

 

[Strike Rate]

Guess LL and CSK are sharing points.

How much does this affect both the teams?

LL will have to win both of the next matches than otherwise i see them going back home because of CSK NRR

 

[Bullet Drive]

No play for sure.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Whens LL next game..

 

[MRSN]

LL will have to win both of the next matches than otherwise i see them going back home because of CSK NRR

also hope CSK loses to Perth.

 

[razabbas]

I hope CSK picks Samuel Badree.

Pak batsmen can't play legspin.

Im happy with 2 points something is better than nothing

 

[MRSN]

Whens LL next game..

Saturday. 3.30 pm PST I guess.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I see.

So LL has to win 2 remaining matches and CSK 1.

Interesting.

 

[MRSN]

Im happy with 2 points something is better than nothing

We would have won. I'd love to have a short game..

 

[Barragan]

Oh well, hoping for some action vs the Dolphins.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Im happy with 2 points something is better than nothing

Cmon dude.

CSK is not that obvious a winner if a game is being played. It has its issues.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If there is no play within 2 hours 45 mins, game will be called off

 

[Bullet Drive]

Saturday. 3.30 pm PST I guess.

Nice one bro

 

[Strike Rate]

We would have won. I'd love to have a short game..

a short game will increase LL chances because of top 4

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

A shorter game will favor CSK immensly

Umar Akmal is the only good striker in the team, rest of them need time to get going, apart from Jamshed who has lost it.

 

[dashing_man]

So if the game washes out then its curtains to us and CSK as well

 

[Bullet Drive]

Will be raining on Saturday as well

 

[razabbas]

We would have won. I'd love to have a short game..

Have u seen this wicket ? Their top middle and lower could have hammer us all over the ground

Cmon dude.

CSK is not that obvious a winner if a game is being played. It has its issues.

We cant lose against csk but we cant win too

 

[Zeshan547]

So blessing in disguise for LL, now they really have a chance to qualify for semi. So i am satisfied with this washout, and rain always helped pak in qualification during big tournaments remember 92 world cup.

 

[Bullet Drive]

A washout hurts CSK more then LL

[mithun_minhas]

CSK getting screwed because of rain. They are in danger of elimination. They have to absolutely hammer their next opponent.

 

[Bullet Drive]

So rain is good.

This is not international cricket.

CSK have a beastly line up of BMac, Smith, Raina, Faf, Dhoni, Bravo, plus both Jadeja and Ashwin can contribute too.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

For a change we have one thing which Don Srini can't manipulate, the weather.

How exactly? LL also need to beat Cape Cobras on the other hand CSK only needs to beat Perth to go through albeit at a fair run rate.

 

[SAfridi]

Blessing in Disguise

 

[Bullet Drive]

We gotta win every game from now which won't be tough. Our first two games were hardest.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If this is rained out, and PERTH BEAT CHENNAI. Then CHENNAI ARE OUT. And then if Lahore win last 2 games, LAHORE GO THROUGH

 

[Bullet Drive]

If CHENNAI BEAT PERTH, then LAHORE HAVE TO win lasst two games at a good NRr to beat csk

 

[Strike Rate]

How exactly? LL also need to beat Cape Cobras on the other hand CSK only needs to beat Perth to go through albeit at a fair run rate.

Cobra is in other group we need to beat Dolphins which is not a very strong team

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK FANS HAVE TO HOPE FOR THIS:
This game is rained out
perth beat chennai
Lahore win last two

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This is not international cricket.

CSK have a beastly line up of BMac, Smith, Raina, Faf, Dhoni, Bravo, plus both Jadeja and Ashwin can contribute too.

Common mate !! seriously, LL is just a proxy for a Pakistani representation in CLT20. This team has top 4 international players that are currently representing Pakistan team and 2 more who played at the highest level for the country. Heck before even Adnan Rasool was in contention to be Ajmal's replacement so that effectively makes 7 International level players. Also have you even checked the emotions (on PP) people go through during these matches, seems like they do take this pretty seriously

 

[Strike Rate]

If CHENNAI BEAT PERTH, then LAHORE HAVE TO win lasst two games at a good NRr to beat csk

LL will against dolphins on same day before evening match of chennai and perth

 

[Electron]

What a shame. Of all the games, the one against LL gets washed off .. CSK will feel robbed

 

[MRSN]

What a shame. Of all the games, the one against LL gets washed off .. CSK will feel robbed

LL would have demolished CSK trundlers mate..

 

[MRSN]

When is Chennai's next game?

 

[TNA]

Cobra is in other group we need to beat Dolphins which is not a very strong team

Still it's much difficult to beat 2 teams than to simply better your NRR by beating only one team. I believe CSK has the edge to go through the SEMI's.

 

[TNA]

When is Chennai's next game?

27th we play first with Dolphins then Chennai plays with Perth.

 

[Electron]

LL would have demolished CSK trundlers mate..

I know, but CSK would have chased that total with 10 overs to spare. Such is our batting poweress.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Hahaha....owned that guy.

Awesome banter.

 

[SAfridi]

#GoodLuckLL!

 

[MRSN]

27th we play first with Dolphins then Chennai plays with Perth.

But we have our last game after Chennai are done with Perth. So it should be clear on what NRR we would have to beat Perth to knock out CSK..

 

[MRSN]

I know, but CSK would have chased that total with 10 overs to spare. Such is our batting poweress.

Those hacks are only good against club level trundlers. They will be a walkinh wickets against Wahab..

 

[Bullet Drive]

LL unlucky that they play there game first.

 

[SAfridi]

95% chance of no play *Yk*

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 hours. If no play till then, game is cancelled.

 

[SAfridi]

Hoping for abandoned Match today *y
Yk*

 

[SAfridi]

Hoping for abandoned Match today
