IPL 2012 Discussion Thread

I see that that Harbhajan Singh is captaining the Mumbai Indians despite Tendulkar being in the side. Interesting.
 
Nehra to Peterson, OUT, top-edge and this is caught! Short ball yet again and Peterson tries to go for a pull, comes on faster to the batsman, gets a top-edge and Ganguly runs in from long-off to take the catch.

Would have been nice to see him go on a bit more, especially given he had the time left.
 
Honestly, I never thought this could possibly be a close game.

45/3 after 9 overs. PW need 6.9 per over (or 76 from 66 balls) from here to win.
 
Got home just in time to catch the last two overs. Tight as duck's backside, that was. Did not think Mumbai would defend that. So credit to them.
 
Was a good game tonight between CSK & DC. Again DC on the losing end. Got all the quality players, but just do not seem to be able to close games out.

Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai

Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field

Malinga to Vijay, OUT, Faf has been run out, Vijay's done him in. The ball was on a good length and straight, Vijay pushed it towards mid-on and called for the single and ran. Faf responded quickly and set off, and then Vijay stopped and went back. Faf had no hope unless the throw from mid-on missed, it did not. RP Singh was the fielder

F du Plessis run out 9 (11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

Faf should have carried on running.

Vijay is a twat.

Should you run out your partner the least one can fsckin do is try and bat through most of the innings.


CSK have a loooooong batting line up. They will have to make the most of a fairly quick start.
 
As a batsmen, Dwayne Bravo is a little overrated, or is my perception of him wrong?
 
Singh to Morkel, OUT, bowled him! Morkel made room by moving way outside leg stump, RP Singh followed him with a yorker and the ball crashed into the pads and rebounded on to the stumps after Morkel missed the flick


JA Morkel b Singh 3 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Another back of the innings job for Morkel :(
 
CSK losing too many wickets in the final overs. Still a defendable total.
 
A question, not that Hilfenhaus isn't great option, but where is Doug Bollinger?
