[Dan C]

[Creag]

No IPL today...

 

[MickeyD]

Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bat


Chennai Super Kings: MEK Hussey, DR Smith, SK Raina, F du Plessis, MS Dhoni*†, DJ Bravo, P Negi, RA Jadeja, R Ashwin, A Nehra, MM Sharma

Mumbai Indians: LMP Simmons, PA Patel†, RG Sharma*, AT Rayudu, KA Pollard, HH Pandya, Harbhajan Singh, J Suchith, MJ McClenaghan, R Vinay Kumar, SL Malinga

 

[Creag]

Never ceases to amaze me how good players like Simmons are over looked by the West Indies.

 

[Creag]

And then there is Dwayne Bravo...

 

[MickeyD]

'cos they don't ascribe to their "vision"....

 

[Creag]

And he gets the first wicket for Chennai.

 

[Creag]

'cos they don't ascribe to their "vision"....

Such a pity.

 

[Creag]

Big wicket of Simmons. Hope that incoming batsmen can maintain the run rate

Pollard... from where again?

 

[Creag]

Pollard... from where again?

Looks like he has the bit between his teeth and amped for the game

 

[Creag]

Sharma almost got away with 3 wides in that over. Bam! Pollard helps himself to another six.

 

[Creag]

Wides are releasing the good pressure which Chennai had built up.

 

[Creag]

Awesome six! Flick of the wrists and it's a maximum!

 

[Creag]

Good innings by Pollard. Ironically if he'd let that delivery go, it would've been another wide.

 

[Creag]

Big wicket as Malinga hits the pads on the full. Smith gone in the first over.

 

[Creag]

Wides are viral tonight in Mumbai?

 

[Creag]

Vinay Kumar to du Plessis, 2 runs, that goes very very high, Malinga gets under it easily at third man and drops it!

He is easily a one dimensional player is Malinga :erm:

 

[Creag]

Chennai Super Kings 54/2 (134 runs required from 14 overs, RR: 9.00, RRR: 9.57)

 

[Creag]

Chennai Super Kings 79/2 (109 runs required from 11 overs, RR: 8.77, RRR: 9.90)
