[broadbat]

MI win toss and will bowl.

[gouravk]

2 spinners in the team - yeligatti and chitnis !

[broadbat]

Shaun Marsh on fire 57*

[ramshorns]

An observation in cricinfo:

Chitnis to Marsh, SIX, a mis-hit goes for a six! What's with the bats these days?? Steps down the track to loft over midwicket but he ends up miscuing it high to long-on, Smith runs across to catch it but there's enough elevation to take it over the rope

Very sad indeed to watch when the bowler gets the better of the bastman, the batsman gets rewarded with a SIX.

[prfsr]

Why is there no interest in this match? SRT stands between KXIP and victory.

[ruchir]

What a game.... last ball victory for PKXI, they win by 1 run.....

[pipsqueak]

*phew*

that was NERVE-WRACKING!

shdn't uthappa have sacrificed his wicket? also, VRV, what a clown!

[ruchir]

Yeah, I wonder why PKXI are still using VRV. He sure gave some lollypops today.

[ruchir]

Yuvraj let the crowd have it in the ceremony. He said I want to thank the crowd for their support, which was very one sided for Mumbai team, they should not forget that some of the Punjab boys play for India.

[poondu]

Idiot Uthappa loses the match for Mumbai.

[keep-it-cool]

Damn...so near and yet so far!!

What was SRT thinking? Why did Pollock bowl only 3 overs? Was he injured?

[gouravk]

whew todays results mean it is all open between CSK, MI,  DD (and even perhaps KKR) for the semifinal slots !!!

[keep-it-cool]

Awesome ...I wish there was some kind of relegation / promotion system as well - to give the lower ranked teams also something other than pride to play for.

[gouravk]

i shall be supporting KKR tomorrow ! 

just like the mumbaikars

[feverpitch]

Idiot Uthappa loses the match for Mumbai.

Uttapam is the new Mis-by-one-run...

[pipsqueak]

KXIP played an awesome match yesterday(even VRV redeemed himself a bit by that catch). i hope they go on to win the title -they deserve it.

i also hope that warne gets kicked out in the semis.

[feverpitch]

My hunch is that one of the two super achievers will stumble in the semis — KXIP or RR. However, there is no doubt involved in my prediction that Shaun Marsh is the find of the tournament. What clean hitting. Kid has no nerves. And most of his shots are copybook at that. In fact even when he goes for the occasional ugly heave, it's more soothing to the eye than a copybook shot by that Ghatotkach — Haydos!

[Libran]

Dilhara was the culprit... knowing he can hit harder and further... worked hard to ensure he remains off strike...

Dumbest of them all ... taking a third run that brings Nehra on strike 

[broadbat]

The VRV catch was on par with what KD took in the WC finals.Thats where any comparison ends however. Imo the best match of the tournament so far.

[gouravk]

oh come on ! first uthappa singlehandedly (how do i describe this ?) literally sh*ts on the wicket with one of the worst 2020 innings ever played ! and then you blame dilhara !

[keep-it-cool]

well .. we had two heavyweight teams battling against each other .. no wonder the match was competitive and tight

[pipsqueak]

well .. we had two heavyweight teams battling against each other .. no wonder the match was competitive and tight

uthappa does look rather on the heavy side! 

what's up with his hair? rodents attacked him at night?

[broadbat]

Dumbest of them all ... taking a third run that brings Nehra on strike 

It was Nehra who pushed for it I think. Had Dilhara not run Nehra would have been run out at the bowlers end. But true it would have kept Dilhara on strike. Don't think it would have mattered anyway.

[gouravk]

you can always trust nehra to not let us down ... er .. i mean those who watch him as a comedian !!! 

[Zacked]

Uthappa is an utter waste... pathetic... as pips said should have sacrificed his wicked but i think it has something to do with IKPs bouncer that hit him on his head... lost it completely

[Zacked]

Yuvraj let the crowd have it in the ceremony. He said I want to thank the crowd for their support, which was very one sided for Mumbai team, they should not forget that some of the Punjab boys play for India.

and whats wrong with the Mumbai crowd supporting thier home team.... Should they be cheering Punjab or Yuvraj Singh..

[broadbat]

Uthappa is an utter waste... pathetic... as pips said should have sacrificed his wicked but i think it has something to do with IKPs bouncer that hit him on his head... lost it completely

Err umm, some would say it should have knocked some sense into his head.

[gouravk]

uthappa is fat, portly, sports the most hideous hairstyle in the history of mankind, is arrogant, has attitude problems (as per rumors), is a very limited batsman and is taking himself down the drain.

nothing wrong but one would appreciate if they were not so unncessarily hostile. what was that booing dhoni the other night all abt ?

But the cricketers should understand that they are playing for a proffesional franchise team and not India...

[gouravk]

so ? does that mean you should get booed ?

[Zacked]

doesnt mean you should remind the crowd that you play for India as well

[gouravk]

mumbai crowd in general was pathetic. they could do with a reminder.

[Zacked]

IMO there wasnt a need to...

And why not?? We support our team wholeheartedly .. and try to get under the skin of our opponents .. all part of the khadoos culture

[Libran]

so ? does that mean you should get booed ?

Which again takes us back to the point ..  "Booing is not the sole right of any specific city or region as some would like us to believe"  

It happens everywhere and will happen... our understanding of the intensity is based on crowd attending the matches .. and what gets focused on TV

[Zacked]

when a chelsea or liverpool or for that matter Arsenal player get booed at old trafford they dont remind the crowd that they play for England
