YP dismissed. Jadeja in. Has to deliver today.

Thanks for opening this, else I was reading all the love hate threads

.
RR score at 5.4 RPO in last 5 overs. wonder why they have to blow it off after such a good start.
66 for 2 after 10.
If they can get to 140 + can give a fight with some good bowlers. Nut many batsmen left though.

Is ZK seriously injured ? It is less than 3 weeks for T20 WC....

ramshorns · « **Reply #3 on:** May 14, 2009, 03:54:29 PM »

I have a funny feeling about this game.

MI'ans will perhaps lose this.

Even this Quiney scores a 50

poondu · « **Reply #5 on:** May 14, 2009, 03:56:08 PM »

RR in control now. Jadeja /Quiney turning it on

justforkix · « **Reply #6 on:** May 14, 2009, 03:57:33 PM »

our WC bwling in disarray - bhajji in poor form, ZK injured !! only RPS in good form. Ojha who's playing well will be warming the bench....

poondu · « **Reply #7 on:** May 14, 2009, 04:08:00 PM »

Slinga doing well yet again. He is the bowler of the tournament.

justforkix · « **Reply #8 on:** May 14, 2009, 04:11:17 PM »

Chitnis ahead of Ojha, Raut

armchair_critic · « **Reply #9 on:** May 14, 2009, 04:20:49 PM »

now Raut ahead of ojha at this stage ..!!

ramshorns · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2009, 04:26:56 PM »

Man this RR team is so frail. They have no one basically to finish off in case Yusuf Pathan is not there in the end. Honestly man to man they are the worst team on paper.

armchair_critic · « **Reply #11 on:** May 14, 2009, 04:27:44 PM »

MI did well in the end .. 22/5 in the last 5 overs ...

Jayasuriya ends with a dream last over.

taka and rahane playing boring cricket..

mumbai in deep trouble...veery strange batting order

Cover Point · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:07:22 PM »

they have 4 key batsmen still to go.

Jaya, Sachin, Duminy and Nayar

dextrous · « **Reply #16 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:08:07 PM »

but at 3 down, the pressure is on...should have used one of them at the top at least

should be able to do it from here ...

4 key players still there ... and just under 9 an over for 10 overs. 9 out of 10 teams would make this.

poondu · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:32:49 PM »

I would send Bhajji in if a wicket falls.

that makes no sense...why not send 5 bowlers firstup then and leave the job to six who can do it

Tendulkar vs Warne

Tendulkar vs Warne

Tendulkar gets a boundary off a good shot. Warne foxes him 2 balls later.

Tendulkar 1- Warne 1

justforkix · « **Reply #22 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:50:55 PM »

last pair now - Sachin and Nayar

justforkix · « **Reply #23 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:55:11 PM »

Jadeja ON - make or break over - Sachin/Nayar have to take him on and get at least 15-20 runs.

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:55:39 PM »

Waayy too many wides by RR

justforkix · « **Reply #25 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:59:11 PM »

18 run over - just what MI needed. Sachin did that with all proper cricketing shots and no slogging

48 of 30 now....

justforkix · « **Reply #26 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:00:17 PM »

Warne, Botha, and Munaf will finish off - will be tough to get Botha away....

True, Duminy should have come one down with Jayasurya opeining. Bravo has done great in middle order.
They did not learnt anything from RR who brought down Ojha who was playing so brilliantly as opener.

Warne nails SRT....That was good....He got beat in the air.

I don't some how understand this strategy of teams where they make 7 RPO to 9 or 10 runs per over and then crumble when go for shots.
There are 6 PP overs upfront , which are so less risky to go for shots when compared with later overs where you have more players at field and literally every lofted shot carries a risk.

ramshorns · « **Reply #33 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:11:47 PM »

Mumbai up now.

RR with a weak lineup because of Warne fighting as hard a team can.

But that can get you only so far.

12th_Man · « **Reply #34 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:13:24 PM »

Two 4's from Nayar loosens up bit .
27 of 17. As per CP , 9 out of 10 times they should win it .

ramshorns · « **Reply #35 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:15:23 PM »

I think it is now a cake walk for MI thanks to Nayar.

Nayar is out but that Six settled it for MI'ans.

He is their MOM ofcourse there will be petitions for SRT flying in as well.
