IPL 2010 : Match 8 : KKR vs Chennai Super Kings

Langeveldt and Cheteshwar Pujara replaced by Shane Bond and L R Shukla.
Langeveldt may be nursing a slight injury.

Toss Dhoni has won the toss and chosen to bat first. "We don't want to look at the past game. We just want to bat positively, and give the bowlers a par-plus total to defend."

Ganguly, wearing a purple cap without having taken a wicket, says he would have bowled first anyway. "It's a firm wicket, will stay the same throughout the 40 overs."

7.25pm It's India's most successful successful captain versus the man who can become India's most successful captain. Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni are the opposing captains in the eighth match of the IPL. Big news is that Shane Bond walks straight into the Kolkata side, replacing Charl Langeveldt who has a glute injury, and Laxmi Shukla replaces Cheteshwar Pujara. Chennai have made one change, bringing in Manpreet Gony for Sudeep Tyagi. Toss in five minutes

KKR.....get ready to chase 200............unless Bond does something special

Bond starts well...........how Ganguly wished, he had a bowler like this at his disposal..all throughtout his captaincy of India!

Not so soon sir!
They still have Dhoni and Morkel.........I was just abt to say Raina....but Raina is bowled by Hodge...

Blwe_torch · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:16:58 PM »

Ganguly is changing the bowlers well!

Blwe_torch · « **Reply #10 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:23:12 PM »

Good over by LR!

Blwe_torch · « **Reply #11 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:26:03 PM »

A captain makes so much difference!

Dhoni takes a knock from Bond................good bowling change again by Saurav

ramshorns · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:31:10 PM »

I have watched Raina go yet again not quite coming to the pitch of the ball.

Raina along with Rohit and few others always toggle between shades of brilliance in 20-20 with vast portions of mediocrity.

At this rate they will never be good Test players that is the ultimate form of the game not this exhibition variety 20-20 which gives instant gratification and nothing more. Don't get fooled by the money and the popularity of the 20-20 game. It is not real cricket I don't care what you say. No way.

I am not sure what these guys are up to. They will never be called great batsman no matter how many runs they score in 20-20 and at whatever the strike rate.

ramshorns · « **Reply #14 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:34:18 PM »

Badri on the other hand showed some nice technique handling those almost 150kmph balls from Bond this over.

ramshorns · « **Reply #15 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:53:02 PM »

Badri, MSD pacing well here. 140 score will be competitive.

ramshorns · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:55:35 PM »

MSD creaming Laxmi Shulka.

Gone, Gone and Gone that one from MSD.

ramshorns · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:57:37 PM »

Now Badri should get out if he cannot hit 4's each ball.

Leave it to Kemp and Morkel.

Blwe_torch · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:00:44 PM »

Great batting by Dhoni

ramshorns · « **Reply #19 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:01:00 PM »

WOW. What a flat six by MSD.

50 in quick time there for the skipper.

ramshorns · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:02:21 PM »

So much for Bond being effective. Taken to the cleaners by MSD in that over. But in 20-20 that happens to all bowlers.

ramshorns · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:03:19 PM »

What a classical six there by Badri off Ishant. Huge six over square leg.

ramshorns · « **Reply #22 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:06:42 PM »

Poor effort by SG there. A better fielder would have saved the boundary.

poondu · « **Reply #23 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:08:54 PM »

CSK 25 runs short of a competitive target. You can expect the opposition to score 190 most of the time.

poondu · « **Reply #24 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:13:08 PM »

Seriously, whyTF is Rohan Gavaskar in the KKR team ? Don't they have better talent ?

ramshorns · « **Reply #25 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:13:51 PM »

First real Test for KKR here.

They did not perhaps expect to chase more than 140 here after those early inroads.

But Dhoni changed it all.

Big hits, great running and clever placements.

Badri showed his class there with some nice cricketing shots and getting the job done. Good for him.

Let us see if KKR can chase 165 here and show they can overcome a little bit of an adversity and roll along.

That is what you get if you are son of a SMG and playing for a Indian based captain like Ganguly. I seriously doubt if a Gilly or a Warne would ever entertain that.

ramshorns · « **Reply #27 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:21:30 PM »

Worst possible start for KKR. Hodge falls.
0-1.
SG in.

ramshorns · « **Reply #28 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:27:17 PM »

Tiwary shows bad technique.

Middle stump knocked out by Gony.

8-2.

ramshorns · « **Reply #29 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:36:37 PM »

Saha getting the runs.

Some lucky 4's and a good boundary the last one.

pzd · « **Reply #30 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:40:24 PM »

Harsha made a very pertinent point about Murali Karthik... a classical left arm spinner who doesnt bend his arm or who doesnt possess doosra

MK has been a very consistent performer for KKR.. meanwhile SG is unable to pierce the offside field

Another lucky boundary there for Saha. Almost gone. But they all count and that is all what matters.

ramshorns · « **Reply #32 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:45:16 PM »

A nice boundary now from Saha and then gets out.

A lucky not so convincing innings comes to an end for Saha.

KKR in a spot of bother now at 34-3.

ramshorns · « **Reply #33 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:48:52 PM »

Nice lofted boundary by SG.

ramshorns · « **Reply #34 on:** March 16, 2010, 04:52:41 PM »

Very good ball by Balaji to get rid of Shah.

46-4 and now KKR in trouble.

ramshorns · « **Reply #35 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:03:20 PM »

Ganguly falls. Picks the fielder in the deep.

Bad innings. 11 of 20 balls is a blasphemy in this format.

But wickets falling from the other end he had no choice but to wait, but still 11 of 20 is slow.

ramshorns · « **Reply #36 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:06:13 PM »

Dhoni spills a catch off Kemp.

Looks like he is injured or had an injury while batting and it is showing in his wicket keeping.

ramshorns · « **Reply #37 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:13:47 PM »

Angelo Mathews gets cheeky and sent on his way back to the pavilion by the umpire LBW.

69-6 and done and dusted are the KKR.

poondu · « **Reply #38 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:23:01 PM »

This is a seriously pathetic batting performance against a poor bowling attack.

No doubt abt that.....I think the late onslaught by Dhoni did the trick.
