MATCH THREADS: IPL2012, League Stage

[Equinox]

Umesh Yadav is a great find for India. He could turn out to be their best pacer since Zaheer.

[Equinox]

Yusuf coming good at the right time.

[Habib]

Well, don't worry folks. KKR will win by 1 run. So Shakib will be the match winner in the end with his 1 run. How about that? :smug:

[Bonglababu]

You can build castle in the air :facepalm:

[Equinox]

What a shot from Shukla off Morkel.

[Bonglababu]

Well the onus is on the bowlers now, specially Balaji/Naraine/Shakib/Bhatia. See if they can turn things around.

[Bonglababu]

Shukla is proving me wrong :D

[MohammedC]

Well they got 140. How many can they get in last over.

[TigerEz]

This is called cricket where an off form batter comes in form in pressure

[Bonglababu]

If Morkel goes wicketless, chances are Narine will topple him to bag the most number of wickets in the series.

[MSM B2C]

Well they got 140. How many can they get in last over.

At the moment KKR On Top, but Sehwag and Warnmer!

[TigerEz]

get atleast 20 runs in the last over

[Bonglababu]

:four:

yay

[Tiger444]

Everyone underestimated Shukla. This guy can bat!

[Bonglababu]

155 could be a handy amount

[Bonglababu]

pathan and Shukla goes berserk

[Habib]

Match winning over this.

[TigerEz]

We got this bih!!!

[Maysun]

Finally YP comes to the fore

[TigerEz]

Time for shakib and narine to do their job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!damn pathan...u one babe

[Equinox]

What batting. Well done Yusuf and Shukla.

[simon]

excellent stuff by Shukla & Pathan

[Bonglababu]

162 isn't that bad; provided you can bowl intelligently.

[Naimul_Hd]

with such target, shakib just got a life line.

[zinatf]

Kudos to Pathan...he finally got 40 runs...ahh well....163 needed for DD to win!

[Roni_uk]

Good total to defend in the end. Last couple of overs didn't look like at all as difficult as McCullam and Kallis were making out to be.

[roman]

KKR managed 162!!! wow

[Tiger444]

Wow some of you guys were so down not to long ago. All of a sudden feeling optimistic? This is why you have to be patient. T20's can change on a dime.

[MohammedC]

Now stage is set for good match. If KKR loose it will be because of Delhi's batting

[Habib]

DD has paid the price for not playing more than one spinner.

[TigerEz]

I hate Patience

[Bonglababu]

Remember, Veeru and Warner is no pushover. They can crush any opponent in their day. You gotta get them as early as possible.

[fush_montor]

the rate at which Kolom and Kolshi scored:facepalm:

It's better to get out trying to accelerate than to play such slow innings.. If Pathan and Shukla didn't manage those runs at the end Kolshi and Kolom would've been blamed for those selfish innings !!

[roman]

I will be so happy if Shakib gets sehwag..that's all I need

[Habib]

Shakib will most likely face both Sehfag and Warner since he is usually given the ball upfront.

[TigerEz]

Ajajy jadeja u mathater,...........

[zinatf]

GG called Shakib before entering the field...let's see....

He did it for the greater good- to teach kids like you a lesson. LOL.

[Habib]

Ha ha. Shabbash Shak.

[Razi]

These morons at KKR have made a rule that they will misfield and give away byes in Shak's bowling.

[TigerEz]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D fuq wrong with u hitting the king for a six...pay the price

[Equinox]

Unlucky Warner. That was not out lol.

[Bonglababu]

Warner cameo over :fire:

Yessss yesssss yesssd Shakkyy

[TigerEz]

[Naimul_Hd]

Btw, why do they misfield and give away runs while shakib bowls ?

Sehwag goes!!

[Bonglababu]

here goes the skipper

[roman]

hehe....lucky shaki ! :D

Btw, why do they misfield and give away runs while shakib bowls ?

They get too nervous playing with #1 allrounder..

[TigerEz]

bring narine in

[Bonglababu]

Two of Delhi's backbone is gone in successive deliveries. T20 is fun

[TigerEz]

T20 is very fun....

[Naimul_Hd]

Manjrekar is crying for Delhi and warner

[roman]

Two of Delhi's backbone is gone in successive deliveries. T20 is fun

T20 is very fun....

It's only fun when Shak plays

[Equinox]

Balaji looks to have injured himself. Not good for KKR.

[Naimul_Hd]

They get too nervous playing with #1 allrounder..

haha...good one :)

[MohammedC]

If Balaji does his hamstring. Shakib's chance for next match is low.

[Equinox]

Shakib looks to have shaved after a long time. Looking good. Four from Jaya.

[MohammedC]

Shakib will be sitting next match for sure.

[Equinox]

Damn! Looks like that's the IPL done for Shakib.

[TigerEz]

holy ****

[Maysun]

Shouldve bowled fuller! Giving the batsmen chance to free their arms

[al-Sagar]

pre prediction .....

balaji and shakib out, lee and bisla in for next match

[Razi]

Man, Kalam&Kolshi duo have made this pitch look ridiculously hard to score off whereas this isn't the case at all!

[zinatf]

Need to take Jayawardene and Ojha both naile KKR-er khobor ase...

[Equinox]

not Shakib's day.... but on his defense doesnt look like he is getting any help from the pitch...
DD's SLA bowled four overs, 18 runs, 1 wicket. And he is a 19 year old Indian.

Just bring Narine on. Delhi are walking away with the match.

[TigerEz]

:'( lost

[roman]

Shak will come back strongly..he will get 2 more wickets

[Habib]

:'( lost

Not so fun anymore is it?

[Bonglababu]

the mystery man comes to rescue KKR

[Equinox]

Narine is just too good.

[Bonglababu]

great bowling :clap::clap:

[MohammedC]

Mahela is the right batsmen for DD at this moment. KKR need to get Ojha out to open up one end. I dont think Catch Chor Taylor will play spin well.

[Razi]

DD's SLA bowled four overs, 18 runs, 1 wicket. And he is a 19 year old Indian.

Just bring Narine on. Delhi are walking away with the match.

That's because McCullum and Kallis were batting at that time and both were utterly clueless as to what to do.

[Tiger444]

DD's SLA bowled four overs, 18 runs, 1 wicket. And he is a 19 year old Indian.

Just bring Narine on. Delhi are walking away with the match.

Shakib bowled in the PP overs. Not a fair comparison

[Bonglababu]

Narine has to do something

[MohammedC]

DD will win by atleast 4 wickets

[Bonglababu]

106 needed in 78 balls

[Bonglababu]

It's a bit quirky to send Abdulla at this stage

[ialbd]

It's a bit quirky to send Abdulla at this stage

he bowled well though...

on a sidenote... the beating Shakib took, I wonder if B.Lee bowled those overs if it would have been any different. Kalis is definitely getting some bounce off this pitch...

[Night_wolf]

hmm so i guess this is the end of Shakib for ipl 2012

[Habib]

Oh well. Looks like Shak won't play the final after all, if they win here. In that case my support will go to the other team in the final.

[simon]

need quick wickets

[TigerEz]

whoooooooooooooo

[ialbd]

Delhi's batting is way too strong...

whereas KKR is like BD.... if the bowling clicks then its their day...

[simon]

gesey re ekta.
Ojha was looking dangerous

[simon]

why not giving it to Narine,he is the wckt taker.

[TigerEz]

shak in

[Maysun]

Good over from Shakib

[kalpurush]

Good over from Shakib.

[Habib]

Very good over from Shakib :applause:

[Equinox]

Good comeback from Shak. Hope he gets at least one more wicket in his last over.

[Bonglababu]

This could be a tricky over. Rao and mahela can't afford to depend on singles and two's now. asking rate is near 10

[Banglatiger84]

very important wicket !

[Equinox]

Lol McCullum nearly messed that up.

[kalpurush]

KKR in final!

[Bonglababu]

yay :fire:
Abdulla did the job for KKR

[Tiger444]

So are DD running away with it now? :lol:

[Bonglababu]

But Ross Taylor have good shots in his bat. who is coming next?

[Maysun]

Where the hell is Taylor?

[fush_montor]

good thinking by Double-G..holding back narine for later overs..let the RRR climb & batsmen will mess it up themselves
<br />Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Opera Mobile)

[kalpurush]

^^^ DD messed up here not sending Taylor!

[Bonglababu]

Interesting to send Negi at this stage. If he does a "shukla" now, the boot can well be in the other's foot.

[TigerEz]

shakib is getting raped

[Equinox]

Oh great now a tailender is smashing Shakib.

[Bonglababu]

hmm... did I really jinx it?

[Habib]

shakib is getting raped

Every bowler gets raped once in a while. Pun intended.

[Maysun]

Decent over from Shakib

[Tiger444]

That was a good over from Shakib

[Equinox]

Hmm a poor performance from Shakib on the whole. Don't think he'll play in the final unless KKR don't want to break the winning combination.

[fush_montor]

Decent over from Shakib

decent? he did gave away eight runs..
<br />Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Opera Mobile)

Also Balaji's injury might work against Shakib. KKR might have to play Lee in his place.

[Tiger444]

Poor? He picked up the wicket of Warner. I agree it wasn't a great performance but I wouldn't say he played poorly.

[simon]

getting tight guys.
So if KKR are through would Sak be in the next match.
Well, why would they change the winning combo.

[TigerEz]

shakib worst day in history

[Equinox]

Poor? He picked up the wicket of Warner. I agree it wasn't a great performance but I wouldn't say he played poorly.
DD are going at a RR of 7 and Shakib conceded 9/over and his wicket was a lucky one. Not to mention he scored 1(3) batting at number 4. I'd call it poor.

[Tiger444]

DD are going at a RR of 7 and Shakib conceded 9/over and his wicket was a lucky one. Not to mention he scored 1 batting at number 4. I'd call it poor.

Ya and if he didn't get Warner? Plus he bowled in the PP overs. Your bound to get hit sometimes in the PP overs

[Bonglababu]

Yes, Kallis gets Rao caught at mid off. Things are swinging towards KKR now.

[Habib]

In the end, 162 will just prove too much.

[Equinox]

Ya and if he didn't get Warner? Plus he bowled in the PP overs. Your bound to get hit sometimes in the PP overs
Well umpires won't repeat mistakes like that. Warner was blatantly not out. Bowling in the PP still doesn't justify conceding 11.50 runs/over. His job is to keep things tight in the PP and if he isn't doing that and not contributing with the bat then you'd have to say it's a poor day for him.

[fush_montor]

don't think DD can pass through narine..congratz KKR

Why does he have to put an extraordinary performance each match?? everyone has their off days.. name it.. Gambhir to Kallis to even Narine (at the beginning) .. if they don't pick Shakib based on this performance then it's fine .. we know no matter how poorly Kallis/ Cullum plays it will be always Shakib who will be left out for a single mistake !!!

I sort of agree, for Sak's standard it has been overall a poor performance.
But still these things happen, Sak should play in the next match if KKR win.I hope.

Did not say Shakib has to put in an extraordinary performance every time he plays and he can't have off days. Just pointed out that this was one of his off days. And would not be surprised if KKR drop him for the next match.

[Equinox]

So KKR are in the finals. Hope Shakib plays. But if I had to bet, I'd bet against it.

[simon]

although Sak had a poor day but looks like KKR are winning it comfortably at the end, so it would be silly to drop a player like Sakib who just won the previous match for KKR

[TigerEz]

aite c ya ..

Congrats to KKR for going to the finals. I'm glad Gambhir finally realized that having Shakib, Narine, and Abdullah will win you matches.

[Naimul_Hd]

Knowing Gauti and his superstitions, i am pretty sure he will play with the same team :)

[oronnya]

Good to see Shakib smiling !! No matter whether they pick him for the last match or not he can hold his head high !! He had some very good performances !!

[simon]

good win.

Now that Sakib played 3 back to back matches & all three KKR won, I believe KKR won't risk dropping Sak and bring someone else for the Final.

[kalpurush]

Knowing Gauti and his superstitions, i am pretty sure he will play with the same team :)

He will play not because he has done exceptionally well rather because Chennai Pitch might be a good track for spinners! and which captain will drop someone who was in a winning team that helped towards Kolkatta's Cause to reach Finals?

Gambhir has lost Faith in Brett Lee!!!!

Chennai has been on fire in the playoffs. Is that surprising to anyone? Definitely the most clutch team in the IPL.

[zinatf]

Sehwag/Warner has to fire up from the beginning if DD wants to battle it out with KKR on the 27th!

[MohammedC]

They are playing with no pressure since they were given second chance because of RCB's loss.

[zinatf]

DD to score 223 off 20 overs if they want to play in the finals!!!

Vijay run out last ball. Dhoni's team will eat GG's team on Sunday

[zinatf]

Shakib thakle ar bhalo korlei cholbe!

[Maysun]

Really poor stuff with DD, dropping Morkel for the decisive match. And the reason they gave on air was, Since Irfan is injured, we wanted another all rounder, hence we picked Russell and dropped Morkel and got in another Indian.

[oronnya]

Vijay run out last ball. Dhoni's team will eat GG's team on Sunday

Yes because GG's team made some tactical error.. They should've bagged some of the best Indian batsmen instead of the overseas players.. because most of the overseas players can't handle the spin on a slow track.. Look at CSK's line up Vijay, Raina, Dhoni - all are solid batsman and hard hitter.. on the contrary KKR has only 1 attacking batsman in Gambhir.. Had they gone for some good Indian batsmen they would have option to use the world class bowlers like Narine, Shakib, Lee/De Lagne more regularly.. batting is an issue for KKR ..

:facepalm: That was his reasoning? Then why not drop Taylor? He's been poor this IPL. Why would you ever drop Morkel especially when he's been the top wicket taker? Guess this is why Sehwag should never be captain.

The only spinner who got hit as bad was Sunny Gupta , a guy who was playing his debut IPL match.

So I dont think that the pitch is not helping the spinners. Infact , Ashwin bowled brilliantly. I hope they pick Shakib , otherwise it would be totally KKR's loss and might cost them the title. And lol after watching the horrible Morne Morkel experiment today by DD , I am quite confident that they wouldn't repeat a similar mistake !

KKR Line UP Against Chennai Should be!

1) Gautam Ghambhir
2) Jaques Kallis
3) Manoj Tiwary
4) Shakib Al Hasan
5) Yusuf Panthan
6) Laxmi Shukla
7) Manvinder Bisla
8) Rajat Bhatia
9) Brett Lee
10) Sunil Narine
11) Lakshmipathy Balaji

if injured then Jaydev Unadkat!!!

I dont think bisla will play ahead of mc.. Mc, kallis, Narine kkr Wii stick with these 3 os players... depending on balaji is fit or not they will pick shak or a fast bowler...

actually thats how we normal humen think..but our thinking isnt equivalent with KKR..look this is how KKR thinks

Balaji not available=need fast bowler=play lee

look at other qualifier in this stadium=SLAs going for run=shakib gave 36 in 4 overs=Drop shakib

KKR pays tribute to the great apes like this!

kotha shoitto :(

But TBH Cullum and Kallis might cost them the game as their SR is not suitable for T20.. Bisla is a much better choice for an openner.. Also Tendo can do a much better job than Kaliis in batting and he gives the bowling option as well.. My team would be

1. Gambhir
2. Bisla
3. Tendo
4. Shakib
5. YP
6. Das
7. Shukla
8. Lee (if Balaji is injured)
9. Bhatia
10.Abdullah
11.Narine

but we all know that's not happening :( .. If Balaji can't make it then Shakib will have to sit out to make a way for Lee..:facepalm:

[Ajfar]

Perfect solution to this problem is to drop McCullum. He is not making any useful contribution. 40 ball 30s don't really count. Bisla can't possibly do worse than him.

[zinatf]

^I doubt KKR would drop McCullum.....

[Maysun]

Atleast McCullum is scoring the runs even if it means a 90 SR. If they drop him, they will find it difficult to cross 120.

I think then the solution is not necessarily an allrounder but rather opposable thumbs as the first step for KKR
