Anyone watch this?

I find it incredible just how popular it is India and how much of a fan fair is made about it. Watched some of it yesterday and watching it again today and it's brilliant.

Oh and Mandira Bedi isn't too bad.

ROFL!

Malinga opens the bowling, and Agarwal is out first ball for Mumbai. That was brilliant.

Was rooting for Mumbai last year. Having watched every single game so far, think I'm going for Pune, haven't made a decision yet.

Been watching the games whilst at work...rooting for KKR and Mumbai myself...hopefully either one will win it this yr.

Amazing century by Valthaty today! What a knock!

120* (63) 19 x 4s, 2 x 6s

Brilliant stuff

Amazing knock by Paul Valthaty, thought the CSK's had done enough! Great match!

Considering he's only ever played 1 OD game, and never played a First Class game in his life :eek:

Tendulkar on 99 with 1 ball to go...

TheCenturion · 15 Apr 2011 at 17:03

And he's hit his first ever ipl 100. WHAT A PLAYA!!!

TheCenturion · 15 Apr 2011 at 18:50

19 needed from 12 balls :eek:

Great finish to an excellent game. 2 sixes, what's it with everyone copying Dhoni lately

I think Jadeja is trying to get back into the India team. He really deserves it imo, especially if his bowlings can improvings

Who would he replace though?

Could be the 2nd spinner if Ashwin isn't available. He would need to be better than chawla, and he's not as good a spinner as ojha, but he can bat too.

But then again, do you really need a number 8 you can bat when before him you've got Sehwag, Tendulkar, Gambhir, Kohli, Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni ?

I see your point, the way the team is structured at the moment, unless his batting or bowling suddenly becomes exceptional, then there's no place for him.

Caffrey · 15 Apr 2011 at 19:19

Well I don't see him getting back in unless he does something ridiculously good with the bat and/or ball. *cough T20 WC cough*

Upcoming WC or previous WC?

Caffrey · 15 Apr 2011 at 19:26

Oh. Well I meant the previous one where he could barely hit the ball

TheCenturion · 15 Apr 2011 at 19:28

He's matured a lot since last year. Not only that, but in the last couple of T20 WCs, the whole Indian team has struggled.

Btw, I'm using the black forum theme, and your sig looks amazing with it
