Stop teasing me

Or has he? Any player faced 45 balls would be atleast in the 60s if not 70s. MI was robbed of atleast 20 runs by Tendulkar.

They might have been bowled out without Tendulkar. It's been a great innings.

"A City Moment of Success"

Good Run-Out from Oram there, I have him in my fantasy team does that count for any Points?

Singh makes his cameo appearance and bows out. I disagree it was a great innings. It was an ok innings. Nothing great.

 

[Don Bradman]

Pinal Shah is relative of Ambanis? He was **** last yea.r Takawale was much better. and his batting is so uninspiringly dire that he's demoted to No.9 (or even worse here)

I don't think anyone thinks it has been a great innings, like you said it's been alright and it's what the team needed.

They will be thankful they had wickets in hand to go for a late flourish.

Cracking shot to finish this off.

Reckon it'll be a nice chase on tonight.

He did.

Good score nevertheless. Had Tendulkar been a bit more adventurous, MI would have crossed into safe territtory with 180+ runs.

And if my aunt had bollocks....

Or all out for 140.

 

[Howsie]

Should be a good run chase, but I think the CSK should chase this down.

Hayden, Dhoni, Oram, Raina, Flintoff. That batting line-up is really good.

 

[duffer]

Instead of pointing the finger at Tendulkar look at the contribution from Duminy and Bravo as to why they couldn't get more.

166 is a good score considering they were put in on a deck that was seaming and bouncing.

 

[masterblaster]

I thought it was an awesome innings by Tendulkar. Without his contribution, Mumbai would've been bowled out pretty cheaply. Tendulkar was the glue that held this batting line up together so it was a most valuable innings.

I'm supporting Mumbai in this game. Lets hope they can do better this year.

Dumny and Bravo were constipated by the lack of momentum at the other end and had to go for risky shots which didn t pay off. Every batsman needs time to settle in. Tendulkar took time to settle for a good ODI knock, not a T20 knock. I think his slowness will mark the difference today.

 

[ret]

MI end up with 166 .... thanks to Nayar going on fire!

I thought that 170 would be a competitive when MI were batting. MI have a decent total on board, Chennai will have to bat well. MI will be looking to get Chennai into 50/3 kind of situation as Chennai have a good batting line up

Haha, what's your next username going to be champ?

 

[masterblaster]

Haha, what's your next username going to be champ?

I didn't even realise that! But it seems obvious that it could be Precambrian now that you mention it.

 

[silentstriker]

Hayden is on - maybe they should bring Harbhajan on first over.

 

[duffer]

Goneski! Nice catch by Sachin.
