What abt the slog overs bowled by Gul and Dinda?

They bowled with amazing line and length & restricted KXI to 174, else it would have been 190 easily.

Dada was in good nick throughout his innings hitting 4's and 6's in between, but there was no support from the other end, and once Gul gave him some hit support, there was no stopping for Dada!

Ganguly was looking lost until gul came out & blasted those 2 sixes.

KXI is the second worst when it comes to fair play on field in IPL. Now this off field: Punjab police move complaint against Ness Wadia*-*News*-*News*-*Times of India Cricket - IPL

Is Ness going his dad's way? After Sreesanth, its time Mr Ness get it

All respect to Umar Gul, but guys its unfair not to give the credit to Dada. Even in IPL , 1-2 sixes can't win you match.. they can surely help. It takes the innings like this one from Dada (from first bowl to last) to be able to turn a match in just 18 ***** ... all the bih hits of umar gul and other would have gone in vein if dada was not able to assess the situation and go with a positive approach.
In my view, Dada once again showed his mental strength and ability.. This becomes more significant in the view of Dravid's recent statemenet where he blamed his age for not perfroming in T20. I hope selectors are watching and will be able to realize his potential when discussing how fit is he for ODIs..

It seems Sreeshant has got over from Bhajji's hot slap, in y'days match he was back to his taunting antics on the batsman esp when they were out by Sree...!

Some kids will never learn!

Also Yuvi kicks the ball after catching it. Where is respect for the game and its equipments?

sheeesh. I know you are trying to circumvent the Ball$$ thingy, right ? What else diabloo ?

Warne win says that RR will bowl

In their last encounter, Shaun Pollock inspired MI to beat RR. RR were routed for 103 and MI chased down the target with 4.5 overs to spare.

Sachin Tendulkar did not play that game. He is playing today. Will that affect the result?

Finally, the duel is between Sachin v Warne (1st time since 2004) - only if the little master doesn't get any ball that keep slow

I was supporting KKR today just coz I hate UVSing (I don't really know why, but the sight of that guy makes me wanna give him a tight slap - weird, i know). Long Live Gang-GuLee !!! On a side note, I've not supported the Knight Riders too just coz The team is owned by Shrok-Khan though I have a lot of regard for Dada. It's good to see him whack the ball. Just goes to show he's got more gusto than a certain Sachin T.

My favorites if I'd chose any for this IPL are Chennai SK's .Yus U Word Yit Ra-Eat. YUM YES Doni. Yee Does Yave Da Bats Yun BOwls.
(Translate: Yes U heard it right, MS Dhoni. He does have the bats n B**Ls)

Hope Mumbai Indians win today, Warne's put up a great team though !!!

MI are Exiting the way they Entered !!!

Job is half done for DD

Sohail Tanvir gets the Purple cap !!

karanraheja · 26th May 2008, 21:46

MI 145 /7 in 20. Thanks to Takawale MI crossed 130. RR are playing without
Smith today so lets see if they could pull this one off.

Eddy · 26th May 2008, 21:49

Darn... this last over might spoil Delhi's party. Hope RR are able to pull this off.
Go Watson go..........

Arre... we are watching it live on TV

danlalan · 26th May 2008, 21:57

Its a low score. But it looks like its going to be harder for the Royals to defend such a score. 1six in the entire innings. Looks like Takawale should have come in 1down.

My guess on this.

MUMBAI INDIANS WIN THIS ONE.
