15th Match, Group B - Mumbai v Royal Challengers Bangalore @ Durban

[Ollie_H]

How often you see some orthodox cricketing shots in T20 cricket?

Umm.. all the time?

Oh you jealous kid. Sad that English team is not playing to get out like they did last time

This has completely shown that a team spirit and players that constantly play together are a whole load better than a team full of mercenaries re-jigged every so often and playing together for all of 6 weeks.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

True enough but I think that's what happen in every countries domestic T20 competition.

Afridi,Gayle,Vettore,Taylor all play for Australian Domestic so obviously they too mix up.

Also it's just that IPL has been over hyped and stuff but one has to agree that it's a Domestic Competetion of India just each country have.

But they do not have it this hyped

 

[Pranav]

I have a feeling Mumbai can win this, but they'll have to play sensibly to do so.

Hey you, its not the intension of playing English teams. Its the intension to see IPL teams losing!

Like how we pray for Pakistan/Australia to lose against some other team:laugh.

 

[Brook]

One thing is for certain; Kohli would never play this innings for India

 

[Prithvi]

Absolute garbage in the last ball!

 

[LongLegs?]

Dang, gotta feel for Kohli. Gem of an innings there. Dravid failing to hit out at the end might've cost RCB somewhat too.

I really don't understand the point of having Akhil in the team though. I mean, if you're not going to bowl him, you might as well play Pandey, who is a much better batsman.

Mumbai are knocked out though, due to Kohli's innings. RCB vs Lions is gonna be a quarterfinal, with the winner making the semis.

 

[Gaurav_7]

RS says to Sachin 'You can still make to the semis' I'm damn confused. Any new theory?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Mumbai Won... Now Time For Royal to Win Against the Lions..

 

[LongLegs?]

RS says to Sachin 'You can still make to the semis' I'm damn confused. Any new theory?

RS has no idea what he's talking about. Pretty much impossible for Mumbai to make the semis right now.

 

[Cricketman]

Poor Virat. Where's this kind of strokeplay when he plays for India though?

Dravid was great too. Still knocking on the ODI doors.

 

[aussie1st]

Too little too late as they would say. Once again looks like RCB will start the tournament well but fall when it comes to the business end.

 

[Prithvi]

This is my all time favorite T20 match, as said earlier!
The RD's inning is a highlight:hpraise.
If the required rate would have been somewhere around 7-9, Dravid could have finished the game off with his orthodox cricket!
My tribute:

 

[surendar]

Well play MI. Finally, they got in touch with cricket which was lacking in the first two games. Damn, they should have played Sharks first & Lions later. Saurabh's last few knocks along with Bravo was treatful to watch.

Bye bye Mumbai Indians, you have finished this journey on a high side.:hpraise

Agree, though Mumbai couldn't make it through, still they have left an great impression of themselves. I'm happy that they performed.
