IPL 1st Match: Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians

[Leggie]

Sachins playing nice Test Match Cricket.

 

[Jaztheman]

They haven't accelerated much yet, and look like they aren't going to just yet. Prediction time: Tendulkar out in 30's, Dhawan out in 10's.

Here's hoping.

Why is there a 7 minute break Shravi?

Money-making scheme.

Cricinfo - IPL games to take 15 minutes more

 

[Leggie]

Booo. This is boring. C'mon Sachin, show us your shots

Probably would have been better if Chennai batted first with all their power hitters.

 

[King Pietersen]

The 7 minute break actually shortens games by 15 minutes. Last year over-rates were awfully slow, so now they've got a proper break and told to increase over rates or face strict punishments!

 

[Leggie]

Only 8 boundaries inside the first 10 overs of a T20. That is epic fail.

 

[deerkick]

They should've started with Kolkata IMO. Gayle and Mccullum would've surely drawn crowds.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Ahh, 10 minute break for a dog. And now a 7 1/2 minute break for ads. :o

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

What a boring match

 

[manee]

Dogs are idiots - that is all.

 

[Leggie]

C'mon Sachin. Prove us wrong

 

[Themer]

Been a bit of a boring start to the IPL this year, no big shots of any note, no real spells of great bowling.

 

[Pranav]

Lol at the dog.

I think Sachin should bat through the innings and a score of 150 will be good for us. Then Zaheer can take care of the rest.

That's what they want you to think. It's just 7 minutes for sponsors to make merry.
