IPL 1st Match: Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians

[King Pietersen]

Sunil Gavaskar just made a very good point. Sachin's not had anyone with him that's fired and allowed him to feed off their strokeplay, and has basically had to do everything himself. Been a good innings from Tendulkar, you can't argue with 48 off 43, especially on a wicket like this.

Tendulkar is playing a good anchor role. It's not a great pitch and the guys at the other end should be taking the risks.

Flintoff needs to be used more earlier with 1 or 2 for the death. If you pay 1.5 mil for a bowler you better hope they take wickets. Leaking runs a bit to be honest.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Tendulkar has an average of 39.36. That's pretty good for this format of the game.

 

[King Pietersen]

Oof, take that Fred. Nayar should have been put in earlier, great shot that. First DFL Maximum of the IPL. Lovely stroke.

 

[Neo95]

Nayar is trying to accelerate.Go Nayar!

 

[King Pietersen]

Nayar is a beast. 2nd six of the over against one of the best Death bowlers in world cricket. Quality stuff.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Who is this bloke? He can hit it a long way.

 

[King Pietersen]

Woah, 3rd Six of the over. Still 1 ball left in the over, that was a top edge as well, if he gets one out of the middle it'll go miles. Awesome over for Mumbai.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Go Freddie, fetch that

 

[piriyanth]

Flintoff is getting OWNED.

Freddie is throwing pies here.
Nayar was sensational in that over.What power!!!

 

[irottev]

LOL at Flintoff being hammered by an Indian random who is in totally new and bad batting conditions.

He's so over-rated. Even the commentators going on about him before the game made me sick. Oram is a much better player then him and he got 1/3rd of the money Flintoff got. Stupid! He's not who he was a few years ago in the Ashes.

 

[naresh091]

Whoa Nayar's gone.Great bowling Oram.

 

[King Pietersen]

Nayar gone, good slower ball from Oram. Time for Tendulkar to play the big hitting role now.

 

[deerkick]

Go go nayar!!!
