PS3: Arjwiz's live commentary thread

[RIZZYX]

Regarding the fielding, I am much much more relaxed than some of the top guys.

But if custom fielding is a problem, then I am more then happy to go by no custom field sets if thats what the majority want.

 

[arjwiz]

Two wickets off two no balls. MI 61/7.


Zaheer Khan out LBW off a loose shot. MI now 61/8

@RIZZYX i think if u are good enough to set a field and bowl to it good on u i think u shiukd be aloud to set your custom field settings just what i think it will be a good challenge to stay alive

66/8 after 14

----------

71/8 after Russel's over. 15 gone.

----------

Quicker one by Shakib has Ojha bowled! Malinga out to bat next. 71/9

----------

74/9 after 16

----------

And Malinga is out, clean bowled! That's the innings, Mumbai all out for 74. Tare remains not out at 26. Mumbai will be happy with this total after being 21/7 (but not 61/7).

Malinga to bowl.

----------

Gautam Gambhir out run out, first ball! 0/1 Kolkatta.

 

[RIZZYX]

Ghambir second golden duck of the league//

 

[arjwiz]

Ooh, edged but falls short.

----------

Malinga bowling at 158.5kmph. MI having some trouble editing their field. They can't find a mid on and mid off!

 

[RIZZYX]

Good start by Malinga, might not be an easy chase.

 

[arjwiz]

Quicker one by Zaheer and Utthapa is out, caught at mid on. Shakib out at 10/2

 

[RIZZYX]

Game on

----------

Shakib done by a slower ball.

 

[arjwiz]

And Malinga gets Shakib out bowled off a slower one. Batsman missed the line completely. That's 18/3 after 3

----------

The MI captain apologises to the opposition captain for taking so long before deliveries. He says he doesn't have any stored field sets, especially for powerplays.

----------

23/3 from 4.

 

[RIZZYX]

This is why I like chasing, less pressure with low score to get things moving quick.

 

[arjwiz]

Oooh another nick that falls just short. 32/3 after 5 overs.

 

[RIZZYX]

Tidy over by Ojha, 2 from it/

 

[arjwiz]

Just a couple off Ojha's over. 36/3 after 6. Powerplay restrictions lifted now.

----------

Pollard gets a wicket . Caught at mid off. Yusuf Pathan out to bat. KKR 41/4 after 7.

 

[RIZZYX]

Another slower ball wicket.

Pollard cranking it up to almost 90mph
