Mumbai Bat
Kolkata Stumble
Watch cricket highlights – Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians – from IPL 2009 played on April 27, 2009.
Scoreline: Mumbai 187/6 – Sachin Tendulkar 68 (45), Sanath Jayasuriya 52 (32)
The Sachin-Sanath show finally underway for the first time in the IPL (including Season 1). Luckily this season, Tendulkar looks to be considering attack from both ends unlike last season when he opted to push a single and give Jayasuriya the strike. Mumbai like other teams have done this IPL however fell away after getting to 110 in the first 10 overs.
The Kolkata chase appeared to be going somewhere briefly when Ganguly came out with a flurry of boundaries but some smart bowling by Harbhajan, Nayar, Zaheer and Tendulkar made things desperate to set up the Malinga exitlude.
SRK didn’t seem to bothered about the loss post-match – he was busy waving to his fans and possibly looking at his IPL venture as a neat PR exercise. Wonder what Buchanan will do tonight – probably sing KKR a lullaby-verse from the Art of War.
Pregame: KKR got a point from the washed out game vs Chennai after their Super loss to the Royals. The most interesting moments of this game however (apart from Sachin-Sanath walking out together) will probably be Malinga with his rediscovered yorkers vs Gayle and McCullum.
Guys who like KKR. You know what I think? They need a different sponsor. SRK is just involved too much with KKR’s cricketing elements. SRK has probably never held a cricket bat in his hand, yet he still makes cricketing decisions. And I think it is about time to get rid of McCullum as a captain. KKR’s new captain should be CG. He is a man with temperament and the right attitude. BH needs to be replace by MM (Mashrafe Mortaza). KKR does not need a coach either. What do you guys think?
Same with RR. They need a different strategy. SW is a good captain, but KK is not enough for their bowling attack. And what’s up with bollywood stars being sponsor? We need sponsors like Ambani’s and Tata’s. They would not be paranoid, and not freak out. They would actually let players play their natural games.
About my remarks….HIT ME and HIT ME HARD… I like a good discussion about good cricketing.
One Last Thing…
I think Indian Team should include Sachin Tendulkar in their batting squad…Just in case if GG and VS keeps playing like the way the are for DD….Sachin would be an amazing replacement and also and excellent advisory for the team.
What do you guys think?
I was talking about T20 World Cup.
Joy to watch these guys play. The shots are crisp, clean hits. Pity the bowlers. For all of Lalit Modi’s various annoyances, he is staging one helluva show and making money for everyone involved. Gotta luv that, especially in this economy.
I’m a KKR Fan but I like DADA more than KKR. Glad that he is scoring runs; don’t even care if KKR if losing or winning….
Sachin Tendulkar = God!
Go Mumbai Indians!
What’s the point in supporting in supporting a player but not a team. If Ganguly scores 100, but India loses, what’s the point of the century???
Mumbai Indians is lookin very good and a strong contender for IPL-2 champions with Sachin and Sanath making most of it and I really admire Malinga. The way he picked up after coming from injury. He is the man for wickets and for run stopper it is Zaheer and Harbhajan.
Regarding KKR it now time to give Gayle captainship.. I think McCullum was inexperienced guy. He is not a regular captain also. Gayle is WI captain. He knows wht to do. I guess takin 2 hardhitter in world cricket from different team in a mistake. But Gilly n Gibbs r goin well.KKR is too dependent on these 2 openers. There other batsman except Ganguly not doin well. Some youngstar has to take the responsibility to play well like in RR, DC or KP. They should have taken one regular member frm team India like Raina or Rohit or Gauti in batting area.
Go Jayasoooriya…
Go Mumbai Indians….
HEY ! GUYS QUIT TALKIN ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU CANT HANDLE, KEEP YOUR VIEWS TO YOURSELF, IT WONT CHANGE ANYTHING ABIT. BOTTOM LINE IS KKR WITH 54 PLAYERS IS A LOSER TEAM AND GANGULY IS A D**K BECAUSE 2 BALLS 2 RUNS, ANY DECENT PLAYER CAN GET AND ESPECIALLY AGAINST A TENNIS BALL PLAYER, AND GANGULAY CANT DO IT. KOLKOTTA PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SUCKING ON SAURAV’S D**K, HE IS A OLD MOTHER F**KER WHO IS GOOD FOR NUTHIN. KKR SUCKS, SRK IS A F**KIN GAY(I WONDER WHERE HIS PARTNER KARAN IS).. FOR KOLKOTTA TO BE A NICE TEAM AGAIN RICKY PONTING, HUSSEY, SHOAIB SHOULD BE IN AND PLAYERS LIKE MC CALLUM, SAURAV SHOULD BE THROWN OUT. GO F**K YOURSELF IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH ME.
Sanath,Sachin,Malinga & Harbajan r really good. I think Mumbai Indians can win this game… All the Best Mumbai Indians!!!!!
hi mr bad ass mother f**ker saale haramkhor la*de ke baal saale tere g*nd mein agar aag lagi hai to jaa kisi gande n***o se g*nd marwa le bhosdi ke g*nd mein dum nahi hum kisi se kum nahi,madhar ch*d sale apni maa ki ch*t se paida liya tha ki apne baap ke g*nd se saale zindagi mein pehle khud kuchh kar ke dikha phir kisi khiladi ke baare mein kuchh likhiyo izzat karna sikh le badtameez
Chandragupta,
Why do you even bother speaking with someone who has that kind of a mouth? Don’t pay any attention to losers like that. This was a cricketing discussion and IAABAMF had to start using foul language to express himself. This shows that he does not even have the personality of one of Ganguly’s pubic hair.
i think srk should stop in dressing room matters of Knight riders its a good time to be frank strong team SRK please play them their own innings STOP INVOLVING IN GAME F**KER
ChandraGupta Teri amma ki ga*n ku kutte choodon , maa ke la*de.. teri bhenko choodon. Kutte ki awalaad, bhadvikey.. teri maa ka bhosda, teri jaat ko chodon.. teri gaa*d mein la*da, saale..
