[Andrin Issac]

much needed win for us Mumbai bowlers has done a great job to restrict us from scoring a big total
suberb bowling from their bowling section especially kallis and warn

Our Legends Hobbs and kallis were once again proved that they are the best in the Tuskers Squad
their fourth wicket partneship has helped us to score 260+

they had a little hard luck..and they have nt scored century and half centry respectively
but they played well for the team..

Tuskers bowlers were also done outstanding performance.. they were very economical and more balanced.. especially Jayasuriya...
Gayle was not good at the batting in this match but stared later in bowling..we are expecting more from him and thisara too

[HASHTAG]#KochiTuskers[/HASHTAG] we always play2win

Can we have overall team and individual rankings at the end of the league rounds @SixerBoy11 ? I'm sure we have improved immensely.

 

[_Sam_]

Absoloutely brilliant performance there from us, very convincing. Voges started to make it look like our opening spot was not still cursed but unfortunately he fell and it appears it's still true . Someones gotta succeed there some time! In the mean time now we're in a strong position it may be time to start rotating our bowlers a bit, going to be hard considering how well they've performed!

[Pinch hitter]

Another Good win for [HASHTAG]#kochituskers[/HASHTAG] Sir Jack Hobbs again involve in important partnership which save us and get us 2 points... We didn't made any mistake by choosing Sanath Jayasuriya in Bid... He is wonderful for us, He not only scoring runs, but also restricting runs by bowling good line and length... We not surprised, when we got all-out... MI had good bowling combination of spin and pace, which is main reason why our batsman struggle to stay at middle... Pitch is doing well for spinners and good to see our par time bowler Gayle complete his 10 overs... in mean time not having to see Steyn and Imran Tahir bowl more overs is disappointing... overall we did great job against MI, with this 2 points our believe getting stronger...

@arun_8 I suggest you only partly reveal the ongoing things in the league for the non-members of the league to be interested. For the current thread title you will want to write say 'Sir Viv Richards and Wasim Akram storms the league' or somewhat like that.

Difficult to see our team losing... But Dolphins played better than us...

Spoiler: Rd 1 - 10 Points

well played DDs

our bowling section was too expensive and we were struggled to get the first wicket We are very happy to see Tahir's bowling DD batsmen has done a great job and they have scored such a big total of 320+. Chasing 300+ in 50 overs in impossible but its a difficult task and we have fought well and scored 300+...

this is only our first match More to Come and we will bounce back surely

Nathan Coulter-Nile is a dark horse of #kochituskers

Spoiler: Rd 3 - 15 Points

#kochituskers celebrate more than a win today... Sir Jack Hobbs scored 1st half century for us and we believe there lot more good innings still to come from Him... Sanath Jayasuriya is more valuable player for us, Including him in Tuskers, gave us more flexibility in bowlers selection... We don't need to mention special words for a Legend like Wasim Akram... He is a Leader of our Bowling Department... Openers from any opposite team will struggle when they face Wasim Akram & Dale Steyn 'The Duo Bowling Phenom'...

Spoiler: Rd 3 - 15 Points

wow.. fabulous win over the chennai

by this win we came at the top of the table
happy to see our legend players came to good form especially jayasuriya's innings... he is an impossible mahnn
he came good at bowling and batting.. and also hobbs' innings ...
we are so happy... by this win ... our hope and strength increased a lot.. we gained more stability and substainabilty so that we will .. we can win the cup

Spoiler: Rd 4 - 15 Points

what a loss all batsmen failed except the legend player Jack Hobbs ..
170 is not enough to defend in that bowling pitch..
if we have score 240-260 our bowlers might have defend it
this loss never reduces our confident and strength we will bounce back surely..

we are so happy to see that Jack Hobbs is continuing his good touch

only four of our players reached a 2 digit number KKR will be so happy that their legend player Garry Sobbers came to good form.. KKR's 3 rd and 4th wicket partnership brought the damage for us

we will come back in the next game with a win Well played #KKR

Spoiler: Rd 4 - 10 Points

Poor batting from us... Our Top 3 failed miserably... But thanks to Sir we manage respective total, but it all ways a small total for kkr batting strength... It ok... We still have 4 more games to set us on play-off... Hope we do better in 2ns half of this season...

Spoiler: Rd 5 - 15 Points

It is bowlers day in SCG... Bowlers dominated in both innings, but #kochituskers had few extra batsman which save match for us... Chris Gayle's half century helped us lot in chasing a small total against world class bowling attack... You rarely see Gayle plays 100 balls but his strike rate around 50, that will tell you how difficult to bat on today's pitch... Thisara Perera utilize his chance very well, he picked up 2 important wickets of steven and dhoni... there is no word to describe leading wicket taker of this season Wasim Akram... Taking 5 wickets against last season finalist, gave us very important 2 points... At this stage we can say, we did good job, but still 3 more matches to go and we don't want to spoil our chances... may be it is my last season with KTK, so i need to achieve big with this team...

Spoiler: Rd 5 - 10 Points

much needed win for us s our bowlers did a fgreat job to restrict them
to such a low score

well done wasim .. he took a 5 wicket hold and he is now became the leading wicket taker of the league

it was sucha easy task for us to chase the score.. but the ss bowlers fought well..

and our batting wall chris gayle took all the responsibilities of the chasing and he has played a smart cricket..

its a team work
because,
we always play to win

2. Deccan Chargers - 105 Points

Spoiler: Rd 1 - 20 points

Season II is here and all the teams look to start of good way. Deccan Chargers playing their first match
against the Chelsea Cricket Club in their homeground, this will be one of the advantage for Deccan to
pull off a win.

Deccan Chargers - securing seventh place in season out of ten. Deccan Chargers had a poor inaugural season
the will look to change their fortunes this season. they have a good bowling line-up. but they lacks in batting.
even though the batting is with stars like Sachin, Lara, Warner, Sangakkara. those four have to play a crucial
roles in their matches. if all of them fail. you can expect the end of their batting is near. their bowling starts with
speedsters Johnson, Boult, Irfan and spin department is controlled by Muralitharan, Mishra and Yadav

Players Bought in Season II - Luke Wright, Albie Morkel, Mohammad Irfan, Kuldeep Yadav, Ben Cutting, Muttiah Muralitharan
Key Players - Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Mitchell Johnson, Trent Boult

Chelsea Cricket Club - missing out play-offs by just two points. they will try to start this on a positive note, forgetting
the past. their batting starts Vivian Richards and ends with Vivian Richards only. other players might no make a big
impact in this tournament. they have good bowling options, they have four spinners namely, Mushtaq, Panesar, Ashwin and Badree.
Hope they continue their form of last season

Players Bough in Season II - George Bailey, Lance Klusener, Dwayne Bravo, Saqlain Mushtaq, Samuel Badree, Kyle Abott
Key Player - Vivian Richards, Lance Klusener, Saqlain Mushtaq

Wining ODDS
Deccan Chargers - 55%
Chelsea Cricket Club - 45%

Spoiler: Rd 1 - 20 points

Brilliant effort by our bowlers, especially at the last few overs, where we won it from a losing position. Tough luck Chelsea, some times few days are not quite ours, and I'm sorry that you had lost from a winning position. Nevertheless, well played. It was a good game of cricket overall. Sad to see Kevin not performing at #3 for us. We will have to talk with him regarding this before we take a decision.

As my co said, home win is always special. The fireworks which go up after the game, and the sparkles which go into the crowd, the crowd totally takes in All the crowd cheers for us and with the DJ in the stadium guiding, the crowd can give tremendous support to the home side.

On behalf of DC management, I would like to thank all fans for turning up at the match. We hope the crowd liked the hospitality provided by us, and the open request for all the fans is please feel free to approach the "May I Help You" guys and the Cops if they have any issues from our side. Also if the fans have something to suggest us, they can send a text via WhatsApp to the number provided on the tickets, with their ticket number mentioned along with the suggestion.

After losing the match from a winning position, Deccan Chargers will look get back to winning form
at home. on the other side, Dynamos will look to continue their form, two wins in three matches

Deccan Chargers - Deccan Chargers biggest concern is their batting. it looked good on paper, but
there no much of contribution from other players. the fact that Sachin and Lara scoring 187 for them
and others scoring just 56. this shows the standards of their batting line-up. they will look to get it right
their bowling is dependent on big three Boult, Johnson and Muralitharan

Key Players - Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Trent Boult




Dynamo - winning two in their three matches, Dynamos are confident of pulling this one too.
batting led by the legendary Bradman and Hayden. they have other talented players like Rahane, Du Plessis.
Jayawardene, Clarke. but their team has no big star player who can make a big impact in the game
this team in form at the moment, they will try to give them whole 100%

Key Players - Donald Bradman, Michel Clarke, Faf Du Plessis, Matthew Hayden




Watch-Out :

Key Players - Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Trent Boult




Chennai Super Kings - after losing all the games they've played this season. Chennai will look to
win this against the inconsistent Bulls. they've lost matches with big margin. their batting is
mostly with the Legend Rahul Dravid. they have too many bowlers including the Ajmal who
formerly played with the opposition

Key Players - Rahul Dravid, Richard Hadlee, Ahmed Shehzad, Marlon Samuels

3. Southampton Samurai - 60 Points

Spoiler: Rd 1 - 5 points

Brilliant to see us get off to such a start and put down a decent quick record potential chase that could even stick through til the end of the season!

Spoiler: Rd 2 - 10 Points

Can't really blame the top order when you have McCullum who is striking at 110. But have to say, Trott innings was too slow, we could have had few more runs in 10-15 overs. Nice innings from Smith and Williamson who gave us a good platform for the hard-hitters to follow, but it didn't turn out to be for us with back to back wickets.

Hopefully we can improve the batting especially at the top.

Spoiler: Rd 2 - 25 Points

Spoiler: Rd 4 - 10 Points

Appears as though our other openers spot is still cursed with no on able to nail down a space in it. Some good bowling from Harris restricted them well making it hard to rotate our bowlers though!

Spoiler: Rd 5 - 10 Points

Very disappointing for us. Our middle order really should have pushed on more and instead had a complete collapse. Disappointing considering an extra 10-20 runs could of won us it looking at how McGrath was going!

4. Mumbai Indians - 35 Points

Spoiler: Rd 1 - 5 Points

Our bowlers bowled badly especially Kallis whom we expected too much from. Batsmen gave us something to be happy about but overall it was a bad match for us.

Spoiler: Rd 3 - 10 Points

Our bowlers did a great job with them restricted to 218. Then a bad start when Gilly got out but a small rebuild was done by Shreyas Iyer and Simmons. Then the legend did a great job and missed by 4 runs coz of the the target being low.

PREVIEW, M16: Mumbai Indians vs Southampton Samurai
Two of the most consistent sides who failed in the Play-offs in season 1 will take on each other for the 16th Match of the second edition of the great tournament.
Both have won losing one of their first two and three games respectively. Heads will be on for the match at the Wankhede Stadium, the crowd have also supported the team from the bottom of the heart regardless of the results.

Mumbai started the season with a big loss to Sydney at Sydney but bounced back hard by defeating Kolkata and Chennai comprehensively. Everyone will be waiting for the performance of Lasith Malinga who hasn't fired in this season yet. The team has a good opening pair of legendary WKB Adam Gilchrist and a red hot Lendl Simmons. With the middle order pack with Class of Kallis, Rayudu, Morgan and Mathews to control the inning plus slog at the end, these four can play any type of cricket according to the asituation they are asked to handle. Warne, the world's best spinner, known for his turns and twists in the crack and wrist spin is the only and enough spin bowler to cope up the situation he is asked to bowl in. With the likes of Malinga, Rampaul and Jordan for seam bowling, the team completes the strength.

Southampton Samurai has started of comprehensively by defeating the Chennai Super Kings quite comfortably but their fortunes changed while the met Kolkata Knight Riders in Round 2 before the bye in round 3. They would also like to bonce back and get a place in the top from the start.
Where?
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Previous Meeting
Qualifier 2, Season 1 @ Dubai. Southampton Samurai won it.
Player to look for:
Jacques Kallis has been in a terrific for in the season with the orange cap on his head with 231 runs from 3 matches.

Overall it was a great match for us.

5. Sydney Dynamo - 25 Points

7. Kolkata Knight Riders - 20 Points

Spoiler: Rd 2 - 10 Points

What a victory ! Take a bow Starc. KKR maintained their reputation to produce thrillers. Disappointed with batting performance but I know they will back it up in next outing. Bowlers as always led us to victory.

Spoiler: Rd 5 - 10 Points

A massive win for KKR. Openers gave us a solid start by putting 100+ partnership but middle order collapsed badly. We saw Sobers getting out on duck for the first time in this league (if I am not wrong). Then came in Kapil and Ross and they simply took the score to another level.
Bowlers were impressive as well. Ambrose picking up wickets for us is a good thing. They restricted Chelsea before 200 which is quite an achievement.

8. Durban Dolphins - 10 Points

Spoiler: Rd 1 - 10 points

I am very please with the win. many of our strong performers from last season were excellent. Brendan Taylor had a quiet first season, so a return to form is positive. Our three new players were very good. Flintoff was a bit quiet, but he helped us win, and will have bigger matches soon.

9. Chennai Super Kings - 10 Points
