IPL 6 Apr - Mumbai Indians vs Pune Warriors

MI are almost out here unless Bhajji serves up something very special here.... COME ON PUNE!!!!
 
15 runs per over needed! Mumbai need a miracle here... From the trend so far, all home teams have been beaten and this match looks to go the same way.:D
 
Done and dusted. Well played Warrirors they have a Warrior captain with them and with Clarke joining in soon they could be in for a blast this season
 
And the stronger/favorite teams as well.

Yes... But today should be the biggest upset of all. Pune were never expected to give MI a fight. But they have defied expectations to pull off a huge upset today. And there must be big credit given to Ganguly today for an excellent captaincy.

Absolutely! My 12 year old cousin told me Pune will win and I laughed it off. Well done Ganguly and Pune but to me Ganguly has got all the tricks in the trade when it comes to leading the team so he should better become the coach/mentor of the team as his batting isn't that good anymore. He still can contribute for his team, may be in even a better way.
 
I missed the best part of this match. Steve Smith's innings and those 3 quick wickets for PW. Good performance from the team, nice to get a win first up. Favorites or no favorites, T20 doesn't take that into account. One or two good performances, and you are there. Credit to Sourav as well for leading the side well.

Some people perform better when they're leading. But, I won't say his batting isn't that good anymore. He just needs to relax, that's it. I feel he still has that pressure on him to perform well with the bat. If he bats freely and plays proper Cricket, he should be fine. That's what people like Kallis, Sachin and all the other guys do, isn't it?

Ganguly haven't done much for last two Ranji seasons as well and he was never good with his fitness which only would have deteriorated after he retired from international cricket. Honestly, I feel he is no T20 material and he should better be a coach now but that doesn't mean I don't respect him. He is the best captain and one of the best batsmen India has ever produced. Its just that I feel its time he should give up his bat.

Pune won! Well done Ganguly, well done Pune! A win least expected.

If I remember, earlier today Harsha Bhogle was mentioning Ganguly scored some 350 odd runs @ 53 something. That's a good performance, if true..
 
Just checked and yes he had a good season that. May be, it was the second last season in which he scored badly. My bad. By the way, Sourav scored 424 and not 350 runs at an average of 53 with a hundred and 2 fifties.

I just put whatever I heard Harsha Bhogle say on air. :p So, yeah, he isn't just done with the bat. As I said, needs to enjoy his Cricket. This is the right time to do so.
