PS3: Arjwiz's live commentary thread

Well played guys, @arjwiz you are getting some good form going. Will be an interesting second game between us.
 
You too man. Your batting was really very solid. I tried everything, and then just tried to contain you. Had you batted like you did at the end throughout the innings, you could have scored 175.

Your bowling needs a bit more variation, and you definitely need to get your timing right so that you can bowl fast. You were bowling well by restricting it to outside the off after you saw Hussey smash 21 runs to the leg side in the first over, which was very good.

My bowling is a big worry.. I had managed to pick up the first 5 wkts cheaply with the other opponents but couldn't wipe off the tail. Need to work a lot on my bowling. Samuel Badree has been delivering but he hasn't been getting the support from the other end.

----------

You should be proud of your batting, after 08 Wickets down, you didn't gave up..Thats a big achievement..:thumbs:thumbs

@kushari thanks mate. I wanted to bat out the complete 20 overs. Time to take serious calls on few players who are not performing. Ishwar Pandey has really impressed with his batting in his first match but he should concentrate on his bowling

Oh great wicket of Anderson by Patel. Caught behind. Big wicket. Anderson was looking strong. Gone for 18(11). MI now need 42 off 30. Tare comes out to bat. 128/4 after 15.
 
Ramiz: 50 to get from the last 6, you have to favour the batting side here with 7 wickets in hand. RCB need to keep striking and things can change pretty quick. And just as a say that Anderson is out, big wicket.
 
LS: Ramiz bhai how are you?

Ramiz: Just to add, if RCB win here they will take Mumbai's second spot in the table, that will add salt to the wound's of MI as they were sitting comfortably at 94 for 2 from 11.
 
Oh my god, what's happening here. Rohit Sharma, Mumbai's only hope, has nicked it to the keeper. Out for 52(36). Mumbai 7 down and in tatters. Zaheer Khan out to bat.

----------
