IPL Indian Premier League 2016- General Discussion

But looking at their bowling, it is not possible.

Inspite of Mitch Starc not playing this season, we still have some quality bowlers in Varun Aaron, Harshel Patel & Srinath Aarvind. Though Patel was expensive in the last game, he was in a good flow. We might not win this one but still we are far better than other teams in terms of team balance.

Talking about today's game, Delhi is looking good at this point. What a fab bowling by Amit Mishra! Really fantastic. Their bowling department have done their job. Now its up to their batsman to go out and get up to the mark. For now, Delhi has already won the game(bowling).

Zak has bowled brilliantly in today's match against 13 runs & a wicket in 4 overs

What happened to Shami?

 

[themusketeer]

A good win for DD and it surely will boost their confidence. Mishra turned the game on his own by picking up 4 wickets.
As I said earlier, Punjab looks weaker on paper and it showed in the 2 matches they have played. They might be able to replace DD in the rankings this time.

Tomorrow's games look good. Looking forward to Martin Guptill hopefully making his IPL debut.

Tomorrow's games look good. Looking forward to Martin Guptill hopefully making his IPL debut.

His tweet confirms he is.

My line-up thus:
Rohit Sharma
Martin Guptill
Ambati Rayudu
Jos Buttler
Hardik Pandya / Kieron Pollard
Hardik Pandya / Kieron Pollard
Krunal Pandya / Jagdeesha Suchith
Harbhajan Singh
Mitchell McClenaghan
Nathu Singh
Jasprit Bumrah

And finally they have changed the 90's font to a readable one!

Good to see the old wily customer Zaheer Khan bowl really well. And Amit Mishra was superb... Guess the Indian selectors have had an egg on their face. Mishra had a great World T20 in 2014 but after that didn't receive much chances (possibly due to his age). He should be given another go now.

 

[shravi]

They should play 2 matches a day everyday. This is just milking it. They are already playing a billion matches. Ridiculous.

 

[grkrama]

I have to say this even as a huge MSD fan, he is a great finisher, WK, leading captain who has gotten everything in the cabinet, he is very resourceful on the day though too conservative at times and one of my all time favourites!

But he is possibly the world's worst judge of talent! The guy is shambles when coming to recognise talent and will mostly go with the best available mediocrity!

 

[Nikhil V]

Ideal RPS squad would be

Rahane
Faf
KP
Smith
Dhoni
Ablie Morkel
Pathan
Ashwin
M Ashwin
Ishant Sharma
I Pandey/Rajat Bhatia

Raina has been brilliant as a captain. He hasn't always chose the best final 11 but he has used his bowler brilliantly today. How he brought Tambe as soon as Pollard came in Tambe gets him on the first ball. Bringing Dhawal Kulkarni for his last over before 12th over to get more wickets. Good to see him doing well as a captain. I hope this captainy translates into his batting form as well. India needs an in-form Raina.

First proper close game of this IPL

Although one big blow from Fimch should seal it for GL

 

[Aalay]

That's some real consistent batting by Finch scoring 3 half centuries in 3 matches. Gujarat deserved this match purely because of their bowling.

 

[SaiSrini]

Gujarat looks real good, with their really good batters. Their bowlers have done the job so far, but more pressure games await them as the tournament progresses and that's where their bowling could be tested. Their batting is superb with Finch, BMac, Raina, Karthik, Bravo, Faulkner and the likes.
