Mariyam Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I thought we batted rather poorly, but still managed to chase the total. Pandya's and Yadav's dismissals were really unnecessary shots. Nonetheless, we won this without breaking into a sweat. Never looked like we were ever in danger of losing.

He did bat well till there. Pattison was Delhi's best hope. Leaves a lot to be desired. He single-handedly undid all the good work done by Bumrah in the previous overs.

Mariyam Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Our next game is against KKR on Friday. Do you guys reckon we will see any changes in the squad for that one? Edited October 11, 2020 by Mariyam
SK_IH Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Today was a lesson for other teams in how to approach T20 batting. MI never stopped attacking & kept RR in check throughout. Rohit got out, Dekock smashed Nortje next over, Dekock got out & Yadav smashed Axar next over & thereafter Kishan hit the boundaries when they were needed. MI is so well ahead of other so called great teams in this tournament.

MI is so well ahead of other so called great teams in this tournament. The target was small, they were able to take lesser risks and keep the aggression. There is nothing to show if this works for 180+ target

I recall watching a video of Jayawardene's pep talk in UAE where he spoke about playing fearless cricket, being confident, and if the ball is there to be hit, to go for it irrespective of the situation (or something to that order) PS it makes sense, a full toss does not become a yorker if you have lost a wkt. ideally, one should try to play the ball on its merit Edited October 12, 2020 by zen SK_IH 1

MI is one team against which no total is safe. Remember the match against RCB, that was one time MI had a flawed start still they tied the game. Yesterday was the perfect batting game for them IMO Stan AF and Mariyam 2
Stan AF Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Making a grand statement. Title this year is MI's to lose. They should just kick themselves if they don't win the title this year. I'd still like a bowler who can bat more in the line up as it is the only chink in the armor I can find. 5 different MOTM's this year already in Rohit, SKY, Quinton, Pollard & Trent boult. That's how a team should roll. Edited October 12, 2020 by Stan AF Mariyam 1
Stan AF Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Time to make some changes in the 11. Mix and match. Get NCN a game maybe here and there. Also try some local talents. Edited October 12, 2020 by Stan AF

zen Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 In terms of “test quality” batsmen, QdK is MI’s best so it is good to see him getting runs as his good form can be very useful v relatively strong pace bowling attacks in PPs
maniac Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Waiting for a slow pitch to roll over this team only need to handle captain Chanakya and rest will roll over Laaloo 1
Mariyam Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I lol'd at this, but glad to see our team have a good time. Ajju, zen, Laaloo and 1 other 4
Mariyam Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 @Laaloo @asterix @speedheat@zen @Stan AF @maniac Any of you guys want to open the match thread for the game for tomorrow?
