Stan AF Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Bowling is bad. Non existent almost. Not enough wickets being taken to stem.the flow of runs.. Can't keep giving 210+ runs every game and expect batsmen to chase them every single time. rollingstoned, Laaloo and Mariyam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan AF Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'm actually surprised we're in the top 4 (3 now) given out bowling attack(let's face it, it isn't an attack it is more of a mirage). I for sure thought this wasn't possible given how inadequate the bowling is. The batting has picked up and it's looking decent so far with sky blue Yadav being the superior exception with a decent mention of Tilak. Tilak still needs to work on his power game.... Wadhera is doing good for a rookie. Ishan needs to deliver more consistently like the two games he has done. I'm not worried about Rohit's form..he will either hit out or get out and he won't waste balls doing so. Still needs to work on the bowling if we are going to be anywhere close to win the championship... Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFever Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Need to win both of the remaining games against LSG and SRH. Only way we can win the tournament is being in top 2. Laaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 MI has overachieved (Thanks largely to the exceptional form of SKY) in this IPL. I expected it to win 4-6 games but it has won 7 so far, which is at 50% of 14 games. SKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to book mark this for the future human generations. Stan AF, sage and Serpico 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan AF Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 When every other bowler went for 30 or lesser, Jordan gave 24 in an over and overall 50. Lost the game then and there. The team has done great considering the absence of two fast bowlers (Bumrah, Archer) and middle order batter Tilak varma. Can be proud of this season already.

Mariyam Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) ^ I have a working theory here. 'Jordan' isn't a cricketer. He's forged some identification and pretends to be Jordan the cricketer. The real Jordan is probably sipping on his pina colada by a beach in the Caribbean while enjoying his IPL $ that he is sharing with the impostor Jordan who is bowling for us.

Laaloo Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Please end the fascination with Jordan. You can't play him and behrendoff in the same game. Although considering the game is in Chennai I guess shokeen will play or they will go with kartikey IndiaWC8311, Stan AF and asterix 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan AF Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Today was a good day for bowling but i still feel that GT & CSK's bowling units are better than us. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariyam Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 This, right now, is happiness. My parents came home after nearly 3 months. My dad is convalescing and barely left his home in this time. My daughter who is learning the violin played him some old times that she learned just to play for him. I missed a good chunk of the LSG innings coz of all this. And Madhwal got us into the semis. I don't want to jinx us, but given our morale I don't see GT stopping us. Even Jordan bowled well.
