Bored side of the Mumbai Indians-Chennai Super Kings game (in tweets)

It's a T20 game, tweets should sum it up (No cricketers were hurt during these tweets)

Murali Vijay's job is to bat through IPL 5.

At this rate, by the end of today's game, Ojha's gonna be wearing a funny coloured cap. 

Won't be surprised if mid innings Srini arranges for some MI player transfusions into CSK.

If Ashwin was a royal, he'd never name his next in kin Ashwin II. (Ashwin was run-out again)

CSK introduces money-back scheme from Ravi Jadeja.

By the end of this innings, Jadeja may have to start paying CSK to play for them

Post match Levi - Sachin said to me...

Captaincy took 25 kgs off me - Sachin (after the 6 thru the covers)

Think of the filthiest swear words you know. Richard Levi is using them on the CSK bowling

Brace yourself for the most stinking puns on Levi tomorrow morning

If Bollinger isn't expecting, then why does he look like he's eating for two?

Reactive captaincy would be: MSD making Ashwin captain now

This Nohit Sharma innings was a little longer than his stint in England - get hurt, get out

At this rate, very soon they're gonna ask Anjali Tendulkar - what were you and Sachin talking about in the middle

Bollinger reprimanded by Rajiv Shukla for injuring Sachin. Put on notice.

CSK players carry their Indian form into IPL game

The team that has the least players in the Indian squad should win IPL

We bleed for Sachin's finger

DAMN! Another game where Manoj Tiwary didn't get to play

Congrats Nita Bhabi soooooooo happy for you

Sachin unable to shake hands (becoz of injured finger), so CSK players dip their hands in his icepack and go touchy

And if you haven't had enough, here are some more from that dreadful Opening Ceremony: 

Gambhir - they could have finished the opening ceremony earlier

The cynics will always say - "Oh, you gotta see how the Chinese do the IPL Opening Ceremony!"

Sehwag - the opening ceremony is unfit

They really should have a 2 minutes silence for the Kochi Tuskers 

Y'kno they feed the speech into Shukla through a usb port

Good only, Sachin is watching the opening ceremony with Mukesh bhai and Nita Bhabhi on a 5000 inch flat screen

Smart ploy - after this disastrous opening ceremony, the ipl games will seem like India winning the world cup  

Gng by the guys in charge, Srini, Shukla - they should have had the ipl opening ceremony in a bombay dance bar

Expected viewership of IPL Closing ceremony drops to negative after Opening fiasco

Pharma-IPL nexus suspected after opening ceremony viewers complain of never-before symptoms  

Doctor: What have you got? Patient: Opening ceremony

Watch Richard Levi's fastest T20 100 (beyond IPL boundaries)

Before MSD's one match suspension, South Africa's Richard Levi suspended disbelief - 100 of nothing (45 balls), 117* of 51, 13 sixes (the most in a T20 innings, wait, isn't that slower than the fastest ODI 100??*) and an IPL contract. Richard Levi will be signed on by the Chennai Super Kings or the Mumbai Indians (or England) or whoever bids more in the tie breaker after both their bids collide at $2 million. Lalit Modi will tweet about how it was fixed and they had already spent their allotted sum on other players in the previous auction, but don't believe everything he tweets or you see on TV.

 @baijunair02 tweeted " Sahara says they want Richard Levi in place of Yuvraj for Pune Warriors or they will pullout again... "

*Yeah it is. The fastest ODI 100 is by a T20 player, Afridi, of 37 deliveries. The 2nd fastest is by a D/L-phobic player, Boucher, of 44 balls. Ha! the 3rd fastest is by one obscure, BC Lara of 45 balls. So take that T20, ODI's just did you in. The 4th fastest is once again by Afridi, again of 45 balls.

Thanks to Alternative Cricket for the video

Some @BoredCricket tweets from the India vs Aus ODI, 19th Feb, 2011

3rd umpire ki aankh nahin, button hai
Much like some cockroaches, Michael Hussey will survive a nuclear holocaust.
That takes care of MSD's post-match conference - "You can't drop so many catches and afford to win matches..."

India for Hussey Ad slogan: Make it Largesse
Why not just keep the drinks' boy on the field. He's doing way to much running going on and off the field every 2 mts.
 Hussey Dismissed: Surely an appeal to the UN, American Peace Keeping Forces, and Sanctions on India must be underway

Vinay Kumar can be so soft spoken with his bowling.
After this over, the groundmen will be called to collect pieces of Vinay Kumar, scattered across the ground

At innings' close - Bonus point for Australia #EarlyBoredCall.
A very tough one: what do you call a poor man's Vinay Kumar?
 Going by rotation (and injuries) for the next ODI, Sehwag, Sachin and Gambhir will all be rested.
Australia vs REST of India.

Replay: For Parthiv Patel to play a game, triple rotation will have to kick in: Rest an opener, rest wicketkeeper, rest captain
India has regained Test-status-form.

Politically correct tweets on Sachin's predicament doing the rounds
OK, enough, @tiwarymanoj kindly pad up for the next game, and the one after that.

Elsewhere some guy called Richard Levi has scored the fastestT20100 off 45 balls. India has 29/3 of 54.
There are hit the deck bowlers but these Aussies are more like hit-the-Indians bowlers.

The selectors didn't do VVS Laxman any favors, they just saved Rohit Sharma's career by not playing him in the Tests down under.
Taking their cue from Mumbai Indians and Pune Warriors, BCCI requests for 5 foreigners to be allowed in the Indian playing eleven.
