Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Both teams are underdogs who are showing a spirited fight in this season. I am a little inclined towards KKR as it has a few players I really like. But my mind says Kochi will continue its winning run.

Wow, I don't really get how KKR are termed as underdogs? It is now after the return of Lee and Shakib, the most (one of the) formidable lineups.

They have to be underdogs going by their performance in the previous seasons. Lee, Shakib coming in doesnt make them formiable immediately. KKR had big players even in their previous seasons, but always failed to deliver as a franchise.

 

[Gaurav_7]

What? I don't take into account the performance of any team in any of the past seasons. It is a completely new team and is actually doing well. It will be harsh to term them as underdogs seeing the previous 3 seasons.

I just hope Hodgey and McCullum don't shows their vengeance tomorrow against us They will be playing against their former Team and former home ground It will really fun wathcing them again @ Eden Gardens and i am sure, SRK will meet up with both of the former KKR's Go Kolkata

It looks clear ATM and hopefully it stays that way,
and McCullum returns to Kolkata, I really admire this guy , I hope he dosent show his venegence against Kolkata people who really went after him after he replaced Ganguly as the skipper,

I expect a McCullum Big one , But still KKR to win

----------

@Sai: We are no more an underdog , We won 3 out of 4 and almost won that opening match, So we a force to reckon with

It will be a nice game for sure. I am supporting Kochi Tuskers for their unexpected show.

I knew KKR will come on top in this season. They have got 3 wins on trot due to outstanding all-rounders like Kallis, Yusuf, Shakib as well as dangerous bowling from Lee, Balaji, Abdulla. Who can forget awesome batting from Kallis and Gambhir.

But I didn't have any expectations earlier from KTK. But inconsistent McCullum shown his consistency and will try to be consistent against KKR too. Mahela is leading from the front. Jadeja and Hodge doing good job of finishers. Vinay Kumar and R P Singh had got good line and length in last game.
Looking forward how McCullum and Hodge plays against their earlier team!!!

Watching Jayawardene bat, is such a pleasure. He is like our VVS Laxman no aggression just pure artistry

 

[vickyrox]

Both openers gone.. Awesome

 

[SaiSrini]

I think Ravindra Jadeja is all set to make an India comeback. Lets just hope that his IPL performances convert into good India performances. Seems like he has acquired the ability to hit those big sixes. He has been batting very well this tournament. Just hope this isnt just an IPL phenomenon.

I think Ravindra Jadeja is all set to make an India comeback.

Oh Yeah.

But some seasons back, it was his IPL performances that got him into the Indian OD team... We all know what he did later.... In fact, during India's One dayers when he used to get out people used to celebrate....

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!


Smacking down three biggies in three matches. I Love Orange. Great bowling performance by our team and Jadeja's and Raiphi's runs at the end proved crucial. All the bowlers, even including Pawar bowled superbly.

Jayawardane is a great cricketer and a very good captain, he predicted the par score perfectly when Gambhir thought 140-150 as the par score in the pitch. Also the way he used our bowlers and his fielding arrangements was great.


Go Tuskers Go!!
