IPL 2nd Semi: Chennai Super Kings v Royal Challengers Bangalore

[ZexyZahid]

I would like to see a great innings like Gilchrist did yesterday. Either from Hayden or Ross Taylor.

No Hussey, Jakati comes in for Ashwin...Akhil out and Vinay Kumar in. Not great choices by Dhoni tbh.

Except Akhil and Vinay Kumar don't play for Chennai so that wasn't really Dhoni's choice.....

Why the heck is Oram still there?
I really hate our team selection going on right from the start of this season.
I got my Jakati prediction right haha.
Hussey should've played though! Ridiculuous to stay with Oram.
We'll hopefully.

Not having Hussey in CSK is not a bad decision. He has just arrived without any practice. It will be a high ask to Hussey to perform straight away. I was hoping that Hussey would come in for out-of-form, Oram. But who knows, Oram's bowling can come quite handy today under lights. lets see. :cool:

Well, the ground records doesn't favor CSK i.e team batting first have lost more. But the only one game was won by the team batting first on this ground if I am not wrong, & it was CSK earlier. Lets see... Keeping my fingers crossed for Chennai Super Kings... :upray Good luck

Expect a cracker of a contest!

wow parthiv and haydos gone
we need 1 more wicket and this batting order will crumble

 

[sohum]

It doesn't look like Chennai is going to put enough runs on the board. They slowed down too much after Parthiv was dismissed, without reason since they have such a strong tail.

Oram has failed in batting dept in this season,he is a good player but he has failed..

 

[Leggie]

WTF was Dhoni doing? I mean 28 of 30 balls? This guy doesn't realise his strengths.

 

[nikhil_99]

A very very good comeback by RCB,at the strategic break CSK had lost 2 wickets but they had runs on board,they were 70+,now 20 overs are over and they have just managed 146..

 

[leftarmlegspin]

This total won't be enough I feel. Desperately need Murali to have an absolute blinder of an innings and finish with similar figures like he did against Kings XI. Bowling attack just isn't good enough to defend such a low total.

I have a feeling that pitch has slowed down.. Or the accuracy of Bangalore's bowling was great. 146 is really a disappointing score. I have a feeling that they are 20 runs short of a great score. :

It is now left with Dhoni's captaincy really.. The way he is going to use his bowlers is going to be a great key. :upray

 

[SaiSrini]

Highly disappointed with Dhoni's batting off late. WTF? You got to play to your strengths. Dhoni should have gone for the kill atleast an over back (2 overs back was recommended). He left it too late.

This match will be close, but I predict Bangalore to make it to the finals. Chennai has fluffed it up. When Raina and Hayden both dont score too much, Chennai are in trouble! I have almost given up 90% on Chennai. Dhoni has the task of proving me wrong along with the bowlers. The 10% hope I have on them is purely because of Dhoni's captaincy (which is aided by luck)

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Dhoni has really helped BRC here today just hope they can chase this total with ease
