IPL Chennai Super Kings - Raise your hands for the best team in IPL

[federer]

Ben is playing test in WI till end of the month like Hussey..

Since MSD doesn't favor changes unless its a must

Till then

Vijay, Anirudha, Raina, Badri, MSD, Saha/Faf/Bailey/Nuwen, Jadeja, Bravo, Albie, Ashwin, Dougy

 

[Aalay]

The match in which Dhoni's wife was too animated in the crowd and over-reacted after every delivery, right?

Hey! She is hot. So I don't mind watching her over and over again.

----------

Well, Mukund has injured himself so Aniruddha comes in for him.

Vijay
Aniruddha
Raina
Badri
Dhoni
Morkel
Bravo
Jadeja
Ashwin
Bolinger
Hilfenhaus

As soon as Hussey arrives, include him in the line up but he hasn 't been in the great touch lately. So it would depend on who performs and who does not. If Hussey does not perform, then they might stick with this lineup coz I don't think Chennai need anymore spinners. They have Ashwin, Jadeja, Raina, which is enough.

 

[federer]

Vijay, Anirudha, Raina, Badri, Faf, MSD, Jadeja, Bravo, Albie, Ashwin, Dougy

should be the line up for opener. Faf has been bowling well in Miway-t20.. Bailey hasn't done much in WI T-20 series. My choice would be Faf over Saha

Depending on the run rate, the oder can change to get Albie or MSD to come in early to slog...

I feel sorry for you for having such a bad taste!

 

[Aalay]

I feel sorry for you for having such a bad taste!

Don't complain about my taste. I find her hot and that is why I have stated my opinion. If you don't, then keep it to yourself because I don't need any compliment on my taste


Anyways, back to cricket?

 

[RPHKR]

Faf du Plessis
Murali Vijay
Suresh Raina
Dwayne Bravo
Albie Morkel
Subramaniam Badrinath
MS Dhoni
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravichandran Ashwin
Doug Bollinger
Shadab Jakati

This was the batting order in the first match. Was it the needed XI in the situation?
Why Jakati was given chance where we've had 4 spinners already?

 

[SaiSrini]

Jakati worked really well yesterday against Deccan. If you saw y'days match, Bollinger and Morkel were the guys who were giving lot of runs. The spinners - Ashwin, Jadeja and Jakati won the match for us. Jakati took 2 wkts, Jadeja took a 5-fer and Ashwin choked Deccan in the Power-play, giving only 12 runs off 3 overs.

But on the newly laid Chennai wicket, Jakati is not needed. Instead we can go for a medium pacer like Sudeep Tyagi or Yomahesh.

No man no tyagi needed he will get sixes and fours of his overs instead of him we can get get styris and get morkel our foor one game and see what happens

What An Awesome Batting By ALBIE

 

[SaiSrini]

With Hussey and Hilfenhaus expected to join the CSK team soon (probably they have already joined CSK by now), CSK would do well if they have this XI:

M Hussey
F Du Plessis
S Badrinath
S Raina
MS Dhoni
A Morkel
R Jadeja
R Ashwin
S Jakati
Y Mahesh
B Hilfenhaus

Opening with Hussey will allow Du Plessis to go all out for attacking as Hussey will play anchor. Also Badri should come in immediately at one down because he is wasted (and the team is hurt) if he comes to bat anytime after the 12th over. In the battle between Bravo and Morkel, Morkel wins because he is a bigger hitter and a more specialist bowler than Bravo. And Hilfy comes in automatically (as also Bollinger is in bad form right now). Good time for CSK to surmount a comeback.

 

[spiritofsports]

hussey + du plesid = csk champions of ipl 5
when is hussey coming man. when he does du plesis will start his fighting spirit and our cup

 

[Fenil]

CSK have the likes of Michael Hussey, MS Dhoni, Raina and Bravo down the order and their coach, former Australia allrounder Andy Bichel says they lack a good finisher. lol.

 

[SaiSrini]

Du Plessis and Badrinath out of today's game due to sickness.. First game that Badri is missing in IPL history.

with rr losing to deccan still csk hopes are alive to make into the play off

No... Was not worried about Rajasthan since I know Rajasthan will most likely lose to MI in their final game. The games Chennai and its fans are looking up to is the RCB vs DC game and the KXIP vs DD game. RCB and KXIP need to lose, and Chennai should be through. But RCB losing to DC would be a mega upset (considering Gayle's form).
