IPL Chennai Super Kings

[Akash00]

If Bailey had to come, We can try resting Flintoff from the present team.

1) Hayden
2) Vijay
3) Bailey
4) Badrinath
5) Raina
6) Morkel
7) Dhoni
8) Balaji
9) Ashwin
10) Gony
11) Murali or Ntini

Resting Flintoff??? He is already gone.

I dont think Badri is ever going to play for India with the selectors failing to see him when hes performing and he failing to perform when hes in limelight.This guy is very unlucky to be honest.

 

[Akash00]

This will be the best XI for the next match:

Patel
Hayden
Raina
Dhoni
Morkel
Oram
Badrinath
Gony
Balaji
Ntni
Ashwin

I don't want to see Vijay, Murali or Tyagi.

 

[naresh091]

Im not liking it.Simple.Its all the most same as what they play now with only Ashwin and Ntini coming in.Murali must be in the side,if we are to win.

 

[Akash00]

But it will work out vs Deccan Chargers.

 

[leftarmlegspin]

How you can leave Murali out is beyond me. He's your best bowler, he must be picked at all times.

 

[SaiSrini]

Murali has to play.... His last game, he got 3 wkts for us at a very good rate.

 

[surendar]

Resting Flintoff??? He is already gone.

oh...I never know that But Murali has to play in the side. Spinners have been performing very well in this tournament. We can't leave our trump card is what I feel.

 

[naresh091]

I still feel we can reach the semis if we atleast wake up at this moment.
In all five matches we have played till now,we have lost all three matches to the top three teams in the table.We still have 9 games in which we face the bottom three in 6 games.If we win all of them we have 7 wins in total.We are sure to reach the semis then.The only thing we need to do is just atleast do what we are doing at the moment.If anything goes worser,we are sure to end the season at the bottom of the tables.

Picking ntini ahead of murali would be a vital mistake. Guy got smashed all over the park in the aus odi's.

 

[surendar]

As if they are not committing a vital mistake now.. PICKING PARTHIV PATEL! This guy is fit for nothing... :laugh Still brainless selectors go for him :rtfl :rtfl When Raina has hit so beautifully in another end, Parthiv played some non-sense shot and did a good suicide. He was clueless how to get runs :

 

[SaiSrini]

Dont know why Dhoni persists with Parthiv. Maybe to share his gloves with Parthiv!

CSK are closing in on a good win! Raina was superb! Edit: Thats a great yorker from Balaji... And Balaji-Hayden get Jadeja! That should be the nail in the coffin!

 

[naresh091]

We won Yay!
Badri finally performed.Dhoni too was hitting rythm.Good news for us.

 

[Sartaj]

sorry mate.dhoni showed no form at all yesterday either with the bat or with the gloves(wk).
how many balls did he actually middle and what was his strike rate?
nice to see them win though.just don't let the royals get out of the coffin while others get some more nails.

 

[naresh091]

He looked good as Raina was batting smoothly at the other end.But yeah that six of Kamran Khan fetched him some decency to his strike rate.Or else it would have been worse.But he was looking tension free yesterday,he dint want to play out of his skins as Raina was playing the attacking role at the other end.He was giving good strike to Raina.Hope we get a big innings from Dhoni in the next game or two.
