Indian Premier League 2008

[SciD]

These Pathan and Watoo combination is killing my chances as well as Kings XI.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I needed Mumbai and Bangalore to win today (to have more players in the semi-finals), but instead Punjab has won and now Chennai is winning also.

 

[aussie1st]

Taking out Mumbai is exactly what I need. Just need one Cam White to start opening the batting and maybe getting a few wickets before he leaves.

Update after the 45th Twenty20: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/336028.html

I stayed on number 6, but the difference with number 5 is now lesss then 100 points. Jayasuriya didn't score much runs for me. Tendulkar finally scored a fifty. Pollock got a wicket and a catch, but then he got a duck.
Bad thing was the performance of Yuvraj Singh. Marsh and Pomersbach performed also, but probably nobody has them.

I stayed on number 6, but the difference with number 5 is now really big. Kallis didn't do anything again. Boucher also failed with the bat. Bad thing was the performance of Kumble with his three wickets. But the really bad thing are the wickets of Morkel. In the past matches I went closer to the top and he ruined it with one match. Especially since people in the top 10 have him in his team.

There is no difference in the standings, because the match was abandoned.

Not really helpful for me, because I could have played four players in this match.

Also Kolkata is now out of the semi-finals and Punjab has qualified. That means I only have now a maximum of 7 players in the semi-finals. And then I've got to hope that Delhi and Mumbai somehow get through.

 

[Highlander999]

Do I get a prize for where I come?

 

[aussie1st]

Guess I can take Kolkata being out, Punjab in the semis means an extra game for my captain.

You might just get it Viral wont be too happy with it then.

 

[SciD]

Kings XI, Royals, Indians and Daredevils will be ideal 4 for me. Royals getting bumped in semi will be ideal.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Guess I can take Kolkata being out, Punjab in the semis means an extra game for my captain.

You've got Yusuf Pathan as your captain, not Irfan Pathan. Yusuf Pathan plays for Rajasthan Royals.

 

[aussie1st]

Same result thought Royals are already in the finals Dam Gilly did too much and Afridi didn't even play.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I don't understand the reason of not playing Afridi. Now they couldn't contain Marsh and Sangakkara.

 

[aussie1st]

I really wish I had kept Smith now. I hope Watson keeps playing, need him and Pathan to keep me in touch before the finals.

 

[ZexyZahid]

From the preview I can read that it's very likely that Smith and Watson will be rested.

Chennai push for semi-final berth
