Indian Premier League 2009

[Abhas]

Chennai are actually playing with 4 internationals currently: Hayden, Flintoff (who just got smacked for 22 runs in one over), Thushara (he is Sri Lankan) and Oram.

Oh Right! Forgot Oram..

 

[superstars]

Not a good start...my captain is not playing :crying

 

[ZexyZahid]

Of the first two matches I've got 8 players, so I am expecting to be high in the standings early on and then drop after the second two matches.

Raina has been the worst player from the first match. I actually included him yesterday instead of Dhoni.

I didn't in the first match Malinga to play. After three wickets he took I am expecting he will play more matches.

 

[McLOVIN]

Also I've noticed you've kept some faith in some players from Bangladesh, by selecting Ashraful and Mortaza

faith? more like "what ever i am just gona take 'em, what the hell"

but i have more faith in Mash then Ash

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's a good thing that Chennai has lost the first match. Hopefully they will include next match Albie Morkel instead of a player like Thushara. At the end of the deadline I was doubting between Albie Morkel and Warne as my captain. But I didn't realise that one of them wouldn't play, otherwhile my selection of captain would have been easy.

[ZexyZahid]

Kumble took 5 wickets for 5 runs. Didn't expect that to happen today from him. I am among the top, but I'll surely drop. Nevertheless it's pretty good since my captain didn't play.

Good start for me! 43rd
even last time, the order was almost perfectly reversed

 

[ZexyZahid]

Update after the corrections of the 2nd Twenty20: Cricinfo - 2nd match: Bangalore Royal Challengers v Rajasthan Royals at Cape Town, Apr 18, 2009

Dale Steyn took a catch. If you had Anil Kumble in your team, he would have given you 109 points.

[Abhas]

Better! Gone to 44th

 

[ZexyZahid]

I see that most people have McCullum as their wicketkeeper. So it's in my interest that he fails and Gilchrist scores.

 

[Highlander999]

Oh yeah, go 40th. I always hang around the rear and then go for a late charge

 

[aussie1st]

Sid off to an early lead, now time for some McCullum magic Thought I was in trouble after Ryder's duck but I see he bowled well.
