IPL Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[Chetan0304]

i m happy Indian cricket board had thought of something like IPL and was a big success
and no English board company thought of this

ICL thaught earlier. Its ironic though that idea is as old as 1996 but BCCI never ventured into it.

 

[Chetan0304]

maybe but BCCI dared and a huge success

 

[SaiSrini]

You dont have any quality international players : ?????

Yes... Fleming is not cut out for Twenty20. He was useless for our team. Kapugadera? Well, Dhoni can only answer why Badri came below this guy. Morkel and Ntini played well and gave us a boost till the final. Hussey and Hayden left early and it put the brakes on us.

Actually Kapu is very explosive, he just didn't have a good time in that innings. He could have easily hit a couple of sixes towards the end, it just so happens that it didn't come of.

I think that Hussey and Hayden should open when they both return, Raina in at three.

Parthiv is not bad as opener, just that he doesnt fit as a keeper when Dhoni is around. We should try to buy out Dinesh karthik for next season. he has failed for delhi, but chennai is his home and he might turn it around for his home team.

Thats is strange. Just shows how cheap the BCCI are.

In a way the IPL's success is the ICL's success.

cheap ? for what?
kapil dev's icl was not that a huge success BCCI got the idea of IPL from ICL
if IPL was earlier than ICl there wouldn't have been players like damien martien inzamam etc.. they would have been in IPL

 

[SaiSrini]

I hear that the franchise teams might venture into things like having off season games to keep their brands alive. would be great to see that! like having kkr play an australian state side in a twenty20.

Delhi Daredevils batting:

Sehwag
Warner
Gambhir
Dhawan
Tiwari
ABDV
Kartick

Man they will smoke the tournament.

 

[deerkick]

Oh my at that batting lineup. Don't they also have Dilshan and Shoaib Malik? If they retain McGrath and Maharoof, DD looks very strong on paper. I don't know which IPL team to support, maybe I should go for Deccan

 

[SciD]

Add McGrath and Vetoori to that as they can field 4 internationals.

As for DC their charge is still out.
