Go and get a brain first : he prefer his country first

 

[sohum]

I'm glad to see a few of the internationals pull out, to be honest. That will allow the local boys who remain to be given some playing time--the next gem may be hidden amongst them somewhere... although a Twenty20 tournament isn't the best way to find out, better through T20 than not at all.

[khalek]

he didnt really do much last season either ...

He never does anything but his presence definitely does something

 

[Funknath]

Semi-Finals to be held in Chennai . One Semi Final should be given at the Eden Gardens IMO

 

[Chetan0304]

The Final is again in Mumbai :cool: and i ll witness it and Support my team MI in the final :happy

Final in Mumbai is what i wanted no specific expectation for Semi's

 

[khalek]

Just noticed that most games will start at 8:30 pm here in Bangladesh which means matches will probably end at 12:30. I think 7 or 7:30 pm Indian time would have been a lot better.

 

[Cricketman]

I'm pretty eager to see how Bangalore will do this time around. They've made some smart picks and I think they'll do a lot better, maybe even land a semi final slot.

Possible XI

Jesse Ryder
Robin Uthappa
Ross Taylor
Kevin Pietersen
Rahul Dravid (C)
Virat Kohli
S Goswami (WK)
B Akhil
Praveen Kumar
Anil Kumble
Nathan Bracken/Dale Steyn

That looks amazing IMO.

Check out that batting order. Jesse Ryder and Robin Uthappa, both explosive stroke makers who hit it long. One down we see Ross Taylor, another kiwi and another big hitter of the ball. KP at 4, he'll be the talisman for the team, and will hopefully have a good season with Bangalore. Dravid is in next, he has the ability to really turn it on and was Bangalore's best last season. Kohli is a quality player and he's down at 6, Goswami the keeper at 7 who is a clean hitter as well.

The bowling order is good as well. Praveen Kumar will share the new ball with either Bracken or Dale Steyn, preferably Bracken, and make a formidable new ball attack. They are backed up by the talented B Akhil. Kumble will perform spinning duties, he's new to the game but quickly learned last season, and his bowling even helped beat CSK last season.

Get Chipli in, drop Ryder until there is a spot open, and then, Goswami is replaced by Rambo.

 

[Cricketman]

I feel this IPL will be the resurgence of a few forgotten players. Uthappa, Karthik, and Sreesanth to have fantastic tournaments, and new guy Abhishekh Nayar will do well too. Praveen to struggle a bit I think, and hopefully the Pathans will be replaced with better candidates after this is all over.

 

[SaiSrini]

Yusuf is not useful with his bowling, and we have big hitters in India to replace him. Irfan can easily be replaced for his batting and his bowling is so bad that we might have 16yr olds in schools who can bowl better than him.

Hope both are replaced.

Uthappa and Sreesanth need to be back. Both are talented guys. Even if they break rules, whats it with us? We need to see if they are performing or not. If they are, they should be in. The other details are best left to the player and the officials.

 

[Cricketman]

Mumbai have a better lineup this time around too..

Sachin Tendulkar
Sanath Jayasuriya
Shikhar Dhawan
JP Duminy
Ajinkya Rahane/McLaren
Abhishekh Nayar
Takewala/Pinal Shah (WK)
Harbhajan Singh
Zaheer Khan
Dhawal Kulkarni
Kyle Mill

A fantastic lineup that. Solid opening pair in Sachin and Sanath, backed up by a solid middle order. Duminy, Dhawan, Rahane, and Nayar are all consistent batsman and good strokeplayers as well. Zaheer takes the new ball, and is one of the best swing bowlers in the world. He's backed up by Mills who I feel would be a better pick than Lasith or Fernando as he is harder to get away. Dhawal will support them well with the ball, and Vaaji will do the spin duties. Jayasuriya and Nayar will roll their arms around as well, to make a very versatile bowling attack as well.

They have plenty of options in their Int players as well. Graham Napier is a big hitter and a handy bowler, as well as McLaren. There's another allrounder in Bravo, and Ronchi is a hard hitting keeper who could help out Mumbai as well. They don't even need all the internationals to make a fantastic side.

 

[shravi]

Delhi Daredevils has the most Indian talent though.
