IPL Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya Just T20 has finished so Pakistan players will be there after 2 days of Rest.
So from wednesday We'll see them in Action.
Specially I want to see Afridi.

Shahrukh the lucky guy! Whatever he does turns gold (his team's colors are co-incidently gold-ish). Two wins in a trot for the most unpredictable side of the tournament is amazing!

It was a very tight game and won brilliantly by Hussey in the end. These Aussies are playing really well in this tournament.

Surprised to see Bangalore win. Good one for them. Mumbai Indians will be up against a strong CSK side next at Chennai. Hope Sachin is fit for that match. If he is, Chennai will witness overflowing crowds (already it will be full with the IPL craze and Twenty20 action).

 

[sohum]

Wow.... only 3 days and this tournament has already broken a record or two! Unfortunately I haven't been able to catch any of the games because they tend to start a 8am and end at 11am, which is well before I wake up.

Sohum, you can't give up an hour of sleep for the IPL?!?!?!

Shame on you!

What sucks is that I can't watch any games during the week because of school. Stupid day night games.

The Mumbai vs Challengers game was great. I think getting rid of Jaffer was a good move. Dravid, Kallis and Jaffer = too slow. Luckily the middle order of Taylor, Kohli and Boucher accelerated and they got home. Nice knocks from those, Boucher finished it off well with Kallis and Dravid anchoring. Very well paced. A very good mix of playing styles.

I actually think Mumbai have (edit: one of, I do agree the Royals are worse) the worst side. They have 4 pretty good players in Tendulkar, Pollock, Jayasuriya and Harbihijan but all their other internationals are very second rate.

 

[Cricketman]

Apart from Jaya and Pollock, Mumbai have the worst international players. But, they have the best/second best domestic cricketers in India. Nayar is a beaut, Uthappa can tonk it a mile.

They're a good side, will need the big guns to pull through if they want to win, though.

Jaipur (Rajastan Royals) have the worst side by far. Especially without their first string over sea players.

It was good to see RC's get a win because people had written them off after just one game. They have a fantastic squad with a great mix of experience and youth, attacking players and anchors.

I thought Zaheer was awesome today.

 

[aussie_ben91]

LOL

Domonic Thornley got owned.

His useless.

 

[zub2005]

i am really hoping the RR can put on a good game. i wouldnt write them off after one game though.

any news when g smith is coming

 

[vaibhav mehta]

G Smith is playing in SAF domestics.
I don't think He will join rather Warney soon will leave RR..
I agree that without Sachin Mumbai looks so weak though Pollock played well last day.
They are up against Chennai but If Sachim will play then I'll go with Mumbai.
Though Honestly I don't want Sachin to play.I can't waste my national hero for my Fun.

Today will be one side game.Yuvi might score 50 today.

 

[Arunava]

Who'll b the Star today. .? Motm !

 

[Harrypotter_fan]

Yuvi all the way :happy

 

[Neo95]

I would give Kings Xi Punjab they look like winners(unless warnie doesnt start a collapse).

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Punjab has won the battle of Toss and I think it would have decrease Rajastan's chance of winning this.
Very steady start,I think 180+ would be enough for Rajastan.
Hope Yuvi will bat today for long and show some hitting.
Go Punjab.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Warne getting no spin at all, and Sangakarra somehow sweeps the ball back to him for a caught and bowled.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Now Both the Leg spinner have wickets.
I am getting feeling that Spinner still rules.
