The official IPL Thread

[Pathik]

Mumbai Indians suck.

[drgrudge]

Another poll in a different forum. Again KKR and CSK are popular teams.

[jamifahad]

MI vs KP is the most boring match of ipl so far!

[gagandeep]

MI vs KP is the most boring match of ipl so far!
Nope...
The most boring was Delhi vs Rajasthan which I had gone to see at Feroz Shah Kotla........:(

[Tech.Masti]

Brett Lee bowls really well in this match, this may be his last match in this IPL season.

[alok4best]

Brett Lee bowls really well in this match, this may be his last match in this IPL season.

He wil be playing one more match on Sunday.
on Monday most of the Australians are leaving..

[confused]

why the hell is vvs laxman opening :mad: ? shameless guy wants "footage" so he can appear in more ads; nevermind if he sidelines other talented players. This is why I hate indian cricketers.
read this. (http://www.smh.com.au/news/cricket/why-vvs-laxman-gave-up-a-motza/2008/02/22/1203467387516.html)
maybe then you'll change ur mind.
but i do agree laxman is not exactly meant for t20.:p

Mumbai MLA's considering banning cheerleaders in Mumbai indians Home match..These mumbai MLAs suck big timeforget mumbai MLAs, "MI" themselves $uck.:oops:

and yes the "mumbai moral police" should take a break. i feel like i am living in IRAN!!!:mad:

Mumbai Indians suck.i discovered it a while ago.:D
anyway going for sunday night's match. hope symonds puts up a good show. no expectations from "MI".:oops:

[alok4best]

aaj ki Taja khabar..
Bhajji Slaps Srisanth...lol...maja aa gaya...
Sri deserves it..

[Dipen01]

Are yeah i heard something of that sorts.. He was crying or something

What the hell was that :O ??

[confused]

aaj ki Taja khabar..
Bhajji Slaps Srisanth...lol...maja aa gaya...
Sri deserves it..ok now i know why sreesanth was crying........
but why did "angry bhajji" do it??

was it sreesanth's fault OR
did "angry bhajji" just loose his temper again???

BTW here are pics.......
[sorry they are blurry, very slow comp ....:oops:]

[alok4best]

Bhajji is No Saint...everyone knows that.
To add, Mr. Srisanth is all aggression no quality.
he bowls at 130Kmph on average, and stares at batsmen and behaves like he is Shoaib Akhtar or Brett Lee. I guess Sri passed some comments to MI, to which Bhajji reacted with a nice little slap..
it shud not have happened, however personally, I am very happy as it was Sri at receiving end..He shud know how to play and bowl gracefully.
If u r Lee then u have all the rights to stare at whoever u want..
but being just an average medium pacer, chhi...for what his aggression is all about. No pace, no line length, no consistency...

[confused]

but slapping someone is taking it too far.
"angry bhajji" has crossed the limit.:mad::mad::mad: i want some serious action to be taken against him. hope he gets banned.:mad::mad::mad:

IMO "angry bhajji" was frustrated that "MI" couldnt even win one match out of three. so he took it out on a junior player.:p:p:p

[amd64_man2005]

yea....in the test match too he shouted at dada for a misfield..and then spiled catches and misfielded like a 2 year old baby...this is heights..someone should kick hisass and send him packing...sreeshant reportedly went up and said HARD LUCK to the MI captain and recieved a blow in the eye..Both play for india and such behaviour on the cricket field is simply unacceptable...

anyways..

todays the day...

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS VS CHENNAI INDIANS... GO KKR.. CHENNAI EAT ****.. :P

[drgrudge]

It's a sell out crowd here and the tickets have sold out even before the MI match. :D

IMO the best match of the IPL... :D Hope CSK wins.

Is SRK gonna be present at MAC? I didn't see any media reports as whether he is in Chennai.

[Krazzy Warrior]

Todays Match

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS VS CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

Chak De Kolkata Knight Riders http://www.imgx.org/pfiles/7196/kolkat_110x85.gif

Who remains unbeaten in these two as no one among them has lost any match ?

[mehulved]

abe it's chennai super kings. not chennai indians.

[rockii_420]

I hope CSK wins.
All the best...

[davinci]

KKR gonna win dats 4 sure n CSK-ko dho dalega.

By the way Bhajji should be punished for slapping Sreesanth.When Shoaib misbehaved PCB punished him badly and currently he is banned for his misconduct.So why should BCCI go easy on Bhajji.

[confused]

IMO the best match of the IPL... there are two "KKR vs CSK" matches not one.......:D

[confused!!]

By the way Bhajji should be punished for slapping Sreesanth.When Shoaib misbehaved PCB punished him badly and currently he is banned for his misconduct.So why should BCCI go easy on Bhajji.
Don't compare BCCI to PCB...while BCCI people(most of them) are a bunch of jokers, PCB are even worse ..most of the time they dont know what they are doing..

[confused]

yea....in the test match too he shouted at dada for a misfield..and then spiled catches and misfielded like a 2 year old baby...this is heights..someone should kick hisass and send him packing...sreeshant reportedly went up and said HARD LUCK to the MI captain and recieved a blow in the eye..Both play for india and such behaviour on the cricket field is simply unacceptable...im sure the aussies are secretly jumping with joy. becoz the aussies hate both "angry bhajji" as well as sreesanth. and now both themselves are fighting.:p:p:p

and yeah "angry bhajji" should get a life ban ......... 3rd such incident involving him since october.:shock::shock::shock:



KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS VS CHENNAI INDIANS... GO KKR.. CHENNAI EAT ****.. :Pit will be a close match for sure...

[amitabhishek]

Both of them are dciks in their own right. I will be happy if a third person slaps both of them.

[desiibond]

Now I have 0% doubt about onething.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a scoundrel and one son of a *****.

To hell with cricket. To hell with IPL. To hell with sportsman spirit...and to hell with Dhoni.

So much of hype and now finally IPL is going the world series way.

And please, please, please post in a language which everybody can understand.

[Krazzy Warrior]

Chennai Super Kings beats Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 Wickets and remain unbeaten. :-x

[amd64_man2005]

that was very unsporting of dhoni..anyways..we were outclassed in every department of the game today..cheers to the superkings...awesome display of cricket..it was just the day when everything went against us...the shots went to the fielders,outside edges,mishts,all falling to the fielders hands...but WE WILL COME BACK STRONG!!!MARK IT!!!

[Tech.Masti]

Very bad performance from kolkata, Ponting failed again.

What is meant by Bhranthan ?

King of sixers - Mathew Hayden

Suspended for all the matches of IPL???........:confused:

Hey you people who are cheering for CSK & KKR , watch out for RR , i am so happy that i supported this team & we would see how KKR fairs without the big names, though pointing is a big flop.

[x3060]

so will baji play todays match ?i hope to see sachin soon . .

[drgrudge]

Hey, do you really understand bengali?
Hehe, no. It was pretty obvious as to what they meant. I know Hindi (read, write and speak). Still I'm not sure if I replied correctly. :p

"ithuruthe" - apdi na enna?? [plz explain not able to follow:oops:]
Ok, did you see the movie Sivaji (Rajini's one)? There's a dialog: "Summa perra kettale athuruthela", which means, "You're shocked just by hearing the name [Sivaji]".

Likewise, I meant to say that our members are shocked/afraid/surprised just by hearing the name Chennai Super Kings. :twisted:

I'm not good in Tamil-English translation but tried my best...


Anyway, I think we need to have a IPL for Test matches so that RCB can be of any use. :lol:

[x3060]

yeah banglore is the worst . .

[abhi.eternal]

Mi: 154/7


EDIT: this match is going on mumbai, right? then why am i seeing the cheerleaders?!... anyways MI cheerleaders suck big time. look at their outfit. LOL...

just back from match [MI vs DC] ........it was totally crazy. :p:p:p
some notes.......
1>crowd went bananas, then i too joined in
2>noticed that i could hardly recognize the players on field, will take binoculars from next time
3>mumbai indians played like they usually do (ie like $hit), despite extraordinary crowd support in the first half....
4>watching the 10 sixes from gilchrist was the highlight of the day..... [and after one six, the ball went and hit one of the two LCD screens, leaving a huge patch of dead pixels:D hehe]

5>most importantly, i went becoz of the cheap 200rs ticket. only to realize that neither water nor food can be brought inside. you can only buy them in the stadium [at an extremely exorbitant price].
6>quantity of food sold was extremely limited anyway........ and 2Litre Pepsi was being sold at 200rs a bottle :shock::shock::shock:[thats what i heard]

7>now i am home at last starving, sleepy eyed and with a terrible headache due to the noise. But gilchrist made it very worthwhile.:D:D:D

[ancientrites]

I am looking forward for todays match bangalore vs chennai.COME ON BANGALORE

[Tech.Masti]

Mumbai ka haal toh bahut kharab hai, Sachin injured, Bhajji suspended, lose in four matches ........ What next ?
But Mumbai is most costly franchise in this tournament.

[x3060]

csk is going to win todays match for sure :-)

[DigitalDude]

[narangz]

Mods:I apologise for my comments and good thing it was edited.

Good.

[desiibond]

Looks like Bhajji's gonna get a minimum of 8 match ban which would rule him out of the IPL. What a shame!!!

[rockii_420]

Go CSK.....

[prashanth_4p]

In my view Not only Bhajji should suspended from IPL.. Even Sreeshant should get suspend from IPL. Fault is 50-50 from them.

Sreeshant will never learn how a professional and he don't have sportsman spirit. What a shame.

He is always fight in field, even with Indian's... A Black day in Indian Cricket history.

Let Sreeshant & Bhajji go to school and learn some discipline.:mad:

[rockii_420]

Tats absoluetly true Mr.Prashanth

[Pramit]

Hello guys, anyone of you playing fantasy game in cricinfo?
its at fantasy.cricinfo.com
game is ipl 2008

May be we should create a league and participate.
I registered late so missed 8 games but its a good game. i just scored many points with gillly yesterday ;)

[hawisback]

Let Sreeshant & Bhajji go to school and learn some discipline.:mad:

I dont find any fault in sreeshant... he just shows his agression... n there s nothin wrong in it... wat kind f game you want, wat professionalism r sportsman spirit u r talkin about man?? u want a bowler to come bowl and go is it??? and a batsman to bat and leave... if u hav played this game u shd know how important agression is... bajji was wrong he shd not hav slappd sree but sree i dont find ny fault in sree...

[praka123]

who's bhaji?he is a animal.he's got violent aggression before also.sreesanth is a kid!he just showed off,thinking himself as a Lion while he is a fox in reality :lol:
But my Sympathies for Sree.Poor guy!

guys,I searched utube for some clips,but nothing! :D

[hawisback]

hahaha nice try praka, even i tried for sm clips but :(, dint get nythin...

[praka123]

I am sure,ppl do have the clips..but anyways,going to try in orkut ;) 8)

[desiibond]

Man, this is ridiculous. Look at the news channels and news sites.

bhajji/sreesanth row is a minor issue that is being blown out of proportion by media

On the other hand, India launched record breaking 10 satellites into space and it has become a 30 second clip in news and one line news update in main pages.

Where are these f***ing news wallah's going.

Only NDTV is showing the ISRO launch as prime news and others as just news.

[eggman]

^^I dont have tv but the above condition is quite sad.

[desiibond]

^^I dont have tv but the above condition is quite sad.

Not just TV

check ibnlive.com, timesnow.tv. Look at what they are showing as blow up and search where the ISRO news is.

Next see ndtv.com.

Now, see aajtak.com, they even have breaking news as "Khali loses to Big Show (in WWE match)" and nowhere in the site did they mention about ISRO's launch.

F****ing lunatics.

[drgrudge]

Chennai now sports full strength side for the first (and the last) time in IPL. IMO, they shouldn't change the winning squad. Let Ntini and Morkel get the feel of IPL and join the ranks in the next match.

Hope CSK wins today's duel.

[shashank_re]

Todays will be a tough fight as Dale Steyb and Misbah Ul Haq joins Royal Challengers :-)

Go RC

[Pathik]

CSK will pawn the challengers.

[desiibond]

CSK is already struggling to play Steyn and Praveen Kumar. RCB should restrict CSK inside 150 to win the game. If CSK cross 160, it's game over.

[Dipen01]

lol as expected dhoni struggling in front of decent bowler.. The Batsman with no technique.

[prasad_den]

Dhoni and Hussey have set a good target for RC.. Lets see..!! :d

lol as expected dhoni struggling in front of decent bowler.. The Batsman with no technique.
:D :D You need no technique in T20... all you need is a good set of eyes and powerful arms.. like you saw dhoni do now..

[desiibond]

It's all over for RCB. Best score for them is 150 on this kind of pitch. Gonna be 4 out of 4 for CSK.

[prasad_den]

It's all over for RCB. Best score for them is 150 on this kind of pitch. Gonna be 4 out of 4 for CSK.
179 is a little more than what they expected as a target, but still I won't write them off so soon.. But the pitch does seem to assist bowlers a little bit..

[desiibond]

My heart says that I won't write them off and RCB will go ahead and win but my mind says that the target is just too much for them on a bouncy pitch.

[Dipen01]

Dhoni and Hussey have set a good target for RC.. Lets see..!! :d


:D :D You need no technique in T20... all you need is a good set of eyes and powerful arms.. like you saw dhoni do now..

I just despise that guy...I can stand watching him play, dunno why.. I dont recall even one classy stroke made by him say a good cover drive or whatever..

Well yeah given the circumstances it pays off as everyone is doing mindless hitting and even if run comes by faulty strokes.. it doesnt matter at runs are important..

so this is just my opinion... Anyways.. Bangalore has very little chance of winning this game as it is...

[gagandeep]

:D :D You need no technique in T20... all you need is a good set of eyes and powerful arms.. like you saw dhoni do now..
We actually need technique....Hitting technique which consists of right salection of shots on right balls if you want to play a long innings............:D

Otherwise, just simply slogging & power will also do -- like Dhoni.......

Edit:

What does Bangalore want Jaffer to do?? Sent him again for opening the innings......

[Dipen01]

Jaffer and Dravid Opening the Innings.. How worse can it get..

[desiibond]

**** that pathetic Jaffer who couldn't even touch the ball. YOu see entire crowd is boooing him. Well deserved. Just playing T20 like a test match. Ate entire over without scoring a run. Who the hell selected him.

2 matches 10 runs. average 5 strike rate 43.

now, taking the match away from RCB being in RCB. someone please get him out, for gods sake or he will make RCB score 60 runs in 20 overs.

and thanks to Jaffer, he got his partner out just because of the pressure that he created. Well done, Loser Jaffer. You deserve no place in T20.

[Dipen01]

lol.. poor chipli....Jaffer, Venugopal Rao etc.. they are not the ideal choice for t20

What a sixer by Ross Talyor :o i mean wow....

[desiibond]

that six should be awarded 10 runs. distace of 119mts. That almost double the distance most of the sixes went in this tourney.

[smit]

P kumar hitted shane warne a six, the six coverd 123 m of ditance the longest six in T20.

[desiibond]

ow. okay.

CSK bowling looks really really bad. What happened to them. Too many loose balls?

[drgrudge]

No way CSK can win this. The target was too low to defend successfully.

[gagandeep]

I take my words back.......Jaffer played really well today and he can play T20.........:D:D:D:D

[prasad_den]

Target was okay and defendable.. But too many loose balls in the first few overs..! CSK staring down the barrel of the gun right now....!!

[amd64_man2005]

csk over and out.. :D

[drgrudge]

Target was okay and defendable.. But too many loose balls in the first few overs..! CSK staring down the barrel of the gun right now....!!
I was talking wrt CSK's bowling attack. Their bowling is not good, so they need to compensate that with their batting which they failed to do so.

[amd64_man2005]

rahul scared to come out to bat..will only come out after the reqd run rate drops to less than 4.. :D

[desiibond]

Dravid out first ball. LOL.

Looks like it's all over now.

RCB gave 76 runs in last 4 overs and are they gonna go all out in last 4 overs?

between overs 15 and 18, RCB lost 5 wickets.

Now they need 25 in last two overs. 3 more wickets. Zaheer and Praveen.

Can they do it?

[amd64_man2005]

CSK ROCKS!!!!

have to say so..and dhoni is the king..no denying..

[gagandeep]

Lack of co-ordination and confidence = Royal Challengers Bangalore.......

[desiibond]

RCB: 165 all out

What a shame to lose 7 wickets in last five overs.

[Dipen01]

lol Royal Challengers are worst than Mumbai Indians... MI are plagued with badluck but Royal Challenger dont even deserve it :P

[gagandeep]

have to say so..and dhoni is the king..no denying..
I think Bangalore lost because of their own mistakes........

[confused]

Edit:

What does Bangalore want Jaffer to do?? Sent him again for opening the innings......
actually Dr.Vijay Mallya thinks IPL is based on the test format....hehe
thats why
jaffer, dravid, kumble are in the side .....

and what is mr.sunil joshi doing in IPL??? the last time i saw him play for INDIA the year was 1998.:p:p:p

[prasad_den]

:D :D :D :D CSK won...!! Thats unbelievable... All credit to RC.. they made it possible.

[confused]

lol Royal Challengers are worst than Mumbai Indians... MI are plagued with badluck but Royal Challenger dont even deserve it :Pi disagree... atleast RC got close to the target. they messed up in the end, but atleast game was open till the last three overs...

look are M "shitty" I, they lost the game by 10 wickets, and within the first 5 overs of the 2nd innings you knew who was going to win.:o:o

and what badluck for MI are you talking about??
let me guess, sachin's injury and bhajji's ban right??
i dont know about sachin, but bhajji's ban was his own fault ... you live by the gun, you die by the gun right:D:D:D.

[drgrudge]

Amazing match. I thought CSK would losers that too against RC but we rose to the occasion.

The next match for CSK (against Delhi) is at MAC, Chepauk. Chennai Super "The Unbeatable" Kings. :D


RCB is not that bad side. Only that we need to pick the best 11. Why didn't Chanderpaul didn't play? Why was Chipli playing?



amd64_man2005 -
Lol man. Why are you emotional? Changing siggies and all? Mark my words, KKR and CSK might play the finals. Punjab and Delhi will be the other [losing] semi finalists.

[Cool G5]

Can anyone upload KKR anthem?
I need it.
Not the youtube one it's quality is bad.

[confused]

@drgrudge - ok i watched first half of sivaji again. understood what u meant to say....... LOL. will watch last half later....

__________________
anyways, tomm KKR vs MI.
have to say, if u remove mccullum from KKR, their side looks very shaky.
and no ponting right?? thats a relief.
i think ganguly should come lower down the order.
hope chris gayle is fit and not only plays, but also opens with mccullum. their opening pair will be among the best in IPL.

[amd64_man2005]

ponting is playing his last match..mccullum may stay till may 10.. :D

[rockii_420]

Hurray... CSK wins
Thanks CSK for the Good cricket and great entertainment.
CSK proves tat they are Good fighters.
Keep it up for future matches and make as amazed.

[confused]

....... Mark my words, KKR and CSK might play the finals. Punjab and Delhi will be the other [losing] semi finalists.aren't you forgetting someone called "rajasthan royals":confused: :D:D:D

-------

and the next time MI and DC meet, it will be to decide 7th and 8th place in the IPL. LOL:D:D:D

[amd64_man2005]

RC proves that they are awesum chokers..any more chokers supporting rc??..i guess now the whole of bangalore will be supporting chennai... :D ..go chennai go..but please lose to KKR..

but whatever u sa guys..this dhoni has some luck..hope it stays tho...man!!..rc literally served the match to csk in a silver platter...

[smit]

I don't care what you guys say, i had supported Rajasthan Royals, i am supporting Rajasthan Royals & i will keep supporting Rajasthan Royals, unlike some of you guys i never change my sides & say other team will win even though our chance of winning is zero, win or lose i support Rajasthan Royals.

Rajasthan Royals will win the first IPL tournament , go Rajasthan Royals :D
( this kinda things really spice up the competition.)

[Gursimran]

Don't forget Kings XI Punjab

[confused]

ponting is playing his last match..mccullum may stay till may 10.. :Dno. read on cricinfo that mccullum too playing his last match today..... KKR in deep $#!T now.:(:(:( other than mccullum nobody seems to be able to play an explosive innings, which is essential to score 180+.

its upto david hussey and chris gayle now.:)

[smit]

chris gayle is injured & he will miss the whole IPL tournament that was in the news so everything is on Dada & david hussey for batting.

[desiibond]

chris gayle is not coming to play IPL. he has got the Austrlia series just around the corner.

For CSK, though Hayden departs, he will be replaced by even more explosive batsmane Hershelle Gibbs.

[prasad_den]

:D :D Just to rub salt to the injury....!!

A Test team in Twenty20 clothes (http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/current/story/347845.html)

About three overs into the Bangalore innings there was a grim suspicion - one which would come back to haunt them later in the evening - that Rahul Dravid had actually chosen a Test team looking as much like a Twenty20 franchise as the bearded women resemble men in The Life of Brian's stoning scene.

Bharat Chipli, seemingly the umpteenth opener tried by the Royal Challengers in their four matches, was being jeered by the Chinnaswamy faithful for failing to break Jacob Oram's shackles, while at the other end Wasim Jaffer was batting like a latterday Ken Barrington, apparently booking in for bed and breakfast.

[confused]

chris gayle is not coming to play IPL. he has got the Austrlia series just around the corner.dada said during last match's toss that chris gayle had arrived, but was not fit, and would start playing in a weeks time.:D:D:D

[smit]

For CSK, though Hayden departs, he will be replaced by even more explosive batsmane Hershelle Gibbs.

Big error here buddy Gibbs is in deccan chargers team , Flaming will replace hayden , so CSK 4 international players would be

Flaming, Muralitharan, Ntini, Morkel , so i think their batting will sucks flaming was never a big hitter like Gibbs or Hayden but he might play, anyway right now it seemes CSK batting will become weak, while their bowling might become strong but this isn't a bowler's game.

[desiibond]

damn.

@smit and @confused, I am really confused. My bad. :)

so, symonds will be replaced by Gibbs. Right?

[smit]

Yeah, but about chris gayle i don't know every news channel is saying he won't play for the whole IPL, but now i think we should see if Chris gayle plays today's match or not.

[hawisback]

Yeah, but about chris gayle i don't know every news channel is saying he won't play for the whole IPL, but now i think we should see if Chris gayle plays today's match or not.
so that means all the aussie playes left... is it???:confused:

is maccullum playing today's match??

[amd64_man2005]

yea..its gonna be a real tough match..mumbai indians will jump like a wounded tiger now..lets c and hope for the best..good thing srk is here...

gayle will not play..brad hodge will come as a replacement..mccullum has asked permission to skip the two friendly matches in england...and he will play todays match...

[drgrudge]

It's CSK that'll be affected the most from the international players leaving for their national side commitment. Dunno if we can sustain the momentum, let's see if they're getting replacements or Indian players rise to the occasion.

[amd64_man2005]

btw drgrudge...dont mind..but ont u think the king of sixers should go to mccullum for a change..he 15 till date as i can remember...and hopelly 20 more today...

[rockii_420]

i hope Mumbai Indians do well today...
if sachin is thr, they can get some moral support
All the best MI...

[prasad_den]

i hope Mumbai Indians do well today...
if sachin is thr, they can get some moral support
All the best MI...
Am sorry to break the news, :D but sachin has other plans.. He wants to stay injured and in the dressing room, but still earn his share of the revenue... :D :D :D
I just wish some other players like dravid, laxman, etc. took the cue from Sachin and stayed in the sidelines.. At least some local heroes might get a chance... :D

[drgrudge]

MI is getting hopeless by the day. If they lose today, it's almost out and over in the IPL.

I want MI to win, but KKR has a balanced side and they'll pwn MI.

[amd64_man2005]

hey dr...please..dont make predictions..most of them turn out wrong...and i dont want any ill omens before the kkr match today... :|

[drgrudge]

^^
:p Only 2 of my predictions were wrong. Got it right for over 7-8 times. :p

[neelu09]

KKR wins the toss will bat first. No gayle and sachin. I think KKR will win.

[Pathik]

My predictions are always right.
KKR will win today.
CSK vs KKR in the finals. CSK takes the Cup.

[smit]

Right , god pathik knows everything, i guess we should go tell the other teams , that they should stop practicing & enjoy themselves, God pathik already know who will be playing the finale & who will win the first IPL championship, this just sucks, i wish there were less gods on earth this days, now i don't need to watch IPL anymore.

[Pathik]

^chill man. I just said that most of my predictions were right till now. (maybe i mis-chose my words.) what i meant that there is a high probability of the above two things happening.
Peace.

[Cool G5]

KKR 6/2 in 1 overs
Dada & Mccullum gone. :D

[smit]

i just get pumpup sometimes, anyway very good start by MI.

[Pathik]

BTW I am a Mumbaite. I wd be the happiest if MI wins. Great start by MI. btw guys is there some jhol with the score tickers?

[drgrudge]

How much Wicket Keeper do KKR have? McCullum, Saha, Taibu (what happened to him?) and this Debrata Das (who's batting very well)...

KKR don't need Cheerleaders around. SRK is enough. :D

[gagandeep]

The 2nd team which I'm supporting is Mumbai.....

Hope they win today......

[Pathik]

Btw my mid-dictions tell that MI may win today. :D

[gagandeep]

Btw my mid-dictions tell that MI may win today. :D
MI are doing a great job in restricting the Run Rate of KKR.....

[drgrudge]

The 2nd team which I'm supporting is Mumbai.....

Hope they win today......
The second team I support is KKR and hope they win. :D

[Gursimran]

Yeah....Mumbai will win!

[smit]

I am actually supporting Rajasthan Royals, but i hope we could see good match today.

[Pathik]

Now just if hussey goes.

[confused]

KKR 6/2 in 1 overs
Dada & Mccullum gone.dada not playing T20 well. even 15 days back demolished SA. now really struggling.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

[smit]

MI going strong that's a good thing.

[Pathik]

3 cheers for MI.
Today might be the most exhilarating win for MI
and the most humiliating defeat for KKR.

[prasad_den]

KKR putting something respectable in the scorecard... :)

[amd64_man2005]

crap...ponting is at his best when he scores a duck...and dada is at at his best when he comes down the order..after ishant that is...in t20s mind u...

[mehulved]

3 cheers for MI.
Today might be the most exhilarating win for MI
and the most humiliating defeat for KKR.
You never know. Both Indians and Mumbai'ites are known to do badly on this ground. With that I hope Ajit Agarkar gives 60-70 runs off his 4 overs.

[Dipen01]

Why is Ganguly not on the field..?

Edit :- Yeah hes there.. actually all the discussions with bowlers were being done by Ricky Ponting so i thought he is out..

[Pathik]

MI come on! Everything on Uthappa now.

[bharat_r]

Any Banglore RC fans? LOL...It's a test team in a T20 outfit(source cricinfo) :lol: :lol:

[Pathik]

Duniya hila denge Indians.

[amd64_man2005]

this is crap stuff by KKR...these so called senior players are ruining the team...thankfully ponting is not playing the next match..and dada will hopefull bat lower down the order from now on...i dont see any hope for kolkata now qualifying for the semis...

[Pathik]

Woohoo!! Mumbai Indians Win.

[bharat_r]

Good to see MI win...their 1st win the the tournament..

[smit]

See no knows who will go to semis, great match, i still suppot RR !!, but great perfomance by MI today.

[gagandeep]

The second team I support is KKR and hope they win. :D
lol..:lol:

Your another prediction went wrong......:D:D:D:D

Go MI go......

I want to see Mumbai vs Delhi Final......;)

[drgrudge]

^^
In your dreams. :p I still believe Chennai and Kolkata will play the finals (and Chennai will win). :D


P.S: I didn't predict today's match outcome. I hoped and felt KKR will win. My 7-2 records still is intact. :p

[smit]

Sure, in your dreams :D don't know who will play the finales but i believe RR will win this IPL tournament.

[gagandeep]

See no knows who will go to semis, great match, i still suppot RR !!, but great perfomance by MI today.
Many people are just supporting KKR and CSK just because they're stronger....
There are genuinely very few people who are supporting them because of their locality or any other valid reason......(See the poll: We can't have such huge differentiation in the votes)

And it is good that you're supporting RR....

I'm supporting DD and MI......

^^
In your dreams. :p I still believe Chennai and Kolkata will play the finals (and Chennai will win). :D

Yeah...In my dreams.......;)

Edit: Did I say that they'll get to the Final?? Did I...I just said that Mumbai vs Delhi is my choice of the Final.....;)

Yesterday CSK won not becuse they played good, just because Bangalore played bad in the end......

So, no-one can judge the outcome of the matches.....

[smit]

i think they will be defeated by RR, there match is on may 1st , they lost to chennai & one to mumbai.

[amd64_man2005]

when did rajastha defeat kolkata?? :O

[gagandeep]

i think they will be defeated by RR, there match is on may 1st , they lost to chennai & one to mumbai.

This is only called as PREDICTING......(Hoping & Feeling).......:p:p:p:p:p

when did rajastha defeat kolkata?? :O
Post Edited
If not, they'll defeat. I don't want to see only one team ruling the league. The league should be bitterly competed......:D

[amd64_man2005]

twice the batting failed...mccullum and dada out early..then ponting..and then the whole middle order is under pressure...thankfully ponting is going home..butwe have to replace mccullum with someone who will give us a slid start..its not hapenning with saurav anymore...

[drgrudge]

Sure, in your dreams :D don't know who will play the finales but i believe RR will win this IPL tournament.
Of course in my dreams, I didn't meant it seriously. Hoping my dream would become a reality one day.


Many people are just supporting KKR and CSK just because they're stronger....

Except pathik and x3060, the rest of the guys who voted for CSK were from Chennai/Tamil Nadu.

It's KKR who garnered votes from 'others'.

Yesterday CSK won not becuse they played good, just because Bangalore played bad in the end......
True. We won 4 matches. 3 of them were tight finishes except against KKR. We don't have much local players playing for CSK (only Amarnath & Badri) and we're loosing Hayden, Hussey and Oram.

Also think about this. It's not only they way we came back during bowling, even when we were batting, RC were in control. We didn't even score 75 runs in first 11 overs.

We batted well after the initial slow down, we bowled well after RC were cruising, and in the end we won the match. The stuffs champions are made off.

This is only called as PREDICTING......(Hoping & Feeling).......:p:p:p:p:p
No, it's my prediction only when I post "Tomorrow's match Prediction" or "Today's match Prediction" in bold. :p

It was just a feeling today. :p


P.S: Delhi and Bangalore are playing tomorrow. Anyone want me to predict the outcome? :twisted:

[Pathik]

I think CSK should win.
Though deep in my heart, I would be happier if MI wins.
And with Sachin coming in the next match, that seems possible. Remotely though.

[amd64_man2005]

CSK now without oram,hussey and hayden..in comes fleming and morkel..

[smit]

yeah let's see CSK win without this three Man of the Match players, BTW morkel's bowling sucked in the last match & by looking how old players are having a hard time playing IPL T20, i think CSK will have big blow in their batting lineup, so anyway it will interesting to see how they manage their team.

[hawisback]

dude CSK now over.... they won wit all the aussies wit thm... now its rather very difficult for Dhoni's 11 to beat ny f the teams...
Now u see the teams Rajasthan royals r d strongest.... they hav all d oldies n all performing well... today i think delhi devils will win (again all depends how sehwag plays).... if sehwag s out early banglore will have a chance.... lets c wat happens....

[krazzy]

Yay! MI won. I should put their name back in my siggy which I removed when they lost the fourth match :p.

[Cool G5]

Finally MI started there account.
Was good to see them crushing KKR. :))
Hope they continue there good form in the upcoming matches.
Go Mumbai Indians - Duniya ko hila do. :)

didnt u notice last match both hayden & hussey struggled and get no respectable runs for the team but still csk managed to reach around 180.

Now that tells all you dreamers how csk can perform independent on any player. We(CSK) still have explosive players in the means of dhoni, raina, badrinath,etc

[smit]

Hussey scored 47 in the last match, & the last match was against RC, Oram bowled superbly, if hussey was not there , dhoni had to play the game slowly so there wickets don't fall fast, this is the way most people play T20, in the one end a players scores slowly & in the other end one players scores fast, so saying Hussey struggled is a joke, they would have lost the match without hussey, yeah dhoni can hit the bowl but a team also needs someone who can be their for 20 overs & scores runs as well.

[gagandeep]

Just leaving for Delhi in an hour for watching the Bangalore vs Delhi match at Feroz Shah Kotla......:D I know the match will start @ 8pm but I'm leaving early......

[rockii_420]

Hi smit , u have rights to criticise any thing..
But being a die hard fan of chennai super kings,
i strongly believe CSK have the right spirit to
do well and make us enjoy IPL festival.
V support CSK...
All the best for other teams also, to make us enjoy the
cricket.
I hope Bangalore to win today's match with Delhi.

Thanks

[axxo]

..ops..got confused with MI match..where he scored 5 runs. But still cant agree with ur points that without hussey csk wouldve lost. CSK is well balanced even in absence of hussey and hayden except for the bowl dept.

[davinci]

KKR just sucks man.Their performance was awful in da field.Cant believe KKR lost to MI.Da team which used to top da league table was crushd by da team gracing da lowest position in da league table.I have a feeling dat da match could hav been fixd as KKR suckd in batting,bowling n fielding at the same time is pretty unlikely.Even dadas captaincy was horrible.

My be we should sing da new KKR anthem-
Harne aye hai,harke jayenge,
hum unse nahi joki jeet payenge,
too hot (too hot),too chor (too chor),
sala kolkata ghushkhor.

felbo catch harbo re,felbo catch re,harbo reee
harbo re

Kolkata Knight Riders:-

Won the first match wonderfully. :))
Won the Second Match but the chance of losing was still there. :-x
Loose the Third Match. :-x
Loose the Fourth Match. :-x

KKR just sucks man.


King of sixers - Mathew Hayden
King of doosra - Muralitharan
King of T20 - M S Dhoni
King of IPL - Chennai "The Unbeatable" Super Kings

Technical Problems. They can't figure whether to plug in the red or black wire:D

[Dipen01]

Seems like theres technical fault..
even Cricinfo isnt updating the data,,,

[drgrudge]

^^
IS cricinfo updating from watching the matches on TV? :D Or did they stop the match also?

[neelu09]

^^the match was stopped. it has started now.

[Dipen01]

lol nah just started... as in only Cricinfo.. cant see any broadcast at any live stream :o

Just peeked at TV's in my opposite building... None of them are watching match.. Tha means its not getting broadcasted :P

[drgrudge]

Is there any way of changing poll which I voted ?
Mods/Admins can change. :D We can a extra vote to the team you want to vote and take one from where you voted (but your name will remain in your original vote).

Anyways bangalore is going to loose one more match :-( All thanks to Dravid for bowling first even after winning toss ON BATTING PITCH!

[Dipen01]

Shikhar Dhawan and Gambhir are backbone for Delhi Devils.. The best thing that could have happened to them :D

Sehwag is moody.. When he gets going , no-one can stop him but more often than not, he gives up his wicket early..

I recall seeing couple of firstclass matches of Dhawan and he is tenchnically sound similar to Gambhir... He must be a good contender for Indian ODI team..

[Ankur Gupta]

What a horrible Picture clarity.

+1

[drgrudge]

Seems to be a tight match. I think RCB might win today...

[Tech.Masti]

they even rarely using Hawk-eye technology to show TV viewers
ESPN-STAR or Z is far better,

[Dipen01]

The Video Quality of ESPN Star is far better than these non sports channel...

[confused]

Mumbai Indians - Duniya ko hila do. :)havent they already done this?? .... (i mean their abysmal performance really shocked me)

[shashank_re]

Bangalore again lost a close match :-(

[confused]

Seems to be a tight match. I think RCB might win today...
nope. boucher started the six hitting one over too late.
_____
but reaching 180 is commendable indeed, for a test team that is!!:lol:
and dravid scored 40. congrats to him too.

_____
btw during the break, katrina kaif gave a cameo on extra innings, and she said something like: " blah ..... there is no need to mention that cricket has a great following in OUR country ....."

i thought she is a britisher, then how did india become HER country???:p:p:p

[Tech.Masti]

^^Salman se saadi kar rahe hai na, toh uski husband ki matlab uski hai na??

^^Salman se saadi kar rahe hai na,really?:confused: had no idea


BTW - why is cricinfo posting filed test/odi images of players when reffering to them in IPL related news articles/pages.:lol::lol::lol:

[Tech.Masti]

^^ i also noticed it :(

[amd64_man2005]

bcos websites have to buy the pics from a source and dont have rights to post pics from any other newspaper source..so thats the cause..cricinfo is a kanjus.. :D

[confused]

^^isnt there a free limit of some 4 images??

[gagandeep]

Back from Feroz Shah Kotla and I'm happy that Delhi won.

India has always won the matches which I've seen at Kotla......and Delhi is also doing the same. I'm happy that my 100% record is maintained.....:D :p

I had also gone to see the match in which Kumble took 10 wickets but I was just 4 years old.......;)

[confused]

^^seems like u have seen a lot of live (ie, at the stadium) matches.

not same with me.
i have watched only one day of a test match(ind vs sa, at wankhede, just b4 match fixing scandal, india lost in 4 days), and one IPL T20.

hope to watch a couple more IPL T20s.
MI vs CSK (to watch strongest team in action)
MI vs KKR (to watch favourite team in action)

[amd64_man2005]

^^no free limit watsoevr for websites..for newspapers..yes

[drgrudge]

Seems KKR are going to be royally thrashed.


By the way, saw Riya Sen ( I love her :twisted:) and yesterday saw Katrina Kaif. There was a placard in the first match: "I'm here to see the cheerleaders"; but I need to have: "I'm here to ogle at the brand ambassadors"

[Pathik]

I used to like Riya Sen too. But then some infamous video came up. :p

[Dipen01]

One formula seems to be working at IPL and that is Youngsters... The teams playing senior cricketers are losing big time..

As senior cricketer cant hit every ball for a six.. I am kinda starting to get bored as Kolkota, Bangalore and Mumbai are losing :|

[drgrudge]

I used to like Riya Sen too. But then some infamous video came up. :p
It's ok yaar. She's super hot than many of the Bollywood babes. Infamous video came up wrt Kareena too. **** me, she can't even kiss properly.

[axxo]

too pitty...KKR lost another match.

now They should really consider renaming their team to Bicycle riders not knight riders. :D

[smit]

GO RR ! as i said before at end of tournament , RR will give many young cricketers that do great things for india, GO RR , even though their main players didn't play, the youngsters did their job.

[Pathik]

Muhahahaha.. KKR royally screwed up. :D
@grudgy, Kareena's was atleast slightly watchable..
Riya's was completely yaaaarrkkyyy..

[amd64_man2005]

kkr sucks big time... this is heights...ganguly really sucked....no reason to hit such a shot...and the whole kkr team is in shamble..someone needs to do something about it..i personally believe they need one match to get it goin....

[Pathik]

Yea. After all the hype (and the first match), I never thought that they will come down like this.

[drgrudge]

KKR's cup of Woes:
1. Batting failure (even in the 1st match only McCullum played well)
2. Lose of McCullum and Pointing.
3. Absence of Gayle, Taibu and Aktar.


RR is back at number 2 in the points table. They seem to be the team to beat....

[Pathik]

Actually losing Ponting is a great positive.

[amd64_man2005]

@drgrudge-its ponting ;)..and i dont think ponting would hae added much shade to the team...its a batting failure and the earlier they get rid of it the better..we need a good start..whatever the case...

[neelu09]

When will the highlights be shown?? Damn i missed the match. Good win for RR as it included major contribution from Indians.

[s18000rpm]

LOOOOOOOOL

RR thrashed KKR

CSK stayed cool from the start:p, no hype, just ownage.

VVS is playing some nice shots.

SHANE WARNE IS THE BIGGEST **** IN WORLD CRICKET!!!

Just check the news guys..he is claming that grameme smith caught the catch and saurav doesnt have any soportsman spirit..when the third umpire gave him not out we should question graeme smiths spirit now..coming from a team which had a fixer like hansie cronje..and from a captain like shane warne who was banned for a year due to drug use..how can he point fingers at someone when he is himself at fault...this is rubbish..this man needs to be taught somehting..i am with KKR now..

we rock it..and when rajastha comes to play us at eden..we will be there for shane warne..just pray that he comes back alive..JYA KOLKATA JAY SAURAV...**** ON SHANE THE DRUG-ADDICT

Did you watch the match, do you know why ganguly was given not out, you believe in indian media ? LOL, aaj tak you believe in that crap. ganguly was not given out because limited use of technology so he was given not out because of doubt, you guys say Aaj tak sucks now you start believing them unbelieveable.

Now Wrane was stupid to tell this in media now will start hating since many indians see ganguly as a god, i think he shouldn't have spoken it would have been better.

People like you should learn that even ganguly isn't a saint nor shane warne for that matter, don't be so biased about indians, open your eyes, our media will only tell one side of the story.

Rohit Sharma is a good player with a nice technique. He is definitely going to be a great player.........He is getting better & better

Yusuf Pathan should be given a chance in the ODIs.......He is also good and moreover he can bowl too.


RR is back at number 2 in the points table. They seem to be the team to beat....
Lets see.........

BTW Delhi Daredevils are also going good.........:twisted:

dude..do u have any proof tht ganguly was out??..do u remeber the sydney case whn ganguly was given out by pontings word and when the catch had been dropped...i am not hampering on ganguly.and ganguly had every right to ask the umpire if he had caught it cleanly.....if the umpire had enough balls he would have told ganguly that it was out and he should walk his ground....

and btw dude..sell that broken tv of yours that shows only aaj tak and switch to ndtv,times or headlines..evry player in the cricketing fraternity is saying tht ganguly was right...warne is a loser...he doesnt have any proof watsoevr and he is trying to revice the sydney controversy...

Again did you see that part of the match, if not try to get video of that part, he was not given out because limited use of technology , you know how upmpire always favour the bastman so the third umpire wasn't right

Sure, all are indian media & i think only india today network has showed this story (Aaj tak, Headlines today) , again don't believe me, don't believe the media but get the video & listen to what commentors are saying , A doubt that was in favour of batsman, Warne is loser sure..no comments on it, it won't change your mind i will just waste my time.

SHANE WARNE IS THE BIGGEST **** IN WORLD CRICKET!!!

Just check the news guys..he is claming that grameme smith caught the catch and saurav doesnt have any soportsman spirit..when the third umpire gave him not out we should question graeme smiths spirit now..coming from a team which had a fixer like hansie cronje..and from a captain like shane warne who was banned for a year due to drug use..how can he point fingers at someone when he is himself at fault...this is rubbish..this man needs to be taught somehting..i am with KKR now..
I saw the match fully. Smith took the catch. The 3rd umpire is an *******.

1. It was a clean catch. The commentators were also saying the same. With the zoom cameras, we could see that his fingers touched the ground, not the ball.
2. After Ganguly was caught, he was 'telling' the umpire that the ball might have touched the ground. He has no right to 'talk' to umpire on such issues. The umpires/fielders should decide if they want to refer to the 3rd umpire. The batsmen should STFU.


Anyway KKR were royally screwed and outplayed by a better team.

we rock it..and when rajastha comes to play us at eden..we will be there for shane warne..just pray that he comes back alive..JYA KOLKATA JAY SAURAV...**** ON SHANE THE DRUG-ADDICT
lol, what's up with you? CSK screwed KKR, you're telling: "Come to Eden Garden". RR screwed KKR, you're telling: "Come to Eden Garden". How about MI which screwed KKR? "We'll come to D Y Patil/Wankede and we'll get screwed!" :lol:

[rockii_420]

congrats rajasthan royals....
KKR sucks one more time....
KKR team is boring always, other than kolkota no one supports
KKR.

drgrudge @ thanks stating the truth , i was worried i would get out numbered by many dada's fan, anyway i would hope this thing ends as fast as possible, i want to enjoy IPL more not things like these. true Warne isn't saint, but he wasn't wrong in this particular thing.

[amd64_man2005]

end of the day..saurav was given not out by the third umpire..and if kkr team issues a complaint against shane warne was using such comments..shane warne will be in serious trouble.Oh..as a matter of fact i feel the ball touched the ground and saurav had evry right to ask the third umpire..after what happened at sydney..i doubt even shane warne would have taken graeme smith's or anyone's view for that matter if it had been him in saurav's place...okk..sure kkr lost...storm is just round the corner..whole of kolkata is now beside KKR...god save the teams coming to play at eden noe..

IPL IS PROVING DISASTROUS FOR INDIAN CRICKET...

[drgrudge]

^^
Yeah yeah, we'll see. CSK, RR and DD are yet to play at Eden gardens.

IPL is good for Indian Cricket.

[gaurav_indian]

lol, what's up with you? CSK screwed KKR, you're telling: "Come to Eden Garden". RR screwed KKR, you're telling: "Come to Eden Garden". How about MI which screwed KKR? "We'll come to D Y Patil/Wankede and we'll get screwed!" :lol:
Yet you were the one who was predicting CSK and KKR final? :lol:


And yes ganguly had every right to call for third umpire.I think this is not the first time we guys are seeing it in world cricket?
What Shane Warne said in a post match interview was just a case of frustration.
But what that stupid @#$@ Umar Gul said in an interview was useless.Now he will tell ganguly how to captain a team?Just becoz he got 3 wickets?
I hope Ganguly kicks his a**.
And i am not a die hard ganguly fan.But whats wrong is wrong.

And yes KKR wont reach semi finals.:p

IPL is good for indian cricket since it gives young talent a chance to perform with very good players from around the world.
