The official IPL Thread

[axxo]

currently KKR is stronger than CSK...although i would prefer CSK to win today...KKR has got more chance of winning todays match.

Seeing Mi vs KKR highlights. LOL

:D that match itself will bea highlight...

[amd64_man2005]

^^^for kolkata hussey and ganguly have to fire..and the bowleers need to fire..ishant has not been a revelation any longer...i m going to eden for the match..hope me and srk bring some gud luck..lol

[davinci]

Hey Guys just got some inside news: All matches in IPL are fixed. And you know who is reponsible for the rigging? Yes that's right it's Mukesh Ambani. Don't be surprised to find mumbai indians, the dark horses reaching the finals.

even my friend told me da same thing.he said da final would b mi vs kkr.lets c what happens.

[superking]

if we win tomorrow..we will be in real close contention..we can even kick csk off... :D

best of luck to us..hope we click..




lol..very interesting mate...all the best

India starts winning international matches ppl start saying fixing hai, MI starts winning evey1 starts saying fixing.

did any of u guys even see shahrukh's face when they the kkr was annihilated :rolleyes: sure didn't make for 1 that would suggest fixing

[superking]

CSK ROCKS..... :D :D first team to score below 100 batting first..u rock CSK..go for it...i am with u.. :D



hahahahahahahahahahaha....look who has said this...when they themselves cant make 70.lol:D:D:D.... KKR rocks yeaahhhh..

and for ur kind information 109 is not below hundred..guess u have difficulties in learning maths...go for tuitions dude:D:D

[drgrudge]

Got to love Kolkata. Pin drop silence!

Interestingly, MS D (Yam Yes Dhoni from Chennai) is fielding. Hope we can get a few wickets so that Dhnoi bhaiya can also bowl. :D

[superking]

wow dada's middle stump is missing.....thanks MR.amd to bring some luck to dada by goin to watch the match

[smit]

dada does it again, great ball from ntini

[desiibond]

150 runs to chase. It's a tempting target and confusing one too. Let's see what Dhoni's team can do. If they can see off Akhtar, the game will be safely in their hands

[prasad_den]

CSK won by DL method...!! Not really the way one would like to win, but still they would have done so, had the match gone for the entire length.. :) And I feel the catch dropped by Dinda was very crucial, at hindsight.. Probably the equation would have been different if CSK were at 55/1 at the end..

If they can see off Akhtar, the game will be safely in their hands
And thats what they did... See off Akhtar and I.Sharma.. Once they managed to get off the first 4 overs without losing a wicket, the game was theirs..

[amd64_man2005]

just came back from eden...our ipl is over..best of luck to the four semifinalists..there no way now that DD or KKR can make it to the semis...

[prasad_den]

Must have been quite a storm over there...!! How was the experience..?

[Cool G5]

Mumbai Indians put a target of 179 for Deccan chargers.
Still defendable, let's see.
MI must make early breakthroughs to win this one.

[Dipen01]

Yeah today was very disappointing day...

Dada's team losing , Although now i am convinced that they don't deserve the place in Semis.. Worst Batting lineup and Bowling didnt click today... Theres not a single batsman that can be relied upon in every match... Dada clicked for 2 matches out of 11.. Hussey clicked for 2 out of 11... Bowling saved us rest of the matches.. Nothing extraordinary.. Seems like Pakistani Team..

Federer squandering 5-1 lead in first set and same 5-1 in 2nd set losing first set and luckily winning second one , just to lose the 3rd one.... Very tight match but I'd say Federer gave up all his advantage.. Anyways.. Best man won..

and finally India losing to Argentina in Hockey finals.. Just wen we thought that India is doing steady progress in Hockey, we had to lose this one :|

[desiibond]

looks impossible now for DC to win. 100 runs to make in just 7 overs. 6 more wickets left. uphill task.

[iMav]

heheheh hohoho lalalala Mumbai on a roll :twisted: bring it on

but it's bad news, bravo is gonna leave :(

[smit]

Looks like two more teams will now play for pride !

[desiibond]

it's all over :)

one more team (KKR) joins DC and RCB to play for pride :)

[iMav]

the vada pav just kiced the living hell out of the biryani :D

[confused]

just came back from eden...our ipl is over..best of luck to the four semifinalists..there no way now that DD or KKR can make it to the semis...cmon, lets have some hope. maybe 3 of 3 wins and KKR may reach semis. keeping fingers crossed.......

but have to say KKR is the most inconsistent team in the IPL.:(
DC and RBC are consistently losing,
RR and KXI are consistently winning,
while MI has had a stunning change of fortune...

[amd64_man2005]

lol...KKR and DC were the ones with winning streaks at the top..but came plumetting down...

if anyone wants to have a look at the pics..

http://flickr.com/photos/22704892@N04/

yea..we do have an outside chance...but MI is sure for the finals now with one match less and 2 points ahead of KKR...

[drgrudge]

Till yesterday none of the semis berth were booked and now almost 3 spots are taken.

[amd64_man2005]

dinda lost the match for us....if the catch would have been taken..we would have won it acc to duckworth lewis...

Nice A$$es ! I know the reason.

[Roadripper]

Its almost impossible for dada s teeam to reach semis unless they win al the threee ...I am keeping ma fingers crossed...:confused::(:(

[desiibond]

guys, ICC gave warning to SRK that he should not enter team's dressing room and team's dug up until the end of match.

[jxcess2]

Hey kiddo, u seem to be new to this business of match fixing. First of all, shahrukh khan is a film actor. the expression u saw on his face was most probably frm one of his stupid films where he gets awards for overacting. Secondly, if u r big enuf to read & understand the news, u will know that marlon samuels, the west indian cricketer has recently been banned for match fixing. So if one can do it, why can't the rest?

Here is some inside news: Punjab or Chennai will win the cup. So don't waste time on placing ur bets!

[anispace]

WTF?..SRKs got loads of money. why would he get into such scams and spoil his reputation? seems stupid.

yeah sharukh khan doesn't need to get involved in betting. he has loads of money. I was just playing with imav. But some low profile players specially frm india, sri lanka, south africa and west indies are definitely involved.

Indians surely ll be involved... bet on thth...:D:D:p

[smit]

So MI will reach the finals , either CSK or KX11 will win the cup, so RR will lose, the future is already told, cool & wow do you think we forum members bet money on cricket match , just Wow.

[digitized]

^^^No, MI will beat CSK to win the cup.:D. KXI and RR will be the other semi-finalists.:D

[iMav]

Hey kiddo i would taken ur case in less than 30 seconds for calling me names, but considering the history of the thread i wont ;) be careful of what u say next time.

some ppl here are really weird and funny, i heard them talking today, at one time they say MI will win, then they says punjab, i wonder what are they? Anil ambani's peon :lol: or preity's secretary or dhoni's :lol:

[axxo]

90% of the chance are that KKR will be winner if and only they reach semis.

Now if that ruled MI get 60% chance..remaining 40% will be in favour of csk..bcause in ICL T20(Indian cricket league) chennai super stars emerged as the winner in the final...may be IPL would have fixed/formated the league to happen a similar thing so as to give CSK the title...just a prediction.

[smit]

Lol , what is this some say MI will win, CSK will take the title, KKR will win if they get to the semis, don't forget about RR like the beginning, as a true supporter of RR i am with them like 9 other person on the forum, Go RR & bring the cup for the people jaipur, i am sure the IPL cup will bring joy to the sad people of jaipur because of the bomb blasts.

So u don't like me calling u "kiddo"? Keep this in mind when u call someone cheap the next time. As for match fixing, it's true. One of my friends who is involved in betting was able to accurately predict the result just mins before each and every match. Thats what made me believe the matches are fixed. U can chose not to believe, I really don't care.

KKR r bad in form thse days ... if they enter semis they hava chance...bt favourites are RR and MI:);)

[Cool G5]

Delhi thrashing Bangalore.
90 runs in 6.5 overs.

[confused]

actually IPL should be called InPL = Indian Non-Predictable League.
everyone writes off MI (including yours truly) suddenly they win 7 matches in a row.
everyone says KKR are favourites after first couple of matches, and then they keep getting pwned.......:(

btw - why isnt this thread sticky yet?

[Cool G5]

^There is no need of sticky.
After IPL get's over this thread will get dead. :))

[mehulved]

bcause in ICL T20(Indian cricket league) chennai super stars emerged as the winner in the final.
Wasn't it hyderabad that beat chennai in semis and lahore in finals?

[drgrudge]

^^
He meant in the inaugural year. This year we were placed 3rd.

[gagandeep]

Delhi thrashing Bangalore.
90 runs in 6.5 overs.
When Sehwag and Gambhir get going,they can really thrash the opponents hard....

They're the leading run scorers in the IPL.....

[prasad_den]

Looks like its game, set and match over for KKR.. Staring down the barrel right now at 96/4 after 15 overs..! Only a miracle can resue them now.

[axxo]

well..dream over for KKR.

[smit]

RR won !!! wooo, KKR's IPL is over i think, Hope KKR enjoyed their stay , anyway good luck to RR for the semis.

[ratedrsuperstar]

woohooooooo RR win.MI and RR definitely set for finals

[Dipen01]

Finally i dont feel disappointed even if KKR lost..:p

They just dont deserve to be there.. useless Pakistani team.. No good batsmen.. No Parternships.. No consistent wickettakers.. what do they expect..

Go MI :D

[confused]

^^chameleon?? :D

anyway, my IPL seems over too. will have to search new avatar... :(

[abhi.eternal]

was shoaib injured? why dint KKR played him?

[drgrudge]

^^
Didn't you see him bowling in the CSK match? When he was just abt to bowl his first ball, got into a snag. He left the field after 4 overs.


RR in semis. KXP, CSK, MI and DD to battle out for the remaining 3 slots.

Hope CSK wins the IPL. :D

[Dipen01]

^^chameleon?? :D

anyway, my IPL seems over too. will have to search new avatar... :(

Na re not chameleon... I was cheering KKR for the only reason of Ganguly.. and been disappointed in every innings except 91.. Even his other 50 was pathetic.. I mean they don't have a single decent hitter for first 6 overs.. Always end up losing 2/3 wickets in Powerplay and they barely touch the 6rpo even when Powerplay is over. After that its only catchup till 15ovrs with the hope of touching 140-150.. Its kinda thier habit now..

IMO the biggest loss of KKR was absence of Gayle and Shoaib.. We all know Gayle belongs to league of Sehwag and Jaya who can change the course of the match. Its would have mattered big time for KKR who have struggled with thier opening combo whole season..

Now other decent players are in MI - Pollock,Sachin and Jaya.. (Although i hate Uthappa)
Besides i am in Pune :p so i was expected to cheer MI from beginning lol..

Anyways.. i hope there are serious changes at the end of this year for Bangalore and Kolkota both.. I won't mind if Ganguly and/or Dravid is even kicked out now.. Both the teams need Captains with aggressive bowling/batting and not just agressive behaviour.

[amd64_man2005]

^^^we seriosuly cant blame ganguly for anything...with the batting line up we have...if ganguly goes in the frst 10 overs we dont evn manage a score of 150..so u can see how important he is..so he tries to keep his wicket without really charging for it..and he can up the anti in the last 10 overs..we really need some good batsmen if we are to go anywhere in the tournament next year..m always a KKR..noun can change it..luck has totally been against us..we hit the stumps when its not needed..yesterday...bunk..

and if u have to..kick sachin and axman out too..of the icon players saurav is the most succesful..more than 250 runs and 6 wickets...

[smit]

First of Sachin has only played 3 matches, so don't jump guns there. second don't justify your loss with bad luck, KKR lost because they sucked, they didn't play well , accept it, no CSK, KX11 , RR,& MI fan came here & blame luck for there defeat, also stop defending Dada, your fellow Kolkatans are saying his captainship sucks on the news channel (NDTV right now), the first thing is KKR isn't like a team, 5 out of 4 matches have been won by individual efforts unlike CSK or RR for that matter.

So if you are true fan take the defeat like a man & don't blame it to luck like loser & i hope KKR will do better in the next IPL.

[ratedrsuperstar]

anyone can help me find the press conference which takes place after each match and the live scoreboard w/o any clutters and compatible in opera.

[Dipen01]

@amd :-

Actually i have been Ganguly fan since very beginning as in when he came back for 2nd time with Dravid.. He hit his peak in early 2000's but since last 2-3 years, i am trying to convince myself that he is still the same player but unfortunately he has lost touch.

Well barring that 91 and a six on free hit in hix next match.. I havent seen any shots that is full on confidence.. His awesome coverdrive which frustrated S.A to such an extent that they had to pack 6 ppl inside the ring on off side just to block the boundaries.. and i have seen him piercing that too..

All i see these days is his mistiming and majority of runs at 3rd man region or between covers and 3rd man region.. He was never a good leg side player or never a good puller so all he had in his weaponry was straight six which he is famous for and his cover drives.. Both of which are rare and the ones he manages to hit arent as clean as they are supposed to be.. 10 mistimings and then he managed to clear the rope..

Plus most important thing is his attitude.. It has changed a lot.. He is just looking to get back into ODI side and that was pathetic when he said that in Presentation Ceremony..

Now you are saying that if Ganguly goes in first 10 overs we wont even score 150.. But what if he kicks ass in first 5 overs with a brisk 35 and overall score to say 55 and then het gets out.. It will do more good than he being on the pitch and then getting out in 11th over with 28runs (32balls).. Atleast ppl like Debarata Das/Hussey/Shukla can then then be tension free and carry on with 7rpo..So in the end they can easily reach to 175+. The main thing i feel is that they don't have a gameplan here. They just come and get totally defensive.. They need to attack from very 1st ball.. You have to mess line and length of bowler and not give him chance to settle.. Ok and in doing this say there will be first ball dismissals to good deliveries hell with it.. No need to get under pressure..

You will say that from all the Senior Icon players he has the best stats.. with runs and wickets.. But what are the use of those runs when you dont win the games.. Now what will Gambhir do with his Orange Cap if they dont Qualify for Semis...? Individual contribution are waste unless they play as a team... Ganguly is batting too selfishly these days and mostly he looks scared and under pressure... And Bowling is not his forte so if he gets wickets or not doest make him all rounder.. If he gets wickets then well and good for team and also it compensates strike bowlers who dont get wickets..

IMO Sachin too is performaing badly and i dont think he's gonna success in this format.. Its his sheer presence in the team that is doing wonders for thier team.. Jaysuriya has got back his confidence just because Sachin is stading with him on non-striker end.. So even if he scored duck in every innings.. MI will gladly keep him.. But KKR dont have that luxury nor they have hitters like Jaya or strike bolwers like Pollock..

On the other hand Dravid did pretty good job in last 2-3 matches to make a statement but he is still not the right man for his team and he is facing the same problem.. The team doesnt jell well and its not performing as a group.. They just dont have the enthusiam.. Stupid Pravin Kumar, Zaheer Khan .. I mean cmon they should be ashamed to be even called International Players with thier performance.. Kallis and Boucher are in no way players for his team..and Kumble - That guy is strictly a test player what is he doing in 20-20.. New kids like Kohli, Goswami might do wonders but rest of the players just seem lazy..

Laxman is similar to dravid but luckily for Deccan Chargers he is already out...

Damn didnt realise poori raam kahani likh dee lol....

[praka123]

shahrukh and ganguly -showdown :?:
http://www.timesnow.tv/NewsDtls.aspx?NewsId=8619

[axxo]

I agree 100% with Dipen01. Iam a huge fan of saurav when he started his career...he was as promising as what now is gambhir with his strokes and shots. But ever since he become captain he lost his batting and there after he never seems to come out of it except for the aus tour i could see some confidence but not as he was in his initial career.
Why senior players of India couldnt play as aggressive as some australian players like hayden, ghilli. I dont know what's backing up them from playing their natural shots.

[drgrudge]

My predictions for the day... CSK and KXP will win. :D


For anyone interested: Preview : Chennai Super Kings Vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (http://www.cskfanclub.com/28/preview-chennai-super-kings-vs-royal-challengers-bangalore/)

[amitabhishek]

Whatever little matches that KKR won it won only on individual brilliance. Partnerships will win the tournament. Anyhow better luck next time.

Dada needs to work on his attitude he may be prince of Calcutta but this will not win him the trophy.

[prasad_den]

anyone can help me find the press conference which takes place after each match and the live scoreboard w/o any clutters and compatible in opera.
NDTV cricket's live scoreboard works well in Opera too..! Not sure about the press conferences. Probably the official T20 site will have that too, 'coz I know for a fact that it streams the matches live everyday.. :)

[digitized]

Bad team selection let down the KKR team in this edition of IPL. I mean, in 20-20 you must attack from the start at an average of 8-10 runs per over. We did not have the openers who would make the score, say 40-0 or 40-1 (1 wicket down max) at the end of 4 overs. Then we can expect a score of around 160-170 at the end of 20 overs. We have to be aggressive throughout the 20 overs. There is no question of consolidation in like the 50 over match. Time of consolidation will only come when say, 2-3 quick wickets fell down.

Our openers were on average, reaching a score of around 45-50 in 10 overs, and that too after loosing 2-3 wickets. Our openers never gave us a good start so that the middle order could continue the hitting. And we were too overdependent on Ganguly and Hussey. Once they go, the batting is exposed. Only Salman Butt can be fit as a genuine opener.

We can say, we were also unlucky, as we did not get the service of Ponting, Gayle or McCullum for long. Bowling was also weak, Ishant was getting hit at the beginning and Shoiab is not fit every match. We did not have someone like Jayasuriya as opening batsman or Ntini or Pollock as opening bowler who would put pressure on the opponent right from the beginning. Hafeez and Akash Chopra are not 20-20 openers. So please do not blame Ganguly alone. When the condition of the team is like this (no balance), these things are bound to happen.

So better luck next time. Maybe we will have a better and a more balanced team next year.

[drgrudge]

KXP crusing.. I want to see a 200 run target.

[Dipen01]

The Team Managers over dependence on Coach is also not good.. Captain should be given full priviledge to chose whomsoever he wants too.. Buchanan seems uninterested at times, may be thats his nature but i dont think you need hitech coaches in IPL.

Besides Shahrukh should have obliged Ganguly during team selection.. Anyways whats done is done..

[drgrudge]

By the way, it’s overcast & raining here in Chennai. In fact, it rained yesterday as well. This is good news as the weather is pleasant and it might not rain for a long time.

It's raining for 45 mins now and feels like heaven (in the middle of a hot summer!). The last thing CSK want is a washed out match... :(

[digitized]

^^^So do you want the rain to fall or not? :D:D. Your match may indeed be washed out but if it continues then you will continue with the hot summer.:p

[smit]

MI sailing away to the victory, & who said sachin can't play, i told you guys he needs sometime, anyway Dada isn't the best icon player it's sehwag & tendulker catching up.

[Pathik]

The master blaster is back!

[smit]

LOL, the game has changed, 2 big wickets in 2 balls, this is going down to the wire.


Edit:- 19 needed in 6 balls, can MI do it for the 7th time ?

WHat a match MI lost !! winning streak is over.

[Pathik]

Damm!t!!!

[prasad_den]

Wow... a nailbiting finish...!! Although VRV Singh bowled a horrible last over..!

[drgrudge]

What a match! The best of IPL. I thought MI deserved to win but KXP won.

It's still drizzling in Chennai. The match might be delayed or be a truncated one.

[amd64_man2005]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

poor poor cricket by them.....

MI LOST!!!!!

[smit]

Yuvraj run out was awesome, he would have won a gold medal at that speed at olympics.

[iMav]

1 run, damn the fools, nehra the faggt can't even run 3 runs idiot

Lol so this is good news for DD and KKR!

[prasad_den]

1 run, damn the fools, nehra the faggt can't even run 3 runs idiot
Nehra can do nothing other than show all his 32 teeth...!! MI deserved to win.. It was an amazing chase till the 17th over, when all hell broke loose.. 5 run outs in a match is toooo much..

[iMav]

the freaking match was ours, aarrrggghhhh! 5 run outs !!

[prasad_den]

Lol so this is good news for DD and KKR!
Still MI are at an advantage over the other two, having played 11 and won 6.
DD have played 12 and won 6
KKR have played 12 and won 5

[confused]

before the match: MI aala re
after the match: MI gela re :D:D:D

thanks to yuvi's effort, MI lose the game.

[iMav]

thanks to yuvi's effort, MI lose the game.actually no, yuvi won because of MI's lack of pressure control

[confused]

actually no, yuvi won because of MI's lack of pressure controlno no, i was reffering to the last ball run out. tie wouldnt have helped my team (KKR).

and dont blame lack of pressure control, blame that chu,... err, ...uthapa:D

[smit]

Now DD has a chance, DD needs to beat KKR & MI, MI will probably beat RCB , but MI net run rate is still higher, so everything depends on RR , they need to beat MI to ensure DD will play in semis, though still DD needs beat KKR & MI.

[iMav]

and dont blame lack of pressure control, blame that chu,... err, ...uthapa:Dvery true, chutapa :D

[confused]

LOL.

[drgrudge]

Did you people see the post match ceremony? Yuvi said:
"Thanks for the support. It was a pretty one sided support. Remember that there are players in Punjab who play for India too."

He directly mocked Mumbai people and indirectly Sachin. It was natural for Mumbai to support MI. For the matter of fact, I support CSK more than I do for India (http://www.cskfanclub.com/22/are-you-more-loyal-to-city-or-national-team/).

[iMav]

what does he expect, he is a supporter of Man U he should very well know what happens when Man U plays in Arsenal

[confused]

He directly mocked Mumbai people and indirectly Sachin. It was natural for Mumbai to support MI. mocked?? :confused: i dont think its mocking.... and where did sachin enter the picture? :confused:

For the matter of fact, I support CSK more than I do for India (http://www.cskfanclub.com/22/are-you-more-loyal-to-city-or-national-team/).i support dada more than i support india. LOL.

[smit]

MI will have huge advantage in semis & final if they reach it, since games will played in Mumbai so they will get the support & they will also know the pitch better since they have played like 7 matches there, i think IPL semis & final should be held at neutral grounds.

[confused]

^^yeah one in kanpur, one in kochi, one in guwahati,etc

[amd64_man2005]

lol...they should play in bangalore..there is no way bangalore can make it to any of the ipl semis with whats going on in the franchise itself.. :D

and now shahrukh is showing his true colors..lol..i really feel sorry for saurav...jaha bhi jata hai controversy piche bhagta hai..man..i think he should retire now..he really doesnt deserve such treatment...

according to times now..shahrukh reportedly siad."the coach will have more say in the matter from now on"..according to sources.."ganguly wanted more batsmen in the team while buchanan wanted more bowlers"..."buchanan was more interested in buying foreigners and leave out indians"..thsi created a spat...and then at rthe end of the csk match..after the conference..SRK at a hit at saurav to which saurav was hurt and he left the hotel..SRK then said at a press conference that ganguly was great enough not to be with the team when in need..

[prasad_den]

RCB scampering somehow to manage a total in 3 figures... 126 is the lowest total by any team that batted the full quota of 20 overs.. But still, 133 was defended by DD I think... can RCB defend 126...??? Looks a difficult task..!

[amd64_man2005]

133 was defended by KKR!!!..bundled out DD for 110..

[drgrudge]

^^
No way RCB can defend this total. Remember CSK's second MS averages a six every 5 balls.

He bats at number 9.

[prasad_den]

^^ Oh...So DD managed to lose chasing 133... :D Okay..!!

[Cool G5]

Sad to see Mumbai Indians losing by a run (http://coolg5.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/electrifying-climax-of-mumbai-indians-vs-kings-xi-punjab/).

[Dipen01]

Bloody Uthappa :x

He is busy pointing off at crowds and hving fancy haircuts..

But dhang se singles lete nahi aate.. waste of money..

You cant blame tail enders, Given the situation anyone will struggle.. I still think, they should have not taken the run from overthrow on 2nd last ball .. This would have given strike to Fernando, who can hit pretty well.. So had he missed the boundary, they could have easily scored 2... And That would have given them a tie...

Anyways.. Iffs and butts are always there after a good match...

I hate bloody Yuvraj and Sreesanth.. :x

[amd64_man2005]

csk 93-5 :O

[prasad_den]

CSK losing their way....!! Hope they can pull through.. :(

[amd64_man2005]

93-6..way to go RC..

[narangz]

Did you people see the post match ceremony? Yuvi said:
"Thanks for the support. It was a pretty one sided support. Remember that there are players in Punjab who play for India too."

He directly mocked Mumbai people and indirectly Sachin. It was natural for Mumbai to support MI. For the matter of fact, I support CSK more than I do for India (http://www.cskfanclub.com/22/are-you-more-loyal-to-city-or-national-team/).

Huh? He didn't mock anyone. From where does Sachin come in that? I love Yuvi as well as Sachin! Forgot how nobody cheered Sehwag? It feels bad dude. People pelted stones on Viru. Now can you justify those actions?


Bloody Uthappa :x


I hate bloody Yuvraj and Sreesanth.. :x

Just coz Bombay lost? Just bcoz Yuvi showed his nerves? :x The last run out was an excellent one & you should be proud of that.

Have you guys forgotten together they all make a team called India? Forgot Yuvi, Uthappa, Rohit, Dhoni, Gauti & erveryone else together won us the World Cup? :(

Yes I support Punjab but not by abusing other players and that too our very own players!!!

Yuvraj run out was awesome, he would have won a gold medal at that speed at olympics.

Awesome :D Atleast someone not a direct supporter of Punjab loved his athleticism :)

[amd64_man2005]

YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!!

CSK LOST!!!!!!

DHOBI SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D
:D
:D
:D

[smit]

Lol Rcb Won !!!

[Dipen01]

loolll... :d

Stupid Raina...

I was so disappointed that MI lost but now i am happy for Dravid ... And this gives a lifeline for Delhi now :D Unfortunately had KKR played couple of good games here and there.. they would have a good chance too..;)

[sam_1710]

RCB Won ... :)

[Count Dracula]

Didn't expect that actually :O.Awesome deliveries by Kumble and Steyn.And that catch by Kallis was exceptional.I thought he wouldn't catch,because he's fat lol.

Dude,Amd,Will you please stop writing whole post's in caps?.It's annoying.And please also stop taunting players and teams.:) . Hope you dont start some flame war now lol, I said it very politely.

[Dipen01]

I hate Dhoni, Yuvraj and Sreesanth no matter what.. even if India is playing..

Uthappa has rescued MI many times in the opening matches when Sachin wasnt there and Jaya failed.. So it was a off day for him or rather last 3-4 matches are off for him..

But above three sdjfkshferasfd are the worst...

Now that Bangalore has got its 3rd win.. Its time for Deccan Chargers to upset someone.. and who better than CSK :D

[confused]

^^

i cheered when my team won...i fought everyone when kkr was down..but ab team to haarke baitha hai..soo timpeass kar raha hoon.. :D

and i would support any team which doesnt have dhobi and yuvi...

[smit]

So how about supporting RR in the next match against CSK ?

[confused]

So how about supporting RR in the next match against CSK ?
i am in, definitely. (although i dont like warne very much :D)

[amd64_man2005]

aare smit bhai..aap kya sab match jeetoge..phir bhi will be supporting RR...and MI lost today..gives us a slim chance..too slim tho.. :))

[confused]

@amd64_man2005
@confused

you guys are so much enjoying than when your team wins...keep up the very good policy :Di am enjoying becoz, KKR was almost out, but one clear upset and one very tight game today means that the league has opened up again ..... maybe, just maybe if KKR can get the P&C correct they have a chance of semis......dear GOD, if you exist please grant my wish.....:D:D:D

[smit]

I don't mind if either KKR or DD comes into semis now but i really don't want either CKS or MI into semis, one of those will come to semis though, as CSK is top on the fair play list, so if they don't reach the semis we (RR) have a good chance of winning it , & if MI comes into semis, they will be playing on their homeground which can be a huge advatage in semis & final as things are very tight in those matches as for balance sake i hope MI doesn't reach semis.

Warne is gonna use reserve players against CSK, so thigs will interesting, imagine if CSK loses to some reserve players, & if they lose things will be very intersting.

[confused]

and i would support any team which doesnt have dhobi and yuvi...whats wrong with yuvi?? tujhe bhi deepika chaiye kya?:D

was shoaib injured? why dint KKR played him?bcoz shoaib is like a sports car. (will give high performance but takes a lot of maintenance.):D

[Dipen01]

and i would support any team which doesnt have dhobi and yuvi...

oye and sreesaanth bhi :o

Any team that doesnt have these three.. :D

btw how will the teams be decided for semis..

1st - 4th and 2nd - 3rd or sequentially..?

[s18000rpm]

damn!

thank god i was not watching the game:))

b'lore won & its raining in chennai:))
(actually it rained way b4 the match started:p)

cant get it, we win with tough teams & lose to lollipop teams:x

dhoni machan, do something.

[prasad_den]

:D :D Too much complacency.. I expected this loss when Dhoni came out one down, as if to finish things up fast.. There was no need to change the batting order.. Anyway, CSK deserved this for their complacency.. teaches you not to take any game lightly..

i am enjoying becoz, KKR was almost out, but one clear upset and one very tight game today means that the league has opened up again ..... maybe, just maybe if KKR can get the P&C correct they have a chance of semis......dear GOD, if you exist please grant my wish.....:D:D:D
KKR is out of semis... not to offend you, but don't develop false hopes and get disappointed again..
Current points status:
CSK - 12 -7- 5
MI - 11 -6- 5
DD - 12 -6- 6
KKR - 12 -5- 7

So KKR has to win the remaining two, CSK lose the remaining two, DD and MI win only one of their remaining matches, so that they all end up with 7 wins each.. And then, based on NRR the best two would go in... VEry very unlikely..!
MI has evry chance of getting in the semis.. now because of this loss, CSK and DD would most likely battle for the 4th spot..

[confused]

dhoni machan, do something.he wont do anything, bcoz he doesnt understand tamil (machan) ......;)

anyway, i dont see any harm wishing for KKR to qualify, if they dont, then no probs, its just a game......;)

[amitabhishek]

NEW DELHI: An SMS from the Kolkata Knight Riders Shah Rukh Khan has been leaked to the media. It's an unusually long message revealing his anger, and exposing a very private side of the superstar.
SRK appears clearly frustrated with the Kolkata team. However, Shah Rukh comes across as a fighter, telling his boys not to give up till the very end.

The message was forwarded to The Telegraph newspaper by a member of the Knight Riders squad:

SRK's SMS

"Story time boys... I told you if you keep losing you have to bear with my long, boring msgs.... This is your punishment.... Many times I have made movies which don't do well.... When I'm doing them, of course, I don't know they won't do well.... The story is written by somebody else and I just do my bit as an actor. But I have a way of dealing with flop stories..., I try my best to keep my character in the film at a level that it makes a failed story also special for me....

"I enjoy the work.... I make jokes about the failure.... And, of course, feel awful about it too.... So, right now, all of us have become part of a failed script... A bad IPL script.... Let's try and keep our characters worthy of still looking back at this story and remembering it as a special story becos we all worked very hard at this....

"So, chin up and don't spoil yr character in the next two games.... Let's go out with a bang and not a whimper.... In films, we say u r only as good as yr last film.... So let's make the whole world know how good we r in the last (maybe not) two games...

"Also, do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues.... It's a normal thing in the world.... People like to hit you when u r down.... So, we will be hit.... No stress.... It will make us stronger.... The only way to avoid this is to win.... That's one of the reasons why everybody likes to be a winner....

"On the other hand, the beauty of failure is that it brings people together.... So, let's stick this out together.... You know me well enuff to know I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team 'cos of losses... I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats.... Like you guys are.... Like Dada and John....

"I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... Etc.... After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not.... Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel... in the meetings etc., but won't come for the matches.... So, please don't ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team....

"I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids.... Only, I won't be coming to the class room till the headmaster's rules are understood by me.... I am a bit anti-Establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.... So, head's up.... Have a good match and let's make 200 runs tomorrow.... This 150 seems to not work any more....

"We have nothing to lose now, except our character.... Let's not lose that.... Lov... SRK."

^^holy shite.... SRK is surely a nagging parent....... :D

[s18000rpm]

[Tech.Masti]

Anyone notice that yesterday all indian oldies performed well. Kumble 3/14, Dravid 47 runs, Sachin 65 runs. Then What Dhoni thinks now? Indian oldies can perform also in 20-20.. !

[gagandeep]

Dad didn't me to Feroz Shah Kotla due to rain........:( I kept on insisting though........

Amd, fir bhi aaj Delhi jeetegi......:p I hope rain doesn't spoil the match again......

[amd64_man2005]

lol...arre yaar..i just hope rain doesnt play spoilsport..want this game to happen tho..best of luc to delhi anyway..we are virtually out of the tournament..

[drgrudge]

he wont do anything, bcoz he doesnt understand tamil (machan) ......;)
He will in some time. In all probability, MSD will buy a flat (costing upto 4-5 Crores, overlooking the Marina beach) in Chennai.

[Dipen01]

If the match gets abandoned.. I gets its advantage for CSK ;)

[drgrudge]

^^
Posted this in my blog, posting some excerpt...



2 more victories and we’ll be in the Semis. Even one might do, but the lions hunt for their prey rather than depend on others.

So what we lose the match? DD and KKR are in worse situation than we are now - and they’re confident. We need to win the remaining matches to make to the semis for sure. If we don’t, then we don’t deserve a place at the semis. We’ve lost 5 of the last 8 matches.

I don't care what's going to happen today. We need to win against RR & DC and get in semis in style or we don't deserve a place.

[Pathik]

The RCB loss was humiliating though. :( Both my favorite teams lost yest. :(

[smit]

Match cancelled , 1-1 point to both of the teams, so KKR hopes are now ever & DD lost their chance, now they will now have to depend on other teams result to get into semis but i think CSK & MI have a better chance to go into semis now.

WTF.....Rain :mad::mad::mad:

[smit]

DD needs to beat MI at any cost now, if that match get cancelled then its all over for DD & you guys also have to pray to RR, they need to beat MI, if MI beats RR , the chance of them going semis will be very high, as they won't take RCB lightly as CSK so DD fans not only need pray to rain gods but RR as well , also they have to win against MI, this is going to be intense.

[confused]

:p

but its not his own voice is it?

(machan ~ dude)dont bother explaining tamil to me. (i am a tamilian;))

He will in some time. In all probability, MSD will buy a flat (costing upto 4-5 Crores, overlooking the Marina beach) in Chennai.nice ... i guess he wants to escape the naxalite trouble in ranchi.....:D

nah, i think he wants to escape the plastic fantards, who might stone his house if he loses IPL/etc. etc

[confused]

TRAITOR :x :pwell i guess i am one......:D (btw - i live in bombay and still dont support MI;))

well T20 is only cricket, and you support whom you like best....:)


nah, i think he wants to escape the plastic fantards, who might stone his house if he loses IPL/etc. etclol:D

[smit]

Not to Offened anyone but i always wanted to do this, if i hurt you in anyway forgive me, & it has taken lot of time to gather this so please don't be mad thanks in advance.

I don't think so. What about Kolkata? I'm predicting this:

1st in league games: Kolkata
2nd in league games : Chennai
3rd in league games: Hyderabad
4th in league games: Punjab/Delhi

Semi 1: Kolkata Vs Punjab/Delhi -- Winner: Kolkata
Semi 2: Chennai Vs Hyderabad

So the finals will be Kolkata Vs Chennai/Hyderabad


KKR and CSK will play the finals if they don't face each other in the semis.


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

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

Dream Over !!

[Dipen01]

MI seems certain to reach semis..

and I prefer DD agains CSK any day, any minute..

[smit]

CSK needs lose against RR & DC for that , & DD needs to win over MI, or the match needs to be a draw, since CSK Run Rate is in negative anyway.

[confused]

Not to Offened anyone but i always wanted to do this, if i hurt you in anyway forgive me, & it has taken lot of time to gather this so please don't be mad thanks in advance.aap ke pas bahut time hai..... man some of these quotes are from the earliest pages.......:!:

Dream Over !!bad luck. lets see which team dada is in, next year and i'll support them.......

[smit]

aap ke pas bahut time hai..... man some of these quotes are from the earliest pages.......:!:

That's true, i am really bored now since the match was cancelled , so i went to early pages to see what was in people's mind at that time

bad luck. lets see which team dada is in, next year and i'll support them.......

It wasn't only bad luck, they didn't play well, they didn't play as a unit IMO, anyway this maybe the first & last IPL i will have the chance to see, so best of luck to all the teams for next year because i might not get the chance to see them next year.

[amd64_man2005]

y???u goin abroad or sumthin??if not..then to india ke gali gali mein tv hai..dekh lena.. :))

[smit]

I am going to banglore for college, so i will have to live in a hostel, i am not sure if there is a TV in the hostel, if there is a TV & they allow me watch IPL, i would be happy to watch.

[amd64_man2005]

ooh..cul..which collg??and yea dude..u will have summer hols during ipl..so chill.. :D

[confused]

It wasn't only bad luck, they didn't play well, they didn't play as a unit IMOyeah thats true. by bad luck i was reffering to the rains......

[smit]

R.V. college of engineering, no the vacation starts in july for 3 months but i have heard they have a TV , when IPL match is going on everyone gathers & watches the match but it could be a rumor, i really don't want any false hopes about it.

[amd64_man2005]

thru comedk??

i guess they have so...all hostels have tvs..else..u will hve a laptop and broadband if i m not wrong..just sign in to the live feeds from iplt20.comn..and ur ready to roll.watch it live on ur laptop..for bout 500 for the whole season..

[confused]

^^on the internet maybe??

[Tech.Masti]

today saw on a newschannel, that 2 new teams will enter in this tournament next season, namely Ahmedabad and kanpur....... and guess what, owners may be Anil Ambani and SAHARA's Subrata Roy..... they surely bid for those teams :)

[Dipen01]

Does anyone play cricket from North East ?

I don't think there are players from Assam , Mizoram etc...?

[amd64_man2005]

are any players left?? :D

[Tech.Masti]

Of course, there have some international players left from every country. England will join next year, accor. to Times, Pieterson and Flintoff will be available in next bid. And next year money will talk for new owners, they surely take some other teams players ..... So dont worry.;)

[amd64_man2005]

i guess only 4 foreign players are allowed..are there any good indian players left..thts my question.. :D

[confused]

^^they will offer more money, to buy indians from other teams maybe........

[amd64_man2005]

that would be crap!!!

the ipl will be dominated by the tatas and the ambanis.. :(

[confused]

btw - how many more "vijay mallyas" will we see? ...... (ie, team owners who build a weak team then keep whining to the media, when their team loses :D)

[Tech.Masti]

^^ i dont think RCB is worst team, they cant performed in time, thats the fact...... Remember that Dravid is their highest run getter in 20-20! ! Can anyone believe that..:(

[gagandeep]

Today, I want DC to win against KXI......:D

[Cool G5]

^ Me too.

[narangz]

^^ And your wish was not granted :p

[smit]

Today's matches are going to be awesome, i am really looking forward to DD vs MI, hope rain stays away, since RR are resting one or two top players in their team, it will be exciting to see how they do against CSK, as always i support RR, GO RR, destroy CSK !!!

[gagandeep]

Today karo ya maro for DD......I hope they thrash those MI.....

And yes, RR destroy CSK.......

[smit]

RR have scored 211 runs, it will be exciting to see how CSK will bat, RR has about 4 changes in their team, so it will be be good match in the end , but as always RR will win, GO RR, crush CSK !!!

[gagandeep]

Great batting by Graeme Smith, Asnodkar and Akmal......CSK will get pawned today......:D

4 good overs out of the 20 overs can win the match for RR......

[smit]

RR WON !!! what a match , my team won i am so happy go RR !!! woot!!

[s18000rpm]

:o
damn dhoni, from now on let Morkel bat first.
from now on let morkel & raina do the opeining :twisted:


Batsman ------Status----------- Runs --Balls-- 4s--6s-- S/R
A.Morkel -----c P.Singh b S.Tanvir-- 71--- 40 ----6 --4 --177.5


RR lookin so strong .

[iMav]

stupid fielding :x

[smit]

DD won !! RR has a chance to knock out MI !!! IPL is still alive !!!

[gagandeep]

Yeah...DD won.....

Now we're assured of the 5th place....But to get into the semifinals, CSK needs to be defeated in the next match.....

A match saving performance by Dinesh Karthick....

[Dipen01]

Well Deccan Chargers have chance to knockout CSK ;)
That would be classiest match of tournament :D

MI will cruise easily even with RCB :D

I was cheering for good cricket today as i am disappointed for MI and delighted for DD..
They mess up in death overs after a good start same thing happened in batting too..

Anyways.. I hope they qualifty through RR itself..

[smit]

^ RR beating MI at jaipur has a higher chance then DC beating CSK.

[mrbgupta]

wow ! wat a match ! IPL is worth !

[prasad_den]

Dinesh Karthik was too good.. and assisted wonderfully by some sloppy fielding by the MIs.. More thrillers to come, now that the 3rd and 4th spots are wide open...!

[mrbgupta]

A match saving performance by Dinesh Karthick....

or match winning?

[prasad_den]

Two excellent matches.. Nothing to take away from all the 4 teams that played today..! A Super duper saturday...!

Tomorrow is another story.. the clash of the losers.. RCB vs DC.. :D

[Dipen01]

^ RR beating MI at jaipur has a higher chance then DC beating CSK.

Chances dont mean anything. Its the performance on the given day :D

Besides RR will be playing with substitute players so this can make it easier for MI..

[amd64_man2005]

Lolzz...but i think its tough for MI now to get into the semis if CSK wins their next match...i hope dhoni gets kicked out surely..MI has started on a losing streak again..lol... :D

[smit]

If MI weren't play the semis or the finals at their homeground, i would have supported them, but they are giving them a big advantage so i hope MI doesn't reach the semis but if they do , they will have a huge advatage of winning the first IPL.

[Dipen01]

Oh dear i didnt realise that Delhi are on 15...:o

I thought they have 14... And so i was thinking that one win was suffice for MI..

Now it seems that RR v MI is as vital as thier last match..

[gagandeep]

or match winning?
It was rather tournament saving IMO...because if we wouldn't have won this match, then our Semi Final hopes would have been crushed.....

And match saving because, I was expecting him to drown again and if he had been out again @ a low score, then there would have been no-one to handle the situation with Maharoof....

BTW, Deccan Chargers will be playing for their pride, so we can also expect them to win.....:D

[iMav]

Oh dear i didnt realise that Delhi are on 15...:o

I thought they have 14... And so i was thinking that one win was suffice for MI..

Now it seems that RR v MI is as vital as thier last match..the stats before the match were that if MI had won they would qualify and DD were out, if DD has wins they might or might not qualify, depending on MI.

[Stuge]

thank god daredevils won the match .I went to see the match and I enjoyed every moment of it .:)

yes. superb innings by dada. but i missed the whole match, only watched last over .... :(
what time is the highlights? is it 7:30 am?? will try to record it with my tv tuner card :)

anyway, KKR were inconsistent this IPL, which cost them a place in the semis. :(
lets hope they play better next IPL.

looking forward, MI in a tight spot.... lets see what happens

[axxo]

yes...kkr's inconsistency cost them not to play in semis..but now i feel csk too deserve the same..they(csk) are as like our Indian team...not learning to be consistent in winning matches. As a supporter of CSK am disappointed with their performance in this series.

[digitized]

KKR's lost cause in this edition of IPL ends on a high note, defeating KXIP.:) and Dada scoring heavily and Gul chipping in. Maybe if we had some luck on our side (matches abadoned, or the opponent winning by Duckworth Lewis system, etc), then maybe things would have been different. But yes, sloppy fielding and bowling yesterday.:mad:

[amd64_man2005]

Why kolkata could not make it to the semis...

1)No one performing in the team..saurav with 350 runs is the highest scorer in the team..followed by hussey with 310....rest are in the 100's...

2)over hyped bowling lineup with only gul and dinda delivering the goods..ishant was a disgrace...3 crores but no value..most expensive bowler in the ipl..even saurav bowled better than him

3)No big hitters in the team..the departure of mccullum saw the team staggering...ponting was out of touch..shoaib and gayle could not make it...added to the worries of the team..

4)local boys could not match up to the hype and failed miserably..SAHA and DINDA were exceptions..everyone else was poor...

5)all the wins were due to individual performances alone:-

against bangalore-mccullum
again deccan-saurav and hussey
against bangalore-saurav
against deccan-saurav
against delhi-shoaib
against KXI-saurav and gul

the other members of the team simply faded away..

6)too much pressure on saurav...his captaincy,batting,bowling..everyhting was under scrutiny..its a disgrace to indian cricket IMO..a player who performs so consistently for india has to go through such rubbish...whenever saura played..he did it for a winning cause..nlike a few other seniors...i doubt anyone else would have performed the way DADA did under such pressure..

7)no seniors in the team..saurav had noun to confide upon...so much for youngsters...each team had some great players to look forward to..

8)most of the foreign recruits were failures...

more comments welcome..

[Pathik]

[Pathik]

MI really deserved to be in the Semis. Their last 3 losses have been 1 run losses.

[Dipen01]

Fernando should have stopped last ball.. Period

[iMav]

aarrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

nehra ki toh ****** aur woh ch*ttapa I can bloody bat & bowl better than them. Great catch by Sachin. Dilhara dropping a catch then giving into pressure :(

[neelu09]

yippeeee RR won......but i really fell sad for MI i wanted them to be in the semis......they can still make it though the chances are very less

[smit]

DD reach semis !!!!!

[gagandeep]

OMG.....RR won......

Azharuddin had once rightly said, "Nahi jeetega, chotey k naseeb mein jeet nahi hai"......Sachin is extremely unlucky as a captain.....

DD assured of the semis now....

If CSK looses the next match and MI wins, then MI will be in the semis........due to the Net Run Rate...

[amd64_man2005]

^^^gud luck to DELHI dude..

i dint want mumbai to win coz then they would have an unfair advantage playing at home...

all the "oldies" now gone.. :D

1)saurav
2)sachin
3)dravid
4)laxman

[smit]

AMD @ YOU understood me, MI has huge advatage at homeground, that's why they are unlucky, even heavens know MI don't deserve to go to semis !! GO RR, i don't care if we lose in semis , i love you RR !!!

[gagandeep]

^^^gud luck to DELHI dude..

[axxo]

CSK has greater chance of losing..bcoz they are on losing freak..still 50-50

[gagandeep]

AMD @ YOU understood me, MI has huge advatage at homeground, that's why they are unlucky, even heavens know MI don't deserve to go to semis !! GO RR, i don't care if we lose in semis , i love you RR !!!
They actually deserve to be in the Semis.......I want CSK to loose the next match & MI to win...

[iMav]

Where is that fagot who talked about fixing, where is he? He was giving big round talks and teaching me about fixing. Writing in fonts bigger than mouth. All the teams that he named (actually he named almost all the top teams 1 after another) are no more. Call that member.

He got inside news, Ambani had bought & paid, where is he?

[gagandeep]

CSK has greater chance of losing..bcoz they are on losing freak..still 50-50
And due to the same reason, DC have the higher chance of winning because they're also on the loosing streak.....:D

[smit]

^ can't you get the home advatage thing in your head, i want CSK TO GO INTO SEMIS, IF THEY LOSE REMOVE DHONI from the captainship.

[amd64_man2005]

^^^^lolzz..ambani needed the money for his 200 million ka house.. :D

[gagandeep]

where is he?
Search him in the thread...:D

^^^^lolzz..ambani needed the money for his 200 million ka house.. :D
haha...

I still want to see MI vs DD Final......;)

Lets hope CSK looses the next match & MI wins the next match...

^ can't you get the home advatage thing in your head, i want CSK TO GO INTO SEMIS, IF THEY LOSE REMOVE DHONI from the captainship.
arrey kya Home Advantage??...ghar pe toh sabh hi pit-te hain.......:D :D :D

Tabh bhi shayad DC jeet jaaye...:D

[iMav]

itna badey badey font mein post kar raha tha jaisa usne fix kiya hai aur mereko fixing samjha raha tha. Chutappa jaise players ke saath fix karo toh bhi jeet nahi sakte :x

inside news means stories that came in his mind inside the toilet.

[Dipen01]

I so badly wish for Gilchrist and Gibbs storm tomo.. Get the freak Styris out and Get Afridi In...

Batting first set 250 ..lol...

Fernando, Raje messed up due to pressure

I am really disappointed with Uthappa and Nehra... .. Nehra bowled really badly those 2 boundaries were totally uncalled for.. When he knew that theres no 3rd man.. Why drift on to pads..

[iMav]

inside news means stories that came in his mind inside the toilet.:lol: very true very true :lol:

[gagandeep]

Get Afridi In...

Jis din Afridi chal gaya na...uss din sabh bowlers ko dho dega...

He was just playing his first innings (but his 2nd match) when he scored the fastest century....in just 37 bowls...:lol:

[iMav]

Jis din Afridi chala gaya na...uss din sabh bowlers ko dho dega...
are typo matt karo, bahut galat matlab nikalta hai

[amd64_man2005]

lolzzz...sachin took a stunner..i guess i couldnt forget the way MI pulverized KKR.. :D

but i wuld be beter served if dhoni were kicked out..good for nothing...but that guys got sum great luck...MI and CSK both on a losing streak.. :D

[Dipen01]

hatt yaar sach mein mood kharab kar diya yeh logo ne :|

In logo ko support karna hee waste hai. KKR ko support karo .. sale haar jaate hai.. MI ko support karo wo bhi haar jaate hai ..

[smit]

Dipen01@ IF sachin finds that out that which ever team you supported lost, he would send some "Bhais" to get you out of the way & express highway (pune to mumbai) means they don't get bored driving. :D

[amd64_man2005]

and DADA will send some "dadas" :))

[Dipen01]

Gilchrist dude.. you gotta kick some a$$ tomo :o

[iMav]

In logo ko support karna hee waste hai. KKR ko support karo .. sale haar jaate hai.. MI ko support karo wo bhi haar jaate hai ..wohi main sochu itni panvati kyon lagi hai, salla ek ek do do run se kyon haar rahe hain :D

[Dipen01]

oye :o koi panvati nahi lagti hai..:x Chayla starting se support kar raha hoon..

Kisi ki buri nazar lag gayi hai.. Aur yeh ek ek player ko chun chun ke maarna chahiye..

Uthappa ko gadhe pe bithake ekdum bandar ka haircut dekar ghumao poore mumbai mein..

[prasad_den]

:D :D CSK won....!!! MI out of the tourney... :D :D

[axxo]

CSK Won Sachin Gone :D

[gagandeep]

Crap Dhakkans..........aaj bhi nahi jeet paaye.......:mad: They should be discharged.....:mad:

[axxo]

deccans lacked a lot in bowling dept..except afridi there seems to be no recognized international bowlers on their side.

[smit]

i didn't post yesterday that the match fixing man was wrong, i thought maybe chennai might lose today but now i can say safely , YOU WERE WRONG , MATCH FIXED MUHAHAHA , die ....

[neelu09]

arrey where is the match fixing guy.....he said mumbai will win the ipl.....but they are out of semis.....but how come...he had inside news but still he went wrong...why oh why.....crap

[digitized]

Haha...MI out of IPL.:D:D KXIP for IPL champions!!!:D

[narangz]

^^Awesome :D

[krazzy]

So is MI really out of IPL? Phuck! I knew there was no use supporting them as they won't win. But then they started winning and I started supporting again. Now they lost and got kicked out. Phuckers!!! Duniya hila denge. Ghantaa duniya hilaya!

[Pathik]

Saale you first supported MI then after they lost, you backed out. Then you again started supporting them after the 5 wins. Again they started losing. :p Your support is a panvati. Go support RR now. :D

[krazzy]

What panvati? They don't need panvati to lose. They would've lost as it is. Whole Mumbai team was panvati.

[smit]

RR to win the IPL & i have been supporting them since they lost their first match against DD , WOOO , GO RR !! RAWR

[Dipen01]

Well its easier to say this after MI lost.. But i really think Sachin's captaincy has to blame for 2 close matches..Wrong selection of bowlers.. Anyways no point in crying over spilt milk..

[tarey_g]

Well I am eagerly waiting for the finals,
