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.
dada said during last match's toss that chris gayle had arrived, but was not fit, and would start playing in a weeks time.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.
so that means all the aussie playes left... is it???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.
Am sorry to break the news,i hope Mumbai Indians do well today...
if sachin is thr, they can get some moral support
All the best MI...
