Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

Amazing match!

Didn't I say Kolkata has the best team around? Even Chennai and Hyderabad have a good team. Can't wait for our 'away' match against Punjab tomorrow.

I remember you said this once in this thread only......

In terms of Team strength:
Chennai>Hyderabad>Kolkata>Delhi>Chandigarh>Mumbai>Bangalore>Jaipur (Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata seem to have nice and strong combination).

Ohh yes. Kolkata has the best team. I did acknowledge that even before the match. Maybe I should have added "one of the best" to it.

My bet for the semis: Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad & Delhi.

IMO Bombay seems to have the best team..

Fairly speaking Mumbai team might not even reach the semis. They didn't have the money to 'buy' players as they got Harbajan & Sanath for a premium. They don't even have a Wicket Keeper. Chennai has 2 (Dhoni and Partiv Patel) and Kolkata has 3 (McCullum, Taibu and the new guy who rocked)!


Speaking of Wicket Keepers.. it would interesting to see what Rajasthan would do in the absence of Kamran Akmal.

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

^^^lol..no offence taken..my bad..

as i was saying..we were actually discussing the knight riders' chances against the deccan chargers tomorrow..as a matter of fact.the hyderabad team may look pretty awesum..but keep in mind that only 4 foreigners are to be player from the numerous they have.they have rp singh,zoysa and vaas in the ranks..expected they play zoysa..so they have to leave out wither styris or gibbs..coz gilly is the w/k..symonds is too big a man to be kept out..so choice between afridi and styris and gibbs...and theres laxam..a formidable batting line up..but they lack in the bowling deptartment on paper...our team tho has IMO a great balance...if mccullum and keep and we get one more batter in...prospects seem high..in t20 tho u need only a couple of batsmen to click...

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

Yesterday's match was just awesome ... Now i hope to see more fireworks from Sehwag rather than McCullum

I bet on Delhi Daredevils v/s Kolkatta Knight Riders for the Final !

Frankly i havent checked over all team ..i just know the star players..

and Combo of Sachin/Jayasuriya/Pollock/Bhajan made me think its the best team.. Although it seems too sketchy at the moment as most of the players might not be available all the time.. Gayle is missing, Akhtar is missing..


Btw one doubt -> Is there gonna be only 1 IPL tournament per year ? as in 44 days of cricket and so much hype ?

Btw what are these guys paid ? The bidding amount goes to BCCI i guess.. and these guys are paid per match !! ?

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

Now lets see how King's XI responds..!! Hope they put up a good fight..!

@Dipen: Ya.. Only 1 IPL per year...!

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

mike hussey was not considered in the initial list of auction...came back real strong...

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

Good match today........better than the inaugural match
punjab was in the game till 13th over than they slowed down....atleast they didn't give up like bangalore.

 

[prasad_den]

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

Good match...!! King's XI gave CSK a real scare in the mid overs...!

 

[dreamcatcher]

Re: ::The official IPL Thread::

yea...a good un..but kings XI dont have big hitters like the other teams do..this pitch tho was abelter..nothing for the bowlers..the inaugural match was played on a juicy pitch..atleast there should be something for the bowlers..else it becomes a happy-go-lucky series... hopes and yuvi were the only prospects
