The IPL Thread

But dont under estimate Dhoni's luck yet. I guess i have to agree with Sehwag saying:" When its my day nobody can stop me". Till now Delhi seem to have the upper hand.

Sorry mate, devastating does sound a bit tame - breath-taking is the word.

Delhi's bowling was good, sadly I missed Sehwag's batting.

This what Umar Gul feels:

Meanwhile Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul, who recently joined Kolkata, felt Ganguly's captaincy in Twenty20 cricket had a way to go. "This format is new for Ganguly. He is finding it difficult," Gul told PTI. "He has to learn a few more tricks. We also have to find the right combination and rhythm."

Harbhajan removed from all Mumbai advertisements

Quote:

In what is being seen as a corporate move, Harbhajan Singh's pictures have been taken off all the advertisements that promote the Mumbai Indians, including the team's website.

Meanwhile Dhoni wants to Cricinfo - Check sequence of events - Dhoni

Sreesanth may have broken the proverbial 'dress-room' code. So when they play for India next time, something will happen in the dressing room

- they might term Sreesanth as a snitch.

Today's match at 4: Laxman meets Ram !! (Dravid in the woods)

BRC's ad says 'Jeetenge hum shan se!', guess they shud change it to 'Harenge hum.....'
Today match (BRC vs DC) will determine the Best Test-20 team in India!

Other match will be a cracker, KKR vs PK, Go KKR Go....!

Guys, don't you feel IPL management esp one Lalit Modi is acting too tough on players & umpires?
What the hell man? They are not school kids playing cricket, all are professional cricketers, and such minor incidents do happen in Sports, but resorting to a cane everytime is not done!

If this drama continues to happen, I guess the players & umpires should boycott IPL, then Mr Lalit Modi will know what he is worth!
