Go go go....

RCB have got the required momentum (Kallis, Steyn, Kumble bowling well). Its matter of time before they steam-roll their opponents and make it easier fo DD

RCB has won the battle of against DC and now they are 7th !!!

Ho0ligaN · 22nd May 2008, 00:16

Ah, am so happy to see CSK lose and good to see grumpy old men of RCB doing rather well(kumble/kallis). I am impressed!

Dravid : "Yeah captaincy looks great when everything comes off, on another day you make the same calls and if it doesn't come off it doesn't look great"

On hindsight, all the men bashing RCB should acknowledge the fact they have lost few close games, which holds for CSK(who I think have had the most fluke wins till now) and KKR as well(2 wins each against RCB and DC, and one against DD due to pot smoking chucker). Maybe Dravid had a plan about the team composition and all, and it hasn't come off very well, luck is not on their side or bad execution or whatever. But come on, t20 star studded DC is doint much worse! It's just that RCB players(Batsmen especially) haven't performed to the best of their potentials yet, and maybe who knows what is going to happen in the next season?

I think if CSK loses their next couple of games, they are outa the semis? I would so love to see that happen!

DC doesn't have stars - they have hit or miss pinch hitters - they miss most of the times.

The departure of Aussies (Hayden & real Hussey) have hit CSK. They can't get their batting together. Ya, if they lose their next 2 games (against RR & DC), they are out.

These people are businessmen and teams cost around 70million USD(all inclusive). How will somebody like Zinta or ambani recover their investment. Whats the business plan.
Will the prize money be enough to cover the costs.
For example will the winner team owner get enough money that he/she can retain own players?

I guess post counts aren't counted in the general section? I couldn't care any lesser :P

I would love to see the back of CSK as well..., feel bad for Goni though.
Imagine RR, KXI, MI and DD in semis, that would be awesome.

Eddy · 22nd May 2008, 10:10

Guys, don't expect a match today. Its been raining almost non stop here in Delhi for two days.

No chance of sunshine also :(

Shared points would mean MI are favourites to reach the semis ahead of DD

normally_crazy · 22nd May 2008, 11:18

I did not like Yuvraj's comment at the presentation yesterday after the match. What did he expect ? Mumbai crowds to cheer his team on over Mumbai ?

And what's with the comment - we all have played for India you know - ???? Can't handle it eh, Mr playboy ?

Will he like it when Mohali crowds cheer for Deccan Chargers or KKR ??

Arrogance - will not take him anywhere.

Exactly. Is he the only one who has faced such criticism? Loud mouth.
Actually a lot UV rays has gone into Yuvi's head.
I really wanted MI to win yesterday.

normally_crazy · 22nd May 2008, 11:48

As much as I love the way he bats, I can't understand such high handed comments from him.

Go yuvi Go - run to your Priety mama and get a hug.

normally_crazy · 22nd May 2008, 11:50

And Mumbai Indians have to decide what and who they want to play !

Yeligati , Chitnis and Pinal Shah (worst amongst the 3) are no way worthy of playing in the X1.

Dhaval Kulkarni is missing, Takawale looks a better batsman than Chitnis and Yeligatti.

Seems like some other force is influencing team selection in MI.

maddy42 · 22nd May 2008, 12:09

Seriously feel MI threw their match away. I agree nehra bowls well but he cant bat for nuts. So y give him the strike in the last over. O by the way he cant run for nuts too.
Yuvi dude why dont you just shut up and play the game. So much for support. They Should be happy that it was just boos and not bottles which were thrown on them. So much for crowd support.

invincible7 · 22nd May 2008, 12:12

Yuvraj is an ***.. has been for past soo many years.. will be for the coming years.. he cant help being stupid..
