The Delhi game was fantastic, and great to see my other team (and my state of birth) Delhi doing so well. Sehwag was brilliant. It's fantastic to see a 'Bhatia', my surname namesake make a great mark in the IPL. Hopefully he will make a mark in international cricket in the future as well. :)

Not arrogance it's just the fact that you don't bother to form an argument in the first place.

Making such a claim as Lee is the best bowler at the world at the moment needs to be backed up by something beyond just your personal opinion - especially since all rankings and statistics go against your claim.

Personally I'd sooner take Bond, McGrath, Warne and Murali over Lee at the moment.

But Scaly, it was just a passing comment. Its not like I made a thread and said "Lee is the #1 Limited Overs bowler in the world" and then just said "yep its true" without any evidence. All I did was make a post in the IPL thread stating my opinion that in that scenario, Lee is the number one bowler I'd want.

Three of the four bowlers you mentioned aren't even in my radar, though two of them are playing IPL, because I consider them retired. Id argue that Murali in recent ODIs hasn't been as good as Lee. I may bother to look up the stats on Friday, but I'm pretty sure its a fair statement.

And I obviously wasn't talking tests.

Hmm, Hayden vs. Harbhajan, who do I hate more? It's a tie, so I'll go root for Chennai on the basis of Mike Hussey and Suresh Raina, both of whom I like. Hopefully Bhajji gets carted and Hayden goes for a golden duck.

Also, Raina has become quite the fatass, hasn't he? Lose some weight lad, you used to be very quick in the field.

Polly against Haydos should be pretty interesting. Last time they meet Hayden absolutely destroyed him.

Was thinking this. :) Good call.

That hook Hayden played against Nehra was ridiculous. Batting extremely well.

Anyone else think Mumbai went WAY too bowler heavy? Also, didn't know Bravo was Indian. Guess he's West Indian. Ronchi's heritage blowing my mind however.

He played a paddle off Pollock before, now Hayden plays a reverse lap that splits 3rd man and point. Wow.

EDIT: Awesome shot off the toes by Raina aswell. Great support for Hayden, looking for the singles.
