***Official*** IPL 2009

[Manee]

Tendulkar has said he doesn't really want to play T20I, so I think he is out.

Then there really is no problem. One 'oldie' shouldn't create too many problems with fielding.

I am rather surprised to see his sudden T20 form though - I always pictured him as an average T20 player who scored at 110.

 

[silentstriker]

He has nothing to gain playing in T20s. He can use the time to rest, and play in tests and ODIs where er wnndn sd sdtg

Stroking out there?

 

[Sanz]

Tendulkar has said he doesn't really want to play T20I, so I think he is out.

He said, he would like to play but thinks that the T20 is complete and that wouldn't want to disturb the balance of the team which has been doing well, by making himself available.

 

[ret]

Chargers are still at full charge .... another victory for them!

For BRC, guys like KP have to perform soon or ppl will start asking Q like is he another white elephant? Last time, B'lore burnt itself by paying close to a million to Kallis

The amount of money Bangalore paid for Pietersen suprised me, because to date he's not been that great T20 batsman.

A lot of the time he'll start slowly, play his shots, get to 20 off 15 or 25 off 20, then get himself out.

Funnily enough, he's actually quite a decent bowler in T20 though.

Gilly effing raped.

 

[pasag]

Couple of good games tonight, looking forward.

So anyone know why McGrath aint playing today?

 

[Scaly piscine]

I do hope Delhi lose for their continued dumb selections.

Indeed, both openers out now, should be an easy win for Chennai.

 

[alternative]

With both the openers gone it should be straight forward for Dhoni's men.

 

[oitoitoi]

yup AB is the only real threat, dilshan might play a cameo

 

[Howsie]

Where are all the people now that were telling me Warner is a better 20/20 batsmen then Dilshan.

Good Batting Dilly.

 

[duffer]

Ugh at Campbell calling Badrinath a bowler. Sweet jebus.

 

[alternative]

TilDil scores a good 50. Incredible that he actually got it against Murali too.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Third-fastest IPL fifty from Dilshan.

 

[pasag]

Yeah good knock in difficult circumstances. Not convinced he'll do anything for the rest of the tourney but he's earned his spot for now.

 

[thierry henry]

The speed-ball radar readings in this whole tournament are definitely 5-8kph lower than what they would be in NZ. Why is that?

 

[biased indian]

just noticed 2 teams combined have some 5 people who have kept wicket in ODI's

 

[biased indian]

this is now the highest individual score in IPL 2
