***Official*** IPL 2009

Shame Sri Lanka haven’t selected Vaas for the WC. He, Malinga, Mendis, Murali, that’s a bloody good bowling attack there.

Kolkata going to take the brave decision and drop their captain? 9 gameS, 91 runs @ 10.11 (S/R 86.66). That is shocking.
Especially since the multiple captains was supposed to help with situations like this, as then there would be someone who could take over seamlessly. Not having the gloves means that a return like that from McCullum is too poor.

Finally started getting into the IPL at the tail end of the tournament, and will certainly watch the semi finals and final live - only watched a couple of replays and mostly highlights of other games.

Question about the SL T20 WC side - is Murali playing in that squad? I thought he did not play in the international T20 side? And yeah, agree with McCullum. He has had an awful tournament. In fact, Simon Doull has had the best tournament of all the Kiwi members. Oh, and Stephen Fleming.

Yup.........looks pretty bad..............I wonder why the usually overactive public relations team of KKR look a bit stranded in the middle of the pitch??
I was watching a discussion on NDTV24x7, where an email to Ajay Jadeja asked whether Bucks is being unfair to subcontinental players, AJ said, he may be wrong, but he believes Bucks has been very harsh on them. He didn't narrate that incident of an Indian being called off the field, though.

Sounds like a bit of a shocker. It's strange we never hear anything about Matthew Mott, who's supposed to actually be the coach of the team. Is he meant to be any good?

Am a Mott fan. Pretty sure he's just the assistant coach aswell, with John 'Storm the Front' Buchanan as head.

Strong chance he could be attacked by International sides in the early overs, rather than him being ecomical i feel.

If he gets it to swing he will cause trouble (and he got an international batsman out yesterday). Still a very canny bowler and conditions in England should/could aid him.

Yeah, I thought that too. But I went on the KKR website to look a couple of days ago, and Mott is listed as 'team coach', and Buchanan as 'director of cricket operations' whatever that's meant to mean.

I presumed Mott was well thought of, I would have thought NSW coach would be a competitive position to get into.

@Sirdj

Avoid such sweeping statements. It was some lunatic who killed his son because he was watching cricket when the lunatic wanted to sleep. I am pretty sure there are evn worse lunatics in every country.
@Cruxdude - Dude you have missed the crux of my post:laugh:

BTW its a bit rich that you object to my calling them crazy when you call them lunatics.

Also other countries having worse lunatics does not make this pair any less crazy.

I took offense to you saying Indians are crazy. I talked about a single person, you talked about a whole country.

Kolkata go and drop their two performing international players, Hodge and van Wyk but the captain stays. :dry:

Hussey, Mendis and Angelo Matthews in. Moises also makes way.

Bangalore drop van der Merwe (best bowler in their last game) and bring in Ryder. Taylor keeps his place.

Joke.

FFS why didn't they send Mathews up at three. Bet you they will send in another no hoper in Hussey ahead of him. No one gives a toss about the rest, we all came here to see Mathews. Let him bat you idiots.

Reckon Hussey should run out McCullum, the guy is useless and wasting balls that Mathews could be smacking out of the park.
