***Official*** IPL 2009

International Debutant
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.

The Smith decision was ridiculous though, definitely too high.

Hussey falls after a brisk innings.

I took offense to you saying Indians are crazy. I talked about a single person, you talked about a whole country.
You have taken offense without understanding the context of what I wrote.:dry:
What makes you think that my saying "these Indians" refers to the whole country?

lol looks like Bhukha Naan is going to be the new villain .... 'if' he is discriminating then he needs to be kicked out asap
I feel the entire KKR morons managing the team including SRK needs a real kick up their backsides.

SRK needs to sell the franchise to someone who either understands cricket, or stays out of the running of the team. BhookaNaan and company needs to go because they have really messed up the team and don't a working strategy to stand on. Ganguly and other useless players need to be thrown out and new blood brought in. Not sure if Ponting takes the IPL too seriously so they should let him go too.

That article isn't for you. It's something local in a part of Mumbai in India, just like some drunk brawl happening someplace in Sydney, or Auckland, or Bristol, which in turn is of no concern to me. That is, unless a famous personality is involved.

How did you come across such an article, anyway?

I'd say all those film stars running the teams are ruining those teams. They're in it only to promote themselves, their business ventures and their films, and have no clue of how to run a cricket team.

Arre!!!.......what do you mean the article isn't for you. I'm an Indian student in Sydney, will be promptly booted out by the Aus Dept. of Immigration once my course is over......TOI is on my RSS list.

My sentiments exactly........although I don't like the idea of Sleazebags like Mallya owning a cricket team very much either.............just feels like cricket is soiled every time sleazos like him appear anywhere near anything cricket.

I didn't know that! I thought you'd have something suggesting you're Indian, like the other Indians based in Australia- the flag, the T-shirt, the BCCI logo, any Indian cricketer, or any quote by or about an Indian cricket personality.

I subscribe to TOI and it comes to me every day, and I try to ignore the crime-story filled third page. In fact, I find some TOI articles a bit painful to read, because they're such screamers, and I have doubted their credibility for some time after the Bombay Times/Medianet nexus came up.
