***Official*** IPL 2009

[pasag]

Hayden's been awesome in limited overs cricket for a couple of years now, it really is an extended run of brilliance. Even in Twenty20s, he was superb in what little IPL he played last year and was leading run scorer in the T20 WC. He's just continuing here where he left off.

Johan Botha has been signed up by the Royals and should make his debut today as Warney is injured. Graeme Smith is likely to captain the Royals if Warne is out.

Shane Warne - "Johan Botha is a sensational player and we were disapointed when he couldn't be part of our squad at the start of the tournament. It is a real boost that he can now make an impact when called upon."

So the action is no longer an issue once they need him?

I would have thought that Warnie wanted the international spinner's domain to be confined to himself.

But his been cleared. His action is no longer an issue. He just can't bowl the doosra of course.

Gotta be careful though, the Royals have already had two bowlers called for chucking. They don't need a third.

If Banglalore lose tonight are they out?

 

[honestbharani]

I guess so.

 

[Howsie]

Great Ryder has been droped agan. He gets a game, then he misses three. Kallis should go.

 

[Nate]

If Banglalore lose tonight are they out?

No, I think mathematically it's still possible. But highly improbable.

 

[GGG]

Unbelievable, Ryder dropped again, I guess he should go for 9 an over like Kallis to stay in the team.

Brad Hodge aye, he is Australian.

This isn't live at all.

What a fantastic cricket wicket. Kallis getting some serious bounce and there is plenty of pace in it.

One HD 'Live' is currently showing Praveen vs Hayden.

So regretting that Haydos' retired, could've won the WC for us by himself.

If CSK reach the semis, Michael Hussey said that he would be available for selection. If that happens, should Hussey open the innings with Hayden? Would solve the opening slot niggle that CSK have at the moment.

Shouldn't be given a game IMO. Guy can't be bothered to play during the normal stages but when it comes to semi's he wants it. That's IMO ****ed. Give it to the guy who has been playing throughout the tournament. Don't change the winning formula.

What's the link between sitting in a corporate box and match fixing?

Chennai to crumble from here onwards imo.

That's right, Haydo's is gone.
