*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

They lack the spirit. Have always lacked it since season 1. Only two times I saw them charged up -

McCullum's inning.
Akhtar's spell.

I enjoyed watching them trying to turn things around late last season, one of the reasons they became my favorite team was their determination after all the troubles they had that season.

 

[King Pietersen]

Surely McCullum, Yuvi, Gayle and Smith would be the top International T20 batsman. Would say it is between Yuvraj or Gayle myself. Cam White isn't bad either. Hate Warner though.

Pietersen's the 2nd leading run-scorer in T20i history, with a very impressive strike rate and a good average. He's certainly in the top 5 for me. Though having checked the stats back, his record isn't quite as impressive as I remembered. Definitely in the Top 5 though AFAIC.

Ganguly turning down two singles with the runrate almost at 15.

Yeah probably round the top 5.

Ganguly you're ****.

 

[DingDong]

Ganguly you're ****.

+1
worst t20 batsman of all time. so over KKR now. IPL is crap.

 

[NasserFan207]

He's not that bad, its just he's selfish. Being selfish is probably the worst quality you can have in 20/20 cricket.

 

[DingDong]

no he is the worst of all time. can't hit 4s. can't run singles. can't play the short ball.

 

[King Pietersen]

There we go, only a matter of time until Shah ran someone out, would have been incredible to see him go 3 games in a row without running someone out.

 

[Uppercut]

Can't think of anyone worse than Ganguly tbh. At least other bad batsmen have the decency to get out. Ganguly likes to make 100% sure the rest of his team don't manage to win the match.

 

[DingDong]

they need to get rid of ganguly, hodge, pujara asap.

Mumbai-Bangalore should be a decent match, both sides are pretty good.

Yeah, could have Bradman, Viv and Malcolm Marshall in their side and they'd still lose everything. No spirit.

 

[Prince EWS]

Put a small wager on this game to force myself to get more interested in it.

STEYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working so far.

 

[vcs]

Did I just hear Sivaramakrishnan say that Kumara Dharmasena gave that LBW decision?

 

[pasag]

That last ball that Steyn just got the edge with was wow.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah he took up umpiring as soon as he retired - he actually retired a bit earlier than you'd expect to pursue it IIRC.

 

[Prince EWS]

Too many wides ffs.
