*Official* Indian Premier League 2010

Mumbai should get Bosman into their side. He can't do any worse than Jaya. Also Bravo and Pollard in the same side doesn't make sense, both are not frontline bowlers and Bravo is batting so low he doesn't have the time to make an impression.

Watching the match in the multiplex was a magical experience. No ads between overs and very few ads over all. To see those three amazing shots by Tendulkar, then the brilliant bwling and fielding of Bangalore and the clinical way in which they went abo9ut their chase, Bangalore was simply awesome.

I might go to the multiplext for KKR v Mumbai on Monday if I am in the city. I might be travelling to h\Hyderabad and Mumbai tomorrow, so not decided my final plans yet.

Bangalore was just too good yesterday. Really awesome.

I hope some of the IP{L franchises consider players like Tamim Iqbal, Shakib, Mahamudullah, for next season's IPL. Not only do I think these guys could offer something, but from a business POV, their salary demands would be a lot less then signing a South African, an Australian etc.

Anyways i see them Dropping Boucher/morgan (more likely boucher) for KP once he arrives

It is unfortunate for Boucher that all the other international keeper-batsmen have had chances to prove themselves with the bat (or the captaincy), right now he is just taking up a slot where he bats too low, and can be held capably by Uthappa.

Would play White instead of Taylor based on recent form.

White has done better in the international matches recently.

Taylor waz robbed

 

[honestbharani]

FFS didn't understand why Tendulkar was constantly trying to move across the stumps.

perhaps coz on the leg side there is God and then there is Sachin.. Was juz trying to play to his strengths, tbh..

Sweet my state's got an IPL team. Kerala are epically laughable in the domestic scene tho - hopefully we can lure a few big recruits to the team. BI do you know who is going to be our brand ambassador? Mohanlal?

 

[Edged&Taken]

sreesanth would want a transfer to Kochi Killers

 

[Shri]

Wtf? Kochi Killers? And I though "Kolkata Knight Riders" was bad.

 

[Athlai]

Kolkata Knight Riders is easily the coolest name of any sportsteam in the world.

The Super Kings, Royal Challengers, Royals, Kings XI are far more cringeworthy.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Given how most international, Indian players are already bought up how do the new franchises catch up? Is there anything specific to help them with that?

Seems like they'll just be whipping boys for a few seasons before the young players come through.

 

[King Pietersen]

Aren't all the teams cleared out and a completely new draft completed next year?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Aren't all the teams cleared out and a completely new draft completed next year?

No idea, makes sense though given the 3 year contracts in the initial auction.

 

[King Pietersen]

ABDV is such a class act. Been easily the most entertaining player on the mic in the IPL so far.

 

[Manee]

Looks like my move to transfer RP Singh for Umesh Yadav in fantasy cricket didn't quite pay off.

 

[King Pietersen]

Warner's started nicely Love watching him bat.
