Was shifting home and missed the last 3 days of IPL. 2 CSK losses and 1 Sachin special. Heartbreaking to lose to KXIP. Hope CSK does make the semis but they need Dhoni desperately.
Bangalore and MI are just showing there class though. They should be the teams competing in the finals.

Whatever it takes!!!
agree... their bowling attacks is what sets them apart, I feel. Excited to see how KXIP will go today though.. with Lee and Marsh back..
Marsh
Bopara
Sanga(wk)
Yuvi
Bisla
random Indian biffer
Pathan
Chawla
Powar
Lee
Sreesanth
Must be a good team, at least on paper. And on their day, that bowling will win them the game easily.

Yeah though Marsh may not be the same free flowing batsman of IPL1 and Lee's coming back from a pretty big injury.

Agreed .
If the Pakistan players play the standard of international players will not dilute,specially with their being some good players being on the bench and not getting the games.
Remember even in this edition the english,kiwis's and aussies are still to arrive fully. And we could expect more of aussies and english players in the next edition ,perhaps other young players from other countries too.
Then players from less heralded nations such as Bangladesh,Netherlands,Scotland,ireland ,Kenya,Uae etc... COuld perhaps also be brought in who are suited to this format.I think this could be a massive boost both ways.
But on the other hand the threats will be - will the retired brigade last upto these standards next year? The likes of Gilchrist,Hayden,Warne,Kumble have been stars till now.Will they last till next year or will teams give them 3 yr contracts?
Then pertaining to only next year some players might not want to play due to World cup.
And with more strain on domestic players ,i think this is where quality could suffer.Yes there are pretty good domestic players still not getting a game for some teams and on the bench.But if they make it to starting squads of the new team ,the bench strength would be hard to get for all teams and thus standards could fall.Perhaps it would be advisable to raise the cap on foreign players to 5 per starting eleven instead of current 4.

Reckon Rusty will keep out one of them. Probably Marsh.

Irfan has dropped brother Yusuf! slower ball, Yusuf throws everything at it, ends up skying it, Irfan runs to his right from long-off, gets under it, but the hands don't come together in time ..... I saw this happening in the first IPL too.. the younger Pathan drop his elder bro in the same manner

And as i post that,he is gone.
This has happened to me a few times now.
Think teams need to pay me for jinxing opposition players.

Seriously Yuvraj has largely been **** this IPL. He is getting out playing some extremely silly shots which is not pardonable for a man of his seniority. Seriously if his lack of application is due to him being relieved of captaincy, then that's unprofessional.
