Are Hyderabad going to be known as the Hyderabad Deccan Chargers, or just Deccan Chargers? Pretty **** if they actually dropped the 'Hyderabad', particularly since my parent's heritage there is a big part as to why I would be supporting them.

Also, tell me Mumbai aren't going to be known as the 'Mumbai Indians'

The names they have come up with, after all the fanfare, has been a big let down.



Chennai Super Kings?????????



Mumbai Indians??????



Deccan Chargers??????




Add to it two teams with similar names....


Bangalore Royal Challengers????????



Rajasthan Royals???????




Honestly, if that is the extent of these guys' creativity, Lord save us......

hehe yeah some really messed up names.
Although i do think Rajasthan Royals goes pretty well. With the whole Rajput thing coming into play and all.
" Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers probaly worst of the lot followed by superkings.

I think the Royal Challengers and Royals are both good names, actually. Juz don't like the fact that out of 8 teams now, two teams have similar names.... That's all. Apart from that, don't find THAT much wrong with both names...

Mohali is yet to name their team....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deccan Chargers

I actually like their logo.

 

[silentstriker]

They have a very good web site as well. Team with player profiles, statistics, news, discussion boards, etc.

Forget the players... Neil Maxwell has to have made an absolute fortune out of this.

Awesome stuff.

Awesome stuff.

A big thanks to Pratyush, Kev and Zac who helped with assigning the rankings for the players too

Pratyush's knowledge of the local Indian players was especially helpful.

 

[ret]

just registered for that game .... my team is unbeatabulls

so we can make 25 substititions once the game gets underway right? does it cost anything to make substitutions? [though i prefer no subs rule ]

As do I. Cool site as well, good to see the discussion forums already generating some ‘buzz’.

Praveen Kumar?

Yes. Praveen Kumar from UP, within Delhi's catchment area. Delhi only have Maharoof and Vettori, and he would fit in there nicely. Bangalore already has Kallis as an all-rounder, and Steyn, Kumble and Zaheer as bowlers (with Vinay or Raghu possibly playing as the fifth).

Why is the West Indies captain even considering Twenty20 cricket over Test matches against Australia?

Disgusting. Lost so much respect for Gayle.

I've been a big supporter of IPL, but this is absolutely unacceptable. You cannot allow players to miss Test cricket for any sort of other competition. You just can't go down that route. And this is a Test against the best side in the world!

WI board needs to take a stand ASAP. They should not release players for this.

 

[Tony]

Could see more and more of the Gayle type decision processes. Cricket is in infancy as a professional sport and could one day IPL or something similar be the major one day competition at least? and test matches programmed around it ,,,,,,,ie an NBA type situation but with the weatlh concentrated in India.

 

[NZTailender]

Nah, reckon Gayle's bluffing. We all know the players have a problem with the WICB. Possibly a ploy to get a better footing in terms of contracts, benefits, etc.

And make many enemies as well.

As West Indies captain there are bigger things to consider than his personal contract with the WICB. Cricket is a game for the fans, and it's a terrible example to even consider missing Test matches to play IPL. No excuse.
