*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

[honestbharani]

So both our openers are out?

3 in fact..

 

[biased indian]

Gambhir injured, may miss IPL game, WI tour

Gambhir injured, may miss IPL game, WI tour - Express India

he will play the IPL today and will skip the WI tour....

 

[Blaze 18]

yeah only ipl injures people

Would much rather see a player get injured in a random India-Sri Lanka ODI series.

 

[Blaze 18]

3 in fact..

Who is the third one?

 

[Jono]

yeah only ipl injures people

Players getting injured playing IPL and missing out playing for India is a legitimate gripe.

 

[honestbharani]

Who is the third one?

Sachin.. He is not injured but he ain't on the tour.. So he is "out" in that sense..

This.. At the end of the day, as much as I want the Indian stars to play with the youngsters in IPL, the least people can do is condense the time period and make more sense with the travel schedule and ban the stupid commercial appearances these guys have to do as part of all this or at least minimize them.. After parties and stuff be damned, and also give them a bit of rest straight after the IPL at least so that they can recover..

 

[Blaze 18]

Sachin.. He is not injured but he ain't on the tour.. So he is "out" in that sense..

Yeah, I was actually talking about the test series. He isn't missing that, is he?

 

[Cevno]

Who is replacing Gambhir?

And Raina captain now?

Would be good to see some youngsters like Mukund/Rahane tested in the ODI series in the west indies.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, I was actually talking about the test series. He isn't missing that, is he?

Well, he doesn't open in tests anyway.. So

 

[Cevno]

Kolkata 15 for 3 already.

 

[Shri]

Lool, suck it up KKR, you have always been a ****ing ****e team. 20/4

 

[Cevno]

Super innings by Ten Doeschate.

From 20/4 they managed to score 147/7 largely thanks to RTD scoring 70 off 49 balls and a cameo from Shakib.

 

[Nate]

RtD WAG. Finally got the Hi Def to work. Nice cameo from Shakibs as well.

 

[Bun]

Players getting injured playing IPL and missing out playing for India is a legitimate gripe.

So myopic. Playing caused the injury, not the tournament.

So what's the alternative? don't play cricket?

 

[Bun]

"Excellent captaincy by Tendulkar today" - How many said that

 

[Jayzamann]

This game has potential to go down to the wire, unless Pollard goes crazy. And Franklin is still there.

 

[Cevno]

Mumbai under little pressure here after seemingly cruising at the start.

A clanger by Abdur Rauf to give Rayudu out.

 

[Bun]

Make that two clangers... Taufel ****s up one....

Thats 2 sawn off out of top 5

 

[Cevno]

Wtf are Mumbai doing here?

Epic Choke.

Franklin crucial again.
