haha gr8 game .... Chennai pull it off

 

[GGG]

WTF Dhoni as player of the match??

 

[Nate]

Love Gony. Would think he'd be a gun FC bowler.

Love Gony. Would think he'd be a gun FC bowler.

Hasn't had the greatest of starts in FC. 5 matches 13 wickets @ 47.53, but he definitely has potential to be a solid FC bowler.

MS as best player is pretty funny though. Should've been Gambhir.

 

[Jono]

GONY....


walks out hatless...




walks out chewing gum....


was always going to win it for Chennai.

I was disgusted yet loved every minute of it.

BALAJI'S PLAYINGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I have seriously looked forward to this day for about four years.

Bowled even worse than I expected, and I was expecting absolute crap from him tbh.

EDIT: Actually his stats weren't that bad. But man, that bowling out of the back of the hand rubbish was so **** to watch.

 

[Jono]

Can you believe it, Bangalore are going in as favourites (going by the bookies) vs. Kolkata.

Dravid vs. Ganguly as captains is pretty cool.

 

[Jono]

HAHAHAHAH! Aakash Chopra opening in a 16 over per side game.

That's hilarious. Love your work Chopra. Leave everything outside off!

 

[Nate]

Chopra and Hodge gone. Now I can start watching.

Maybe they mistook the ladder for the Kingfisher Fairplay table?

Haha.

Ganguly's a wanker for not opening in a 16 per over match. Seriously.

Btw Kallis not playing this match.

 

[Nate]

Taibu selected as a specialist batsman. Hoping beyond hope he goes well.

It seems to me that KKR is team selection based on giving a chance to everyone and making sure that everyone get their share of the pie.

How awesome is Venkatesh Prasad's accent. Silky smooth! Always loved it.

Keep chatting to him all night boys!

 

[Nate]

Could watch Hussey and Taiby bat all night.

Dont know what Ganguly is doing in this series. His batting average and Strike rate both one of the worst(if not the worst) in the tournament among those who have played 5+ games. Even VVS and Jaffer have better average and strike rate than him.

Name                Batting Avg.                  SR
Ganguly             16.57                        88.54
VVS                 31                           117.42
Jaffer              22                           111. 11

Bangalore aren't looking good at all here.

Surprised White and Boucher aren't the other way round... Boucher at 5 and White at 3. Isn't that more like their normal positions?

 

[four_or_six]

Don't know why Ganguly is celebrating so much at getting Dravid out... seems that KKR would have done better with Dravid in there, not White!

 

[unccricket]

its personal....the pretender bowled by the true captain. GO GANGULY!!!!!!!!!!!
