Ipl 2009

I heard someone say on the news that Flintoff got hit for 22 or 24 one his first over or something, is that right?

Oh and btw the "seven minute strategy break" is a load of crap lol, may it not spread outside of the IPL. Simply an attempt to squeeze in more ads, no.
 
Yea.. he got hit for three 6s by Abishek Nayar in the same over..

Pietersen looks happier playing here than when he does for England. He was batting with Rahul Dravid at one point and the two looked like great complements.
 
Never really followed it last year but how did the Rajasthan Royals win it? Their squad looks so average. I know their missing Sohail Tanvir, are they without anyone else?
 
Yea. Shane Watson. Warne lead brilliantly last season. They had Watson, Tanvir, Smith, Warne, Pathan(you might not have heard of him, bit of a t20/50 over specialist) all firing throughout the season last time. Five good players are more than enough to win a T20 match.

Yusuf Pathan? But yeah I guess your right, you can afford to have a few weaknesses in a team and still string together wins.

What's happened to Shane Watson?
 
Yea. Yusuf Pathan.

Shane Watson's just coming back from a back injury and as a result, he'll only bat. He's an all-rounder..

And he'll be available only for 2-3 matches before he leaves with the Aussie squad to play Pakistan.
 
Presuming you do indeed support Chennai, what did you make of the decision not to play Murali today?
 
Made no sense..
Ntini should've played at least if not Murali..
 
Good win for Chennai today. Always nice to see Pietersen going for a golden duck.

Ronnie Irani laying into Simon Taufel in the studio for the decision was a bit over the top.

Some SA girl trying to pass herself off as a Bollywood fan right now. Couldn't name an actor she liked.
 
I just dont get the team selections in IPL. Why isn't Boucher playing?

Because he's become rubbish in the past 12 months.

I don't know why Kallis is playing, though. I'd start Ross Taylor ahead of him.

Probably cos Taylor's not impressed in the last two games.

Reckon this tournament needs a close game, with some drama to really ignite it. Feels a bit laboured at the moment.

McCullum's explosive century last year was the perfect opening.
 
He's just in amazing form. Brilliant in all forms.

Flintoff absolutely murdered. 50 runs off 4 overs.
 
Delhi's bowling attack is shit bar Vettori. They need to score 200 in every game for any chance to win.
 
Morkel fecked up today. Bowled like shit, dropped AB, batted like shit, ran a team mate out.
 
Scorecards suggest that both matches were quite good today.

Ganguly throws away his wicket off the last but one ball. Cmon Rajasthan, win it.
 
Isn't he the guy who used to sleep on railway platforms and pretty much played all his cricket with a tennis ball. He's never played a first class game and the Rajasthan coach saw him playing at some local T20 tournament and signed him up. I think this is his first game. Love the way Warne captains his team.
 
Great hitting from Yusuf Pathan. Sharma should have got the nod over Mendis. Isn't hindsight wonderful.
 
:lol: get in. royals win

hate the cnuting knight riders with a passion.
 
Great match.
Great hitting from Yusuf Pathan. Sharma should have got the nod over Mendis. Isn't hindsight wonderful.

Ishant's not bowling well in limited overs.. I think the result would've been the same if he'd bowled.

Sehwag, Gambhir, Raina, Yuvraj, Rohit Sharma, Dhoni, Pathan, Harbhajan, RP/someone else, Zaheer, Ishant..

we have an amazing team for the T20 world coming up.. everyone looks in form as well..
 
Sachin and Jayasuriya murdering Kolkata.

103 from 9 overs. Both of them, especially Sachin, playing some amazing shots.
