I'm a supporter of Kings XI Punjab (Mohali) :cool:

Our match against Rajasthan Royals just started, we won the toss and chose to bat. Average first over.
 
Our innings finished 166-8, not great really. Could have been worse I guess had it not been for a spirited effort by Piyush Chawla at the death (24 runs). Yuvraj Singh far and away the best batsmen, made 57 off 34 balls - everyone else capitulated around him really.

Will be a very tough task for the bowlers to win this now, come on Mohali!
 
Well the match is pretty much over and it's a certain victory for Rajasthan Royals. Disappointing for us, our batsmen let us down and from then on it was an uphill task. Bowlers also failed to take wickets at crucial times.

We'll really need to pick up the performance on Friday against Mumbai Indians.
 

:lol:

As I said they had a few under rated players.

Theoretically they are the weakest as they have spent the least amount of money on buying players.

You should have bet on them.The underdogs.
 
Bangalores my team. Did well yesterday, good win in Mumbai. I quite like coming back after work and watching a bit of cricket, especially top class players. Felt the ECB took a step backwars by limiting counties to only one international player.

I think there should be more than one overseas player, but it has meant that the youngsters come through.
 
Surely you jest?I think the last promising English youngster I saw was Alastair Cook.That's 4 years ago.

there are a few coming through. Broad will be a perminant fixture in the test side next year. And the likes of Rashid and James Harris are starting to look good.
 
You can buy Delhi merchandise at Addidas shops....

I think lowest price at Kotla is 250, followed by 1000, 1500, 5000 and 7000.
 
Delhi's batting lineup looks weak, they need to play De Villers.

Why isn't he playing? And wha't the rule about how many indians have to play in the xi?

Test cricket will die out eventually. I can feel it.

I don't think it will. It'll continue to lose its popularity like it has ever since ODIs were first introduced.

Only 4 foreigners allowed in the staring eleven and there is some rule about having some U22 player in the squad.

Tests made a comeback in early 2000s due to ODI overkill. I was hoping India's refusal to play T20 would mean it would never take off....
