For short sighted people, MI were the champions last season. Before that CSK. So, let's just troll Indian teams for sake of trolling won't work.

Azhar and Guptill wickets are the key for Aces chasing this score down within 16 overs
 
Wow! outswinger followed by an inswinger. This guy is so unpredictable.
 
Should be easy chase from now on.

Every single match has been one sided so far.
 
Now he gets a wicket.

Players want to hit Balaji for a six every ball and once in a while get caught at the boundary. That is Balaji's strategy :)))
 
Aces need to score the remaining runs within next 6 overs to reduce any outside chance that KKR might have for Semi's berth (at the same, enhancing Aces's chance for semis)
 
I think except for Delhi, all the IPL teams will have a hard time winning a single game....
 
May be but their seam bowling looks good ... And they got Pieterson and jaywardene... So they do have a chance to atleast post some total

So was the other team's initial line up looked. In fact Delhi has got a top heavy batting order with only 2 people they can really rely on (KP and Mahela). Likes of Viru, Ross et all are not very consistent. Their back up bowlers are not great either, Umesh and Irfan have been hot n cold with their form throughout their careers.

I really doubt any IPL team to get past group stage. I wish at least one of them prove me wrong (i will be very happy if they do).

My picks for semis are

1)Auckland Aces, Titans

2)Sydney, Lions
 
How many Dollars have KKR spent on Balaaji? Wouldn't it have been great had they donated that to a some Well fare Society?
 
Auckland lineup has a lot of power hitters. This De Grandhomme guy hits it a mile when he connects.
 
is De Grandhomme was born in Zimbabwe! if gary ballance, ervine and this dude played for their motherland it would be good for them, and they couldve always go to county or other clubs for a stint since Zimbabwe hardly plays much cricket.
 
Thrashing is handed to KKR! Good, time for Gambhir to play Ranji games.
 
Aces has been really the surprise package of this tourny. Azhar will have huge contract in next IPL auction.
 
Surprisingly, KKR's net run rate is still better than Perth even after back to back thrashings that it had.
 
I think Sialkot Stallions would have beaten KKR easily too.

LOL Knee jerk reaction.

On a serious note, I think the same too, at least after this performance by KKR

considering balaji's mcgrath-esque performances vs Pakistan, i doubt sialkot would have survived Balaji's lethal spell.
 
gotta give due respect. KKR might have struggled but the aces have been unbeatable so far in all the matches theyve played so far. thats the advantage of coming in early and play plenty of matches. if they win the tourne from here onwards i simply wont question their potential.

guptil, mills, adre adams, mahmood, seems like a decent side
 
Tomorrow my team (CSK) will be facing local favts Lions in a must win game. Gonna be very difficult for our boys to win that (considering how poor our main bowlers and batters have been in the recent past including IPL 5)
 
Kitchen is grossly underrated. If you see his batting, he rarely slogs. very sensible batsman. Agreed he hasnt really been tested but attitude seems good.
