Off to get some popcorns.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The whole tourney will be a big test for Raina. Up against some lethal pacers and the pitches have shown good carry.




Raina tum aagey badho, hum tumhare saath hain.

 

[kungfu90]

Ashwin is better than Ajmal in English at least.

 

[RehanG]

[PTI tsunami]

Don't know why IPL teams show off when they play 4 overseas players where others play only normal team

 

[young guns]

[IgnitedMind]

[leatherface58]

Henriques and Smith murdering Csk bowling )

 

[velu]

albie morkle saved CSKs ass N number of times more than anyone else..
pretty stupid thing to drop him

 

[leatherface58]

Scary how much Bollinger has regressed in terms of his bowling.

 

[johnhoover]

[Sandeep]

Raina is smoking speedsters here! Am I watching the right match???

 

[kungfu90]

He is having fun out there

Very small ground. I am disappoint.
But good innings so far.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Subramanium Badrinath, unable to get the ball of the square since 2008.

Still bringing the 'i' in inferior.

 

[Sandeep]

A quote from Cricinfo

"The reason why Raina is so successful in IPL is because he is playing up the order. But in the Indian team, he always play 4 or 5 down. Ironically both the teams have the same captain but still Raina's position is different." That's a strong point, Vishnu Udayan

Umar Akmal fans... are you listening?

 

[Sandeep]

woah Raina is playing a blinder against Cummins here...

 

[Sandeep]

I thought Raina would last 2 balls from Cummins! 1 short, 1 full and bowled )

 

[IgnitedMind]

Raina...good innings!!! Looks like he has worked on the short ball

 

[Sandeep]

Very good catch from Smith!

 

[Sandeep]

Raina...good innings!!! Looks like he has worked on the short ball

Let him play test matches...we can decide

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dhoni too !!!

Match is done!

 

[Sandeep]

Dhoni too !!!

Match is done!

Don't lose hope! Jadeja is still there )

 

[IamtheKING]

jadduuuuuuu

9 karod!! )

kuch karo yaar....

 

[IamtheKING]

CSK looks like a very weak team,they need vijay and MSD to fire.......

 

[Sandeep]

I can safely say Ashwin can easily come in at no.6 for India in tests...scores runs very freely!

 

[shakil]

Steven Smith has stopped bowling altogether? Pity

 

[Sandeep]

Steven Smith has stopped bowling altogether? Pity

pity for us,the opposition teams.. The guy is very gracious in conceding runs )

 

[BaaliSoda]

We have got so many weaklings to hide in the park - some glaring ones are: Vijay, Badri, Mahesh, Jaddu, Bollinger, Hilfy.

With walking wickets in the form of Vijay, Badri(ball eater), Jaddu and even MSD (these days), I doubt we will get past group stage (not to forget we have got one of the worst pace attack for t20 format in the tournament)

Albie gotta be in the team for the sake of his dibbly dobbly medium pace bowling(can't be worse than Hilfy or Bollinger) and his batting is far superior to our opening batter(monk) and pacers (Again Hilfy and Bollinger).

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sorry double post

 

[King Cobra]

I think CSK has lost its charm and Raina is the lone fighter in the team . Just look at Dhoni , how much his batting has regressed !!!

 

[farazaidi]

they should promote Du Plessis to the opening spot and let Hussey do what he does best in the middle overs !

CSK still looks the better team of the two there

 

[Executioner]

the only area where steven smith is better than warner is batting and fielding. he will never come 10 miles near warne when it comes to leg spin

anyways, shows that Aus still produce a lot of players. i believe that henriques and haddin couldve made a big difference to the Aus team in the T20 WC. They would have made the fragile middle order more stronger
