[iHammad]

Chennai will win. If Delhi win it would be a huuuge upset

 

[Bullet Drive]

Delhi squad is SA based.

Hope Tahir plays. Supporting DD for this. Hate CSK!

 

[JaDed]

Delhi the most useless team of IPL by far lets see if they can breach the fortress with their 30 something players.

 

[run-out]

DD has no chance against the CSK (corupt super kings) )

 

[gani999]

Am curious to know how 16 crore boy Yuvraj Singh will perfrom.

 

[MRSN]

People still watch IPL??

 

[MRSN]

only people watch IPL are the ones who skip schools.

 

[Lords]

I hope media doesn't collect verbal diarrhea of Youraj's father after this match

 

[Electron]

I know we are crap and CSK is far superior, but I'll back my home team this season. No more glory-hunting.

 

[Swanny]

DD gonna lose so bad.

 

[Commander]

so now we will have a thread for each game for this tamasha?

 

[f.b.m]

I can't think of a worse management team than Delhi's. Got rid of all their good players over the years.

 

[supernova]

Delhi had Sehwag, Gambhir, Dhawan and AB De Villiers as their top 4 at one point.

 

[desi_launda]

only people watch IPL are the ones who skip schools.

IPL time is perfect for school kids and office goers

 

[Abhilash93]

Delhi has been the weakest side in the IPL over 8 years

 

[Abhilash93]

only people watch IPL are the ones who skip schools.

Oh! did not know 8pm is school time. May be in your country.

 

[saeedhk]

IPL is a great league although some people disagree. A case of sour grapes.

 

[FreeBird]

Wouldnt it be nice to put ALL IPL items one thread?
Seriously, even these names like "Chennai super Kings"' now sound cringe worthy.

 

[Raj-MSDian]

Irfan Pathan is Injured. Again. Seriously man...is this guy ever fit? I was looking forward to see him play, he would have added a great balance to CSK. Absolutely waste of talent IMO.

 

[desi_launda]

Fixers bat first.

 

[desi_launda]

Daredevils: Agarwal, Gautam, Iyer, Duminy, Yuvraj, Morkel, Jadhav, Coulter-Nile, Mishra, Joseph, Tahir
Super Kings: McCullum, Smith, Raina, du Plessis, Bravo, Jadeja, Dhoni, Ashwin, Sharma, Pandey, Nehra.

 

[desi_launda]

7.45pm For those who don't know, Sri Lankan players are not playing in Chennai because some Tamil groups have protested against letting them play in Chennai after the situation in Sri Lanka. Authorities apparently don't want any security threat keeping that in mind
7.40pm Just being told that Mathews hasn't even travelled to Chennai. Still trying to find out the XIs, though. The top of the page is the best place to look for it in about two minutes

 

[mithun_minhas]

Rameez Raja has carved a nice space in IPL. Gets to enjoy, everything paid and earns good money for commentating.

 

[Abhilash93]

Good thing about Angelo not playing is Shreyas Iyer gets a chance...lets see how he goes

 

[mithun_minhas]

Smith cannot put bat on ball in Int'l cricket, but he becomes Viv in IPL.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Am I the only one who thinks BMac is becoming a bit of a hack? Just slogs everything these days. He's better than that

 

[Abhilash93]

A former ammunition factory worker, Dominic Muthuswamy gets a chance as Zaheer & Shami are injured...What a story for a guy in his 30s, spent most of his life making bullets and now makes his IPL debut.

 

[desi_launda]

who is this female commie?

 

[Abhilash93]

[MENTION=136555]desi_launda[/MENTION] Isa Guha or Anjum Chopra may be?

 

[cricket.mad]

^^ nope..some aussie commie..two female commies are on Mike this season

 

[desi_launda]

[MENTION=136555]desi_launda[/MENTION] Isa Guha or Anjum Chopra may be?

Doesnt sound like a British accent of Indian

 

[desi_launda]

Raina

 

[cricket geek]

Very aggressive start by the CSK.

 

[MRSN]

The dismissals of McCullum and Raina...lol is this really cricket? seems like I'm watching EA cricket 2007. It's good to hacking competition.

 

[desi_launda]

The method worked for Baz on flat wickets Down Under,wont work on difficult Indian pitches

 

[saeedhk]

Rambo on.

What's wrong with those dismissals?

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai getting runs at will here

 

[MRSN]

What's wrong with those dismissals?

ugly shots very unlike cricket. It's like I'm watching my mohalla team batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

[sachintendulkar76]

So you have never seen batsmen slogging in international T20?

 

[desi_launda]

Tahir bhai in

 

[desi_launda]

DD playing 2 leggies

 

[mithun_minhas]

Amit Mishra got a hair transplant

 

[MRSN]

So you have never seen batsmen slogging in international T20?

I can only think of Baz. Others not much. Raina plays much more delightful shots at international cricket but it was disappointed in the manner he got out. Just shows how big players approach this competition.

 

[desi_launda]

Smith to tahir

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

1 game isn't an indication.

As of now, this game looks low quality but IPL picks up big time later on.

Towards the end its virtually nail biting.

Almost all IPLs are like that.

 

[MRSN]

lol D Smith one of those players that are only good for domestic levels. Doesn't he average <20 in ODIs?)

 

[Justcrazy]

tahir strikes

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

lol D Smith one of those players that are only good for domestic levels. Doesn't he average <20 in ODIs?)

Yes he is an IPL bully.

Useless otherwise.

But we CSK happy.

 

[desi_launda]

Jadeja in lol

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jadeja in lol

To counter lefties I think.

 

[Justcrazy]

[MRSN]

Yes he is an IPL bully.

But we CSK happy.

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

Amit Mishra is awesome on Indian pitches.

Mishra is underratted , he is pretty good , never afraid to flight.

 

[cricket.mad]

Thats what the great dhoni has done for indian cricket..has encouraged nepotism to the most..outsiders and csk fans cant understand the damage done by dhoni to indian cricket,although there is no denying of his achievements

 

[Belawal2014]

[Kianig89]

Great no Tv coverage in Pakistan good riddance

 

[Belawal2014]

Man, CSK choking right now, need capt cool to play some big hits

[Electron]

True. He has given us many reasons to be happy, but that shouldn't mask his obvious failures. Mishra is one of the top-2 spinners in our country.

 

[Enforcer]

Thats what the great dhoni has done for indian cricket..has encouraged nepotism to the most..outsiders and csk fans cant understand the damage done by dhoni to indian cricket,although there is no denying of his achievements

Agreed!

 

[desi_launda]

Dhoni please retire

 

[desi_launda]

Dhoni should baby sit now.

 

[mithun_minhas]

You can always bank on Aus Pacers.

 

[desi_launda]

Even Ashwin scoring boundaries but Dhoni cant

 

[cricket.mad]

Tahir to dhoni..will be a great sight

 

[Enforcer]

Dhoni is not good enough for power hitting.
