Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders | Group A | Sep 17, 2014 | Hyderabad

Two IPL Giants face to face today

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

CSK bowling is in mess.

Let's see what happens.

Jaddu is a useless T20 bowler.
Ashwin - I dunno what variation comedy he will do. He gives consistent (but not great) performances most of the times in IPL.
Mohit Sharma - Mixed bag
Hilfy - Dunno about him or his form now - very predictable at the death
Pandey - Pretty decent fellow. I like him.
Bravo - He is our death bowling specialist. The best one we have. Can go either way.

We really miss the old Bollinger who used to be great at the start and death.

Just hope Dhoni doens't go with 4 foreign batsman.

I would choose between Faf or Bmac based on form and play Dwayne Smith, Bravo and Hilfy/Badree.

 

[Aman]

How on earth do the Bravo and Smith get in ahead of McCullum?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How on earth do the Bravo and Smith get in ahead of McCullum?

Bud, this is because you don't follow IPL.

IPL ecosystem is different.

Bravo brings in certain balance to the team.

Smith (unless he is woefully out of form) will be picked ahead of Bmac or Faf.

See last 2 IPLs to see Smith's performance. Its not even comparable to Bmac or Faf.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Last CLT20 also Smith was pretty good.

 

[Straight_Drive]

I hate both these teams....but I hate csk more....so go KKR

 

[Noobosauras]

I hate KKR. Hope CSK thump them into ketchup

They are all good at IPL level.Raina and Holder are decent options too

 

[cricketjoshila]

KKR team most likely

Gambhir

Utahappa

Pandey

Yusuf

Surya Kumar

Doeschate

Russel

Narine

Yadav

Pat Cummins

Chawla/Kuldeep

Problem is if this combi doesnt work there isnt much to fall back on.

[cricketjoshila]

Lynn is injured.Kallis failed in this IPL.

 

[Saurav]

Lynn is injured.Kallis failed in this IPL.

[cricketjoshila]

still better than Russell

Naah.If Russel gets his hitting right.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Our boys from Lahore also reached Hyderebad early morning today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ahan so no big name in CSK bowling lineup but when it comes to batting

Macca
Smith
FAF
raina
Dhoni
jaddu

Beast <3

 

[razabbas]

Last CLT20 also Smith was pretty good.

Macca and Smith pair was the second best in IPL 2014

 

[Noobosauras]

Supporting KKR in this. Want Gamhbir to fail though.

LOL mine is exact opposite. I would like if the angry little man gets some runs.
But want KKR to sink to oblivion.
KKR is the only team I hate more than MI

 

[razabbas]

My question to indians why u guys hate MI ?

tbh i have hardly seen anyone supporting MI

 

[Noobosauras]

Because many Indians hate Reliance and dodgy business practices of Ambani family.
Plus they are filthy rich and spend exorbitant sums without using their head much during auctions. Their first response is to buy their way out of anything.

And lastly because they traded Maxwell and Mitchell Johnson last season. LOL

Sounds like Mallya family. No one in entire Asia spends money like him.

He is in SRH now

 

[Noobosauras]

yeah thats the third team on my hate list

RCB < MI < KKR on my hate list

 

[Zaad]

CSK will win tonight, KKR have won 9 straight and CSK will hand them their first lost!

 

[desi_launda]

KKR win toss and field first

 

[mithun_minhas]

Go CSK.

Show everyone who the boss is

 

[Straight_Drive]

Go CSK.

Show everyone who the boss is

KXIP showed CSK who the boss is by beating them 3 times in a row in the last IPL

 

[mithun_minhas]

CSK is playing KKR now.

Kings were playing superb when they beat CSK. Thats a long time ago. Players form change.

I want CSK to win because, it has a lot of key Indian players for wc 2015.

Well KKR is already the BOSS by winning the IPL (So close yet so far Punjab )

 

[mithun_minhas]

Winner of CL T20 gets 2.5 Million.

 

[Electron]

Gambhir looked so angry during the toss.

 

[Strike Rate]

Winner of CL T20 gets 2.5 Million.

and .5 million for participating? so 3 million? how much money the highest wicket taker and run scorer get?

 

[desi_launda]

and .5 million for participating? so 3 million? how much money the highest wicket taker and run scorer get?

200,000 for group stages

 

[Strike Rate]

200,000 for group stages

but that should be canceled? because team reach final and earning much? or they pay that group stages and semi final amount too even if you win final?

 

[mithun_minhas]

What a loaded Batting power CSK got.

Smith/BMac/Faf/Raina/Bravo/MSD/Jaddu/Ashwin

Thats a pretty good T20 Batting line up. Hard to beat.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Good pace by Cummins.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

lol @ Rameez.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Dropped by YP.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Bad drop.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Beautiful bowling by Cummins.

 

[mithun_minhas]

by BMac

Still a great over by Pat.

 

[Electron]

CSK is an unstoppable force with the bat.

 

[mithun_minhas]

CSK off to a flyer.

Smith and BMac rampaging.

Good bowling by Cummins, but the batsman had played very well so far.

 

[Zeshan547]

Good over by narine,

 

[Zeshan547]

At this rate chenai seem to heading toward a 200+ total, and by the look of it pitch is as flat as they come.

 

[Tridibans_16]

CSK will show others who is the boss

 

[mithun_minhas]

KKR back in the game.

BMac

 

[mithun_minhas]

Phainty for Yadav.

He is a Test match bowler, but always plays in T20's

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina is the dangerous hitter here

 

[PakFan2010]

Looking at these two sides, Lahore is going to struggle big time.
The Lions need to draft in Razzaq to add some strength to their bottom end.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both teams are evenly matched here

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK have incredible batting depth.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Raina is in very good touch. Need atleast 170 on this pitch against the strong batting line up of KKR.

 

[Justcrazy]

71.2

9 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

***! worst lbw decision ive ever seen! given out lbw when its hit a batmens arm! Big Mac must have been fuming!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Raina is in very good touch. Need atleast 170 on this pitch against the strong batting line up of KKR.

CSK will score 180 easily here.

Still Bravo/MSD/Jaddu to come. Enough fire power to carry them.

 

[mithun_minhas]

***! worst lbw decision ive ever seen! given out lbw when its hit a batmens arm! Big Mac must have been fuming!

Indian umpires.

 

[Justcrazy]

77 / 2

10 overs

 

[mithun_minhas]

I am expecting one of these two to go nuts in the next couple of overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

81 / 2

11 overs

 

[the Great Khan]

LL big underdogs but it will be a good experience for them. Doubt they'll get out of the group but they have done well to get here. That CSK lineup is like a world eleven lol.

 

[Justcrazy]

Narine back on

 

[desi_launda]

 

[desi_launda]

Raina gone lbw

 

[Abhilash93]

CLT20 injury list: Zaheer Khan, Rohit Sharma, Praveen Kumar, Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, JP Duminy, Jacques Kallis, Morne Morkel, Mitchell Johnson, Dale Steyn
Also Shakib will miss CL due to discliplinary issues.

Woah long list that!

 

[mithun_minhas]

KKR back in the game.

Narine delivering.

 

[Justcrazy]

Narine strikes

 

[mithun_minhas]

Poor decision from Dharmasena.

It was a no-ball.

 

[Straight_Drive]

KKR showing who's the BOSS

 

[desi_launda]

Poor decision from Dharmasena.

It was a no-ball.

not the first time

2 decisions against CSK this match. will not be happy

 

[mithun_minhas]

conspiring against his own team

 

[mithun_minhas]

Narine dominating in a T20 game again.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dhoni comes and plays 2 dot balls of Narine.

Gosh he is such a dummy against good spinners.

How many times have I seen him play dot balls after dot balls in IPL against spinners?

 

[Justcrazy]

84.3

12 overs

 

[desi_launda]

RR below 7

 

[desi_launda]

86/4

 

[mithun_minhas]

How can the umpire be sure that Faf was out?

CSK getting royally screwed by umpires here.

 

[Electron]

^^ It was out. Shadows showed the bails dislodged when foot was still in the air.

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[mithun_minhas]

^^ It was out. Shadows showed the bails dislodged when foot was still in the air.

Not sure man. The benefit should go to the batsman.

Umpires seem to be trigger happy against CSk today. 3rd umpire is even worse than the ones in the field.
