[Azam6380]

GUys, what channel is this on? Setanta?

 

[jusarrived]

Bangalore winning this one ......the bongs are no match for us !

 

[Saj]

Whilst some are against this type of tournament, but you have to admire the star studded lineups of some of the teams.

So its likely that Hafeez will be the only Pakistani player in action today.

 

[Master Blaster]

Bully Gayle to blast his 2nd TT 100 today !!

Knight Riders are my 3rd fav team, so would be supporting them tonight.

BTW, the only guy i like in Royal Challengers is..........errrrrr no one !!

 

[CricnPak]

Game starts at 10:30 EST

 

[waquas_uk]

only 4 foreign players can play for each team i think it should be at least 5

 

[pakistani]

by the way will pakistan players play today since they have 1 more match against Bang tommorow. Will misbah play today ???

 

[Saj]

by the way will pakistan players play today since they have 1 more match against Bang tommorow. Will misbah play today ???

no they wont. Only Hafeez I think will be available.

 

[world_peace]

i think the first few game will tell us if this whole IPL thig is going to be a one hit wonder or a thing for the future.

 

[CricketBuff]

Is any channel showing this game in Canada ?

 

[purplehaze]

Looks like a full house. Shankar Mahadevan performing "jhoom barabar jhoom" live...

 

[Master Blaster]

The stadium is jam packed !!

2 hours to go for the start of the match, maybe !!

 

[purplehaze]

Poor singing. Wonder why can't they just act a pre-recorded song....

[surfer]

Electrifying environment there. What a start.

[Geordie Ahmed]

It sounded like some buddha was getting booed - what was that about?

 

[Indiagem]

So finally Modi speaks.

 

[Oxy]

It sounded like some buddha was getting booed - what was that about?

All the speakers have been booed (out of boredom).

Modhi took the podium as if he was 'star' of IPL - raising his arms as if he had just hit the winning runs in the final!

Took about 5 secs of his monotony and BS before the crowd starting jeering!!

They are here for the cricket!!!

 

[Indiagem]

Thank you Modi...now please GO

 

[Indiagem]

"I fear the IPL can be a serious distraction and destruction if the International Cricket Council (ICC) doesn't intervene because it involves huge money and players are ready to abandon international cricket," Akram told AFP Monday.
