IPL 2014: Official Thread

[Shatterpoint]

Haha conceivably, Kolkata's attack (at any stage in this tournament) could contain Vinay Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Pat Cummins and Andre Russell. Lucky they have Narine, else they'd be conceding 400 every second match!

Mumbai have a strong team as well, and Tendulkar is assistant coach isn't he? And they have a great coach in John Wright as well.

Mumbai are a well-drilled unit. They don't have much depth in terms of internationals though.

Mumbai are a well-drilled unit. Will make a controversial call and say that by the end of the season, Mike Hussey won't be a first choice player.

Why do you think that?

Actually changed my mind when I looked over their squad. I think his powers will diminish with age, as it does for most. But they don't have many other International options so he should be fine.

Yeah, but he does need to perform, they have a decent batting line up.

Bit of a collapse here from KKR, 4/146 in the 19th. Time for Yusuf Pathan to actually do something.

163 is a very decent score on this pitch

I really liked the KKR uniforms last night. The inside of the MI collars where too shiny.

India Time YouTube site. It has live streaming of games, including replays and highlights that are posted later.

First world problems?

It's more about how Indian's prefer bright colours with heaps of pattern and design. Shopping for plain clothing in India is so annoying.

Yep that's why I love going to India, one of the many, many reasons are the amazing colors, when you go to India before you step out of the airport you need to make sure you turn on the HD filters in your brain from 7 to 100.

Looked at the squads. Going to try and follow the Sunrisers this season.

 

[Moo]

I follow whoever I bet on

This, I still bet on IPL even though it is probably fixed . Had Mumbai last night , but did have Kallis to top score

Good. I have been a Hyderabad supporter since the start (season 1). We are going to win this thing this season.

I follow whoever I bet on

Are you... Sreesanth?

 

[Aussie_boy]

On the note of following teams, I went for Kolkata at the start mainly due to Gayle and McCullum opening partnership. If I was going to pick a team for this season it would be either Rajasthan or Hydrabad because of the Aussie influence, but i'll take Rajasthan because the Sunrisers have Dhawan

 

[Miqar_Baqfhied]

Im going with the Knight Riders. Narine, Kallis, Russell, Gambhir, Cummins, M Morkel, Shakbib Al Hasan - holy cow

 

[Shatterpoint]

Geez Bangalore are a stacked team have a look at their top 3 Kohli, AB, Gayle. Kohli amd AB are easily the top 2 bats in the world.

 

[Aussie_boy]

What I would call the weakest team on paper vs the strongest tonight, Dehli don't look great especially without KP and Bangalore with Gayle, Ab, Kohli and dare I say Yuvraj

Hmm interesting, Gayle not playing but Maddinson is, also Starc is playing

 

[Carbine Chaos]

One does not simply drop Kohli twice in one over.

Different season, different players, same s**t from Delhi.

 

[Oaktree]

RCB looked really dangerous tonight. With that batting lineup, on talent are the best on paper in the tournament.

I dunno if they're bowling is as strong, but they are comfortably a top 4 side.

Think it's time you start supporting the SunRisers.

The Rhondas? I'll stick with DDD.
