It will be too tight.....no one knows a winner...... Luck may decide the winner!! RR have been wonderfully consistent and CSK are red hot right now...
Greg Chappell argued the case that Raina was the most promising talent and needs to be encouraged.In bashing Greg and blindly supporting Dada,Raina was ignored.Now he has shown that he is India's brightest batting prospect.He is far ahead of Yuvraj in attitude.Yuvraj scores once in 10 matches and his reputation is built on some sixes in some matches.But Raina is far more intelligent,humble and consistent.So Raina shd always bat at 3 and Dhoni shd back him.

But Irony is that such players are given very few or rare chances and if they fail, they are dumped.
But see, players like Yuvraj, Ganguly, or even Uthappa are given many many chances. These player come good in 1 out 10 innings and retain their places.

Raina has worked very hard on his technique....if he can overcome his weaknesses against the short ball, he will be an automatic choice even for tests......

Uthappa should consider changing his name to Sathappa (with M.N. Nambiar accent).
Many have been deriding southern players as idli,sambar guys.Yesterday the idli,sambar team led by Dhoni routed the arrogant King's 11.Justice has been done.What can be worse than the Punjab lions being taunted and trounced by the Chennai team.

Idli Sambar tastes better than the stinking chapathis invented by Paki ancestors.

I don't know which tastes better but all i know is that there is no better breakfast than a medu vada idli sambar dish....most nourishing!!!
So many said Chennai people will cry, Punjab will thrash CSK , Dhoni will pack .What happenned to them.As I said it is not strong team which matters , only team which puts brave face matters.Saw two sixes of Raina , nobody thought such a thin person can hit that too of Hopes and Pathan.Have confidence in yourself , and think before you criticise anybody.All of thos Dhoni bashers have ran away.Where is ABCD ,Janardhan,Sachin ?All of them have gone into hiding .Shame on you fellows ,I challenged them to come to the same portal .Nobody came.Have confidence in yourself ,then only you can achieve.Tommorrow can be anybody's game , but It is Versus a Indian Captain and an Aussie .Only Indians Can support Indians .It is not Luck Dhoni has won T20 and Aussie oned ay .It is his captainship.Whatever happens tommorow , Lets wish our Indian Captain all the best.Luck is small arm of the clock ,Hardwork and planning are the large arm of the clock.When both work We get the clock ringing.

Raina is thin?????????? LOL!! I have seen Raina in the lobby of the Grand Maratha Sheraton and he is stocky and strong.....muscular with a height of around 5'11....dunno how you drew the conclusion that he is thin??
Unless "thin' is the term that you use for any person who is not built like Hayden or Jacob Oram.....

Uthappa is good but surely Raina has more talent...... MI did not use Utappa well....they under-utlized him...had he opened, it could have been great for MI!!
Jadeja is a monster talent.....Venugopal Rao got some chances for India in 2005 and 2006 but flopped badly!!

Cool ,Rambo dont get so much iriitated.As i told why thes guys where after Dhoni ,is still surprising.maybe the only fact excluded Ganguly fromIndian team against Aussie.Sentiments and no statedeelings should be in the selection of Indian team.Dhoni wantd a young team.these guys are irritated .
RR supporters are cribbing that Smith is out of the final due to hamstring injury.....but i think it is a blessing in disguise...this will give opportunity to explosive Kamran Akmal at the top of the order along with Asnodkar...
And gives RR the excuse to drop that useless fellow Mahesh Rawat.......and get in Neeraj Patel as a pure batsman......not bad at all!!!!

One MI supporting idiot Mash says, Dhoni is imported captain to CSK. As if Pollock was born and brought up in Mumbai
DHONI : His success is against all odds. Should he be ridiculed becasue he is not from Bombay or Calcutta. Should he be ridiculed because he HAD NO Godfather , unlike Ganguly who was favoured to the hilt by Sambaran bannerjee (selector from Calcutta) and later by Dalmiya Because he comes from a small town?
All world is praising him, the way he maintains cool on field. Just see he has been playing for just over 2 years and he has been given captaincy, which Dravid and Tendulkar were not able to handle after so much experience (THESE WORTHIES RAN AWAY FROM SHOULDERING THIS RESPONSIBILITIES).
