BCCI kindly select the players who has the ability to face any kind of bowler bowled. Kindly select some good hitters batsman and good striking bowler. Please don't select the players like Agarkar, Bangar. Now the IPL Comes to an end. Please all Indian Players should work as the team to perform in the Bangaladesh and in Asia Cup. India Keep on going........
First of all, Congratulations to RR. They deserve IPL trophy. Points to be noted in RR team; 1. Lead by an Australian (All know that they are the best) 2. Treated IPL as Cricket and not as Entertainment 3. Team work 4. Team is know by its players and not the franchisee Owner. (Any one know who is the owner?) 5. Young and energetic team lead by World class player

1ST POINT: THEY ARE THE BIG CHEATS. YOU SHOULD BE KNOWING THIS WHEN WE TOURED AUSTRALIA. IF THEY ARE THE BEST THEN WHY DECCAN CHARGES CAPTAIN THE AUSTRALIAN GILCHRIST LOST ALMOST ALL THE GAMES? SO YOU MEAN THEY ARE WORST?
2ND POINT: SO DO YOU SAY DHONI, TENDULKAR, ETC. TREATED THE GAME AS ENTERTAINMENT AND NOT CRICKET??????????
3RD POINT: OTHER TEAMS WON AND LOST ONLY BECUASE OF THE TEAM WORK. WHEN MUMBAI INDIANS LOST, IT IS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF TENDULKAR BUT THE WHOLE TEAM. DO YOU AGREE????? AS DHONI SAID WE LOST AS A TEAM. WHICH CAPTAIN HAS EVER SAID THIS? HATS OFF TO DHONI.
4TH POINT IS BASELESS. TELL ME WHO IS THE OWNER OF CHENNAI SUPER KINGS? MUMBAI INDIANS? ETC. YOU MUST BE KNOWING THE OWNERS OF PUNJAB AND KOLKATTA TEAMS. OTHERS YOU MUST NOT BE KNOWING.
5TH POINT: AS IF OTHER TEAMS DOESNOT HAVE YOUNG AND ENERGETIC PLAYERS LEAD BY GREAT CAPTAINS. CAPTAINS LIKE GANGULY, TENDULKAR, DHONI, GILCHRIST.
YOU MUST ANSWER ALL THESE NOW. THINK AND ANALYSE PROPERLY.

Dear Siva kumar, can you answer the question "why the trio (Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly( declined to play in T20 worldcup for India but immediately agreed to play in IPL 20-20 tournament?". They had passed lot of comments such as T20 is not good for cricket etc.etc....now it looks ok to them. If you honestly reply my question, you will get the answer for your 2nd point.

hi ashpal, I dont think the trio declined to play T20 worldcup. instead they were not selected in the squad of youngsters. They now play IPL as they got a chance. Yes somewhat i agree that they play for entertainment and they are included in the team for pulling crowd.

well i guess our batting legends trio are finished now they dont have any thing to prove now ...as sachin is unfit again ganguly is not that kind of form to get selected in national team instead of better performer like suresh raina and yusuf pathan infact he batted in 2 games only .about dravid he already had admitted that t20is not his kind of game
RE:RR played Cricket !! nothing else

Sorry, bro. Please check the history. Before the Indian team selection, The trio declared themselves as not Available for T20 worldcup. hence, they were not in the team. Sachin's interview where he spoke against T20 format in cricket, is also live in my memory. These 3 are the best cricket asset India has. we cannot find good textbook cricketers such as Sachin and Dravid. Their attitude is questionable. that's all.

Hi shivkumar, thanks for your comments. First of all, I am talking about RR's success, rather than other teams failures.
I am not pointing at any of the great players like Schin, Ganguly. etc. Infact they are my favorite players.
Technically speaking Australians are good cricketers there is no doubt about it. May be their behavior is not good. I agree with that.
In case of Deccan Chargers, Gilcrist came very late in to the action. It was VVS who was leading team.
And if you think that by talking good about one person, I am critisizing other good players, then I am sorry. But you should understand that I am not doing so. Infact I have not taken any names in my comments.

Hey praveen,
good obervation.but totally ur wrong.i think nobody knows the owner of chennaisuperkings.
i think the winner of the IPL is fixed when the frenchise auction time.
they chose RR because to boost the frenchise auction money next time. u can see the same Yyousaf pathan performance in bangaladesh sure iam telling he canot scroe more than 10 runs. RR original strenth is wecan saw their first nmatch agaist DD where they lost in worst.
so u can see the yousaf pathan how playing in Bangladesh series.if he failed means can u belive IPL is fixed

Dear Shivakumar, I am surprised at your thinking speed and direction, Just now only you were talking about Dhoni, tendulkar etc. and now you are saying that IPL is itself fixed. Make up your mind bro. looks like you hate RR like anything. do you have any personal grevainces with RR team?

Dear Praveen 1.Please reset your memory.India won the T20 cup under Dhoni as captain.Chennai reached Final under Dhoni as captain.If fielder like Raina drops catch of Pathan then you can not blame Captain.And I think Dhoni is an Indian.Whole world is praing Dhoni(Indian) and you are doing Chaplusi of Australian. 2.This is your personal view point.No body likes to loose even in Carrom played at home which is purely for entertainment. 3.Typical Indian mindset. 4.You seems to be more intrested in knowing the details of the Franchise,hence you know it.I don't know who is the owner of Chennai and Hyderabad team even. 5.Young and energitic team lead by an old man.

Good analysis. Except point 4 , rest are fine. Had they performed poorly as RCB, we would have come to know of their owner. Team show. RR deserved it , they were the best team in tournament in all departments.

My be you are right, What I want to say is, Media hyped about Shah rukh or Mallya owning a team. Media covered alot about them. And one thing for Franchisees to learn is, pay your player only what he deserves and not on just marketing value. Ultimately 'its performance rather than Brand value'
Dhoni ..Please select Kapugedera for Indian National Squad too...You can very much neglate Badrinath..who is very good batsmen in tamilnadu team...He is not utilised properly..good captaincy dhoni
RE:Dhoni ..Please select Kapugedera
by Ravi Kumar on Jun 02, 2008 02:42 PM Permalink
Dhoni is rude, show off player with attitude. He always make blunt comments when ever he gets chance.. He was thinking himself as a DON of indian team after T20 world cup. This is a lesson to dhoni about his attitude. Now he should learn to remain a player not the DON of the Team.
RE:Good Bowling Balaji...the great
by Ashpal on Jun 02, 2008 01:55 PM Permalink
Out of the top 8 leading wicket takers in IPL , 6 are Indians. Balaji is not in the list. How can BCCI consider someone not among the best.
RE:Good Bowling Balaji...the great
by Kannan S on Jun 02, 2008 02:33 PM Permalink
No Balaji should concentrate on his economy rate before looking for a berth in indian team.
I think the win which rajastan is enjoying is not a easy win . See chennai 5 wickets lost but rajastan 7 wickets lost. And most important was the mistakes made by chennai .two catches dropped . two run outs missed.. But they definitely were a threat to the Royals.. And dhoni bhai not letting his team.. Generally when any team loses..they just get dispersed But did u watched dhone forming a circle and speaking to the team members.. That is the true leadership quality. I bet no other captain have ever done this or will do this in IPL. Did u also noted that when Ravi shastri was trying to get the thing out from Dhoni about the turning point of the match ..Dhoni replied that they lost the match as a team.. Well done Dhoni.. Keep it up..

Agree with you, brother. Dhoni is good captain and indeed a valuable player for Indian T20 team. To be fare, RR deserve to be the winner and they were. RR filled with many youngsters some of whom we had never heard of. There is no one man dependency and superb team effort. If one can recall, they had different match winners in each match. They had won matches even when they lost 4 to 5 wickets in the begining 5 overs. In this format, the team that won most number of matches, should be adjourned as winner. RR were really the best team.
RE:Definitely not a easy win..
by Flash Consultancy Services on Jun 02, 2008 12:53 PM Permalink
IPL to be won by RR was already scripted by Lalit Modi from the very begining of the competition. He made the team underdogs for high returns from betting. CSK was in the final because it is also owned by another BCCI functionary Srinivasan. All the other teams are not owned by the Honorary Functionaries of BCCI. The catches which were dropped by CSK only proves the point. Even Srikanth was almost not to be seen as he already knew the result. Only Lalit chamchas like Shastri, Rameez etc were harping about IPL the brain child of Lalith. Next year I hope they will not rig the tournament like this time and proper skills will appreciated, and not the underhand ones will be seen. Only one question for Mr. Modi, HOW MUCH HAS HE MADE FROM IPL?.
RE:Definitely not a easy win..

I am wondering how many of u people have started talking like these..IPL as a match fixing tournament. As if Shaun Marsh and shewag lost the match purposefully. Got ur brain dried out in the hot sun?
RE:Definitely not a easy win..
by Flash Consultancy Services on Jun 02, 2008 03:05 PM Permalink
You must be blind as a bat or an ostrich. If you havent got the game plan of Lalit Modi. If the great man of Indian Cricket asks you to oblige you better do it, otherwise your future will be doomed. One Shaun Marsh cannot win the match on his own. Finals, Nantni bowled superbly but Goni & balaji gave away the runs. So his effort went to waste. He was superb as he does not bother about Modi or his HONORARY status in BCCI. It is very difficult to make you understand if you still have not. You can have a chat with Mr. Srinivasan, who is now smarting after the defeat.

Kannan:
Well said like a true Tamilian. Now wear your Indian cap, replace CSK with MI, Dhoni with Sachin, (RR remains the same); and tell me what makes you feel that MI is an inferior team to CSK and Sachin an inferior captain to Dhoni? All your comments apply EXACTLY as they did to the last ball finish between Mumbai and Rajasthan.. ;-)
RE:Definitely not a easy win..
by Kannan S on Jun 02, 2008 12:30 PM Permalink
MI is neverthless an inferior team. They all had the big shots with them. Had they entered semifinals they would have been the only team who can threaten any other team. Be it either Delhi or Rajastan or Punjab or Chennai. May be but as far as captaincy is concerned you should accept the fact that Dhoni makes some positive difference compared to other captains. Dhoni defended his team. Sachin is an icon and even if he is in the team irrespective of whether he is the captain or not..the team members get their inspiration from him. But even i expected MI would enter semifinals. I opted for Chennai and MI for the semis.But unfortunately Delhi got in. It would have been a tough war if MI have entered semis..
RE:Definitely not a easy win..

Dhoni lacks the skill of a good Captain
1. He gave the last over to Balaji, who gave more than 30 runs in the 3 overs he bowled. 2. He Didnt consider Kapugedera or Raina who can bowl the last over. 3. Dhoni didnt sent Badrinath(who is a natural hitter) ahead of Kapugedera. 4. So Dhoni didnt utilise the adavantage of toss and batting first. 5. Dhoni didnt promote himself(as always he is scared when he dont have a good score on board) when Vidhyut got out. 6. Dhoni is a better wicket keeper than Patel. But he didnt want to take that responsibility. 7. He didnt consider Joginder Sharma(who is a good alrounder), instead of Vidyut(who failed in almost all matches). 8. Again, Dhoni didnt plan so that Ntini or Goni could bowl the last over.
RE:Definitely not a easy win..
by Ashpal on Jun 02, 2008 01:15 PM Permalink
Refer your point 1. Dhoni did the same thing in T20 Worldcup final Vs Pak. Last over was give to Joginder and we felt that he doing a mistake. It worked. Now that Balaji has failed, you cannot blame Dhoni. Blame the bowler who cannot live to the expectation.
RE:Definitely not a easy win..
by Kannan S on Jun 02, 2008 12:40 PM Permalink
Dont blame Dhoni alone dude. As he said there were many errors in batting,bowling and fielding. Suresh dropped the big catch of yousuf. Even gony dropped a catch. Some two runouts were missed. So as he said..our guys lost as a team.
