IPL team likely to win
by Mahesh Balakrishnan on Apr 14, 2008 07:00 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Everyone is giving the Bangalore team very less chance of winning,I would say they might be the surprise team of the tournament-why?
a)They have Bracken one of the meanest limited over bowler
b)Chanderpaul-one of the explosive batsman when he wants to be-just ask Vaas what he did last week
c)Steyn-we know what he did in Motera and elsewhere
d)Misbah ul haq-he almost took Pak across at T20 final
e)Zaheer- he can be brilliant
f)Boucher-he has scored the second fastest 50
g)White has scored the highest score in T20
h)KALLIS-BEST ALLROUNDER
i)Dravid dont count him out yet,best finisher after Bevan
j)Praveen Kumar well he did win 2 MOM in OZ

There are others as well,I too was fascinated by Chennai/HYd/Calcutta teams and realised that Bangalore might pull a surprise,if there is betting,-I would lay my pound on Blr.The fun is about to start let's wait and watch

Not many will be interested to hear anything about the IPL matches, unlike official internationals which are avidly followed by millions.

The very idea of the IPL smacks of condescension and an utter lack of business sense !!

YEs Mahesh we are also excite here to see IPL start soon. See ICL gets the credit for bringing in this reform to Indian cricket but its IPL which will be the norm since its supported by ICC etc. ICL is a rebel league due to political issues and i personally feel for all the players in ICL but one needs to think why ICL is not recognised by the boards. Must have been some dirt messy politics and money matters between BCCI/ICC & Subhash Chandra!
