wow.

My sentiment exactly. Has to be one of the bigger upsets and not just 'cause we all :erm: all but one, thought that it was MI who should've walked that.

Congrats to TPK for your prediction

I cannot think of a game more suited to Chris Gayle's style of play... it's as if T20 was designed for him!!

I'm pretty sure if he wasn't playing cricket, he'd make a good drug dealer.. Maybe even a pimp.
I agree tho, T20 suits his style of cricket but, i find it amazing that he couldn't ever do this for the windies. Not even in T20's.. Pressure of captaincy? or the money of RCB? mind you, he never really did well for KKR..

To be honest I've barely watched the IPL due to the feeling that there has been far too much cricket. However, I hear our boys are doing well!
