With all due respect, WTF is Dravid playing in a 20/20 game? Is that some kind of sick April fools joke?

Yeah don't know WTF Bangalore was thinking. Dravid,kallis and jaffer in the same 20-20 team. Neither one of them are 20-20 players.
 
Thankfully these games are short so I can record them with my pvr. Working the whole day tomorrow.:(

This tournament is going to rock.
 
Amazing innings. Can't wait to see the highlights...

One of the few less-publicised aspects of the Indian Premier League (IPL) concerns the orange helmet kept at each of the eight franchise venues. After each round of matches this strange accessory - the IPL's answer to the Tour de France's yellow jersey - is handed to the competition's leading run-scorer. After tonight's pièce de résistance at the Chinnaswamy, it will take something bordering on the miraculous to deprive Brendon McCullum of his dubious honour.

Pretty cool idea. :)
 
I'll be supporting Mumbai! They seem to have the strongest team, the game I wanna see is Chenai vs Mumbai! Should be a cracker!
 
Was watching the highlights of yesterday's games. Some fun stuff there.

Did anyone watch the game with Symonds as captain of the one team? It was hilarious. The pitch had a 'large hole' at the one end which was making batting difficult, to say the least :)
 
Overall some great cricket in the IPL this wicket.

McCullum was on fire, and setup a new 20/20 record for the Knight Riders, only for that to be smashed the very next day when Chennai Super kings Scored 240/5 Michael Hussey scoring 100 of 50 balls!

Great entertainment to be expected over the next 6 weeks:)

It was Michael Hussey not David. David is his brother and plays for the knight riders.

Crazy! :eek:

Apparently not all of the wickets are like the one Symonds was on then. hehe.
 
My support goes to the Mumbai Indians. With Bosman and Tendulkar included the batting looks damn good. Now all that has to happen is Nehra needs to get back to form quick!

Eish, my bad - watched all the games, even getting confused who plays for who now. Will correct my post.

I am finding it challenging to remember all the details of the teams, new players, home grounds, team owners, coaches, etc.

Its a lot to take in. So used to just having countries playing against each other.
