Recommended Posts

CSK is experienced, has batting and bowling depth, and everyone seems to be in form.

 

They are the favourites this IPL, for sure.

 

The playing XI will get even stronger if they drop Jaddu and play a specialist batsman.

 

Watson

Rayudu

Raina

Billings / DuPlessis

*+ Dhoni

Shorey ?

Bravo

Bhajji

Chahar

Thakur

Tahir

Faf over Tahir 

Who are your 2 lead spinners then? Bhajji and Karn?

 

Tahir is a wicket taking bowler. He can pick up a wicket anytime and change the course of the game. You should play him in the XI.

 

Us neutrals obviously want him to play for his elegant celebrations.

MI - 3

CSK - 2

KKR - 2

RR - 1

Deccan Chargers - 1

 SRH - 1

 

K11P have a chance this year for the maiden trophy.

In an ideal World, Yes. However this is the IPL World under Governing Council... When a deal was already done that if CSK gets banned for 2 years, they’ll be given the title on the comeback year, it’ll be honoured. On top of it CSK has to move to Pune also. So Governing Council owes a lot to them...

 

KXIP is currently in the mix because GC has decided to make the tournament competitive. So they’ve allowed the quality of cricket to go down the level of KXIP, DD level... (its another matter that now its gone down below PSL level)... Same is the case of Umpiring level with strict instructions to ignore waiste high No Balls & Free Hits...

I don't see Mumbai winning again even though they have been the most successful franchisee. They have reached law of averages. This year it would be someone else. Its impossible to win year after year. Even a team like Mumbai had to wait one or two years in between to get their next wins. What's your view. Don't you think law of averages will strike ?

 

Agree with most of your post. The quality is low and the simple dropped catches are suspicious. Add to it no balls and edges not given. Do you think only 3 cricketers and 2 franchisees were involved in fixing episode.? What's your view on that as well.

Since it looks difficult for Mumbai to even make to playoffs, obviously this is cheating CSK's year. Rest teams are just fillers in IPL.

It's not only CSK who have cheated with no ball, Mumbai cheated as well with Hardik Pandya's edge. Punjab dropped catches raises eyebrows. Yes CSK has history of being involved in fixing but other teams are certainly getting benefits in decision, even though not involved in fixing like CSK.  Yes, CSK were serious offenders but RR too were equally corrupt. What I mean is that in IPL fans never no who are fillers and who aren't. Does it has enough face value.
