spectre Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Dhoni, Freddie join squad in Cape Town Thursday, Apr 16 2009 Cape Town: Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff united with the squad here on Wednesday to complete the line-up ahead of the 2009 Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament. Dhoni, after captaining India to a historic series win in New Zealand earlier this month, took a few days off before flying into Cape Town to link up with the team. The Super Kings, runners-up in the inaugural IPL last year, spent a week in Durban training and played a couple of warm-up games before boarding the flight to Cape Town, the venue of their opening match against Mumbai Indians on Saturday. Flintoff, who was signed up by Super Kings at the auction earlier this year, joined the team after completing a long tour of the West Indies with the England squad. He said he had fully recovered from a few niggles that plagued him in the Caribbean and was looking forward to his debut in the IPL. Flintoff, the world’s leading all-rounder, is expected to make a huge impact besides playing a key role in the Super Kings campaign. http://www.chennaisuperkings.com/news/NewsContent.aspx?NewsID=138
flamy Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Srikkanth Anirudha, Napoleon Einstein, Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan, Suresh Kumar and Abhinav Mukund are dropped from the squad.
graphic23 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Srikkanth Anirudha' date=' Napoleon Einstein, Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan, Suresh Kumar and Abhinav Mukund are dropped from the squad.[/quote'] Thats a shame.
spectre Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Thats a shame. yes, thats a shame really, and for other teams as well who pruned their squad All in the name of cost cutting exercises :(( but one cant really blame them as well, they need to cover their losses, after all they did not want this to be moved to SA in the first place
graphic23 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Yes, but the players they cut doesn't make sense though. I thought Vidyut was shaping up well, and Mukund could've been given a few more chances.

flamy Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I dunno how it makes sense. They need Indians to balance the team and srikanth, mukund and vidyut were not bad
spectre Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Where are you guys hiding ? :giggle: One match, and you all go ga-ga :giggle: Wait for the Chennai Juggernaut to hit you all...i bet you all wont recover from it
Macj Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Aiyyo aiyyo Chennai lost because Dhoni is in the following state of mind: "No Thangamani enzoi"
zubinpepsi Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 im here.. jus one match for gods sake.. im too worried.. and the fact tht GOD was the mom made me take it easy... so :--D we will come back... dont worry all ya noobs n CSK haters.. :finger:
youngindia Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 What a disgrace! frankly guys like parthiv can go back to their ahmedabad bunglers or whatever if they like.but why is he taking the place of a local player? Vijay,mukund all deserve some exoerience. CSK management, consider yourself warned. by all means keep dhoni and raina.send all these joginders and parthivs back to the northern teams.
youngindia Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 The squad selection was pathetic.flintoff came too high. need specialists upfront.where is a replacement for hussey? allrounders to only provide depth.
zubinpepsi Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 yea it was retarded to select jogi n parthiv when we have Mukund and vijay..
