Guest HariSampath Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 No Arguments.- just a question. How is that relevant to the discussion where Chennaiwas beaten by Royals, and instead of supporting your team you came up with the excuse that Dhoni's goat curse and that he's now a bad and one-dimensional captain? Yeah, Mumbai has not performed well by any means but at least we, as supporters, aren't saying its because Sachin killed an innocent chicken and ate its biryani last night :P Nor did we criticize Bhajji and Pollock for their captaincy when the team was losing, and suddenly hail them as the best captains in the world now that the team's won 2 games. :P You, on the other hand, are saying something very similar. Where have I ever given ANY excuse for the loss to RR as the goat ? are you insane ? read that post. I had dealt with it totally on cricketing merit, CSK's mistakes and RR's brilliant cricket.....apparently the "goat reference" and the "lambs for slaughter" meaning did not sinn into you....'nuff said, i cant help it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_South Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hari - Sachin is the GREATEST player in cricketing history , he has played cricket for more than 20 years. (well u have been smokin for the past 25 years ) Why do u keep referring his Groin problem ? If he's fit , i'm sure he'll play in IPL , if not then its his choice.Afterall what's the point in having so much wealth with a bad Health ? Mark my Words - Chennai will not win IPL.

Guest Hiten. Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Half that team went to ICL...and Chennai won the ICL T20...half that side is still here and we will win the IPL too. Now why doesnt your "star" not play in IPL ? and keeos checking groin injury every one hour ? LOl...groin injuries are expected to become better any morning' date= any hour ? like toothache or temparature ? :hysterical:...and what happened to all "stars" in other teams...like Bangalore, Mumbai, Punjab etc...how come they lose to Chennai in IPL, National, ICL and every where ??Chennai Superstars Squad Chennai's Winning T-20 team Half of the team in ICL ?:hmmmm: Boolsheet.

swami1984 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Boolsheet. Chennai Superstars Squad Chennai's Winning T-20 team Half of the team in ICL ?:hmmmm: Chennai won ICL a year ago...Hyd beat Lahore this year (Lahore was just unstoppable before the finals) - me thinks they took money to underperform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HariSampath Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 hey swami...1 point to you for warne's captaincy , and one for RR winning, 1 for Dhoni playing spin and 1 more game to go :-) but 1 to me for Murali having better figures than Warne today ( although it was an insignifican wkt and Warne's wkt was more crucial and he should have had one more :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianRenegade Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Some Chennaiites claim they are the BEST SPORTING crowd in India. Mumbai Loss 4 consecutive games. We kept our cool and still rooted for Mumbai Indians :-D Chennai won 4 consecutive games, CSK supporters came out and opened threads like "somebody beat us". Next thing we know they are on losing streak now. Now that CSK is on losing streak, Harisampath has totally lost it and is opening threads to deny that CSK is on a downhill slope. HAHAHAHAHAHAH..... THUMBS UP TO MI SUPPORTERS. YESSHHHH THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE :D For the sake of argument lets assume what hari & the other guy did was unsporting, that adds up to 2. Now, Do you even have an Idea abt the population of CSK fans? What are you trying to prove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grame Smith and the others knew the target was incredibly low, and knew the bowlers to negotiate. They knew Murali was good and decided not to hit him out, and rather just play each ball for its merit. Warne gave away some runs but from what I saw most of them were mishits (plus, one crucial dropped catch by Yusuf Pathan, which may have saved more runs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HariSampath Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well said MM. IPL is a circus and is meant for giggles. But some are taking it too seriously and with regional bias. Finey Sriram I entirely agree that some here take regionalism way too seriously....the word MM used "retarded" is quite perfect as the "ICF owner" has just "banned" me from the ICF staff, meaning how seriously they take comments on SRT by me. and to the extent "regional regionalism" is tolerantly controlled ( regionalism against Chennai, tamils, rajnikants, idli sambhar suckers etc are all fine, but the moment some others retaliate, you get banned and "demoted" as an ICF staff member LOL :hysterical: ) Some Mumbai fans are way OTT here especially when it comes to Chennaiites and Chennai. Regionalism is taken way too far and to such an extent when Chennai ppl call their city fans sporting, Ticz was actually saying " its because of the "northies" in Chepauk"...thereby uniting Mumbai with Northies and striking a blow for regional integration. Anyways...I am waiting for ICF's "verdict" on me LOL........and I may not post here again as I have been told my posts will be deleted...by the Shah of ICF who owns ICF :hysterical: who has issued a "fatwa" :omg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swami1984 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well said MM. IPL is a circus and is meant for giggles. But some are taking it too seriously and with regional bias. Dude I don't think the people running IPL think of it as a circus and serious companies like DLF (that frikken name is stuck in my head because of that stupid sixes award), Reliance, Deccan, UB etc. didn't spend so much money on it for giggles. In fact, they're glad to see this regionalism taking place. Kind of like English people arguing over Manchester United versus Liverpool (have no clue about EPL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
