Zap_Brannigan Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 So what would your odds be? For 20? For 50? 1:3 for 20 or less against RR 2:1 for a 50 or more against RR Not mathematics but a 50 in a T20 is very hard.
The Outsider Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 1:3 for 20 or less against RR 2:1 for a 50 or more against RR Not mathematics but a 50 in a T20 is very hard. 1:4 for 20 and 2:1 for 50 and we are on.
Zap_Brannigan Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 You want my 2000 $ to add to your 5.8 million $ ??

Zap_Brannigan Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Thank you for your generosity but you are enabling a gambler :D The reason i lost all my money by betting on DC even when i thought CSK would win was not because i thought it would make me more money, i just didnt see it properly and bet on the wrong team. But now your money is mine to spend. So the next CSK Vs RR match is tomorrow. I will try to bet (conservatively) on the 2 games before than and try to make more money to bet with outsider.
ViruRulez Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Hayden is a legend .. he is brutal and fearless like Veeru but the best part is that he is consistent and does not gift away his wicket normally ... he has been quite consistent thoughout his batting career although being ruthless Hayden + Gilly was the main reason for the Aussies being almost unbeatable for almost a decade and their retirement has made the Aussies a normal team which has been defeated by even beggars in Dubai Hayden is a legend and Gilly is also also quite efficient.. however the power and raw force with which Hayden bats cannot be compared to anybody else
Anakin Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 May be Hayden is just more relaxed without the pressure of all the games played prior to this circus
vvvslaxman Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 He is one of the most intimidating opener of this era infact any era.
Ram Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Haydos’ performance shows that sports is all in the mind. Six months ago, this same Hayden was a picture of doubt and fragility against South Africa at home. A few months rest later, with all the pressures of representing your country gone, the old and dominant Hayden is now making a comeback. On a related note, guys like Hayden, Gilly, Warne, Kumble etc must be absolutely loving the IPL. All they have to do is to play for only 7 weeks a year. In return, they get a handsome financial windfall and also get to experience the excitement and adrenalin that comes with international professional sport. Also, unlike the retired stars of yesteryears, they don’t get to spend all the time at home doing nothing or taking vacations and seeing their waist-lines bulge beyond recognition. Now, coz they have participate in the IPL, they still have to stay in shape and train routinely, which must be great for them. Overall, IPL is an absolute win-win proposition for these guys!
coffee_rules Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Hate the CSK now..Anybody beat them please..Go Warne!!!!
f.b.m Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Haydos’ performance shows that sports is all in the mind. Six months ago, this same Hayden was a picture of doubt and fragility against South Africa at home. The doubt and fragility could have been the small matter of playing in much more testing conditions against better bowlers but, oh well...
Zap_Brannigan Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Outsider, put me 15,000 on hayden atleast 20 and 15,000$ on hayden atleast 50
Zap_Brannigan Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I shouldnt have but reverse reverse jinxing is more important than IPL $
zubinpepsi Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I shouldnt have but reverse reverse jinxing is more important than IPL $ :haha::haha: sent u a MIL.. use it wisely...:icflove:
King Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 As usual. Hayden scores and scores quickly again. Again captaincy can contribute but cannot over power the ability of players. Hayden had the better of RR today. It's all good to hear and read about captaincy moving rocks on the ground but literally it doesn't happen that way.

Hayden had the better of RR today. It's all good to hear and read about captaincy moving rocks on the ground but literally it doesn't happen that way. Agree with it...The other thing is you really need to understand Hayden's weaknesses (in 20/20) and your bowling's strength to come up with a plan. Just making Pathan bowl the first over isnt going to work everytime. (Although it might have, had Warne kept a slip). So, I'd say the captaincy itself wasnt the best. One thing I realized about Hayden is i) He doesnt like to play off the backfoot against spinners. He'd rather keep sweeping and come down the track. ii) Hayden plays the same shots over and over again (however risky they might be). That's his strength but it can be made his weakness if one can anticipate and frustrate him.
