amits Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 if u r having 2 teams play twice each other in the league, then the same format should be there in the semis & finals as well with a best of 3 semis & best of 3 finals to make it more fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sharma Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best of three to decide SF and finals. Or in current format, give home advantage to the top two teams in SF and decide likewise in finals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amits Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yes' date=' I've been saying it since the start of last year's IPL - it is idiotic to play 56 games to eliminate 4 out of 8 teams.[/quote'] well said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Lol, what else do you expect in a knock-out game? First of all, I wouldn’t even call this an upset win. Its pretty obvious to anyone who knows the teams relatively well to understand that no single team simply outclasses any other team. So, this result is in perfect line with what should have expected.

amits Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 It should always be best of three in semis and finals. That would be appropriate. well said BTW its always nice to see delhi loose. They are paying the price for not picking Mcgrath, Good job Nannes :--) and also paying price for making shitwag captain. i had said this earlier, gambhir should be the captain. he was very impressive in his captaincy in the matches he captained, but when shitwag returned, he spoilt the winning combination by becoming captain again. even harbhajan singh was a better captain than shitwag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amits Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 and i am not crying or whinging. last year in team 1 v team 4 final, i was supporting rajasthan royals & wanted them to beat us. delhi winning last years semi would have been very unfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 are yaar-this is just IPL2-i predict there will be 2 or even 4 more teams in 5-6 years.i think even the NFL had 8 teams when it started. So change the format when the number of teams increase. Why should the number 1 team over 56 matches have to face a number 4 team in a cr@pshoot. If you want to have semi finals, have a round robin competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 well said and also paying price for making shitwag captain. i had said this earlier, gambhir should be the captain. he was very impressive in his captaincy in the matches he captained, but when shitwag returned, he spoilt the winning combination by becoming captain again. even harbhajan singh was a better captain than shitwag dude even Gambhir sucks. He also didnt bother to pick Mcgrath. Its a simple math.... rotate your bowlers and keep 'em fresh. These guys are nowhere near Dhoni. I'm glad India are under Dhoni. Sehwag is a miserable captain. Unimaginative and doesn't know when things goes out of hands. Delhi did well only based on brilliant performances by Dilshan and ABD(always)& Last minute rescues by dinesh kartik helped the team. bowling, field placing wise.... its a very ordinary captaincy. Lets see how Dhoni does his part when he has to face the song. From what I have seen Dhoni never gives up a loss so easily...he will push it to the brink (eg: last match against BRC and KXIP with low scores to defend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
