ravishingravi Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Anyone ? I can still understand the IPL being an Indian event and 26/11 having radicalized the nation at large but under what pretext are they not allowed to play in Champions league if ICC is allowing a seperate winow for it. I am not a huge admirer of Pakistan cricket and their administration at the moment but there is something basically wrong here.
J P K Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Chennai, Mumbai in same group for CLT20 hennai Super Kings, the IPL champions, and Mumbai Indians will be part of the same group in the Champions League Twenty20 starting September this year. The tournament, which runs from September 23 to October 9, will be preceded by a qualifier phase from which three teams will progress to the main round to compete with seven others. The qualifiers will be held in Hyderabad between September 19 and 21, while the main tournament will be spread across three cities - Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata. The ten teams in the tournament proper will be divided into two groups of five, with Chennai, Mumbai, New South Wales Blues, Cape Cobras and one team from the qualifier phase comprising Group A. Group B includes Royal Challengers Bangalore, Warriors, South Australia Redbacks and two teams (ranked 1 and 3) from the qualifier round. Bangalore take on Warriors in the tournament opener at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals (in Bangalore and Chennai), and the winners play the final in Chennai. The teams in the qualifiers are divided into two groups of three. Kolkata Knight Riders, a team from England and Auckland, champions of the HRV Cup, form Group A. The Caribbean T20 champions Trinidad and Tobago, another team from England and one team from Sri Lanka make up Group B. The top teams in each pool followed by the next highest ranked team will progress to the Champions League. The new Future Tours Programme (FTP) includes an official window for the Champions League, enabling international stars to participate in the competition, jointly organised by the boards of India, South Africa and Australia. http://www.espncricinfo.com/champions-league-twenty20-2011/content/story/521319.html?CMP=chrome

julianlev Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Champions League Does anyone know when the build up to the champions leagues will start? After suffering through some of the most coma-inducing test cricket I've ever seen, I'm looking forward to some more 20/20 action
Serani Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 yes I cant wait to see some club cricketers cow lash there way to more money than they deserve.
julianlev Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 yes I cant wait to see some club cricketers cow lash there way to more money than they deserve. forgive me, but I'd rather watch cow lashing (and where the hell does that come from?) then spend five days watching a match that will inevitably end in a draw
Cricket Tragic Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Does anyone know when the build up to the champions leagues will start? After suffering through some of the most coma-inducing test cricket I've ever seen, I'm looking forward to some more 20/20 action Are SA secretly playing a match somewhere or have you been watching old highlights of Crawllis and Prince batting?
julianlev Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Are SA secretly playing a match somewhere or have you been watching old highlights of Crawllis and Prince batting? you'r not honestly telling me you enjoyed India's little caribbean coma fest the England game has been better but it's still going to end in a draw sorry but I just don't have five spare days to watch cricket that will just leave me dissapointed and what's with the snipe at SA? Honestly the last time I actually enjoyed a test match was when India played SA
yoda Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Don't worry you will know about it cause our :csk: will be there.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 yes I cant wait to see some club cricketers cow lash there way to more money than they deserve. It must hurt that the cow lashers are actually world champs and the team consisting of so called no-cow lashers has yet to do so :haha:
julianlev Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Don't worry you will know about it cause our :csk: will be there. as will my local team I wonder if the foreign players in the IPL squads will play for their home teams or their IPL ones I seem to recall the Aussies making a big noise over that at the last CL
Serani Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 It must hurt that the cow lashers are actually world champs and the team consisting of so called no-cow lashers has yet to do so :haha: What are you talking about? Seriously? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
julianlev Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Ok Cow-lashing aside (can we stop saying that?) can someone please answer my question The build-up to the IPL was huge, and this time the CL is being held in India if I'm right so when is the discussion going to begin? Are Chennai going to reign supreme again, and who are the other teams?
