vvvslaxman Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 This reminds me of WC 2007' date='when we were hoping for Bermuda to beat Bangladesh so that we could go through:(([/quote'] Dhoni's luck is not really good these days. India was hoping for SL beating BD in asia cup.. that is a realistic prediction any day. Even that did not happen.. Australia beating SL was also realistic prediction. That didn't happen either in CB. If anything PKXI will end up beating DD .
bulbul Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 This reminds me of WC 2007' date='when we were hoping for Bermuda to beat Bangladesh so that we could go through:(([/quote'] if DC beat RR why cant DC beat RCB :idunno:
Ram Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Rajasthan Antiques lost? :yay: We are still in it Baby... Here's hoping Grandpa Gilchrist forgets his arthritis medicine tonight and Martian Gayle is reclaimed by his homies from outer-space. :rock:
Ram Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 :hatsoff: The pleasure is all ours :woot::woot: Just FYI, we have won last 3 encounters against you. Times, they are a changing. :rock: Losing to the clowns both times in this edition... I am ready to do this - But, there's still a tiny sliver of hope out there.
bulbul Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 the cricket venue here has been surrounded by clouds, making authorities wary about the match prospects on Saturday. Second Strike for CSK :yay:

Old guy Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 It would have been so much easier had DD beaten RCB. :girl_sigh: :((
Magneto Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 It would have been so much easier had DD beaten RCB. :girl_sigh: Not really. Even then, RCB could have given DC a thrashing, reached 17, and be ahead of you in terms of NRR (bcos of the thrashing).
Needforspeed Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 It would have been so much easier had DD beaten RCB. :girl_sigh: Would have been possible had Delhi not rested their best batsman (Sehwag), best fast bowler (Morkel) and best spinner (Nadeem) in the match.

Even then' date=' RCB could have given DC a thrashing, reached 17, and be ahead of you in terms of NRR (bcos of the thrashing).[/quote'] If RCB had lost to Delhi, RCB's NRR would have been worse than it is now and they would have to beat DC by a very large margin. Chennai's chances of making it to play-offs would have been better than RCB. Having said that, the way we played this year, we really dont deserve to reach the play-offs.
saneindian Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 The Dhoni era is over, CSK needs a new leader with fresh approach. Even if CSK go onto IPl title from here on, won't change the fact that Dhoni has regressed as a leader. All through this average campaign, they did not try to change their strategy even once! Same tried and tested formula which doesn't work anymore.

Chennai's chances of making it to play-offs would have been better than RCB. Having said that, the way we played this year, we really dont deserve to reach the play-offs. With the kind of runs RCB had scored, DD could have maximum beaten them in the last over. That wouldn't have impacted their NRR too much, and still a 25-30 run victory over DC would see them through.

Same tried and tested formula which doesn't work anymore. Dhoni's luck has also run out. This is the 3rd straight tournament where he's waiting for other teams to bail him out. Australia and SL didn't; and I doubt DC would either.
