JourneyMan Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah right! I agree with what Mark Butcher said last night on ITV. Of course they deserve to be there. They played their matches and got their points. RR, Punjab and RCB had their chances and failed to take them. RR and RCB failed to beat the bottom team of the league to qualify. They still deserve to be there!? Hell no. RCB can sit down and think about their game against CSK where they posted a massive total and still got hammered in the death overs by Albie Morkel.
Sidhoni Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 ghanta! RCB lost to last placed DC and hence they do not deserve it. We deserve it, we have more points and a better NRR than other sides. :dontknow:

They still deserve to be there!? Hell no. RCB can sit down and think about their game against CSK where they posted a massive total and still got hammered in the death overs by Albie Morkel. By the same logic CSK can sit down and think about the game against MI, where the last 3 balls were hit for 6,4,4 off Hilfenhaus bowling by Smith. So going by your logic MI never deserved to win that game. PWI can sit down and think about the game against RCB where RCB won by scoring 24 off the last over including a last ball 6. By your logic RCB never deserved to win that game. PWI can also sit down and think about the game against MI, where chasing 120 to win they lost by 1 run. MI probably never deserved to win that one either. DC can also sit down and think about the last ball six by Rohit Sharma against them. MI never deserved to win that game either. So if CSK did not deserve to win that game, RCB did not deserve to win their game against PWI and MI did not deserve to win 3 of their matches, by the logic of OP only DD and KKR deserved to reach the play-offs. Iam sure others here can recall a few more last ball finishes.
vamos_rafa Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I don't really think that this deserving and all really matters. The point system is the same for all. Also, CSK had 2 washouts. Don't know what would have happened in those games had they been played. They could have ben table toppers or even could have crashed out.

Needforspeed Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Just 1 against RCB. Yes, the other washout was KKR vs DC
JourneyMan Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 By the same logic CSK can sit down and think about the game against MI, where the last 3 balls were hit for 6,4,4 off Hilfenhaus bowling by Smith. So going by your logic MI never deserved to win that game. Actually, the point is that losing that match to CSK ended up costing them in the long run. In any case, it doesn't matter. They had their chance, they failed to take it.
Magneto Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 RCB is clearly at fault for not being able to gain a decent NRR advantage even after scoring 215 against DD. That too a DD team without Sehwag.
Executioner Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 RCB is clearly at fault for not being able to gain a decent NRR advantage even after scoring 215 against DD. That too a DD team without Sehwag. No morkel...not too sure abt Sehwag because DD has a good batting lineup
velu Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Probably :kxip: deserved more than :rcb: or :rr: or :csk: bcoz they defeated many strong teams but again they lost too many games to mediocre teams
vvvslaxman Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Probably :kxip: deserved more than :rcb: or :rr: or :csk: bcoz they defeated many strong teams but again they lost too many games to mediocre teams They kind of choked in crucial stages.. But yes agreed they played better cricket. This is by far the worst IPL campaign by CSK ever.

vvvslaxman Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 which mediocre teams?:kxip: beat DC twice n PWI once same as CSK' date='MI n DD[/quote'] But Rain gave a point each to CSK and RCB. Anyway , if it had not rained the team that won the match would have gone through now. PKXI lost to DD TWICE PKXI lost to Royals TWICE PKXI lost to RCB ONCE PKXI lost to MI ONCE PKXI lost to PWXI ONCE PKXI lost to KKR ONCE CSK lost to PKXI TWICE CSK lost to MI TWICE CSK lost to KKR ONCE CSK lost to DD ONCE CSK lost to PWXI ONCE CSK did not lose a single game to southie teams and Royals. 3 win and 1 rained out. In the end one southie team beat another southie team to help CSK. CSK team's entry into playoffs was mainly due to southie teams :cantstop:

Sehwag1830 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 ^^^ Well they tried by resting Sehwag and Taylor. But your team didn't grab the chance. All you had to do was dismiss Warner early.
Lord Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 ^^^ Well they tried by resting Sehwag and Taylor. But your team didn't grab the chance. All you had to do was dismiss Warner early. why couldnt they rest Morkel n Warner?:hitler:Taylor was out of form anyway(runs against Vinay Kumar doesnt count)
Sehwag1830 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 why couldnt they rest Morkel n Warner?:hitler:Taylor was out of form anyway(runs against Vinay Kumar doesnt count) Morkel wanted purple cap. On the contrary most of the runs Taylor scored was on Murali. And it was his innings that didn't allow RCB to have decent NRR
