Compare pappu to SRT? http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/news/208079-kris-srikkanth-compares-sunrisers-success-with-indias-1983-world-cup-win He indirectly suggests SRH will win the IPL :hysterical:
saneindian Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 "My memories went down to the 1983 World Cup. Nobody gave us a chance in the World Cup that year, but we qualified and won at the end of the day. The feeling today is quite similar as no one gave the Sunrisers a chance in the tournament, and today we have qualified for the playoffs," Srikkanth said. Don't find anything wrong there. All he's saying is India were underdogs in '83 and likewise SRH were the underdogs in IPL.
maniac Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 :agree: but SRH bowling is greater than any bowling attack that competed in a wc :dontknow:
carnish Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Sensible Blabbering by our former Head selector :agree: BUT CSK WILL WIN THIS IPL. :bigboss:
vvvslaxman Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Time to test your closet fanness Vote for G_B and win 50 millions Vote for what.. i am seeing this crap in every thread :hmmm:
Executioner Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Let them WIN FIRST, and then talk. The 83 WC was a different thing. India were real underdogs, playing away from home which they were poor at. And there is SRH, having played half their matches in home conditions, heck, even away conditions are not too different.
ganeshran Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Guys, please restrict to canvassing in the two threads, or open another thread for G_B

How does that matter.....Steyn is from Capetown not Kachiguda ,Sammy is from St.Lucia not Lalapet, Perera is from Colombo not Khairatabad,How is that home conditions for them?
bulbul Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 How does that matter.....Steyn is from Capetown not Kachiguda ' date='Sammy is from St.Lucia not Lalapet, Perera is from Colombo not Khairatabad,How is that home conditions for them?[/quote'] what? When players played for a franchise its their home turf , they practice day in and day out

TheWall Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 cheeka is out of his mind........... SRH got into payoffs bcoz RCB thinktank goofed up...
Crookbond Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Don't find anything wrong there. All he's saying is India were underdogs in '83 and likewise SRH were the underdogs in IPL. Same here - I was surprised this wasn't taken out of context as yet.

To start with, Srikkanth's statement is out of context. Next, it doesn't matter "how" SRH made the playoffs; they ultimately made it. Next, home conditions do matter. Home conditions in IPL means playing to the strengths of the players in your team. And btw, it's not just SRH who are taking advantage of "home conditions" but every other team including CSK, MI and RR. There is no reason to cry foul over it neither is there reason to deny that there are subtle changes in conditions to suit the home team.
