Pune Warriors terminated from IPL

[Jersey #10]

Did anyone actually think that they would be able to compete for the semis next year ? Even if they added a few big names in the auction they couldn't have done so unless the quota for foreign players increased. To kick out 3 teams' date=' 4 if you count RR, is a massive PR hit.[/quote'] Not gonna happen dude, BCCI is too big to just lose like that. If it comes to that, they'd have 6 teams playing 90+ games = same revenue. And with the increasing liking for CLT20, BCCI is both feet in the money.

Forget Dada' date=' who the bloody hell will pick Dinda??[/quote'] New franchise called Grasshoppers United.

Forget Dada' date=' who the bloody hell will pick Dinda??[/quote'] Unfortunately, the IPL team composition will require Indian bowlers in any team. With that, Dinda will be the hot pick as there simply aren't that many Indian bowlers to go around every team. It's very unfortunate but it's the fact. If Saurabh Tiwari goes for millions, Dinda deserves his fair chance too.

[Tom Riddle]

should include a team from Gujarat .

[vvvslaxman]

All other teams will be queing up to pick Dinda now.

Forget Dada' date=' who the bloody hell will pick Dinda??[/quote'] Dinda is still India's best death bowler, at least in IPL.

Finch will be one of the most wanted player from Pune in auction

Death bowling is always like that these days. Double edged sword.

Subrata Roy has been ***ed over in cricket -- dispute with MCA over stadium name and apparent lack of access to board despite paying money --- dispute with srinivasan In a way its good he has left cricket. Dodgy source of income. I hope there is a pan maharashtra based franchise, who plays games at Pune and Nagpur and Dy patil . Hate to see these stadiums goto waste

Don't know about Pan Maharashtra but a Paan Maharashtra franchise is possible led by the inimitable Sharad Pawar.

they can be called Gutkha Chaap Maratha Warriors

[Trundler27]

Screw all the marathi and gujju teams as those guyz can get into any team in the ipl, we need a team called Bihari Babus..... i remember so many hype threads for upcoming bowlers from Bihar not being able to get national recognition bcoz the bcci apparently doesn't recognize Bihari cricket lol

[Lord]

cabby :hehe:

It is a shame that UP and Bihar dont have another team. If anything the hindi belt needs atleast one team. In that sense if Pune is replaced by a team in that region then it would be fair.

[maniac]

:woot: So does that mean Telangana split will result in 2 teams...1 for Andhra and 1 for Telangana....we already have a marquee free agent in T.Suman

[Mariyam]

For a change some other team will get the wooden spoon. That's another way of looking at it.

Spot on. Apart from PWI, CSK will also be very upset with this termination. They don't have competition for the wooden spoon anymore.

Didn’t know the wooden spoon is normally reserved for the team that made the finals 5 out of a possibly 6 times. :dontknow:

[G_B_]

For CSK we can have a special choker spoon Reached the later stages 6 times and won only 2 times.... terrible record in terms of %'s Look at Mumbai, reached the Champions League finals twice and won twice. Now thats called killer instinct.
