You and I stay in Bangalore and I feel we need to cheer RC as it is called "Bangalore Royal Challengers". But it is left to individual opinions.

I would have, but I am a tee totaler - I can't say cheers: to RC

Maybe because they have Munaf Patel, one who cannot maintain his fitness for more than one match every year.

Honestly, I wish this IPL thing becomes a failure. I mean this is immoral on the part of BCCI to have banned the ICL and having this extravaganza of their own. Ironically, ICL was banned as it would have hurt the international events, but we have already seen/heard how IPL is hurting the Indian cricket in the aftermath of Ahmedabad debacle. Moreover there are reports that Newzealand players would miss their initial part of the England tour owing to IPL!

As for the voting is concerned, being a Kannadiga, I had to vote for RCs I suppose

Guess what, he's been included for the 3rd Test. I wonder if he'll be fit for IPL if he plays the Test

First he should be fit to bat in the test after we finish bowling

Rocky_Balboa · 9th April 2008, 13:11

T20 is essentially a batsmans paradise and with Afridi, Gibbs, Gilly and Bandhar in the team, I feel Deccan Chargers will win the tournament.

whatcanthisbe · 9th April 2008, 14:17

Bangalore Royal Challengers

2theMax · 9th April 2008, 18:37

Im for the ICL guys who's cricket is much more passionate..its much more intersting (IMHO) to watch players like rayudu and B satish than watching regulars

diabloo · 10th April 2008, 00:08

And who can forget the exploits of Lance Klusner !!

or the Lahore Badshahs under Inzy. We should give equal if not more credit to ICL (& to Kapil Dev) than the BCCI sponsored IPL.

safari_lover · 10th April 2008, 16:51

I feel the same about ICL. In fact by seeing at the Indian team in the ICL world series, I feel they've kindaa fulfilled their objective of providing a platform for the discarded to perform against the International players.

But having said that, I feel these leagues gonna affect cricket in a big way. For a start have a look at this.

And we thought, Aussies play for the passion of baggy green cap!
