Diabloo, do you google a 'SRK' or 'KKR' to search & post some silly news about SRK/KKR?

Do/post something useful pal.

Well i am loving it. Thats all i can say. DD is going to have a tough time trying to get back for a semis spot and looks like MI is going fine and almost reached there. The best part was KKR is not doing well. Awesome.

My condolences with RC. They should be relegated to some other league in the next season.

I just posted the news on the front page of a national newspaper. I can't help if you can't stand any news about SRK. For me its just news.

Note: I suggest you pick up the national newspaper and see the front page.

That's exactly the point - we all read the national newspaper

Well, KKR need to bounce back & win all the remaining matches!

Dada needs to bat sensibly, last 3 matches he got bold in the very similar fashion, y'day it was not required to go after Ntini since he was already hit for 2 fours in the same over by S Butt.

I thought it was totally irresponsible of Ganguly to play the way he did yesterday. Someone needs to give him a whack on his "butt"

.

Going to be difficult for the KKR now though not impossible. There is far too much reliance on a few batsmen in that team. At least they've got rid of Akash Chopra now.

MI lost first 4 games but won next 6 games. I am sure the secret behind the success is their brand ambassador - watch his video here:

Maybe RCB must ditch a bad actress like Katrina and get themselves a powerful brand ambassador - how about our 'Power Star' or 'Golden Star'?

DC have 'Hansika Motwani' as brand ambassador, hence their performance is slightly better than RCB (their losing margins are less than RCB).

Relegate them to ICL

Hurrycane12 · 19th May 2008, 13:23

RR and CSK are sure semi finalist and so will Yuvi team make it there. The last spot I guess is getting filled in soon and i see the Mumbai Indians doing the damage to DD and KNR.

diabloo · 19th May 2008, 13:58

Whats makes you say so? IMO, they will be thrashed in ICL too.

BTW, in ICL 20-20, Chennai beat Chandigarh to win the tournament: Live Scores - Indian Cricket League

Will its happen in IPL too?

Arey yaar the team RC has i am sure they will be the tailenders in ICL too. After that where? Local leagues?

I guess RC can do better with Hattrick Hero. He delivers hits continuously and they loose continuously. Katrina was really frustrated in the only match she attended and no wonder we dont see her anymore in their matches

Cool pics you get man; tell me do you work for a newsprint company

Normally_Cricket, can we please have another IPL Masala Thread! Otherwise, this is all we will be reading about on this thread

EDIT: Just saw tsk's post, thanks Tanveer, you can delete this post

Sehwag wins toss and immediately opts to chase !!!

Excellent move considering they to up their Net Run Rate as well.

I am eager, teams' brand ambassadors are eager and hope you all are eager for these two teams to meet !!!!

Note: Yet another opening pair for RCB, this time its Kallis & Chipli

. I guess Dravid wants build an army of openers for next year's IPL
