Agree, want Chennai superkings to kick the rear ends led by the 'obnoxious weed' err the 'Turbunator".

Who ever bowls better is bound to win. They both weaker bowling with Chennai little more weaker than MI at least on paper. Would want to see MI to win but MSD might turn out to be the difference here.

Go Mumbai...

gouravk · « **Reply #5 on:** April 23, 2008, 04:01:03 AM »

looking at their injury list the only place where mumbai can beat chennai is in the hospital.

OldPal · « **Reply #6 on:** April 23, 2008, 02:20:45 PM »

Chennai to Bat
Chennai Super Kings team
ML Hayden, PA Patel, MEK Hussey, S Badrinath, SK Raina, MS Dhoni, JDP Oram, Joginder Sharma, P Amarnath, M Gony, M Muralitharan

Mumbai Indians team
L Ronchi, ST Jayasuriya, RV Uthappa, P Shah, AM Nayar, SM Pollock, MA Khote, Harbhajan Singh, A Nehra, DS Kulkarni, DJ Bravo

This would be Hayden Vs Jayasurya !!!
Chennai Looks stronger on paper to me .with excellent batting till Oram . Mumbai balances with Pollock,Bhajji and Bravo .

For the recors I am cheering for Chennai . SR in particular . I enjoyed his last innings. He should come before MSD .

OldPal · « **Reply #8 on:** April 23, 2008, 02:30:20 PM »

Chennai cheerleaders . Way to go Chennai !!!

From CI:
7.55: Right folks we're just about 5 minutes away from the start. The stadium appears packed. Remember this is the Super Kings' first home game. Btw, the cheerleaders are all local.

Mistime six :
Bravo to Raina, SIX, shorter ball, Raina pulls without turning his whole body. He mistimes but still manages to go over the midwicket boundary

ramshorns · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2008, 03:22:49 PM »

In all seriousness Raina and Rohit Sharma of all the players I have seen are the real deal as far as batting is concerned. They need to be preserved and nurtured. These two have genuine cricketing shots and are simply good.

MS Goni doing it for MS Dhoni!!

CSK could lose this one.. with dew and no bowling.

Vick · « **Reply #25 on:** April 23, 2008, 05:06:58 PM »

Gony is gonna make a better ODI bowler than some of the guys we have in the team currently.

I would think so. It can even happen in ODI soon. And he bowls in lower 130's. But with lot more control and lot more bounce as he is 6.4/6.5
