Ganguly is playing much better than the specialist Hussey!

[Blwe_torch]

Ganguly gets the benefit of doubt..................in a dicey call for catch.
Well......it compensates for the earlier bad decision.

[Blwe_torch]

Ganguly out for 51....................best of the maharathis so far!

Maharathi lead teams are at the bottom of the point table(after the end of this match)

[inoc]

is there a team without aussies? now.

[poondu]

Chennai, I think. I am going to support them now that Pussey and Christian are gone...

[ruchir]

All 3 maharathi captains have been shown their places in 20/20. They just don't have the foresight and quick thinking, IMO.

any other team other than than chennai?

my favourite (MSD) is in that team but i like to support the underdogs. another team without aussies will do me good

The tourney is not yet half way across. i am not concerned with it - you may be. 

[Blwe_torch]

Ganguly batted well today.............but the foreign imports are letting KKR down big-time.

Look at Butt..........worth only one boundary.
Hussey..................much more is expected from him.
Hodge...........well..........his dismissal wasn't his fault
Gayle.............no show
Ponting............very poor batting
Akhtar................no show as yet
McCullum...............only one good game to show out of 4.
Gul.......has done fairly well in  his first match.

[Blwe_torch]

Kolkata's bowling was fine I thought, with the exception of Agarkar............but yet the RR batsmen .....particularly Asnodkar, Pathan....kaif and Jadeja played extremely well

[ruchir]

INOC -- I know you are not worried, but you should begin now. This is a preview of what is to come later. 

BLWE -- What happened to SG's ability to get the best out of his new, unknown team mates? It seems like Warne, MSD, VS, even YS are showing more of this ability but not SG or his fellow maharathis. That is what is strange. Where has the ability to inspire gone?

Something is missing for sure...............this team is almost a new team after Ponting and McCullum left.
I have a feeling that KKR depended too much on the trio of Ponting/ McCullum/ Gayle.................and it is almost a no-show by this ensemble...........only one match by McCullum................and that showed KKR's true potential.
I must add...SG didn't play well in atleast 3 of the 5 matches.
Today he batted reasonably well.......highest S/R while scoring the highest runs of the innings as well.
Buchanan and SG has to do some serious thinking.

[Blwe_torch]

The local Kolkata lads are playing OK for a very short duration...unlike the innings by Asnodkar or Yusuf Pathan........................Shukla is an exception though.

[inoc]

at the outset i am not supporting KKR. nor am i supporting any another team who have aussies in their team.

However it is not difficult to envisage them winning another 4/5 out of their 9 remaining matches.

is there a team without aussies?

[Blwe_torch]

I am not thinking abt Aussies now.......I have set myself to support KKR and Punjab.....Aussies...wussies......whatever comes my way! ( I'll take them all!)

[LosingNow]

KKR heading in the wrong direction... also RR are REAL!!

Meanwhile Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul, who recently joined Kolkata, felt Ganguly's captaincy in Twenty20 cricket had a way to go. "This format is new for Ganguly. He is finding it difficult," Gul told PTI. "He has to learn a few more tricks. We also have to find the right combination and rhythm

your lions have lost a few of their fangs, i note. can they still survive? 

[gouravk]

of course. we have dhoni. whats the worry ?

[pipsqueak]

of course. we have dhoni. whats the worry ?

we have a guy from pune(or b'lore?) rooting for my hometown's team led by a guy from ranchi. me, a chennai product wants them to lose.

wonder what all this means...

btw, you were using "we" and "us" wrt BRC a few weeks ago? 

go daredevils!(i don't even like delhi)

[gouravk]

originally from pune (pune does not have a team), stayed in bangalore last year, and now in chennai - so there is nothing weird about me rooting for chennai. your behavior is weird tho. a chennaite hating chennai team for no reason and supporting a (north indian, no harm, take in right spirit) city ? URGh !

i am not parochial!  (that's one charge no one can lay on me when i defend SG since i have not even visited WB)

i don't hate CSK, just find the name, colour, the adverts all very irritating - since they are winning everything, i want them to lose. 

i have no loyalties to any team in this IPL and will bash/praise any one.

[gouravk]

haha .. i know ... im just teasing you

deshdrohi

Did we give up Rajasthan to Pakistan? Or are we talking about the Bangladesh 'Desh'?

maybe he is just talking about supporting aussies.

last i heard the aussies didnt belong to 'apna desh' 

I thought he was the captain of Rajasthan. Or are we racist now?
