IPL!!!!!CSK looking strong again!!!!!

EDIT:FIRST!!!

[Shri]

Why is SS posting in the IPL thread?

[Jayzamann]

Just glad they changed the name from Indi Commandos.

It's pretty obvious that the whole thing was a ploy to get media attention. A poor one, and one that is so transparent that it means I now dislike the team considerably.

Anyone except Kochi to win.

[Jono]

Lol @ the CricketWeb Forumer World Cup getting a sub-forum and not the IPL

[jashan83]

Kings XI Punjab will win all the way

Next year we will see Australia's Big Bash based on the lines of IPL, and 2 of the major franchisee's are Indian Business owned.

Besides this Bangladesh will have their NCL 20-20 this year. It happened last year too with some Pakistani and Lankan players taking part.
Pakistan along with UAE is almost in talks for one in 2012 and then we have USA along with NZC about to start another one in 2012. The same is the case with SL
Seems like IPL style fever is spreading all around. I will not be surprised if England and SA also come out with one soon

Its not SS, it just looks like him.

EDIT: Anyone got the full squad lists?

Wikipedia has them all on each franchises' page. The Bangalore squad for example is here.

[Cruxdude]

One single thread for the IPL?

[xanderbiscuits]

I vote for a sub forum

I'm sure that the good ppl of cricketweb will make one if there's enough interest

Damn decent bowling attack too with Zaheer, Nannes and Vettori. (Plus Dilshan and Mithun, I guess). Had a quick look around and though I admit I don't know much about the Indian domestic players, this looks a very strong side.

[Himannv]

MI have Pollard and Symonds in the same team backed by Tendulkar, Harbhajan and Malinga. Not too bad for a base. Thing is the rest of their team are relative unknowns.
