Nah, he predicted a CSK-RCB final. Not happening.

 

[Zinzan]

How the Royals managed to get Kohli, Gayle, AB & Starc in the same team in beyond me.

 

[harsh.ag]

The Rahane-Smith show is on.

By outbidding the other teams in the auction.

.. who were focussed on getting Yuvraj Singh for reasons unknown.

Bangalore had Yuvraj the previous season for a fortune, he was ****e.

Chennai are going to get smashed hard by Bangalore.

 

[Pratters]

I am backing Bangalore to win too. However, I do not have much confidence in Bangalore's bowling.

 

[TheJediBrah]

What's happened to James Faulkner this tournament? Either he just doesn't care about IPL this year or his form has nose-dived.

It is Dhoni's hometown and a spinners' paradise. So, advantage to CSK on that, though Mccullum loss is a huge hit. Backing Raina and Dhoni to win it for CSK.

Reckon you could say that about half the Aussie players, they don't really seem to be in it post-WC.

 

[Pratters]

Which commentators are covering the IPL for SKY from India? There's Mark Butcher.. who else..

 

[Aditi_Nair]

Now MI has reached in the Finals of IPL with wonderful performance after their first five defeats and play with the winner of CSK vs RCB.

Gotta be something shady imo. DK went for some ridiculous amount too.

Why would you be, the big mental and physical push was for the World Cup and there's another one coming as they try and win their first away Ashes for 14 years.

Nah, I don't think so. I can see 2-3 teams genuinely thinking Yuvraj is gonna rock the IPL some how.

 

[OverratedSanity]

But DK?

 

[Pratters]

Had a really impressive end to the Ranji season. Probably contributed.

 

[Furball]

You need to take market forces into consideration; each team needs to field 7 Indians in their line up so the top Indian talent is going to be very expensive.

Wicketkeepers in particular as they're a particularly scarce resource.
