This should be another exciting contest.

I'm specially looking forward to Brett Lee bowling to Hayden and Murali bowling to Sangakkara. I think those two matchups will be quite interesting.

Battle between the two young indians - yuvraj and Dhoni

Some one open the thread of the other game delhi vs rajasthan

[Protic]

Ah.. chennai's bowling will probably not help em!

lol battle of the kings.....

its a bit weird, how a South Indian like Sreesanth is playing for Mohali, and Joginder Sharma a Punjabi is playing for Chennai....

but shud be good, as i am neutral, i hope for a much closer game than yesterday :D

[al-Sagar]

Good game on 57-2

[BangladeshFan]

somehow this contest lacks interest from common cricket watchers.

what has hayden, hussey, lee got to do with punjab or chennai?? the whole idea is ridiculous. i think it will be a flop show. i can see some of the investors (shahrukh, preity jinta etc. ridiculous!) becoming "deulia".

idea of 20-20 is novel and but its internations that draw the crowd, teams like punjab kings, or kolkata knights have absolutely no appeal!

there was rumours that preity zinta was dating bret lee back in 2004/2005
