IPL Match Thread: Deccan Chargers VS Kolkata Knight Riders

[Neel Here]

He was their top batsman last year.

that was danguly.

[Antora]

KKR FTW!!!
is MAsh really playing? OMG!!! How exciting xD
I would think that they would pick Mash since they bought him with that much money. I don't think bench warmers are worth 600k

[Antora]

I just realised I won't be able to watch this match , starts at 12:30 am and I have school tomorrow GAAAAAAHHHHH!!! and knowing my luck, mash will deffo play in this match :@

[Baundule]

I think, Mash will play ahead of Mendis. His batting advocates in his favor. KKR has spin option in Gayle and Murali kartik.

[revolver]

mash will rip every one out

[Razi]

If the Shamokal report is true than Mash is surely playing, they won't change the XI after deciding unless there is an injury concern.

[Nadim]

if mash don't play 2day, i won't watch IPL for next 5 days(until saturday)

have some freakin self respect guyz....or else in every areas of life thou shalt be doomed.

Talking abt self-respect, sir; me and some of us who were all jumping over here on Mash's selection do have that as much as you do. But the thing is as Bangladeshis, we're just not used to justice. In every 3 out of 4 aspects of our life, we get deprived from what's due and that also applies to cricketing area. Just tell me, if the bowler ranked 7 in the ODI list was someone from England, Australia or even Pak or Ind; who would have even dared to talk about Langeveldt (37th) or Ishant and Dinda (both of whom are not even in the rankings of ODI) instead of him? It's just coz he's a Bangladeshi(a lower ranked team), why our players don't get their due and that's also the reason why even the day after Mash got picked up by KKR, months before the first IPL match of KKR we were not sure if Mashrafe was really gonna play. So when justice comes finally, it's too hard to control the joy, but surely I gotta learn it from you ; chuto bhai hishebe maaf koira den ......lol, ok; anyway; I would say I must had got a bit overbroad in the earlier post; but I hope you got my point.

I knoww, and the KKR match is also in Cape Town

[yaseer]

The 1st match has started.......hope rains stay out so that KKR match can go on......

[bdchamp20]

Looking at the way pacers are being hammered so far I am worried about Mash. Isn't it ironic so far the pitches in SA have supported spinners though everyone predicted it would be a pacer's tournament. While last season pacers were dominant in Indian pitches which usually take spin. Shakib would've been a great asset for any of the teams.

[bdchamp20]

I hope Mash has been practising his slower one. That has been the most succesful delivery so far.

[yaseer]

Mash gonna succeed with the new ball......I have the confidence on that......he should bowl 4 overs in one spell with the new ball.......
Is he going to play?? still no certainty......spinners are doing well all the way...today Vettori......Mendis is pushing it hard.......

[bdchamp20]

Why isn't Brad Hodge in the Ozzie team? He has good stats. He will be available for the whole tournament and will occupy one foreign spot for all the matches.

But now its a cetainty. If he wasn't captain KKR could drop him if he witnessed a drop in form.

[Nadim]

Whatever happened no way on earth McCullum will be never drop from the team, even he was not captain of the team. not only he is probably the best batsman in the team, he is a weaketkeeper also. by the way the other KKR wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha is injured.

[BangladeshFan]

how come kkr has so many players, isnt there a regulation on the size of the squad?

Well maximum 10 foreigner in the team, but there is no limit on number of local players in the squad. i think BCCB dont mind many local player as they can get knowledge and experience from world class players and coach.
