Cue Bangladesh giving up

They gave up long ago. Not going after Clarke and Smith was criminal.

Just glimpsed the latest IPL match on cricinfo.... how the hell is Rahul Dravid opening for Rajasthan instead of Shane Watson? That's totally absurd. Dravid isn't nicknamed "The Wall" for nothing.

Tendulkar at it again...

Oh Kent are so frustrating. 25/5 at lunch in the second innings having let Northants get from 124/5 to 480ao

Could be a tough season

Just got back from China, catching up with the cricket, quite a few high scoring contests in the Ipl so far. Mumbai looking good..

Also, **** seems to have gone down in the online poker world

The IPL is hilarious:

Maxx Mobile time out
DLF Maximum
Carbon Kamal catch
City moment of success

Soon they will be saying stuff like "Tendulkar clips it off his legs and takes a Pepsi single"

Yeah, Mumbai have a pretty sick squad. They are clear favourites on betfair, about 3.65, with KKR as 2F at 5.5.

Also, yeah poker went a bit crappy

Yeah, that is what really annoys me about the IPL. It's so nakedly and unashamedly commercial. I really hope that they just keep it over there and that it doesn't infect the rest of world cricket.



Anyway, came here to comment on the Sri Lankan squad to tour England this summer. Tillekeratne Dilshan is going to be captain, not Sangakkara. Thought they might have kept him on as Test captain, even if he was handing over the ODI reins to someone else.

Also, no Malinga for the Tests, which makes their attack a lot weaker than I thought it would be, and probably makes England a lot stronger favourites than I thought we might otherwise be.

Yea its unabashed commercialism and people here hate it as well..

The bcci should set some strict standards for its commercial broadcasters but they're too busy raking in money and with thier internal politics to worry about the audience..

Lol @ Sreesanth not even getting picked in the Kochi 11.

I assume it's because he gave Jayawardene a ton of lip in the WC final, if so .

Sreesanth gets slapped around the park at >6 rpo in ODIs, and his career economy rate in T20 is heading up towards 9 rpo.

I'd say that a safer bet is to simply assume they aren't picking him because he's really **** at bowling.

Holy shut Punjab 52 off 2.5 overs lol..

Scoring seems way up in this IPL. Probably the result of expansion diluting the bowling talent. Should allow 5 international players per team

Yea 5 seems like the ideal compromise..

I have no idea hiw Wi is gonna field a team against pak when all thier players are choosing the ipl and sarwan are chanderpaul arent playing...

WI have a pretty strong domestic T20 setup. I expect to see some one hit wonders today

The gayle saga is pretty funny. He was officially injured and in a recovery program in jamaica on the wicb's buck. The moment he got a contract with rcb he's fit and seeking an noc from the board to play..

Holy f***. Just turned on today's IPL match, Kings XI Punjab really going to town here on Rajasthan bowling

Warne 4-0-51-1

Is 200 enough with Watson to bat..

Lol, this is a terrible finish by Kings...... LMAO at leaving a ball in the last over

And fail again by Rajasthan, opening with "deadbat" Dravid instead of letting Shane Watson face the first ball. Especially as they need nearly 200 to win this. They are so gonna finish bottom this year, unless they stop with this noob tactic.

Ya inexcusible. Watson needs max deliveries

Dravid is like Kallis you open with him when you need 150. With 190+ on board watson opens and Taylor bats at 3..

Finally Sehwag picks Varun aaron, god knows why it took so long but really interested in seeing him bowl.

They need to put up atleast 170 though but DDs middleorder looks terrible..

I guess it doesnt matter if you have my high school team's middle order if Sehwag and Warner both fire lol.

Now watch Valtathy and Gilly chase this 230+ down!
