Come on Otago!!! :hpraise :hpraise :hpraise

Do New Zealand proud. And bring us back some money, as that is what the Champions League T20 is all about.

We got five BC's, plus one ENG international, one past BC and one or more future BC's. Hopefully we will be able win at least one game out of our two.

Hopefully Taylor goes on easy on us for the RBC, can't really go past them winning the group. It is T20 though, so anything can happen.

Bangaloooooooooooooooooooore!

Got to see my Kannada's do me proud. With Kumble leading the team, and a rock solid batting order, B'lore is a strong unit. I'm excited!

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Me too supporting Bangalore, common Dravid...

 

[vickyrox]

Me also supporting Banglore
They have some huge impact players
Taylor
Pandey
Van Der Merwe!

 

[naresh091]

I support this team just for Dravid and Kumble.Looking forward to see how Pandey and Kohli play.Carn Banglore!

 

[Amiya]

Bangalore should be toughest team to beat in this group. Let's hope Dravid fires with bat and Kumble's magic with ball.

 

[Sartaj]

Otago Volts look stronger than what i expected
Brendon McCullum is very dangerous at domestic level ()
So,they might fancy their chances.

Very small grounds

 

[Sartaj]

That's a fair point you made,but he's pretty powerful for a little guy.

 

[TheGreemSim]

With all the international players Bangalore's a shoe in for no.1. I just hope that Volts are stronger than the cobras.

Bangalore has simply no chance

 

[Sartaj]

The South Africans are running the show for Bangalore.
I like their chances.

 

[Cricketman]

Bangalore has simply no chance

Are you kidding me? :doh


I'll be watching out for Pandey. He sizzled in the end of the last IPL, hope he can do it again.

Otago could well be a dark horse for this. Like normal nobody seems to give a New Zealand team a chance probably more so from a lack of information about the team but there are six Blackcaps in there plus an English international and on top of that a couple more players which will certainly play for New Zealand in the future. They are a strong team.
