IPL 13th Match: Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders

[leftarmlegspin]

Why was Ganguly changed as captain? I don't think McCullum is great in the role.

The CSK website says there will be some changes to the lineup.Oram/Bailey or Ntini may come in and Joginder being left out.I would be the happiest man if that happens.But dropping Albie would be stupid.Hes a proven match winner.He should be given some time.

Oram needs to come in to replace Flintoff.

Ntini is a bad idea. He has gone for a lot in the odi's in SA this season and doesn't add anything with the bat. I would bring oram in for freddie.

Bring in George Bailey. Heard some good things, we could use a beefed up batting order.

Cricketman added 6 Minutes and 51 Seconds later...

Lots of rain and covers on the ground, unfortunately.

This sucks.

 

[naresh091]

The guy presenting the show in Setmax has said there is no rain for the past 20 minutes and the sky is clearing up.Hope we get a game.But Im sure we'll get only a shortened one.

 

[King Pietersen]

Covers going back on, but Robin Jackman believes there will be play. Bloody South African weather, has been lovely in England for the past week or 2.

 

[naresh091]

Chances of the game being played have become bleak now.Even if there is gonna be some play,it might start about 3 hours later from now.And it will only be a 5 over game.

I'd rather see George Bailey in the Twenty20 side over Suresh Raina. Bailey can actually hit sixes whilst Raina rarely ever hits the middle of the bat.

You are too much pessimistic.You dint see our batting last season(post-hayden's departure) did you?

Yes, Chennai lost acouple of matches after Hayden's departure and took time to adapt without him. They wouldn't of gotten as far as they did without the matches that Hayden & Hussey single-handedly won earlier in the tournament.

 

[naresh091]

Well Hayden is bought for playing his role.Isnt he?So isnt he too a part of the team?
How come Hayden alone plays for a separate team?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Chennai might feel, that they will lose 1 point, if the match gets rained off.

 

[nikhil_99]

Lets hope at least we get 10-12 over match...

...What?

Without Hayden, Chennai would've been completely and utterly embarrassed in the first three games that they've played thus far. Not that the other players in the team haven't been embarrassing though.

Blame Cape Town has been for the last 4 weeks here in Pretoria.
