| Hey, that's a pretty cool site. I wasn't even aware of it.Thanks man. It's got a lot of info about the players , but I guess they could have put the photos of the players alongside those animations. Nevertheless, good one to check the stats of the team. |

| Am very much enthusiastic to watch the game. Because i want to see the behaviour of Ricky under Dada's control. It will be really cool. Anyways i believe that cricket will be played in the right spirit. The team composition is good and i find no answers for having Murali karthik in the team. SRK is concentrating more on this game and the strategy. |

As Descorpio mentioned that he want to see behavious of Ponting under the command of Dada ... so I also wanna to see their reactions and body language ... I love to see whether ponting give some advice to Dada or not ... I also wanna to see Ishant and Ponting as well ...
I am sure Australian will learn some host manners as well |

| Akhtar, Sharma. I like that combination. I don't think there'll be too many probalems regarding Ponting and Ganguly as John Buchanan is the coach, so if Ponting feels slighted he at least has somebody in a position of authority to talk to, to get it off his chest. |

| Well this is the favourite team as far as media is concerned. Shahrukh Khan got huge fan in India and abroad so I am sure Mr. Khan will capitalise that. As far as team combination is concerned this is very balanced team in respect to bastman and bowling is concerned. Ajit Agarkar will be dark horse. Mind it Ajit Agarkar have highest strike rate as bowler for India and he also hold the record of fastest fifties by any Indian. |

Yes! Dada has a lot to prove... to his local fans, to the ones who tried to ruin his life and career! He will show that he has what is needed in this shortest format of cricket. |

Well the Knight Riders have raised the bar and set a standard. Lets see if they can maintain their supremacy like the Lahore Badshah did in the ICL until, off course, the finals.
McCullum has proven my point which i made in another posting, that the performance from the likes of him, Afridi, Dilshan, Yuvraj & Dhoni would prove the bidders wrong. They have put most of their money on bigger names of ODI & Test cricket, but i am sure they would reverse their decisions next time around. |
