  Good article on sterday's match - http://www.prempanicker.com/index.php?/site/comments/honey_i_shrunk_the_odi/
  
  

  Quote:

  A league of this nature will be nothing more than a money-spinning machine, unless it has the added plus of throwing up domestic talent for consideration; in that sense, this game had its fair share Raina, whose comeback hopes could have withered in the ennui-inducing realm of domestic cricket; Gony, whose bowling is increasingly impressive; and Nayar, who married fearless batsmanship with calm resolve, all got to strut their stuff under the eye of the national one day captain, and team coach.

  
  Apparently Gary Kirsten was available at the ground sterday

  Eventhough CSK won the match it was not convincing at all. We need atleast two fast bowling specialist. Oram-laam nambitrukka mudiyadhu

  what u guys think of Ashwin...the offiee...wonderful talent i guess and reg anirudha srikkanth, his first class record is pathetic and not sure how successful he will be.. vidyut is tailor made for twenty 20 and is a very handy spinner as well....i guess he will open with parthiv once haydos leaves ! patil vidyut fleming raina dhoni badri morkel ashwin goni murali nitini i guess this should be a decent team!

  looks like a good team though, I would prefer Balaji in the team - he should become fit by then, hopefully
  another offie when murali is there might not be needed

  oh yes! if balaji is fit he would be automatically in but ashwin is a very decent prospect with good batting potential as well!

  Indian Premier League
  
  Missing in action
  
  Sriram Veera
  
  April 24, 2008
  
  Brendon McCullum, Mike Hussey and Matthew Hayden, the stars of the IPL who have shone the brightest so far, will be missing in action soon. Players from Australia, West Indies and New Zealand won't be available to play in the IPL for the entire duration as Australia and West Indies are involved in a bilateral series while New Zealand tour England. The Australians are expected to play till the end of April before heading for a pre-series training camp in Brisbane while the New Zealand IPL players were allowed to miss the tour games in England but will nonetheless have to join
  
  
  Deccan Chargers
  For VVS Laxman's Chargers, the coming weeks will see the departure of a big-ticket player in Andrew Symonds, who was priced No. 2 in auction. Though he is yet to fire, it can be expected that he will show his class soon. While his departure, on May 1, means the Chargers will miss his allround skills, they do have Shahid Afridi and Scott Styris to fill that vacuum. Also, Herschelle Gibbs, in the bench currently, can, in theory, match up to Symonds' hitting prowess. So the next ten days could add another punch to Deccan's charge.
  
  Kolkata Knight Riders
  Sourav Ganguly's team will be the worst hit by the exodus. Ricky Ponting, McCullum and Chris Gayle, though he is yet to play due to injury, will be missing in action soon. Ponting will leave on May 1, McCullum on April 30 while the injured Gayle, even if he gets fit, will have to leave on May 15. These are big shoes to fill as Ponting is a proven commodity and McCullum became the first superstar of the IPL with a whirlwind record 158 on the opening night. They will look to the Pakistan opener Salman Butt and Zimbabwe's Tatendu Taibu to try plugging the big hole but it remains to be seen how effective they will be. Butt averages only 15.42 at a strike-rate of 81.20 in eight Twenty20 internationals and 16.62 at a strike-rate of 95 from 17 domestic Twenty20 games. Taibu averages 15.70 from 10 domestic Twenty20 matches but the runs have come at a fair clip of 122.65. Perhaps, Mohammad Hafeez will be pushed up the order. There is some good news for Kolkata, as the Pakistani seamer Umar Gul, who has joined the squad, will beef up the bowling.
  
  Bangalore Royal Challengers
  
  Shivnarine Chanderpaul is leaving on May 15 while Ashley Noffke and Ross Taylor leave on May 1 but the Royal Challengers won't be hit too hard. They have Misbah-ul-Haq, who has made Twenty20 his calling card, arriving on April 24 and Dale Steyn, who had a triumphant Test series against India, coming on April 27. Both are better players than Taylor and Noffke respectively but Chanderpaul will be missed as an opener. Wasim Jaffer looked out of place in the first game and Bangalore might decide to open with Praveen Kumar, who has opened in domestic cricket in the limited-overs format. The management is hopeful that the injured Bracken will get fit in time to replace Noffke. Even without him, they have a decent bowling line-up in Praveen , Zaheer Khan, Steyn and Anil Kumble, who is expected to get fit soon.
  
  Chennai Super Kings
  Hayden and Hussey leave on May 1 while Jacob Oram catches the flight on April 30 but they will be replaced by Stephen Fleming and the big-hitting South African allrounder Albie Morkel, who arrive on April 27. While Fleming, if he gets going, can make up for Hayden's absence at the top of the order, Albie can be expected to more than adequately replace Oram. But they will miss Hussey, who hit the fastest ton in the tournament - a 50-ball effort in the first game- in the middle order. However, the bowling will get better as they will have Makhaya Ntini coming in on April 27. Chennai has an inexperienced bowling attack that includes Palani Amarnath and Manpreet Goni but they have stood up to be counted. With Albie and Ntini in, it will get only better.
  
  Delhi Daredevils
  Daniel Vettori leaves on April 30 but Daredevils are going to get stronger with the inclusion of AB de Villiers, who joins the team on April 27. If the situation warrants an extra bowler or a batsman, de Villiers can don the wicketkeeping gloves as well. If they come across a wicket that aids spin, they might consider playing the legspinner Amit Mishra.
  
  Kings XI Punjab
  Brett Lee, Simon Katich and Kyle Mills will leave India on April 28. Lee's absence will really hit them hard, considering they don't have a foreign player of such class in the squad. Either VRV Singh, the Indian Test bowler, or the Under-19 bowler Ajitesh Argal will have to step up unless, Tom Moody, the coach, decides to pick anAustralian domestic player. Mills is yet to play in a game and though, Katich did play the first game, he is not known for big hitting and his absence won't leave a hole.
  
  Mumbai Indians
  Only Dwayne Bravo will miss out as he is leaving on May 15 to play in the home series against Australia. The allrounder Dominic Thornely, who was hit on the forehead by a Zaheer Khan bouncer and didn't play the second game against Chennai Super Kings, is expected to be fit for the third game. Mumbai will also have the services of the hard-hitting South African batsman Loots Bosman, set to join the squad on June 27.
  
  Rajasthan Royals
  No one is leaving and instead they will be bolstered by the arrival of Graeme Smith, Younis Khan, Sohail Tanveer and Dimitri Mascarenhas. Smith, who will join the team on April 27, will add some much-needed solidity to the fragile top order while Younis, who joined the squad recently, will bolster the middle order. Mohammad Kaif has struggled at the top and Darren Lehmann has looked out of touch so Smith and Younis could well replace them. Mascarenhas, who will be available to play in the IPL from May 12 to 26, is a perfect fit for Twenty20 as he hit Yuvraj for five consecutive sixes in a one-day match last year. Tanveer, a niggardly left-arm seamer, can bat as well and will add an extra dimension to the squad.

  his captaincy is stupid - why did he give the last over to symo esp when shane would have known well abt him etc - should have given to some other bowler - he lost the plot in IPL from beginning by playing that tuspid V Rao for 2 whole matches - adhunaalaye VVS a mannikka mudeela

  v rao is the well known face in their team. they don't have anybod better than v rao. However, they shud open with their best batsmen and not with v. rao.
  
  I think where they went wrong was not having a quality spinner.
  Now, in afridi they have a good spinner.
  
  All is not lost on DC. if at all any team can make a comeback its them.
  
  

• From: CEDYBLUE on Fri Apr 25 4:24:44 2008.

  comeback will get even tougher when symmo leaves after the next match....but thankfully they will be having styris, afridi, ghilli d gibbs for long but they need to sort out the batting order.....it would be good if lax getz injured (sorry for him) but i am confident that the likes of rahul d kaif may adapt reasonably well....not laxman though....

  what they also know is he is not fit for twenty20 and more so not as an opener! rahul opting for jaffa to open and laxman opting for venu are two moves that throws light on their captaincy skills ....look at how shane has used his team....that is positive captaincy.....not like the 'lets wait for the first two matches and see how it goes' approach of laxman d rahul...
  
  rahul atleast would eventually adapt to the shorter version......laxman can't.....

  our players and captains also, expect things to happen on their own, except a few. They are not aggressive enough to make things happen like shane did bowling third over with pathan and getting gilly out.
  
  May be dhoni is a different mould.
  
  it could be seen rpsingh and symmonds laughing while lakshman was suggesting something. so much for the respect lakshman enjoys in the team.
  
  The spirit and involvement shown by rajasthan royals was evident where DC needs to jell as a unit

All is not lost on DC. if at all any team can make a comeback its them. what they also know is he is not fit for twenty20 and more so not as an opener! rahul opting for jaffa to open and laxman opting for venu are two moves that throws light on their captaincy skills ....look at how shane has used his team....that is positive captaincy.....not like the 'lets wait for the first two matches and see how it goes' approach of laxman d rahul... rahul atleast would eventually adapt to the shorter version......laxman can't.....

  
  
  I am not saying they can comeback because of Laxman's captaincy.
  
  Its because they have a good batting lineup that can chase a total of around 200 on any day.

  Bhajji had slapped Sreesanth

  http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/current/story/347604.html
  
  The Indian Premier League faced its first on-field controversy with allegations that Harbhajan Singh hit Sreesanth, his India team-mate and IPL rival, after Friday's match between the Kings XI Punjab and the Mumbai Indians in Mohali. While Yuvraj Singh, Sreesanth's captain, said Harbhajan had apologised after the incident, it remains to be seen how the IPL will handle it as a disciplinary issue.
  
  Sreesanth, who took two wickets for Punjab, was spotted in tears after the match - which his side won - and later confirmed the incident to Cricinfo.
  
  Sources close to him said that after the match a smiling Sreesanth walked up to Harbhajan - the captain of the losing Mumbai Indians - and said "Hard luck". "That was enough for Harbhajan to lose his cool and hit Sreesanth under the eye," said sources close to the fast bowler.
  
  Harbhajan refused to answer questions on the incident at the post-match press conference. "Can we have questions on just cricket," he said in response to questions relating to the incident. His opposing captain, however, was clear in his view. "This is really an ugly incident," Yuvraj said, "this is totally unacceptable." He added, though, that Harbhajan had visited the dressing-room after the match and apologised to Sreesanth.
  
  "At the end of the day, players shake hands. But today saw more that from Harbhajan and Sreesanth," said Tom Moody, the Punjab coach. "The positive thing is that Harbhajan had a long chat with Sreesanth. But I am not sure what ramifications this incident will have." Cricinfo has learnt that Sreesanth complained about the incident to officials of the Mohali franchise, including co-owners Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia.
  
  However, IS Bindra, the president of the Punjab Cricket Association, denied an official complaint has been lodged. "Some media people have asked me about this incident. No official complaint has reached me yet. I believe what happens on the field should be sorted out by the players on the field itself," Bindra told Cricinfo. Later Sreesanth told reporters at the stadium that "nothing serious happened" and that he and Harbhajan were "still part of the national team".
  
  On-field relations between Harbhajan and Sreesanth appeared strained during the India-South Africa Test series as well. Sreesanth had dropped Hashim Amla off Harbhajan during the Chennai Test to which Harbhajan reacted with displeasure after which he was seen motioning towards Sreesanth after making a diving save at point.
  
  This is the second time in the last six months that Harbhajan has been at the centre of controversy. Earlier this year the Australians accused him of racially abusing Andrew Symonds during the Test series Down Under.

  If bhajji had slapped sreesanth, i think he needs to be banned straightaway. Given how BCCI works, i don't think it will happn. Atleast mumbai shud remove him from captaincy and give it to shaun/jayasurya till the master blaster gets back.
  
  Regarding sreesanth's crying, its just the case of emotions taking over. Given his antics on the field, i am not surprised by his behaviour. But, atleast the broadcasters shud've avoided showing it live.
  
  how did the incident, happened during handshakes, was not caught on any camera?
  
  this incident proves that symmo and haydo may be right afterall.

  19.5 Joginder Sharma to Shukla, OUT, that's gone and what fine thinking by the fielders, Shukla can't do much with the yorker and Ishant wants a single, Dhoni throws the ball back to Joginder but the bowler doesn't take the bails off immediately, Ishant is walking back to the pavilion and Shukla is outside the crease when Dhoni signals to Joginder to take the bails off. At the point when the bowler did that, Shukla was out and Ishant in.

  Quote:

  The real reason y sreesanth cried Sreesanth Started crying even before Bhajji slapped. U know y? After the match Preity came onto the field and congratulated eachof her team members. She specially congratulated Bret lee and Yuvi by giving a really warm hug. Sreesanth expected the same to happen with him but preity only shook hands with him. Bhajji was watching all this went to sreesanth shook hands and patted on Sreesanth's face and said "hard luck better luck next time" That was enough for the flood gates to break and tears flowout

  It is reported that BCCI is to conduct a hearing on Monday on this issue. Kings II team has asked for removal of Harbhajan singh. Even mumbai team mates have said they saw harbhajan slapping sree.
  
  it is also suggested that some action may be taken against Harbhajan by BCCI.

Bowling la kooda Salunkhe/Goni/Kulkarni/Piyush have been more than impressive.

  # S Badrinath has batted just twice, but he has the second-highest strike-rate of the IPL: 220.00. # Chennai's Joginder Sharma (4) and Badrinath (3) top the list for the most number of catches so far.

  bhajji has pleaded guilty and they have video evidence that he slapped sree and it was unprovoked, it seems.

  seriously that guy did that on purpose, even b4 the match there was buzz around that the rivalry b/w both these guys might be huge. then why on earth would he go and tell 'hard luck' to another eccentric guy who is captaining for the first time and lost 3 matches - edho onnu, sree kku slap, bajjikku ban

  Sreesanth was the third player that he met. Instead of shaking his hand he actually slapped him and continued down the line, shaking hands with the other players

  i don't like sree at all. enamo oru ball nalla pottutu, batsman kita poi looku vidrathu. wicket vizhundha, palla kadichikittu batsmana moraikaradhu. he continued this sh!t even in IPL.
  
  I think he deserved a slap, but poor bhajji had to cop the ban now.

• From: directhit on Mon Apr 28 11:16:31 2008.

  Quote:

  what provoked Bajji into saying it with fists? The buzz coming through is that Sreesanth taunted him with words on the lines of ‘Did you say monkey or maa ki?’. If the buzz filtering through is true, the taunt got under the spinner’s skin to such an extent because it plays into his awareness that though everyone closed ranks around him at the time of the Symonds-Harbhajan fracas, not everyone in his own team believes in his explanation that maa ki had been misheard as ‘monkey’.

  
  

  Quote:

  The Hindustan Times reports that the Mumbai team had in its pre-match prep factored in Sreesanth’s penchant for going over the top [While on this, clearly his mates know just what the seam bowler is capable of; they had no problems with that thus far because the bowler’s target was the opposition. That mindset however ignores one basic fact: tactical sledges are one thing; human beings prone to misbehave are something else again. The former is controllable; the latter, not—a person who is chronically prone to bad behavior cannot be aimed in a direction of your choosing, any more than you can give a monkey a machine gun and expect that it will be trained only on enemies.

  
  
  

  Quote:

  There is this instance from when a fellow India player was facing him at nets and got really angry because Sreesanth insisted on bowling wide outside off-stump, ensuring that the batsman couldn’t get a proper bat, and walked off in disgust.

  Open Letters: Dear Harbhajan Singh
  
  
  
  Mainak Dhar is an alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad whose career in the corporate sector has spanned almost a dozen years across Mumbai, Bangkok and now Singapore. Cubicle dweller by day and writer by night, he has written six books, including the bestselling novel, The Funda of Mix-ology. Learn more about it at www.getthefunda.com.
  
  In this new series, Mainak writes open letters to people in the news, commenting on the state of affairs in the world today. Todays column is an open letter to the 'angry young man' of Indian Cricket, Harbhajan Singh.
  
  Dear Harbhajan,
  
  I hope you have the time to read my letter since you arent going to be busy playing cricket for a few weeks now. While the ban from the IPL and the loss of your match fees may rankle, look at the bright side. We all dream of hitting our co-workers and getting away with it -- in effect you did exactly that and all you get is a couple of weeks of unpaid leave after which you will resume your career. So as you cool your heels, do realise just how lucky you are to be a cricket star in this cricket-crazy nation of ours.
  
  If that, and the prospect of a few weeks off, doesnt cheer you up, console yourself with the fact that no matter what they say about you, you are a true poster boy for what many have come to believe is the new India.
  
  An India where restraint is something we have long forgotten, and the slightest affront, real or imagined, makes us lash out, with harsh words or worse. Your choicest epithets targeted at Symonds or even the slap on Sreesanths cheek pale in comparison versus the riots between communities that accompany seemingly trivial grievances.
  
  
  An India where those who have the money and influence believe that they are above the law. Where nothing is really sacrosanct anymore, let alone the traditions that have come to shape us. Cricket is a game, but destroying its proud roots and traditions one slap at a time is not much compared to how many of our rich and famous are slowly but surely chipping away at some of the foundations that made us a nation in the first place- seemingly archaic notions like democracy and equality before the law.
  
  An India where the mantle of leadership is worn all too casually and with no regard to the true burdens and responsibilities of leadership. So what if you frittered away and disgraced your captaincy of the Mumbai Indians with the slapping incident? Our leaders do far worse, and seem none the worse for wear for all their venal ways.
  
  An India where faux patriotism and looking out for oneself count for more than the true meaning of being an Indian, with all the responsibility it entails. So what if you just reacted based on your emotions, with no regard to the impact it would have on your team? That is nothing compared to the millions of us who go about life mouthing the usual platitudes about patriotism, but not really giving a damn about the society around us.
  
  
  i am not a shrink and I have no idea what makes you so angry, but as I think of the above, I realize you are but a product of our times. The same times that produce rich brats who run over poor pavement dwellers, harass women on the streets and believe they can buy their way out of anything.
  
  Yes, you are a star, but let us face it- the fate of one Cricketer will be no more than a minor footnote in the history of our times. So honestly, I really dont give a damn what happens with you and your tantrums, but as a lover of Cricket and someone who does give more than a damn about what happens with our society, I am really glad in a way to see your spectacle play out. It holds a mirror up to all of us, reminding us of the dangers of the path we seem to be walking.
  
  And also it gives me hope that no matter how rich or famous you may think you are, you shall not always get away with it. If nothing else, I hope that is a lesson you internalise during your time off.
  
  Best regards,
  Mainak Dhar

  Naan inge dhoni pathi mattum pesave illayae. I was talking about the entire chennai team. Adhukaaga edhukku matha team-ae mattam thatti pesureenga. . Even mumbai didnt have sachin till this very game. And its just a game of cricket any team can win and lose a game. It just takes one bad day.

  Quote:

  When the rumor started circulating that franchise owner Priety Zinta was reserving her post-match hugs for superstars like Brett Lee, depriving the lesser lights from a chestlock, my first reaction was a “What will people think of next!” ( Related trivia: Ms. Zinta had previously accused Shiney Ahuja of hugging her too hard during the shooting of a film) While this may be true (or not) and in any case Priety Zinta has ever right to be selective in distributing her jadoo ki jhappis, the story had a subtext of discrimination between the “elite players” and the others.

  Quote:

  While Ishant is a great person to have in your team and Murali Kartik (who ranks after Kumble, Harbhajan and Piyush Chawla in the list of Indian spinners) a debatable presence, paying anything above Rs 101 to get Agarkar, inconsistent at best and execrable at worst, makes no sense.

  Quote:

  Standout Performer: Shane Warne. And Ila Arun for her “Ar har har” Rajasthan Royals theme song which, in its supreme irritation-inducing ability, must be getting on the opponent’s nerves as it is played between overs.

  Quote:

  Bangalore Royal Challengers problems began the day Rahul Dravid, their icon player, based his squad selection on the principle of “A good Test player can play any version of the game” creating a line-up of stodgy, joyless, technically correct, emotionally mature batsmen for whom Twenty20 means 20 runs in 20 overs Watching the Bangalore Royal Challengers has been like drinking a Kingfisher beer that had gone flat. Sunil Joshi looks like he just came out from a geriatric care facility, Anil Kumble appeared bored and disinterested as he opened his IPL campaign with two cringeworthy longhops (each dispatched for four) and promptly landed on the bench in the next game, Dravid looks like he hasn’t been having good bowel movement for a few weeks now

  Warne upset at Ganguly's refusal to walk Cricinfo staff May 1, 2008 The Indian Premier League feels increasingly like the Shane Warne Show. Tonight, after his Rajasthan Royals side made it four wins in a row in front of a partisan crowd at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur, Warne launched into a stinging attack on Sourav Ganguly, the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, for what he perceived to be a blatant disregard for the spirit of the game. He seemed to have a point, but right now Warne could probably tell you the earth was flat and you'd believe him. Warne was already irritated by the time Ganguly refused to walk for a catch claimed at deep midwicket by Graeme Smith. Ganguly famously made Steve Waugh wait at the toss, and now Warne believed the former India captain was running on Sourav-time yet again. "Our batters were waiting five minutes for the home side to go out," said Warne. "And when we came out in the field, we were waiting for Sourav. He was just going on his own time." Then came the catch, or non-catch, depending on your interpretation of the TV pictures. Smith was convinced he had taken Ganguly's swing cleanly, and so, plainly, was Warne. But Ganguly asked for a replay - which he is not supposed to do - and Asad Rauf up in the TV box could not be 100% certain the ball had not bounced. Ganguly fell in the next over anyway, but Warne was furious. "I was disappointed because in Bangalore we signed that wall about the spirit of cricket," he said. "If an international captain like Graeme Smith caught it and said it was a clean catch and Rudi Koertzen said he caught it, easy... And anyway, the players aren't allowed to ask for the umpire. But Sourav asked the Indian umpire to go to the TV replay. That's not in the spirit of the game so I was very, very disappointed with Sourav." Warne's young charges are learning more than they can have dreamed from him as this tournament progresses, so it will be interesting to see if they adopt his aversion to Ganguly by the time these sides next meet, on May 20 at Eden Gardens. As Warne pointed out, to score 196 for 7 when the in-form overseas pair of Graeme Smith and Shane Watson have contributed two runs between them suggests an unusually close-knit side. Rajasthan sprang a surprise - at least that's how Warne presented it - by picking the unknown 24-year-old opener Swapnil Asnodkar, who promptly added to the Midas Touch theory by whacking a 34-ball 60 which belied his tiny frame. There were runs too for Yusuf Pathan, whose stature grows by the game, and two wickets in an over for Siddharth Trivedi, who was singled out for special praise by Warne. Actually, he singled out pretty well everyone for special praise, including Ravindra Jadeja (33 off 19 balls and a "future superstar") but then that's what he does so well. "We try to get the best out of every individual in our squad," he explained. "I'm trying to teach 20 years of knowledge, about summing up the situation, finding a way to score, how to construct an over, be positive, stand up tall, and back yourself. And so far it's working. It's the benefit of my experience and to their credit they're learning very, very fast. We show spirit every game. Everyone's in it together. Never underestimate the spirit of a team." There was a symbolic moment right at the end of the game. Kolkata's No.11 Ashok Dinda lifted Watson in the gap between mid-off and extra cover, and both Warne and the substitute fielder Taruwar Kohli, converged on the ball as it hung temptingly in the air. In the event, Kohli hung on, but Warne fell to the ground with him, as if helping him complete the catch right down to the last detail. "Sometimes international players think they know it all," said Warne, implicitly advocating the exuberance of youth. You sense his players will do anything for him. And if they win against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, they will present him with a league table which, against all the odds, will show Rajasthan Royals on top of the IPL.

  Quote:

  Warne shouldn't talk about the spirit of cricket - Ganguly Sourav Ganguly, captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, has dismissed Shane Warne's criticism of his on-field behaviour, even questioning his moral right to comment about the spirit of the game. Warne, leading the Rajasthan Royals, first slammed Ganguly for taking too long to come out to bat and then condemned his attitude towards the IPL's Spirit of Cricket agreement when he questioned a catch taken by Graeme Smith. Ganguly, however, came down on heavy on Warne for criticising him. "Is complaining against a dropped catch against the spirit of the game? " he told Times Now, an Indian news channel. "We just need to look at Warne's career to understand that he has no moral right to teach what the spirit of the game is. I just want to laugh at what Warne is saying. He should not be talking about the spirit of the game. "I told him [the umpire, GA Pratapkumar] the catch was not taken cleanly," added Ganguly. "Referring to the third umpire was his decision." On Warne saying he arrived late, Ganguly replied: "The umpires have not told me anything so I don't know what Warney is trying to say." Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive Joy Bhattacharya defended Ganguly's actions, saying they were well within the laws of the game. "He just appealed to the umpire to check if the catch (by Smith) was clean. We feel he was perfectly within his rights, if he had any doubt in his mind. And if the umpire on the field had turned around and said it was clean, that would have been the end of the story. He [Warne] is no stranger to controversy. For us to react would just give importance to Warne's comments." Smith, who took the controversial catch at deep midwicket on the last ball of the 13th over, maintained that it was properly taken. "It was cleanly taken.....there is no doubt about that," he said. "The replay also suggests that the catch was clean. It's really nice to know your captain backing you during controversy." "I have a good relationship with Graeme Smith and I have enough respect for him," said Ganguly. "I don't want to drag him into it. But the thing is in cases like this, often the fielder does not realise that he had actually taken a drop catch." Meanwhile Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul, who recently joined Kolkata, felt Ganguly's captaincy in Twenty20 cricket had a way to go. "This format is new for Ganguly. He is finding it difficult," Gul told PTI. "He has to learn a few more tricks. We also have to find the right combination and rhythm." Kolkata have now lost three IPL matches in a row.

  I don't find anything wrong in ganguly standing his ground,
  he got a rough decision recently in sydney. why shud he believe a fielder even if he is greame smith?
  The umpires instead of believing the players, should believe their eyes for catch and ears( for knicks), if they can't see the catch, they shud go to 3rd umpire immediately. sorry Mr. Warne, there is no place for fielder's word.
  
  once the umpire has given his word, the players show the spirit in accepting the decision. I think warne is the one who is at fault for not respecting 3rd umpire's decision.
  
  

• From: littlemaster1982 on Fri May 2 8:05:59 2008.

  AFAIK, a batsman cannot ask an umpire to refer the third umpire. That's what Shane Warne refers as "which Ganguly has no right to do".

  FYI, he can't question saurav's onfield behaviour in a PC, thats the umpire and match refree's job to take appropriate action. he can't even tell that saurav should take fielder's word. Even for four/six, the umpire goes to third umpire, why can't they go to 3rd umpire for close catches? The umpire has to be the deciding authority. When in doubt, go to 3rd umpire.when replays are inconclusive, benefit goes to batsmen.

  I agree with this. But an umpire goes to third umpire based on fielding team's appeal, not because of the batsman telling him. That's what I am talking about.

  Less chances for that. I don't have big hopes on sachin esp when he is not fully fit Delhi has a great chance of winning the match unless some miracle happens in the form of SACHIN + SANATH

  Super Kings will bounce back: Dhoni
  
  Chennai: Chennai Super Kings will continue their aggressive approach despite their defeat to the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL), skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said on Friday night.
  
  Reacting to his team's eight-wicket loss, their first in five matches in the Twenty20 league, Dhoni asserted that the Gautam Gambhir-Virender Sehwag partnership took the game away from the Super Kings.
  
  "It was Sehwag's day and there was not much we could do although he did give us a few chances. Both he and Gambhir are quality batsmen and tonight, they played extremely well," Dhoni said.
  
  Regarding his own team's overall performances, Dhoni said he was quite happy with his bowlers while marking out off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for special mention.
  
  "Tonight's defeat would give us time to think as to where we went wrong and how we can correct our mistakes. I am very confident that we will bounce back in time for our next game (against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur, Sunday)," he said.
  
  On opener Stephen Fleming's early dismissal, Dhoni asserted: "Fleming is a class player and he should not be judged on the basis of just one innings, and I am sure he will get among runs soon."
  
  About his team's strategy, the skipper said there might not be major changes. "We will continue to play aggressively. Perhaps, we might push Suresh Raina up the order," he said.
  
  Meanwhile, representing the Daredevils, Glenn McGrath, the former Aussie fast bowler, complimented the bowling attack saying they made good use of the bounce and carry that the pitch afforded to restrict the Super Kings.
  
  "Overall, we did a good job in both bowling and batting. The target was pretty decent, but Gambhir and Sehwag stuck to their task to give us a solid start. We have four quality pace bowlers and that provides us an edge," he said.
  
  Man of the Match Sehwag, on his part, admitted that the pitch was tailor-made for stroke-play. "It was a fantastic pitch and the ball was coming on nicely. We could afford to play our shots," he said.

  Eagerness to spend time with his family prompted Virender Sehwag to launch a blistering attack on the Deccan Chargers bowling during the IPL match at Hyderabad. The Delhi batsman revealed that his wife and son were waiting at the hotel for him and he wanted to finish off the match as quickly as possible.

  I am talking about psychological factor. When it is something like 0/2 that too in Twenty-20 where you have to score something in 120 balls, where you dont have time to build a big partnership, the one and two down players were forced to hit everything.
  
  Parthiv always scores some quick 15,20 runs in all the matches he played so it would have been better if those two wickets fall for 20 to 30 runs

  Agreed! But Hussey/Saha chase was an attempt something like do or die.
  
  In this case..
  The pitch is normal, batsman friendly so even if you score 170 it is not an acceptable total so they want to fire resulting in a collapse

  i said a bit unlucky, cos of marginal lbw decision that cud've gone in favour of batsmen easily and no one wud've complained.
  
  T20 is a batsman's game, 20 over-la 10 wicket vechikunu 200 run adikanum, illaina there is no point in blaming bowlers.
  Raina and badri need to play better and sensible cricket. They wouldn't get better chance to prove their class.

Not sure what you mean.. Defending a low total as the CSK were, it was baffling to see Dhoni's field placements and the idea behind delaying Murali's entry

  
  
  AFAIK, murali never bowls inside powerplay even for sri lanka and I am not sure about how much grip he would get with new ball to be able to control it.
  
  the only complaint i have is dhoni shud've shuffled his fast bowlers inside powerplay with one over each.

  it is good in a way, seeing the way joginder batted and dropped the sitter, he wud've gone for plenty of runs if he had bowled.

  no sriranga - not giving the ball to jogindher sensing he might be hit (he has been escaping for quite a long time now anyways ) is different than ur interpretation of 'he dropped a sitter so not given the ball'

  out of 11, if we assume all 4 foreigners do play (fleming has been bad till now) then we have 7 and of that Dhoni/Raina/Goni have done well. that leaves only 4 slots and parthiv has not done too bad - hasnt converted his starts. baaki 3 la Badri + Vidyut - Jogindher kku badhil Palani or if Balaji is back that would be the best.

  nerd,
  i said bit unlucky with the lbw decisions.
  they showed the hawk eye for the whole first over, none of the deliveries were hitting the stumps. the umpire can be forgiven cos it was the first over. if it had been the 3rd over ( after seeing the bounce off the pitch from shane watson), the batsmen wud've survived the lbw shouts, IMO.
  
  mumbai was plain lucky with AB's wicket. he was playing well at the time along with sehwag and that was the turning point of the game.

  Charu Sharma removed as Bangalore's CEO
  
  Ajay S Shankar
  
  May 6, 2008

  The Bangalore Royal Challengers' poor run in the IPL has claimed its first victim with the franchise sacking Charu Sharma, their CEO, holding him responsible for the team's poor performance in the Twenty20 tournament's inaugural season. Sharma has been replaced by Brijesh Patel, the former India Test player and secretary of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), which runs the game in the franchise's home city.
  
  The development came a day after Bangalore, the IPL's second-most expensive franchise, were comprehensively beaten on their home ground by Kings XI Punjab, their fifth defeat in the competition. They currently lie second from bottom in the points table after showing patchy form through the tournament.
  
  A Royal Challengers team spokesperson said Sharma, a well-known television professional and former national diving champion, stepped down due to "personal reasons" but a source closely associated with the development told Cricinfo he was asked to leave by Vijay Mallya, the chairman of United Spirits Limited, the liquor company that owns the team.
  
  Sharma was not available for comment but it's learnt he was told categorically on Tuesday afternoon that he would have to leave. "Charu can't go out to bat or bowl for the team so, obviously, the owner wants to send a strong message after the string of defeats. This is clearly a symbolic gesture but unfortunately, the CEO has been made the scapegoat," the sources said.
  
  The news seemed to have surprised many of the players in the Bangalore team, who reached Kolkata on Tuesday night. "It's been shocking, and so early in the tournament," a senior player told Cricinfo. "There are still seven matches to go, and we could have clawed back. I just hope this doesn't put additional pressure on the team now because the first question a team-mate asked on hearing about this development was: Who's next?"
  
  The team's spokesperson, however, dismissed speculation that Venkatesh Prasad, the team coach, was on his way out too, though he said Patel would be part of the team management for their next match against the Knight Riders in Kolkata on Thursday.
  
  Mallya is learnt to have been extremely upset on Monday night after he watched his team, led by Rahul Dravid, the former India captain, lose their fifth match. Mallya bought the franchise from the IPL council with a bid of US$ 111.6 million and then faced a barrage of criticism after the players' auction where Dravid took the lead in picking a squad - including South Africa's Jacques Kallis and India's Wasim Jaffer - that has since been tagged as a Test XI.
  
  Curiously, Patel, the new CEO, and Mallya were on the opposite sides of a bitterly fought election to the general body of the KSCA, in which Mallya was backing Srikantadatta Wadiyar for the president's post against Gundappa Viswanath, the former Test batsman who was supported by Patel. Though Wadiyar won, Patel, known for his organisational skills, managed to hold on to the secretary's post.

  cameron white can be devastating on his day and misbah is a very clever 20-20 player(his padding of chawla was an off day i believe ), kohli is an exciting talent and boucher can be handy too! but yes as u say they haven't jelled as a team and may be lacking an inspirational captain!

  Tendulkar targets return against Chennai
  
  Cricinfo staff
  
  May 7, 2008
  
  Tendulkar recovering from injury
  The Indian Premier League is nearly half over but its biggest draw Sachin Tendulkar is yet to play a game because of a groin injury. However, he is optimistic of joining the resurgent Mumbai Indians soon. "I can tell you roughly that I'm targetting the next match [against Chennai on May 14], Sachin said while watching Mumbai play Rajasthan from the sidelines. "If I'm in the middle, I should be able to compete, for if I'm not able to compete, I'll be letting the team down."

  Quote:

  Everywhere the bottomline is top priority. Once you sign that bottomline, you sign away with it your claim to be treated with dignity and respect. You become an instrument of success - collateral damage if the search for that success requires change. Now cricket must deal with the implications of chasing that bottomline. The franchise owners operate under market conditions. Unlike the BCCI, which is answerable to no one (and doesn't answer even when it is), the men who own the eight teams are accountable. One of them, N Srinivasan - vice-chairman and CEO of India Cements - had to explain in detail to the company's investors why he spent $91 million buying the Chennai franchise. Srinivasan took questions at the meeting with investors and analysts in January and replied in far greater detail than he has been known to at press conferences of the BCCI, of which he is treasurer. He made two broad points: One, that this was seen as a marketing venture. "The way it will benefit me, how it will develop my brand ... is to use our entire retail chain, our distribution chain, to get involved in this process ... They will get visits by all these cricketers ... top cricketers will go around the state, will go around meeting all our people and customers, which we feel will add great value to our brand." The second point was on the money. Asked from which year he expected to break even, Srinivasan's reply was unambiguous: "I will make money with day one, year one." No room for glorious uncertainties there, then. From that perspective, Vijay Mallya's manoeuvre makes sense. You can question the timing, you can question the target (why the CEO, why not the captain or the chief cricket officer?), but you can't question the intent. Mallya wants results and he wants them now. Not next season, not even at the end of this one. He may not be hostage to share prices but he is concerned about image, which is currently taking a bit of a battering. His sacking of the CEO, however illogical it may seem, will at least convey clearly what he wants. The ripple effect will be felt across the franchises. In Mumbai, owned by India's richest businessman; in Kolkata, owned by the most successful actor. In Chennai, where some of those investors Srinivasan spoke to will be checking the balance sheet with greater scrutiny. There will be pressure, some uncertainty, perhaps even a bit of fear. Now we know why those playing in the ICL seemed to be having so much fun. They wanted it to be like football. Someone forgot to tell them it's a whole new ball game.

  Balaji to Dhawan, FOUR!!, short and wide outside the off stump, Dhawan goes on the backfoot and cuts it to deep backward point, Badrinath doesn't get his body behind the ball, makes a silly fumble and it proves very costly!
