"could not prevent Bangalore from losing their second straight match."
Bangalore's first match was against the Rajasthan Royals, and they won it. This was not their second straight loss, or even their second loss, for that matter.

Error of facts from your side.
This is the second straight loss. I think you are not following the matches properly. This is their second straight loss and the first was being against Chennai. Chennai won by 92 Runs.
We should track the progress of V.Kohli Rohit Sharma , Badri , Ojah and others. that is the whole purpose of IPL. So far V.Kohli , ojah and Sharma have been promising.

For Rohit Sharma, this is a great opportunity, and I am afraid last opportunity to show his worth. Suresh Raina is becoming a consistent player and Sharma should at least be worth for bench strength.
Hey Guys.. wht u think about Dravid. He is playing superbly. It seems like he is on a mission to ans back the critics who wrote him off of T20 format of cricket. Its pleasant watching him scoring at such high strike rate. And he is timing it also well.

Dravid should play the T20 world cup (the team is not selected, only the probables have been selected). If he is selected, he will provide balance along with power to the side.

But here he is consistently playing well since past 3 matches. But certainly no match winner. But i guess B'lore team lost even before he arrived on the crease.

it doesnt matter even if dravid scores a 200 in ipl he is not in the team for world cup t20 the t20 world cup squad is already packed with young power hitters , dravid should become a fast bowler thats his only chance

in no means he will b included in T20 worldcup squad. If included it will break teams rhytham. but ceratinly he showed that he can fit in any format of the game if required. and with class.

Rahul is always a great batsman, format does not matter. Why he does not get deserved recognition: 1) Today's cricket fans and so called experts recognize only power hitting and carefree strokes. They do not appreciate good batting. That everyone can not be a free striker like Gilchrist is not recognized.
2) His team is not playing consistently. Even in last IPL Rahul played well. But the team did not deliver. Same applies to Laxman and adds pressure.

its a pity that dravid being an outstanding test batsman , has played odis and t20 throughout his career just to prove his critics wrong although he is playing well himself its his team which is on a downslide
