Its high time SHAMELESS bowlers like Munaf Patel should be shown the doors out of the team. This Shameless Stupid Fellow shamelessly bowls at at speed of 109 km/hr. No wonder he gets hit out of the park by good batsmen. This can happen only in India as in teams like Australia they have a benchmark for speed for bowlers. Even an average bowler there bowls at around 140 km/hr and needless to say that bowlers like Lee and Tait bowl at an average speed of over 148. Shamelessly bowlers like Munaf Patel have started taking their place for granted. Throw the Stupid Fellow out of the team and its high time Indian team too take lessons from the books of Aussies and set a minimum benchmark for speed for bowlers.

Yes u have a point. The problem is in india, we are so obsessed with batsmen that we forget that fast bowlers win matches and unless one bowls at a certain speed he would not be able to win matches on a consistent basis. A bowler needs to have speed to start with and then he can develop variety in his bowling as he matures. But i am yet to see a former indian cricketer talk about this aspect and unless this is addressed, it would not be possible to win matches abroad against top teams.
DD is like the South African national team - very cleanical, dominating and professional. But fumbles when it matters. This is the best team in the fray. Hope they make it this time!
kkr and mumbai - every year these two teams start off good..only to find themselves at the bottom of the rung..this time it should not be any different.

Dear Sania, MI did not qualify for semi-finals once. Do you think they are good team? Along with KKR they are equally worst IPL teams so far?

hey Sania, your moustache is showing .. using Sania's name is a very old trick .. think of something new.
This edition of IPL will ensure the RR grabbing last spot. Just as the KKR last year. Only Pathan and Oja will do something to cheer for them. Warne lost his charm and Smith is an absolute waste. What do you think guys?

Too early to say who is good and bad. Any team reaching semi-final is good. Let KKR and MI prove themselves by reaching semi-final atleast once. Winning the final and semi-final may require luck factor but reaching semi-final is on merit. RR has proved one of the top teams so far. Lets see at the end to do reality check.

I got ur point. but attitude makes a team or individual different. The way smith and co batted conveys the message that they are still in the hangover of 1st IPL. things are different now. all teams are got somuch improvement. only RR looks like a school team. I wonder if warne show his magic again

Sorry to say.. but the fact is they really missing a bowler like tanvir. but they can still manage if they got a talented slow bowler capable to get the pace of the ball in a more accurate way.
