Why to blame Dravid for the defeat ? Manish Pandey, Uthappa & virat Kohli played miserably, why don't u blame them ? Dravid played well in the 1st match.

Atleast his cart wheel will go on non-stop with any puncture. Dravid was a slow coach in the ODIs itself. I'm sure in the next auction none of the teams will be ready to take him.
I cant understand why everyone is blaming RCB for this defeat. Full credit goes to the Australian Red Backs which is clear from their performances till now in CLT20
With 1 bad match you do not predict the team.Yes I accept that yesterday everyone failed in all departments.It's just 1 bad day.I am sure RCB will bounce back strongly against MI,who are already under pressure.If RCB gets K.Pollard early then MI are not going to score much runs.If RCB learns from their mistake they can reach reach SF without much worry.Their NRR is also good.Let's hope for the best.Either RCB or CSK should lift the trophy.One good day for RCB will change the course of game away from all teams.Good Luck RCB.
is heavily depending on Kallis for building up innings. Dravid does not know what to do on the filed. He dropped a sitter last time and tried a shot in this match which is not his cup of tea.
Kumble should come out of all forms of cricket. Especially 20-20 is a young man's game where he totally misfits. The way he tries to stop a ball on the field looks ridiculous. He has become too old for cricket even though he did bowls well. Surprise failure is Cameron White! He never shone in IPL. Peiterson's absence is bothering RCB. RCB should leave Kumble, Dravid, Akhil and Vinaykumar for next season and try young blood from Karnataka team.

So you are suggesting dropping Jumbo who by far has been the best bowler for RCB in last two seasons and was the best bowler yesterday. Don't forget RCB fortunes changed after he took over the captaincy from KP.He still remains the inspiration for RCB.Also,Lets not forget that oldies like Sachin, Jayasuriya, Hayden, Warne are still playing and that rejects your theory of 20-20 being a young man's game. On the contrary, it suits these people as they have to spend only 40 overs in the field. Bowlers only need to bowl 4 overs. Thats all.

Its funny how people talk just for the sake of it not really knowing facts... RCB has become a 'strong' team for many today from the weak test team it was in IPL1 mainly because of Jumbo.. and you talk of keeping him out... funny guy.
RCB failed to perform n battng & bowling.The Rahuls(wall, siuted for test only), Robins, kohli s, white s.....? white was projected as agood T20 player,when he plays for RCB he never peformed, But for Aussi he always performed....Why???.
What was wrong? I was hoping to see some nice batting from Manish, Robin and Virat. Very disappointing, especially the way Manish and Virat got out. Dravid, of course, I even wonder why is he playing this form of game. Shouldn't he retire from ODIs and T20s?

I agree that draavid should quit the game of cricket itself. No other player in the whole is protected and pampered like him. What is the secret- any fixing by the opponents?

Have you ever the facial expression of Dravid? Looks like someone has forced him to do things he doesn't like.Time he retired to spend money he accumulated out of this game.
Jumbo & thinktank didn't really do their homework to tackle redbacks. It was really a clean clean strike from harris & klinger, running between the wickets awesome. I couldn't see any weakness except they struggled a bit to praveen/jumbo's incoming deliveries, still were able to run for a single.

You don't often see jumbo bowling flipper & from wide of the crease in the first over, this tells you how good the redback batsmen middling the ball.
