Deccan chargers, Delhi daredevils, Kings XI worst teams of 4th edition of IPL 4. Thrown away (not retained) gud players and bought weak players. Its the mistake they have committed by their own hands. Even a layman cant think of leaving such gud players. These 3 teams will be fighting for bottom position.
After high voltage nationalistic World cup and Anna Hazare's historic Lok Pal movement,IPL seems like a silly club game,emotions are not getting connected...
IPL is trying to incite more regional feeling among already regionalist Indians.It is so absurd that even Tamil people are jumping in the name of Chennai although it is full of Dhoni,Raina and others apart from foreigners.
We should change the team names.There is no Punjabi in Punjab team,rarely any tamil in tamil team,rarely any new marathi talent in Mumbai Indians(that old Sachin still continues to take the space and spin money) the same is not the case of vicotrian or new south wales teams in Australia,they nurse local talents and there is total neglect towards north east India's representation in this money spinning and black money whitening fixer's tournament...in place of spending so much money to few cricketers,it would have been more responsible if Mallyas and Ambani's would have contributed in developing sports in rural India taking a cue from the Tatas...
It is also shameful that not a single current or present came forward in support of Anna Hazare.These shameless cricketers did not even protest when BCCI did not send cricket teams to Asian games and we gifted two gold medals to Pakistan,Srilanka.Cricketers are selfish personalSlaves of corrupt BCCI and corrupt corporates. I earnestly request all to boycottIPL and make it a flop show,cricketers already have crores of rupees....

@ om shanti: those who boycott IPL should also not write any messages on ipl related forum. Hopefully, you will practice what you preach since writing even negative views about IPL demonstrates that you have an interest in the competition!
Lessons for those who pretend to know what is chucking. ICC uses some complicated, stupid definition to describe a very simple rule. Here is the real one-line definition: "The bowler cannot bend his elbow while completing the bowling action".
Thats it. No more, no less.
Note that there are multiple joints in the human arm. Shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger joints. You can bend all your joints, other than the elbow, as much as you like during bowling. In fact the best bowlers are best because they use their fingers and wrist to perfection.
So unlike some ignorant poster noted below its perfectly fine to bend your arm 45 degrees at the shoulder. Why don't most bowlers do that? Keeping your arm straight at the shoulder allows you to extract as much bounce from the pitch as possible. But Malinga does not rely on bounce. He relies more on the balling skidding on the track.
Funfact: Muralitharan often bends his elbow while bowling, so in fact he checks regularly. But he gets away with it because Sri Lankans have explained it as a birth defect in his elbow. Malinga's bowling is perfectly fine though.
So please educate yourself before you talk about chucking.

And for your information it is not 45% it is 15% changed from 10% to allow chuckers like Murli

Malinga should not allowed to bowl.He is a jevalin thrower. no body can bowl so many yorkers with legal action. His throwing action helps him do so.

And do you know what the hell chucking is. You have copied some stuff from somewhere. I know that Malinga is not a chuker but I hate those Sri Lankans. I don't want them to make money by playing in IPL. You forgot what their president said about India? Yes Murli was a chucker.
