This kind of attitude is most dangerous for international cricket.IPL is hitting at the root of cricket by encouraging players to bunk their national duty for pure commercial reasons.

You idiot!! Gayle would have been more than happy to play for WI but he was not at all selected by WI Cricket board for the Pak series.So having got pissed off over that, he came to play in IPL. Don't just blabber things coz of ur ignorance !!!

Cognitive Mood:
;-)... Read below.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) dismissed Chris Gayle’s claims that he was dropped without being told, insisting that it was the devastating batsman who made himself unavailable for selection before heading off to the lucrative IPL.
WICB chief Ernest Hilaire said the Board did all it could to contact Gayle, who suffered an abdominal strain during the World Cup.
Gayle was not picked for the ongoing series against Pakistan and the batsman went on to state that his Board left him with no choice but to join IPL by not reaching out to him.
But the WICB contradicted his claims.
“We can dispel all that Chris (Gayle) said by releasing the letters and emails,” Hilaire told the ‘Line & Length Network’
“But we should not do that. You communicate with a player, you ask for his opinions, you ask for him to account on certain statements he made, you ask him what’s his position on certain things and you expect to be treated with a certain degree of confidence.
But I agree with the last line of your statement.... :)

What is wrong with the players making money?
Only film actors, businessmen should make money?
Why are people working for Reliance? Why are they buying stocks from Reliance? Mukesh Ambani is making money.
If someone is making money, there are others who are benefitted with it. Example: If Mukesh Ambani is making money, then there are others who are getting employment.
If the cricketers are making money, then there are others who find employment (from ground staff to people working for Sports channels, newspapers, magazines, internet sites etc.)
If crickers do not make money, then there will be much more unemployment.
What I do agree is that they should not make insane amount of money which does not match their skill and quality.
CHRIS GAYLE WAS NOT PICKED IN AUCTION...WHICH SHOWS THAT THE FRANCHISE OWNERS ARE NOTHING BUT DUMMB A55ES...MALLYA PLAYED A LOTTERY AND HIT THE JACKPOT

No buddy, actually everybody thought that he will be unavailable for most number of matches in IPL because they (WI) were having PAK tour at the same time. But as the WI selection committee did not selected Gayle so he was picked...
RCB VS CSK, Winner CSK- Because of Team Work(All players are good enough) where as RCB is Just depend on CH Gayle(one man show will not workout on play-offs) MI VS KNR, Winner MI- Because strong batting & Bowling line-up.

how can you naidu(dog-du) predict mumbai to win with players like sachin who play for their self interest? mumbai will never win ipl as long as players like sachin are there.

In the last match it was the bowlers who did damage for RCB against CSK. It is not just one man show.
Re: Re: Prediction over Winner of IPL-4
by nagendra naidu on May 23, 2011 01:15 PM
Yes I agree, But still 3-4 places useless in RCB team, 1) no partner for Gayle to open 2) Kaif 3) 7th position

by sakar panch on May 23, 2011 01:24 PM
It was a win the toss win the match pitch. But yet CSK has no reason to play so badly. I should say that the real capability of CSK was on view that day - all the other wins are fishy
wonder when sachin will learn to be a good batsman and a good captain. he has played over 20 years of international cricket. but dhoni has left him far behind in all respects in just 6-7 years...
Re: Re: sachin vs dhoni
by Sunil Vaidya on May 23, 2011 06:28 PM
navin you are right (pun intended)
probably nobody will ever break his statistical record. nobody will also ever break the record that despite playing for more than 2 decades he has not been a match winner. and other players who have played far less than him have achieved much more than him in terms of winning matches for india, inspiring others to give their best, always have a winning attitude, never lose your cool and be positive in worst possible situations, to fight till the last...
Re: Re: Re: sachin vs dhoni
by naayikunni on May 24, 2011 02:51 AM
yeah, sachin plays only to amass runs and not victory. best example is even playing ipl he is doing the same. see for the entire ipl career he is running after the orange cap and doesn't even care for how many times mumbai have won ipl. i guess sachin doesn't make a good team player after all....
Re: Re: Re: Re: sachin vs dhoni
by Sunil Vaidya on May 24, 2011 11:29 AM
pseudo:
i am surprised you think dhoni will not achieve even 1/10th of what ponting did from 2003 to 2010. but then again i must not be surprised. i must also consider the fact that you are cricket-illiterate and therefore it is no surprise that you voice such an opinion...:)
BTW if you remember pseudo i had already accepted far back that dhoni will never be as good a captain as ponting. if you remember in the distant past i DID agree that dhoni will not achieve as much as ponting did. remember i had said even then that to be as good as ponting dhoni will have to lose 4 consecutive series like ponting did against england, SA (away and home) and india. if you remember pseudo i had already conceded even then that for dhoni to lose 4 consecutive series is a tough ask. you may even have saved that post...:)
BTW i would also like to point you ponting's power of positive thinking. remember after losing the earlier ashes series how ponting had become nervous and frightened and insecure? did he not then say that after the next ashes series he might be out of job. pseudo, ponting's worst fears did come true. see the power of positive thinking by ponting?...:)
BTW i would also like you to remember what ponting ''achieved'' against dhoni. 4 tests and 4 losses against dhoni and his team india...:)

Boss.. Brian Lara and Shaun pollock were 100 times better captain than Sachin... Sachin's records are only results of longevity and not quality....Just like Muralidharan is not considered as the greatest bowler of all time, sachin is also not the greatest batsman..he is a records collector not a team player or a match winner let alone even a substandard captain...as some one once wrote about sachin, he is a disaster walking around in captains role..lol

Sujith Karun:
:-)... Sachin's records are only results of longevity? Then Sunil Vaidya's comment about Dhoni should also read the same.... :)
Dhoni got some "records" under his name just because he is playing for the last 7-8 years.... Even Amol Parikh from Bandra could have achieved that IF only he played for 7 years and was made the captain of the Indian team... ;-)

Gayle has played just 9 matches in the IPL and left him far behind in all respects in just 9 matches... Vettori has captained RCB in just 14 matches and left him far behind in captaincy as well... :)
Re: Re: sachin vs dhoni

pseudo:
ha ha ha... you never ever tire of showing your cricket ignorance do you pseudo?..:)
comparing stats of players who open the innings like gayle and sachin with somebody like dhoni who comes most of the times at no. 5 or even lower....:)
btw pseudo even coming at so low down the batting order dhoni has scored almost 350 runs with strike rate of 158. compare that with sachin who opens always yet what is his strike rate this ipl? only marginally above 100 even after he gets the enormous advantage of opening the innings. as you rightly pointed out even gayle is much much better than sachin. gayle joined the ipl late and even then has overtaken sachin in aggregate and strike rate. good observation by you, dude...:)
pseudo u know how much we all love your posts and eagerly await when you come online. your insistence on showing your cricket knowledge (or rather the lack of it) is a constant source of amusement for all of us. pseudo you never miss a single opportunity to show your (lack of)cricket knowledge and we all love your for it...:)
There are no points for the wicket keeping ! And also for the fielding There should also be points for Capataincy All these add value to the player. Eg: MS Dhoni's value increases being wicket keeper and capatain, which is not reflected in your analysis
Re: Wicket Keeper
by Against Pseudos on May 24, 2011 04:54 AM
HS Nair:
Good point. Even Sachin's value increases as the captaincy points are not reflected in the analysis.
Also, along with Wicket keeper points, a fielder's points should also be included, as Sachin saved many runs in the field and took many catches.... None of it adds up in his points....
So you are right... Dhoni and Sachin should be placed higher than Gayle and Valthaty... :)
