I think RCB should Drop Dilshan and make Mayank open with Gayle and also drop Pathan and get back Tiwary. Play both Vettori and Murali.

 

Mayank is actually very good..He either hits or gets out quick..Does'nt waste balls..

Tiwary will be back in..I think they should also give Pujara another chance..

 

Our big problem is Kohli aint performing...So I dont think they'll take a risk of dropping Dilshan n picking Vettori...

 

Talking of replacements, why the FUK aren't KKR playing Eoin Morgan, such a waste of talent. PWI can also give tamim a chance.

 

They should either drop Mccullum or Kallis and play Morgan..RCB should'nt have let Morgan go in the 1st place :(

Morgan under performed when ever he played for us, plus i think we don't have place in 11 for him right now, not sure about next season that which players would be available.

who would he replace the only person he can replace is Mccullum and then they need a wicket keeper. I think KKR is pretty well balanced they have won so many matches without Aalo bomb firing, just imagine if he fires too.

 

KKR is winning only coz of Gambhir..Other than him no1 in the team are actually performing..Kallis strike rate this season is 96..Worst than any other batsman..

Yusuf , Tiwary , Mccullum are yet to fire..

Also they have Bisla as a keeper...Morgan also keeps wickets BTW..So i think they play Morgan instead of Brendon...

 

Without KP Delhi is also looking Vulnerable..No decent spin bowlers other than Nadeem..

Mahela and Rossco are yet to strike form..

morgan hardly got any chance in RCB..

We had KP , White , Kallis in the batting order then...

Morgan is a far better batsman now..

 

We need some good Indian players :(

Specially bowling..Batting is decent with Gayle , AB , kohli , Mayank and Tiwari..

But bowling is very bad..Except Zak and Vettori /Murali..

Looking at the stats I think this is the best IPL of all seasons... and I haven't witnessed a single match in a stadium.. (*Curses Onsite*).

So many nail biting finishes, pressure,tension,excitement,fun......

 

Of the 17 nail-biting games, the chasing team won 14 while the fielding side held its nerve to clinch three, with the opponents falling short by less than six runs.

 

Close Encounters

 

Season Won by 6 runs or less Won in last over Total

 

IPL 5 --> 17 Matches (Still 30+ matches to go) [ Not counted that Devon Smith's carnage]

 

IPL 4 --> 1 (The worst IPL. This is the time when people thought they had enough of IPLs, and it should be stopped.. no excitement)

 

IPL 3 --> 13

 

IPL 2 --> 17 (The Best IPL in its time and on a foreign soil)

 

IPL 1 --> 12

 

 

The only other season that came close to matching the excitement of IPL 5 was IPL 2, played in South Africa in 2009. That season, too, threw up 17 close games. This edition has already matched that figure, with 30 matches still to go. The first IPL had 12 such games, while the third saw 13.

 

Team Punjab has played the most number of close matches, being involved in five of the 17 such games. Even across all IPLs, Punjab has provided the maximum number of close finishes, featuring in 23 of the 60 such matches (till May 3). By this benchmark, Punjab can be called the most "exciting" IPL team.

 

In terms of close finishes, IPL 4 was the most boring. In only one of the 74 matches did the team batting second reach the target in the last over-Punjab chased 189 runs posted by Chennai with less than an over to spare.

 

For a team batting first, the narrowest winning margin was nine runs when Hyderabad lost to Kolkata despite a last-ball six hit by Amit Mishra.

 

Of the 23 close matches played by Punjab, they won 14 of these contests while losing nine. Ten of these close matches were won by three or less runs, or with three or less number of balls to spare.

 

If one discounts Pune Warriors (because it entered the league only last year), Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils can be called the most boring teams - by the same close-finish yardstick.

 

Rajasthan has featured in just nine such games, winning four and losing five. Delhi has just one more close match against its name, having won five and lost an equal number. The other teams, apart from Punjab, have a nearly similar record with each being involved in 14 to 16 such games.

 

Even in this year's IPL, Punjab emerges as the top team in terms of close matches. The Mohali-based franchise has been involved in five of the 17 such matches played this season. Delhi, Hyderabad and Pune have played three such matches while the rest have had four close encounters each so far.

PWI needs to get out that man with a walking stick and inhaler in hand, they are literally playing as a 10 man team.

more like 9 man, coz apart from a single player loss to PWI team, the opposing team also gets another player for free :P

Damn. Now CSKs chances of making the playoffs look quite bleak. Tough upcoming games against DD and KKR. Crap!!..

 

Never count CSK out of the competition. Apart from 2011, they were like this in the previous editions and they made it to last four.

 

I hope CSK don't make it to the playoffs.I hate them so much don't know why.

 

Many people don't know why they hate CSK. You are also one of them

i also don't like csk.. But i know the reason :P Primary reason being that whoever does well in that side dhoni pushes him to the Indian team and wen he fails he stubbornly keeps on backing him.. Thats why I pray that csk doesn't do well ..

Example- jadeja .. We lost the the t20 world cup cause of his awesome bowling

True he keeps giving chances to raina and jadeja while keeping players like rahane and irfan on bench.
