"Champion of Champions" Chennai Super Kings

sathish..

CSK is the team that should be least bothered about inflated price.

We got Dhoni for 1.5 ..raina for 1.25 Just imagine how much these guys would really cost in teh bid.

Except Badri we purched for right prices.

an Ashwin along with Murali aint my cup of tea - again whatever we write is their own opinion - wud have preferred Ojha/Vettori/M Kartik or someone else.. and that too for above 1 M - glad atleast CSK didnt lose their mind there

---

pastaa?..pona varushamnga!!!

its just last year where murali contributed immensely to the teams victory by his tight bowling and he looks fit to carry on for another 3 years

Agreed again but my point is, we made it so obvious we wanted to buy him that Kochi and other teams just went for him for the sake of it..

Kemar Roach - useful pacer - but with Bollinger picked not sure if CSK wud go for him
Murali Kartik (India) - surprisingly unsold - with Ashwin in our team, Murali turning away from the right hander wud be perfect
Phillip Hughes - if not Gibbs, we can go for him for opener
Shaun Tait - he can be intimidating, however might break down any day.. but prefer him than bollinger! but too late..

---

giibs as opener - sutham!! he didnt do too bad for RCB

roach - avan edhukku? with bollinger picked not needed, yes

hughes aa?? - we shud have picked warner, need someone to attack at the beginning

shaun tait??

endru thaniyum indha velinaatu mOgam? :lol: ennamo naan en veetukku ponnu thedraapla solreenga.. most of our players are already taken.. Manish Pandey wud be perfect, but he is not in auction which means financial powerhouses like MI or DC or RCB wud get him paying all black money :P

murali karthi - if he is fit..is much better bowler than even ojha...lets see..

Badri as a backup if our batting fails?! come on there are much better batsmen in the auction they cud have gone for - one plus is Badri's fielding though

---

like whom?

---

quite a lot - At the least i'd have preferred a Dinesh Karthik over Badri - almost same price!

---

yea, exactly.......

in case of chasing 9+ RPO, i dont think anyone apart from Raina is capable of hitting......they really needed that young fresh blood from australia or England or SA to pep things up........i would have taken these guys as 5th foreign player and maybe instead of Dwayne Bravo also..........i think Dhoni and Flemming's penchant for bits-and-pieces sealed these deals........Flemming who is used to managing only lesser talents during NZ stint is a major factor......

On Muralidaran's case - they were really genuine..they seemed like they really needed murali on board.

Badrinath - yep!..its possible that its a fake bid.

Obbjection your honour, DK has been miserable this season, to say the least. May be he'll come back to form but Badri is already in great form so why miss out. Only problem though is the inflated price

---

he is a much better player in T20 than Badri

same here - i think he performed only in 3-4 matches in entire IPL2, 3 and CL and his performance hardly bettered Ashwin's......
