I think Tare is not significantly better than Rayudu so might as well get another all rounder - Mclaren has been decent with the ball. Think he should be there.
At no cost should Fernando be there - he is the Sri Lankan Agarkar. How many times I have seen him melt down under pressure and provide buffet bowling? As many times as Sachin has centuries in First class cricket.
Heck, against KKR, with no pressure he leaked the other day.
Gunaa kamal: Fernando vENAm adhu asingam...
From Orkut: :shock: : :shaking:
"From the last two seasons the team which have orange cap holder is losing in semis"
So Mumbai will lose the match.
If this is true for the last 2 seasons, hope MI breaks this jinx.
Oh and purple cap holder's teams are always winners. Anegam mumbaikku indha varushamum mazhai kedayaadhu :(
As I have been saying (IPL 08, 09), the team which tops the league table with a significant margin is the real winner in my books. For such a long tournament, a one-off Semifinal/Final does not make any sense. But I would definitely love to see Sachin lifting that trophy and with that Sachin should bid adieu to this disgusting tournament.
Me too wishing for the same. Sachin should lift the trophy and quit tonty tonty (All forms).Quote:

Fernando leaked runs in the all-important 2nd leg match against RR in 2008. RR were 77/5 at one stage and at the last over he bowled wides and dropped a catch.Quote:

Tare - neeyellam specialist wkt keeper-a? Rayudu-ve paravalla pola... extra pora antha 10+ runs rayuduvale pogattum...
fernando - hmmm... i still feel he is a wkt taking bowler... his slow balls r very difficult to pick... (no change in action) particularly aggressive batsmen who try to play big shots will play it early, and get out...warner and viru had completely mis-timed his slower ones in 2nd leg match.
in kkr match,
Ryan McLaren 3 0 26 0
Dilhara Fernando 3 0 31 0
Mccullum-ku potta beamer-la antha 5 runs extra poccchu avlo than... :P anyway, mclaren/fernando yaara irunthalum ok...
Dhawan
Sachin
Rayudu
Duminy
Tiwary

Mclaren/Fernando

Me too prefer Fernando to McLaren. He bowled much better in other two matches and took key wickets. What are the choices we have other than these two :?Quote:
