Gutted!!!!
Vidungappa.. It was more like the CSK vs RCB match. This time we were in the receiving end. :)
The next 4 sides that CSK is set to meet: RR,DD,KKR,KXIP. Playoff chances romba prakaasama theriyudhu... :(
Murali Vijay becomes the 5th CSK player to reach 1000 IPL run landmark. He follows Raina,Dhoni,Hayden and Badrinath.
Permutations and combinations for CSK to reach the playoffs...
1. Win the remaining 4 matches and sail comfortably.
2. Win 3 out and 4 and still go through as we have an extra point because of the rain affected match.
3. Win 2 out of 4, especially against RR and KXIP and wait for few more results in our favour. They are,
a) MI wins both their matches against RCB.
b) DC wins at least one match against KXIP out of the two matches.
c) PWI wins at least one match against RR out if the two matches.
you got to be kidding.. the remaining matches are DD, KKR, RR and KXI
hmm.. we are possibly dreaming now.. but why cant we.. one win against either KKR or DD and win against the other two.. hmm.. possible....
hmm..intha ella combinationum nadakkurathu kastam.....
but win 3 out off 4 will be the best bet.. it all depends on the confidence the team has in itself.. Raina is the key.. I do expect him to shine from now on.. Faf seems to have lost his touch... but cant replace him at this stage..
My Team
Faf/Hussey
Vijay
Raina
Bravo
Dhoni
Jadeja
Badri
Ashwin
Jakati
Kulasekara
Hilfy
Who are the indin batsman available with us who can replace Badri in the middle order? anybody worth considering?
The difficulty here is the toss up between Faf and Huss.
Mukund, Aniruddh ellam opening batsman illaya? somebody who can add firepower at the death? Vignesh... Satish, Wizzy, Ajay.. any comments on him?
I presume we dont have any good bowlers with us... :(
Sathish was with MI with 3 seasons and you know how he played. But I don't think the management will try out any new face from now on. Munnadiye pannirukkanum.
Yep.. With Vijay striking some form and trying to get some quick runs at the top I would keep him now.. We need to consider Faf's presence in the field too.. I just love this guy... Hussey is one whom I still adore.. but cant feel saying he shd repalce Faf..
But, they need to remove Albie from the playing eleven.. He is not fitting in teh team balance and the team badly needs good bowlers....
Anirudh is safe bet. Kanna moodittu suthuvaan..
hmm.. true.. Badri is not so bad actually.. he cant slog.. But to rotate the strike and to get some boundaries in between he is useful.. His strike rate is around 120+ i think and he never lost his wicket easily..
Hamid..Mukund,Anirudh already played down the order for few times....
hmm. .Havent seen Mukund playing yet..
But the first and foremost is to get two strike bowlers in the team and starting with them.. athu seyyathavaraikkum kadupputhaan varuthu CSK team management mela..
Also any comments on field settings guys?
am I the only one feeling liek this?..
whenever the opposition players hit a boundary somehow I feel there is no fielders at that position at all.. nobody even comes in the frame till the ball reaches the boundary.. :banghead: OTOH whenever we hit for a boundary, there is always fielder to catch or field.... see the number of times our players got out trying to hit sixes after the first six overs... is it some bad field setting by Dhoni or the batsman are playing too good and our batsman are not upto the mark?
Oh.. Avan inga illaya? Nalla velai.. Kaasu micham. MI understood that and they sold him out I guess.
MS has gone defensive these days. Waiting for things to happen. Sometimes he thinks like no other captain thinks. Example: Giving Jaddu that 18th over, placing Hayden exactly behind the bowler when Pollard was striking well in the 2010 final. Other times, he forgets the basics.. Kurrummbbu...
CSK is cloaking the team with too many bats for a t-20..5 quality bats are more than enough..Sudeep Tyagi won't do worse than Bravo/Morkel..ideally 4 overseas should be Faf/Huss/Bolly/Hilfy...get Huss to open with Vijay and Faf @4 and Anirudh in Badri's place but knowing Dhoni/CSK they would readily forgo anyone for Morke/Bravo :lol:
Wizzy...
Bravo has done well so far.. his batting and fielding are good... Bowling too.. but appappa full toss pottududaraan :( .... I wont mind having him in the team..
This 8 batsmen theory also makes the frontline batsmen lethargic. Namma ponaa innoruthan irukkangra dhairiyam. Else, we should score 200 every time with this 8 batsmen.
I have seen that letharginess only with Vijay.. Honestly mathavanga ellam poruppathaan aada try panraainga.. Raina wasnt able to clear the field and gets out.. also these runouts hurt us a lot... losing costly wickets.. initial 10 oversla risky runs-a avoid pannanum
Hamid, Bravo/Albie can't take the new ball hence Dhoni is stretched on the bowling front with Ashwin not at his best in the first 6 overs.. on current form Faf/Huss offer a lot more in batting than them..look around all other teams they have atleast 2 strike bowlers so an attack of Bolly/Hilfy/Tyagi/Ashwin/Jadeja/ >> Hilfy/Morkel/Bravo/Ashwin/Jadeja.
I think the number of boundaries we've scored this season is also less. Any comments?
Wizzy..
Opening Bowling Bravo/Morkel should not bowl.. 100% agree.. we need to have 2 pacers.. Hilfy and Kula was my pick [ with current form Bolly is leakign too many runs and not taking any wickets]
Faf and Hussey in the same team - not a bad idea.. though I slightly prefer Faf or Hussey and Bravo..Bravo's batting at the death will be handy in my opinion and he can be a useful bowler in the iddle overs...
But yes.. the main issue is we need two strike bowlers who can bowl in tanden in the opening overs and at death.. thats the main issue... as long as Dhoni/Fleming correct that I wont mind removing Bravo.. But Alie should be the first casualty..
Albie was Hamid Bhai's wife in his last birth I guess. Ennaa kolaveri?
and he seems your girlfriend Ajay.. Never a word wrong about him even after knowing his place in eleven cost the team dearly... :lol:
yah.. first season was our honeymoon.. if you can trace back our posts during that season I would have supported him like anything.. but after that he just screws up the team as much as he can.. remember him doing the same and we discussing regarding this during th esecond season too.. Bala(K) was active that time...
Paavam sir Avan. His bowling screws up big time. But he is a good batsman. He is allowed only 10,20 balls to face and what can he do? I remember a match in which he was sent second drop after the wicket of Hayden and Raina. He cracked a quickfire 70 and helped CSK reach 240+. That is his place. He can be dropped if you are not going to play him upfront.
Ajay :shock: ivvalo paasama :|
antha kaalathula avanukku naanumthaan jaameen koduthennu solreene.. wat is his contribution this time? Hayden was in ominous form in the first season.. aana athukaka avana vachikitte irukka mudiyuma Ajay?
The last two matches were best suited for him right ?what has he done Ajay? sending him at no.4 ellam verum kanavuthaane. He is not fit in the playing eleven and cost the balance of the team.. he might be a sokka thangam.. but teamla athukkaka ellam vachikka mudiyaathu..especially being a foreigner... his opening bowling releaes any sort of pressure we get from other end too..
Badriyaiye edukkalaamnu pesittu irukkom.. avan mela illatha paasama? illa ivan avana vidava paavam?

Amazing scenes at our CSK function, an awards ceremony for Gulf Oil! Best Financial discipline for 2011/12 award went to @albiemorkel
Hamid, Kula is also good but he is way too similar to Morkel/Bravo in pace and is suited more for slow/low tracks..on a track with some carry Bolly over him any day...remember Bolly bowled a excellent penultimate over against PWI with Smith/Angelo taking strike..if it wasn't for him CSK would have lost that match too.
