Wish IPL avoids keeping crucial matches at Eden. Such a third rated(highly overrated) ground especially during finals. Look at the score board of both the teams! 20/20 matches should be held at locations which help both batting and bowling.

Wish IPL avoids keeping crucial matches at Eden. Such a third rated(highly overrated) ground especially during finals. Look at the score board of both the teams! 20/20 matches should be held at locations which help both batting and bowling.
but it depends on the defending champion's venue... Last year, KKR was the champion, so the qualifier-2 / final should happen in Eden..
Congratulations to Mumbai Indians on winning their maiden IPL title. If there was one team capable of challenging CSK, it should be MI and they clearly outsmarted us thrice this season. Also, it is Bette to lose to a team with genuine matchwinners than going down to teams with 'Swing at everything' Bislas.
MSD's decision to come late was a tactical blunder. He could've come after Badri's dismissal. And either of Morkel or Jaddu should've stayed put, allowing MS to play his shots. But everything is easier said than done and I could understand how much turmoil the CSK players would've been going through the last few days. Hope all this mess is cleared and the same team is seen in CLT20. Cant think of an IPL without CSK.
Congratulations MI ..Happy for Sir :clap: and good bye too wise decision.
Dhoni :bow: great innings, nevertheless!
Last but not least salute to Srinivasan for his guts in the presentation party yesterday though North Indian porukki medias spreading speculation as if it is factual and proved. Inga vera oruthar gagnam dance aaduraar and posting that CSK players are corrupted. If CSK players are very much stained how they have such a great winning percentage? And if it is anything about lawful first ask the bloody womanizer and the owner of big saaraya factories to come out clean in all ways with respect to their innocent employee’s disputes.
Easily CSK is the best IPL team so far. Period!!
Yaar jeichalum thothaalum this year Indian cricket/fan has been the loser. That is an undeniable fact. I am glad that Tendulkar called it a day in IPL. It was a surprise for me but glad that he took the decision.
Congrats Master, Stan :noteeth: ,Sachin/MI fans and CSK haters. Congrats to North India media and commentators.
Poor shots from Vijay and Jaddu hmmm thirunthavae maatingala. Happy that Dhoni played well and Sachin got the trophy.
As usual few from MI team were kadukerlapified in the last over.
Hope CSK can retain the core group for next season. At the worst case I want Dhoni and Raina in the team. Illaena IPL ku muzhukku thaan.
Ajay, Team owner thappu pannunathuku (that too betting) team enna pannum. This is the time they need our support. Neengalam poita eppdi :twsited: ..
As Sachin has retired from IPL expecting the rivalry to come down in Chennai town .. Master adutha varusham manja kodi thaana ??
Happy for SRT. And have to agree that he's timed his retirement in IPL perfectly. Hope he continues playing tests. Looking forward to the South African series. This IPL's been one of the worst for obvious reasons. Hopefully truth prevails and we get to see some quality cricket in the next edition.

oh Sagin Tendulkar's announcement No surprise there lol !!as usual He couldn't wait to declare his retirement even for a day. He had to do it before MI could lift that cup, it was like throwing cold water at mumbai fans rite before the party. What a thoughtful gesture from an experienced mastered RT blaster.
I am seeing an age old issue with my dear brothers from chennai. Just this year when their own media was reluctant to cover an issue like vishwaroopam. They were praising north media for being the fore front of the whole controversy. Now same people are accusing media of hounding srini mama !!
lets hope things gets resolved soon. Don't worry we know the Indian law enforcement mentality it should be over in another 2 weeks or so. For all that we know it could be a shit storm initiated by Ambani amma and fat boy rite before the big game. If you look at the sequence of events, atleast from what I can see this whole issue started rite after the day MI lost their first qualifier, some might call it "coincidence" not me.
Dilbert one more conspiracy angle !! nee thirunda mattada :oops:
Yesterday when Karthik started celebrating the victory at the completion of penultimate over, skipper rohit kept his finger crossed and asked Karthik to keep quite till the last ball delivered. When this incident got explained by Sanjay makku, our Sivaraman responded "This is what the difference between a Tamil Nadu player and Mumbai player"

Its Times Now, you should see the way Arnab is handling this particular debate. OMFG!! He jumps on the people, I mean literally if they are on the favor of BCCI..On one particular instance he even said " You first listen what I say..." with fingers raised. This is not debate but a clean propaganda against Srinivasan. Srini might be a bad man but till now thing is proved. So lets leave this as it is.Quote:

Neengea vera Venki !! Indian fans just can't see their gods on camera answering questions about betting or fixing. It will disturb their tranquility. Instead if they see a youtube video after 20 years of a bookie or a official claiming gods knew about the matches being fixed and single handedly defended the fort with their shiny armour will give them the much needed solace.
India is no where close to International standards when it comes to sports investigation. And it will never will be especially in cricket until BCCI is not under Indian govt. A bunch of corrupt old hogs running the house with lame and out dated rules and regulation is a telling sign of things to come. If Indian cricket fans truly want to see some change, then they should boycott the cricket all together for a brief period. Till these guys understand that they can't play with fans emotions by keeping few glossy poster boys. When the whole system is decaying from inside.
Just give you guys an recent example :
They way US sports authorities handled Penn state , this is one of the oldest (estd 1888) and most successful college football program in the country. Because of 1 assistant coach's involvement in a child abuse scandal.the NCAA fined Penn State $60 million, vacated Paterno's (was the most successful football coach of all time) 111 wins between 1998–2011 and banned the team from bowl games for four years.Some estimate College / city's economy would take a hit of some 350 million because of this decision. But they went a ahead.
Do you guys think BCCI will let go that kind of Money for the sake of cricket ?

IPL controversy: Top BCCI office-bearers Ajay Shirke and Sanjay Jagdale resign
Mr Shirke on Wednesday had called for BCCI president N Srinivasan's resignation on moral grounds. Yesterday, he had said, "If the board continues to ignore what I consider is primary responsibility, I will find it difficult for myself to be associated with it."
BCCI Joint Secretary Anurag Thakur said today that he had sought a Special General Meeting of the Board, where he and other members would "speak their minds."The BCCI has called an emergency meeting on Saturday, June 8. Twenty four of the 30 full members of the board are expected to be at the meeting. These include the representatives of state boards like Arun Jaitley and Jyotiraditya Scindia who want N Srinivasan to quit because his son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, has been arrested on charges of betting.
The meeting is likely to be stormy and Mr Srinivasan, who has refused to quit, is likely to face many questions. Among them some on today's allegation by Mumbai Police sources that they have phone records of a conversation between Mr Meiyappan and actor Vindu Dara Singh, where the former allegedly said he had been warned by the ICC or International Cricket Council, to be careful of the company he was keeping. Vindu is under arrest too.
Police sources said Mr Meiyappan was allegedly warned just when the IPL began. Questions are now being raised on whether Mr Srinivasan knew about the alleged warning, since he is an ICC director. On Friday evening too, Mr Srinivasan flatly denied any knowledge of the alleged ICC warning to Mr Meiyappan. And said once more that, "I am not resigning."BCCI sources said that a working committee meeting cannot vote out the board president, who is an elected functionary. But a working committee can, at its meeting, ask for a special Annual General Meeting or AGM to be called, where he can be voted out. Mr Srinivasan's term as president ends in September, when the next AGM is scheduled.
Siddharth Trivedi, a Rajasthan Royals bowler, on Friday deposed as a prosecution witness in the IPL spot-fixing case being probed by the Delhi Police, sources said. He recorded his statements in a Delhi court today. Trivedi reportedly told the police that the bookies were in touch with his arrested colleague Ajit Chandila and some others who used to party together and that some foreign cricketers used to attend these parties. (Read)
Sachin Tendulkar today spoke for the first time on the IPL spot-fixing scandal and said that it "hurts when the game of cricket is in the news for the wrong reasons. The developments in the last two weeks have been shocking and disappointing." (IPL spot-fixing: Full coverage)The Tamil Nadu Police today raided two hotels of Vikram Aggarwal, who was summoned for questioning in the IPL betting case. Mr Aggarwal today reached the Mumbai Police's Crime Branch office. He had been asked to surrender before the Tamil Nadu Police on Thursday but he missed the deadline. His plea for anticipatory bail was rejected by the Madras High Court. Police allege Mr Aggarwal was active in betting circles and that he introduced Vindu to Mr Meiyappan.Cricketer Ankeet Chavan was granted conditional bail till June 6 for his wedding by a Delhi Court on Thursday. Chavan had sought bail on the ground that his marriage is fixed for June 2.

Rajeev Shukla quits as IPL chief as Srinivasan's exit from BCCI looms
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketne...395550-78.html
New Delhi: Rajeev Shukla on Saturday resigned from his post of IPL Chairman, days after the IPL betting and spot-fixing scandal broke out and just ahead of the critical BCCI Working Committee meeting that may see the ouster of the cricketing body's chief N Srinivasan.
Shukla, who still remains the BCCI vice president, said he made the decision to quit in the "view of recent controversies". "It is a decision which I was pondering over for some time. I think it is time to step down," Shukla said.
He also took into account the resignations of BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale and treasurer Ajay Shirke before taking the decision to step down. "Sanjay Jagdale and Ajay Shirke resigned in the best interest of Indian cricket. I thought this is the right time," he said.
The resignation of Shukla comes as a severe setback to the incumbent president Srinivasan who has already been isolated by his team of officials, two of whom -- Secretary Jagdale and Treasurer Shirke -- have already quit.
But the beleaguered 68-year-old chief of the cricketing body is not ready to go down without a fight and he has set pre-conditions for his resignation. Srinivasan wants to fill in the posts of BCCI secretary and treasurer, vacated by Sanjay Jagdale and Ajay Shirke on Saturday night, with the people he chooses. He also wants to be a representative in the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Sources have said there are two factions within the BCCI. While one faction wants a compromise exit for Srinivasan and is in favour of him stepping aside till the probe into the IPL betting and spot-fixing scandals and against his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan is over, the other faction wants him to quit on Sunday after the meeting.
BCCI Working Committee Joint Secretary Anurag Thakur said that a number of issues would be discussed during the meeting. "I discussed with the President, I have given notice for meeting and it will be held tomorrow in Chennai. We are going to discuss a lot of issues. I think it is to early to discuss it in the media (on interim president) but as I said we will discuss number of the issues - to clean the image whatever steps are required will be taken by BCCI. There will be transparency and fair probe. There will be no conflict of interest," said Thakur.
Srinivasan will be told clearly by the members that his position was "untenable" under the circumstances and it would be in the interest of Indian cricket that he stepped down on moral grounds, PTI reported. If he continued to remain adamant, most of the Board officials will then to quit and create a constitutional crisis within the Board, leaving him with no option but to step down.
The working committee has 24 members and it has been largely summoned to gauge the mood which was heavily against Srinivasan. Now with both Secretary Jagdale and Treasurer Shirke gone, it will be a 22-member forum as both Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) and Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) are not part of current working committee.
Meanwhile, the name of former BCCI chief Shashank Manohar, a non-controversial figure whom Srinivasan had succeeded two years ago, is doing the rounds as the interim president but it remains to be seen if that actually happens since he is not part of any affiliated body right now. Shivlal Yadav, the Vice-President from South, is also seen as a possible candidate.

Srinivasan likely to step down as BCCI chief today: sources
http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/sr...-lateststories
New Delhi: N Srinivasan in all likelihood will step down as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in today's emergency meeting, according to sources. After Rajeev Shukla quit as the chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL) yesterday, Mr Srinivasan is reportedly left with little choice but to step down in the wake of the crisis that has engulfed Indian cricket with allegations of spot-fixing and betting in this year's edition IPL, which ended last Sunday.
However, the BCCI chief, an elected functionary, has some demands of his own, sources said. He reportedly wants an assurance that he will be reinstated as the board's president once his name is cleared in the ongoing controversy. Till that time, Mr Srinivasan reportedly wants a "credible face" to replace him as the interim president. Shashank Manohar, his predecessor as BCCI boss, is reportedly the frontrunner to take charge should Mr Srinivasan quit. BCCI vice-president Niranjan Shah is also a candidate for the president's post, according to sources. (Read: Full coverage)
Mr Srinivasan also reportedly wants a re-election to fill the two posts made vacant on Friday when Ajay Shirke resigned as Treasurer and Sanjay Jagdale quit as secretary of the board to pressure the president. Sources say that he doesn't want those who resigned as office-bearers to return to the BCCI fold. Mr Srinivasan also reportedly wants to continue as a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC). According to sources, some BCCI members are opposed to that.
Sources say Arun Jaitley, Anurag Thakur, former BCCI chief Jagmohan Dalmiya, Anil Kumble, Niranjan Shah, and Rajeev Shukla will be a part of today's meeting. Mr Jagdale and Mr Shirke were also invited to today's meeting as special invitees. Mr Jagdale, however, has refused to attend.
"I don't want to go. There are many accomplished persons on the board who can deal with the crisis and take Indian cricket to new heights," he said today.
Mr Jagdale and Mr Shirke resigned on Friday, a few hours after Mumbai Police sources said that Mr Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was warned by the ICC about the 'company' he was keeping. (Read)
Mr Meiyappan was the Team Principal of the Chennai Super Kings, which made him a crucial member of the franchise's management. He was arrested on May 24 on charges of gambling, cheating, and conspiracy.
Mr Srinivasan has said that if his son-in-law was placing bets, he was not aware of this.
The working committee does not have voting rights to remove Mr Srinivasan. For that to happen, a Special General Meeting of the full board will have to be convened, and three-fourths of the entire board of 30 will have to vote against him.
But that may be unnecessary - with the high-decibel campaign for his removal now peaking, the chief may have no option but to resign.
oh my Mamma's Reverse Sweep :shock: - Blood Bloodu DNA !!

MS Dhoni is not a shareholder of the company, clarifies Rhiti Sports
New Delhi: After a report in the Economic Times that said Team India captain MS Dhoni owns a 5 per cent stake in a sports marketing firm - Rhiti Sports - that manages him and four other current cricketers, the firm issued a statement on Monday in which it denied Dhoni is a shareholder of the company.
Rhiti said Dhoni has no shares as on April 26. It said it did transfer 1.5 lakh shares on March 22 (tirunelveli halwa) , but that was only to secure an outstanding amount it owed to the cricketer. Papers with CNN-IBN confirm the share allotment was done on March 22.
It further said it cleared the payment in April 2013 following which the shares were transferred back to the company.
If Dhoni does hold a stake in the company, it puts him in a conflicting position during team selection meetings, where he is expected to share opinions on performances and strategy.
Another conflict of interest rising on his captaincy of the IPL team Chennai Super Kings is that Rhiti Sports markets CSK, which is why perhaps Dhoni has remained silent on the alleged spot-fixing and betting charges against arrested team principal Meiyappan.
Now that RR's owner has confessed that he did involve in betting, where is all the intensity gone from the media ?
There was not a single debate about this in any national channel. Arnab was discussing something about Rajnath Singh. RR players have been caught spot fixing and owner for betting. Not a single noise. Shameless idiots.

Atleast give him some credit , he was man enough in admitting his wrong doing and He also accepted he was Part Owner . Unlike some low lives, Kamnattis who have audacity to show us middle finger after screwing cricket fans over (*exclude the ones sitting on moral horse on St. thomas Mountain).
Ban tainted teams for 5 years or Ban the whole damn tournament.
