[Jaap]

Kolkata should clinch it.

 

[Kolya]

Its hard to say, depends on how well each team works with each other.

Should be very exciting and mixed results IMO.

 

[mediter]

There is not one test playing country from continental europe.

I have seen more games of cricket than you have had hot dinners my friend.

Squads have been posted

 

[bad gambler]

Come on you Chennai Superkings!!!

Agree with Jaap though, Kolkata look the goods with the squad they have on paper.

Isn't cricket the same as croquet?

 

[chris.chan92]

Hope Shane Warne and his Rajasthan Royals win

 

[bad gambler]

Hope Shane Warne and his Rajasthan Royals

That team looks like a retirement congregation as opposed to a cricket team.

 

[chris.chan92]

Good point

 

[Action Jackson]

Big Chris Gayle, he will love the flat wickets with no bounce. He and McCullum at the top of the order could be a very interesting opening pair.

 

[chris.chan92]

IPL 1st match
Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders
at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore (12.30 am) AEST

Should be an interesting clash

 

[wenty]

Go Mumbai and Bangalore!

 

[Jaap]

1st match and already a 100 scored by Brendon Mccullum. Massive hitting.

 

[Jaap]

I told ya fellas, this Kolkata are good.

Gayle still to come back into the team as well.

 

[chris.chan92]

Kolkata Knight Riders 222 for 3 (McCullum 158*) beat Bangalore Royal Challengers 82 for 10 (Agarkar 3-25) by 140 runs

 

[bad gambler]

If Akhtar gets into match fitness as well knight riders will be lethal

Shahrukh Khan looked like a damn fool every time the camera was on him.

 

[Action Jackson]

That's a fucking hiding. I am sorry for being the master of the obvious.

They should play some of these games in the Himalayas. Imagine a six there, it would end up in Bhutan.

 

[wenty]

Jeez McCullum went ballistic No worries Bangalore :hug:
