Truth, Gilchrist should be captain. Symonds last over was pathetic, I think the Royals needed 17 runs off it and Warnie dominated him.

[namembal]

Yeah with an over to spare.

I also have a good feeling about the Rajasthan Royals now.

[TheFury]

Apart from their first game they've been playing good cricket. Are the games at least on at a decent time where you live?

[namembal]

Yeah, I'm in India. I reckon for you guys in the southern hemisphere it must suck haha.

[TheFury]

Haha, yes it does. I can never be bothered staying up to watch a whole match. The network that it's on payed 10-15 million over 5 years for the rights, yet it's on at a ridiculous time when any normal person is asleep.

[namembal]

Lol, I guess. Even 4pm (IST) starts must start around 9 or 10pm there isn't it?

Mumbai got thrashed today.

Something like that. The last match finishes around 4-5 in the morning though I think.

Tell me about it. It was about time Gilchrist made some runs. If him and Symonds performed every match they would be almost unstoppable.

Apart from a plethora of reasons .. yes.

Haha crap.

Sad Symmo is going back to Australia and then off to the carribean and so are hayden, katich and huss.

[TheFury]

They are, aren't they playing the whole IPL?

Katich, Lee, Symonds, Hussey, Hayden are off to Australia and Ponting will leave after todays game .. Even the kiwis are off in a couple of days to England for their tour there.

Pretty sure David Hussey might play the whole IPL because he's chosen only for the ODI series in the West Indies.

[TheFury]

I didn't realize so many people were going back to Australia. They get paid this huge amount of money and they hardly have to do anything. Still not much compared to what US sports stars get though.

Don't think David Hussey has played a ODI for Australia yet, so he'll probably play the whole IPL. He was been playing pretty good for the Victorian Bushrangers before that, he might get selected.

[namembal]

Yeah $5.4mn for Symonds for 4 games! Ridiculous.

Yeah I don't think he has either ..

[alice+interiors]

5.4 million!
woah.

[kaycey]

mumbai indians thrashed the unbeaten , until now that is kolkata night riders.
so all bhaji had to do was slap sreesanth , wish he'd done it sooner .
