Chokers no more...

The Kardiac Kids win.. By 9 runs... After being behind the 8 ball for most of the game.

10 matches to go. 10 matches to win.

Easy doozy!

homer,

yeah, 10 to go and 10 to win, and MI will do it! Unless, the kardiac kids(great tag, that) decide to give us fans a cardiac arrest!

cheers!

Ankit,

The original kardiac kids were the cleveland browns ( yay!)... But unlike them, I hope the Indians can go all the way

Cheers,

Batting strategy when opening patnership fails is still suspect.Whats the need to send Harbhajan at No.3 ?

And now Boucher does a Haddin.

RGB,

The King Sanga dismissal? Need to see the replays.

And agree about Harbhajan.. Rahane at 3 and Bhajji/Tiwary as floater.

Yes Sangakkara's dismissal. It was surprising none of the commentators discussed it.

Agree about Rahane. He is a regular
No.3 batsman.And today with nearly 17 overs remaining he should have come in at No.3.

Well, with SP. Not so fast, Homer.
The Aussies(Gilly and Warne) might end up with the last laugh - just like last time. I am going to fully support them - DC and RR :-)

Anyway, Bhajji at #3 against KKR was a surprise and therefore, acceptable and succesful. To make that regular is simply pandering to Bhajan's massive ego. I dont know why Sachin's judgement fails him when it comes to Harbhajan and Agarkar. He continues to promote Agarkar's cause even when AA is in the opposition :-). I mean, giving a wicket to a typical Agarkar filth delivery - Seriously, what compromisng pictures of SCG and SRT does Agarkar have? They promoted him out of the way during their captaincy stints - but then, even after SCG is deposed, AA continues to find a place in KKR XI - seriously, what extra-curricular talent does this man possess that he can ingratiate himself to any management and get himself opps despite bad performances? Something fishy.
On top of it, Tendulkar needlessly gives him his wicket.
P.S: Part of this comment is serious, part is joke(Tendulkar promoting Agarkar's cause by giving wicket) so dont get incensed anyone.

I mean, Agarkar and Dinda were part of a XI in a match, and Dinda didnt get a over. Seriously, Agarkar sure knows how to 'please' captains, eh?

"Easy doozy"?

Is there a virtual way to represent the raising of one eyebrow and the downward pull of one side of the mouth in an expression of careful disbelief?

In other words: Seriously, Homer?

Sp,

Actually, not fast enough.. I should have made the call when the tournament began :)

homer, but seriously what do you think of Agarkar? How does he get into natl and ipl teams? What does he do? Becuase he surely doesnt take enough wickets or enough runs. What do captains see in him? I mean you give 2-3 overs to Agarkar and none to Dinda at all in a match? Whats happening here? its a mystery that has been bugging me for years? Why do captains find Agarkar so irresistible?
