Woah! i think Punjab just proved that rajasthan royals are absolutely NOTHING without shane warne and tanvir its quite a shame really because almost all punjab players so far have made a half century and marsh just made a century 😆 even the out of form yuvraj was able to make a half century, now that HAS to be saying something about rajasthan bowling attack 😛
I am no fan of the Punjab team but the quality they do have that only a few teams have is the teamwork-only some teams like Punjab, Mumbai and Delhi have that, I fail to see that in any other team. Absolutely no point depending on two people, that shows the team is simply zero without you and rajasthan are finally showing their weak side 😊
I don't support any team but if I had to, then erm maybe Delhi because only Sehwag and gambhir can provide PURE entertainment like that in cricket. Its a shame that according to statistics, majority of indian players have performed way better than overseas players, only a few have actually done very well such as bravo the allrounder, marsh an allrounder and a few more but thats it really. Sachin had been out for 5 months and still managed almost 2 half centuries but misbah ul haq has barely performed along with players like afridi, gilchrist and more!
I think this tournament is popular but its hard to support just one team but I think Delhi is an allround performing team and mumbai would have been too if the middle order would have performed a little bit more.May the best win.
i think u missed out on quite a lot of ipl matches i mean the whole world is litrally falling short of praises for RR and u reduce it to a zilch status on yesterday's game??
the most beautyful thing about rajasthan has bene the one single fact that it DOES NOT depend on ANY single playerrr unlike teams like Delhi who i wld love ot say r nothing at all if their openers are bowlled out in the first 12 delliveries....i respect my team only becoz it has produced a virtual hero at the end of every match it has played....i mean the impossible victory over MI was the outcome of the confidence and self belief of two local indian players niraj patel and jadeja whose strenght of mind even caused biggies like fernando and surya to faulter....and well not just this game ther r many many more examples where some or the other player has bailled us out...against Dd it was watson against KKR it was pathan and kaify...and so many more examples
you analysing RR's performance on yesterday's match na and u talking of warney and tanvir did u realize by them not being there we missed out on 8 overs and 48 balls and these guys made a hundred added run on those 48 balls how cna u expect inexperianced players like Sid trivedi and Jadeja and Patel and pankaj and dinesh to ball and bat damm well ALWAYS? and besides the two bowllers even Smithy and Asnodker weren't there which impacted on our batting line up as well but still we fought out so damm welll we reached the mark of 180 and imagine had warney and tanvir been there the kings wldn't hav ever crossed 140 we wld hav won the game straight away....
but sitll i stand by warney he perhaps is the only one who has encouraged young indian tallent so awesomely and has insitlled a fire in them a fire to perform to their utmos and to prove themselves not just to the world but to their ownselves that yes they r the best...they do not need to be backed by a celeb or they do not need loads of green notes to motivate them to perform well that motivaiton comes form within them under the supreme leadership of warney
As for punjab i agree yuvraj singh is one man whose way too full of himself but its high time he realizes that even his team is actually nothing without the aussy bakc upp be it Marsh or Hopes or Luke....
i don't know whats in store ahead in the semis but i know whatever be the consequences whatever be the result i stand by Rr hands down for me they are the winners of this tournament already
and as for the teams after RR Mi was my choice coz of saaachin obviouslyyyyyyyyyy but respect for pollock and surya has grown ten times more after watching their brilliance in the series
