And the winner is......... (Multiple choice accepted)

[meetdilip]

Who will lift the trophy?

Chennai Super Kings.

[gothic_coder]

I think there's no need to start this thread when manish has already started Here... We should wait for mods to merge the poll in that thread only..

[meetdilip]

Just tried how we can change the poll options. No offense meant.

[Dragon]

That's fine, but why have you allowed Multiple choices??

[meetdilip]

Many have second favourites. Let us rank 1 - 8.

[just4kix]

But you cannot rank then 1 to 8 via multiple choice.

I have a feeling that DD or CSK will win this time. Both have the arsenal, at least on paper (but look what happened last time).

[rupu1983]

That's fine, but why have you allowed Multiple choices??

because still we don't know the exact future of 8 teams.
So diplomatic person can pole all team also.

I think Delhi daredevil & Chennai Super king has great chance to win the IPL also i think this year Hyderabad Deccan Chargers & Mumbai Indians also have good team so they can also be called as 'dark horse' of this IPL.
May be SRk's Kolkata Knight Rider ( :24: ) will be the 8th in this IPL.

[Rameshjeee]

Delhi Daredevils, CSK, Mumbai Indians & Deccan Chargers - These are my picks for the semis. After that its any body's game.

Reason for my pick:

Mumbai Indians:
This is the most balanced side of all. They have a got a great combination of bowlers & batsman. Sachin, Sanath, JP Duminy, Malinga, Harbhanjan, Khan & do not forget A Nayar. They form a very good team.

Delhi Daredevils:
They have got the most dangerous batting line up. Sehwag, Gambir, Warner & AB Devillers. Even their bowling attack looks good with Vettori & McGrath.

Chennai Super Kings:
Even they have a pretty balanced side with Hayden Dhoni, Raina, Muralidharan, Ntini & A Morkel. Flintof will not be available for the latter stage of the tournament.

Deccan Chargers:
Key players: Gilly, Gibbs, Rohit Sharma, RP Snigh, Ohja, Styris.

I do not see Rajasthan Royals nor Kings XI Punjab or KKR or Bangalore entering in to the semis.

Rajasthan Royals:
Apart from Warne, G Smith & Yusuf Patan...3 players can't win a game. Its a team game. They are badly missing Tanvir & Watson.

Kings XI Punjab:
Their batting looks ok. But their bowling is very weak. They surely miss B Lee.

KKR:
Chris Gayle will be departing soon for the England tour. So batting their looks a bit weak & neither their bowling is strong.

Bangalore RC: If feel they are the dark horse. With the likes of Ryder, Steyn, Kallis, Taylor (not sure about this guy's form)...this will be a team to watch.

[just4kix]

Good reasoning, jee.

My SF line up is: Mumbai Indians, Chennai Superkings, Delhi Daredevils and possible choice between Deccan Chargers or Kings XI Punjab

[meetdilip]

Can we think of selecting top 4-5 teams of our choice. Like that we can rate the teams 1 - 8.

[gothic_coder]

I voted for Mumbai indians and Delhi Daredevils

[Raghav_K]

Chennai Super Kings FTW

[Dragon]

My Picks are:

Delhi Daredevils

Mumbai Indians

Deccan Chargers

[aashaka_gandhi]

I feel it has to be one from this three....Dellhi , Rajasthan or Mumbai.....

[The One]

My favourites are the Mumbai Indians, with their strong batting line-up ( ) backed by a strong bowling line-up.

[Sid]

Delhi Daredevils---Coz i am from Delhi, Apart from this Sehwag -Gambhir make a great opening pair........they have a good bowling line up..........cheers for DD

[just4kix]

hahhah......i like sachin ...but i hate jayasurya......

Even when he (SJ) was pulverizing the Indians (189 at Sharjah), I could not help but admire him. I hated him but I also loved him. And he is a thorough gentleman. Perhaps there are others who pulverize just as good or maybe better but I genuinely dislike them with all my heart. Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds come to the mind immediately.

[Punch Farce]

Even though I don't follow cricket these days ;-)

I gotta go with my homeboys the Chennai Super Kings...

-F

p.s does anyone else think this team sounds like a cigarette????
