[jackpot jim]

These IPL teams are over-rated, over-paid pieces of S**T that play with NO heart or passion.
As the saying goes, "A champion team will always beat a team of champions"
Having said that, i dont think the redbacks fall into either catagorey but they are playing with heart & pasison which has gone a long way towards them being undefeated so far.

Woop Woop... The form of Maxy says something about the dunderheadedness of our selectors last year too!

[Thiele]

well Done you Redbacks

[catchisthecry]

Superb!
Interesting comments from Stephen Fleming (Chennai coach) that SA would need to be watched because they had been training together for 5 months -compare to chennai 10 days!
Certainly playing like a team well drilled.
Surprise packets have been obviously the opening partnerships, Ferg's brilliant return and the part time bowlers doing their bits.. We knew Taity would rum amok, but spinners are going ok too (maybe a bit expensive)
Manou at 3 the only worry at the moment..
Great to see the boys playing so well on the big stage!!

lets hope this all continues when they get back home

good to see some wins for a change, even if it is the 20-20, get some confidence amongst the group

Hooray, now I can watch it!

[Phantom Gossiper]

The redbacks are looking to get something like $1m for making the semis at least, but im curious how much money do you think they will actually make after you remove costs for flying over and staying etc?

And how do you think the money will be spent?

Guyana are the stragglers, so look to this game for us to get toppled...

Wouldn't matter, would it!?

If ever there's a time to be positive about the 'backs, now is it! If only we were playing cricket instead of T20...but it's on the world stage, so good stuff.
