IPL Update

[brod]

Has anyone one been on the official IPL website yet?

I have been on there over the last couple of days to try and find scorecards and stat leaders etc.

There are only 2 games worth of scorecards on the site, and it has to be one of the most horrible sites to navigate around ever! I guess all the $$$ was spent on the players...

Yeah, its a shocker. Easier to use cricinfo, theyve got an IPL page

What is the colour of the shirts that the Deccan Chargers wear?
Peach
Apricot

Bloody awful anyway, of all the colours, what would make anyone trying to market a sporting team choose that?

[hearts on fire]

Andrew Symonds has just scored the fastest century of the tournament.

Well done Andy.

[hearts on fire]

Deccan Chargers have made 5/214 and Andrew Symonds made 117* not out.

What an effort!

[brod]

Huge blow for Kolkata and fans as well, Chris Gayle looks like being ruled out of the IPL, with his groin injury not allowing him to be fit unitl the West Indian Players will have returned home.
Kolkata have sent an SOS to Les Burdett to help them with the preperation of their pitches. He has stated thathe will not interupt his family holiday for the mission.

[hearts on fire]

Rajasthan Royals won by 3 wickets, Symonds got belted by Shane Warne in the final over.

Symonds earlier work has come un-done and he has lost them the game.

Cant say that he lost them the game..it would have been over two hours earlier without him. His bowling has just not been any good in IPL, so far 6.5 overs 0 for 101 (14.8 RPO)

[jackpot jim]

The Royals needed 17 off the last over which got down to 14 off 4 balls. Warne Hit Symonds for 4,6,6 off successive balls to win with 1 ball to spare
Fair dinkum, even i could've fired in a few yorkers to restrict them Rather than the CRAP that Symonds Bowled (Full tosses and Long hops)

[hearts on fire]

Symonds was bowling half trackers, seriously, who couldn't hit them for six? the ground isn't that big as well.
