ananthd you seem all fired up about IPL 3... what with all the team threads and everything!

I'll make the others sticky as we get more discussion on them...

My dream final would be KKR v. MI... but my head says RR v. CSK...

semis:

1) Delhi
2) Kolkatta
3) Mumbai
4) Banglore


winner can be anyone

deccan the worst bowling attack and a very rusty batting line up .

i pray they are in the semis ... and then we will have a gilly special , for a second straight ipl.

KKR will be in semis for sure.

delhi is a very good team.
mumbai, if they can hold onto the tight games, they will be in semis

one of the sout teams , mostly DC will be in semis

Delhi
Mumbai
DC
CSK
Punjab
KKR
Bangalore
Rajasthan

Semis
Delhi to wallop CSK
DC to make Mumbai eat mud with the forum's favorite Rohit hitting a 32 ball Ton

Finals
Delhi making 240 and looking good to win till Gilly and Rohit say 'hang on..we can do something'

^i c the following situation

a must win match for dhakkan dischargers to qualify for the semis, and they need 3 runs off 6 balls to win with quota player rohit sharma on strike batting on 8 off 12 balls

now, last over, roshit sharma wastes the 1st 3 balls & isnt able to score at all. now 3 off 3 needed, 4th ball, roshit sharma looks for a a non-existant single & ends up running his partner out. roshit sharma still on strike with 3 needed off 2, looks to hit a 6, doesnt connect, gets out caught in the outfield. now, 3 needed off 1 with the new batsman on strike, he only manages a single and thanks to a pathetic 17 ball 8 from roshit sharma, the dhakkan dischagers end up losing & fail to qualify for the semis and their opponents qualify instead

now roshit sharmas posters get burned in all of andhra pradesh & he gets kicked out of the indian team forever

^^^^^

Small Twist...4th Ball Rohit hits a ball into orbit and DC win...

Because of this, Delhi (Belly) - Bare All Evils get knocked out due to lower run rate than DC Opponents in this match...

Rohit..His qualities are endless..Hits 2 stones with one bird...

All these predictions are pointless.. It will depend on which teams Modi wants to see battling in SFs..

^thats y i am not following the ipl. the only thing i am hoping for from the ipl is that the quota player rohit sharma flops badly

How can you make a prediction in a tournament where the bottom 2 teams of the first year contested the Finals of the next year? We should just enjoy the IPL for what it is...the ultimate masala 'cricketainment'.
