Royal Challengers Bangalore team
JH Kallis, MK Pandey, KP Pietersen, RV Uthappa†, LRPL Taylor, V Kohli, R Dravid, R Vinay Kumar, A Kumble*, DW Steyn, P Kumar
Mumbai Indians team
SR Tendulkar*, S Dhawan, SS Tiwary, KA Pollard, AT Rayudu†, JP Duminy, AM Nayar, Harbhajan Singh, Z Khan, CRD Fernando, SL Malinga

Toss Sachin Tendulkar: “We have played every game to win, that’s the frame of mind we will go in with. Back in Mumbai, feels great.” Sunny G says there is less grass than M Chinnaswamy. Anil Kumble says it’s okay, and the pitch seems to have good bounce, so he is not displeased.

Sachin Tendulkar has won the toss, and as expected in a big match, he will bat first. Abhishek Nayar is fit, is a “big-match player”, and is in. Dilhara Fernando is in too, so is Lasith Malinga, ahead of Ryan McLaren. Ambati Rayudu will keep wicket. And JP Duminy has been picked ahead of Dwayne Bravo.

Anil Kumble says it is a good toss to lose, because dew could play a part too. They have brought back Praveen Kumar ahead of Pankaj Singh, and Ross Taylor stays in.

    Tame ending to the game.. But as per usual I got my predictions wrong.:) Looking forward to the final.

  • 103

    99 – Super, serves him right for eating such hot stuff..hehe. I hate anything hot especially chillies. Just ruins the taste of any food.

    Went out for early dinner last night and had the best lamb ever. Now that is what I call yummy. High in cholesterol but what the heck, it was superb.

  • 104

    Remember there is a game tomorrow , playoff for 3rd.
    Dont know if it counts for Superbru.

  • 105

    102 – Winston, When is the final?

  • 106

    I used to like hot food, but in Natal dont even ask a Indian mild stuff.

  • 107

    104 – Super, Somehow don’t think so don’t see it there for a pick. Think only the final counts now.

    106 – Super, I know very well. I always say if it is mild for the Indians in Durbs it is far too hot for me. They just laugh at me. It has to be sooooooooooooooooo mild if I eat a curry. Like to taste my food and not just my mouth burning……hahaha.

  • 110

    On the 25th Puma. I’m sure it’ll be on Bru,its just because they didnt know who would contest the game.

  • 111

    I dont mind food if its a bit spicy but I dont enjoy food if its too hot. I think some white folk eat hot food just because of the male ego thing.

  • 112

    I wonder how the draft will go next year with the 2 new teams coming in the the players coming up for auction again?

  • 113

    108 – Thanks Super. Will watch the final. Wont bother with the play offs.

    Really looking forward to the 20/20 wc though.

    See on the news that PdV is criticising Muir for selecting Spencer for the Lions. Mmmmmmmmm maybe he is upset with more than just Gold.

    At least he cant say anything to Plum for selecting Goode……hahaha. Never heard him say anything about Plum for selecting Goode. Unless cause we just had not FH to select from.

  • 114

    So it will be Sunday

    Who is playing early Saturday , i will miss that game , going to walk with the Lions at Tshukudu. They are getting big so i better go before it is too late, i would not like to walk with fully grown Lions in the veld.

    Hope to add some new pictures, on the album.

    111 – Winston, When I was younger I ate hot food, my curry was hot enjoyed chillies. Now just really don’t enjoy anything that hot or takes away the taste of the food.

  • 116

    Lets move to the Preview thread

  • 117

    114 – Super, That sounds just what I would love to do, is walk with the Lions, but young ones. Must be exciting. What a way to start the day. Fantastic. Enjoy it.
