What's your favourite Indian Premier League team?

And it's a shame Louis Jagger isn't around because he's always good value on cricket threads.

Lucknow Jaggers

he will see this thread and make a comment on someone's facebook wall which will make its way here anyway.

THE KNIGHT RIDERS HAVE SOLID GOLD HELMETS AND PADS

A+++++++ GREATEST SPORTS FRANCHISE EVER

LJ: like the poor, always with us.

Royal Challengers have psychedelic sleeves!!

I am loving the teams of 10 Indian dudes and 1 token Aussie bloke. And the all-white cheerleaders in Kolkata!

Chennai Super Kings have a player called Napoleon Einstein, so that's my choice made!

Rather short on the imaginative names

I am going for the Punjabis if only because the IPL says they feature 'break-dancing S. Sreesanth'.

Sreesanth: The most crazy man in world cricket!

I wonder if anyone will say Mumbai is insulting Native Americans with that name choice!!

that is probably the worst team name in professional sport. i'm looking forward to 3-way tournament with the Lancashire Englishmen and the Adelaide Australians.

I dunno, Adelaide Englishmen would more apt (that's some local social commentary for you).

50 runs in the first 4 overs = Indian dudes shaking their mobile phones in the crowd like a polaroid picture.

Mumbai Indians gets better the more I think about it, unlike the IPL.

And the all-white cheerleaders in Kolkata!

pics or it didn't happen

Aren't they on loan from the Washington Redskins?

They promised BOLLYWOOD CHEERLEADERS so I don't know what's going on there.

I am love the team promo videos,

Damn! He looks as comfortable doing that number as throwing fastest balls to worlds best batsmen :)

Can't wait for Brett Lee's 2011 World Cup Theme Song, by the way. It might even beat out that Dave Stewart classic "All Over The World" for Best Cricket World Cup Theme Song Ever.

The idea of making the highest run scorer in the IPL wear a bright orange cap is SOLID GOLD CLASSIC and not just because Don Bradman is rolling in his grave now.

BY THE WAY, that nice Mr. Louis Jagger of Cambridge sent me a Facebook message in regards to all this. Nice young chap, he might be the next John Major if we're lucky.

Loving how every article currently written about cricket goes along the lines of "IPL 20/20 isn't cricket, it's like a McDonalds cheeseburger compared to the foie gras of Test cricket, etc etc."

I'm more disappointed about how Chennai's pants are a different yellow to the tops.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I actually voted for Rajasthan in the end. Team Warne and all that, plus they have a reality TV star in their side. Hopefully they can translate their dominance into the right result today.

Team Warne is number one and the best and it's a shame they couldn't get sponsorship from a major Australian fast food chain.

Biscuit company, surely.

nah that's Glenn McGrath

or Muralitharan

Real talk from Eddo Brandes.

Shane Warne is in the top 3 sportsmen of our age IMO.

pato let's just imagine they're the "rajasthan chocolate royals"!

Warnie 4 the Ashes Warnie 4 the Ashes Warnie 4 the Ashes

^^ real talk, be afraid britishes

hey dude i want it as much as you do

there are a few personalities still dotted about the game but none of them play for england (since hoggard got dropped); pietersen is the closest we have. vaughan's probably quite a complex character but he hides behind a ghastly PR masquerade, deep in the shrouded cocoon of Team England. people like mark butcher and hoggard are being phased out in favour of automatons.

whereas the australian team has been absolutely full of sparkly, entertaining, forthright individuals. none more so than warne (and mcgrath). between them those two were pretty much my ideal sportsperson.

Yeah, okay, but HAYDEN???

haha but we don't even have a hardsledging bible-bashing bowler-breakin' bully in OUR side

not that we'd want one i guess!

ILX faves getting a pasting from the Deccan Chargers here.

Hold on, there's a guy out there with an unbranded bat.

'getting a pasting'? My bad

Ishant Sharma's currently 6-5. Deccan are ripping through Kochi. It's great to watch.

I am an American who watched old 2011 world cup highlights and I'm all jacked up, want to pick a favorite team to root for next season, which team is the most fun to watch? I liked yuvraj singh iirc.

btw to be clear I watched world cup to get jacked up on cricket and now I am inspired to pick a premier league team to arbitrarily favor

Some really exciting young Indian players in the IPL this year. Sanju Sampson looks terrific and Unmukt Chand has been in good form for Delhi.

Kieron Pollard just hit 34 off six deliveries.

Another six now!

Two more massive sixes from Pollard to finish. Amazing batting.

Sreesanth arrested!

Yusuf Pathan has just beasted 64 off 18. Fastest fifty in IPL history.

dropped first ball; a sitter

lol t20

MI vs RR is ridiculously tense. Mumbai needed 190 from 14.3 to qualify. They have 189 and need a boundary with one ball to go, due to some complicated maths I don't understand.

Six!

That was amazing.

Dunno who it was who hit that six facing their first ball but bloody hell.

truly it's been a weekend where evil has asserted itself, against the odds, at the last gasp. sport can pretty much fuck off at this point

at least this one was kinda epic & came largely at the expense of two australians

oh is the IPL still a thing that people are into (apart from Indian guys and Glenn Maxwell)
