I’m a Delhi Daredevils fan myself – with the potent combination of Shah and Collingwood leading the team, I’m confident that its our year. And they have the best logo.
But do they have teh awesome of Mahendra Singh Dhoni? No. They do not. Only one team does. Go Chennai!
Sanga > Dhoni
I had such high hopes for Kings XI last year, we had some talented internationals, some fine local bowlers and the best looking franchise owner in world sport. Unfortunately, we also had a dud of an icon player (Yuvi) – I think he worked out at about $5K per run last year 🙁
I wonder if Mumbai would consider a direct trade for Harbhajan – he was instrumental in motivating Sreesanth last year and it would be useful to have him around to offer a ‘guiding hand’ to the younger guys in the team.
I think I might go Kolkata Knight Riders again, as their kit literally made me laugh out loud last year.
I’m with the Daredevils too with Colly, Shah and St Nannes – and the entirely non partisan reporting on the site:

Ceci, it’s asking me what 4+1 is. If I wanted to do some maths challenges, I’d go on Countdown. Not log on to some poxy cricket website.
Kings XI Punjab (why’s it taken me a whole year to spot the lack of apostrophe?), on the other, don’t bother you with elementary addition. They’re kings, and there are eleven of them. Fact.
Oh, and Preity is their queen. Not a patch on Mithali’s cover drive, obviously, but she certainly puts cricket bats in unusual places.
IPL overseas would be great for a learning experience for the Indian players.

Punjab should get whacked….
No Sreesanth, B Lee coming off injury, Pathan gone cack, Shaun Marsh been injured recently, Pomersbach and Jayawardene out of form
Aha, and that is exactly why Chennai shall win this year.
Although it is a shame about Pathan.
I’m sticking with Rajasthan as people who change their sporting allegiance are worse than people who think the Daily Mail is an ‘aspirational’ newspaper, although I will permit myself to support Flintoff regardless of what colour hat he is wearing.
once again its all about the themes i’m torn between

Mumbai
or
Royal Challengers

I think im going with the Royal Challengers this year.
It’s going to be held in… South Africa! Yay!
I know why. On Wikipedia’s page “List of Cities in South Africa” there are exactly eight. There are also exactly eight IPL teams. This neatly avoids having to decide which cities are not up to the job of having an IPL team.
However, it still leaves the problem of how to decide which team plays where. Presumably, they’ll have a live televised auction, where each city will bid billions of Rand for the better teams, and billions of Zim Dollars for the Deccan Chargers.
