Sachin Tendulkar is in great form for MI with his batting at the moment and so is Doug Bollinger for CSK.His bowling throughout the season was just amazing especially in the semis against DC.

If Sachin is fit for finals,Who do you think would win this contest when they face each other in the finals?.Would Sachin take him on for runs or will Doug Bollinger succeed in keeping Sachin quiet?

Doug Bollinger, Ryan Harris and Clint McKay have done well in the Test side in their absence. I don’t think they’ve been missed at all. But will they jump straight back to the starting xi or will they have to prove themselves again?

before start of play lot of opinions were created India is not safe for playing,we should not back ipl they are just for money,look at the biased reporting "Bollinger keeps Chennai’s IPL hopes up"look at the figures Doug Bollinger 4 1 15 2 , nothing about Ravichandran Ashwin 4 0 16 3 figures ,what did u say about this type of reporting .Those who are not playing IPL might have gnashing their teeth.

Doug Bollinger?
Nathan Hauritz?
Ryan Harris?
Brad Haddin?
Shane Watson?
Cameron White?
Simon Katich?

IMO its Doug Bollinger

A quality night at The Ironworks playing for Andrew mcgibbon and Ross Lyall. Great seeing all the motley crew out in force - great crowd, great night!
