Smart franchise. Thay have got murali as well. If only they had added sanath it would be a cup winning squad.

I doubt if Mahela can satisfy the demands of leading a high powered IPL franchise.

rohana Thursday, 10 February 2011 01:11 PM

Great leader

I Hussein Thursday, 10 February 2011 01:39 PM

Good choice. Mahela will deliver the goods. The man behind cochin Sashi Tarror is a smart man anyway.
