Also not spending much money in the last auction, we bought couple of decent players, justin kemp from SA who was once known for his big hitting. Not sure,if he is the same still and T Perera from Srilanka, who had a good start to his international career in the series against india last year,also known for his big hitting .

We been the runners-up in the innaugral edition of the Ipl, played the semi-finals,when the team went to southAfrica for the second Ipl. Team still looks the same, though some names like stephen Fleming and Chamara Kapugedara are missing. Rest looks the same. And also the team is captained by the indian skipper Ms Dhoni. And the team is owned by the India Cements. Home ground will the Chidambaram Stadium,Chennai

Will be missing Freddie Flintoff who is out due to injury and also the mike Hussey who is not available coz of the Australia-Newzealand Test series. jacob Oram also missing due to injury. I think. Some worries in the bowling department as Oram and Flintoff is miszing.

Batting for us,is our main strength. Have some terrific world class batsmen who are well known for their big hitting . Mathew Hayden,who was a brilliant opener for australia in all forms of the game opens the innings. He was in tremendous form last season. Experimentd with the other opener,had 3 or 4 playerz like G Bailey, M Vijay, P Patel, V Sivaramakrishnan, i thnk M vijay or Bailey would be a perfect choice

Missing Mike Hussey, who is the best finisher in limited overs format, in the middle order,but still has some local talent mixed with indian players, looks strong. MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina are in top form, with S Badrinath the Tamil Nadu skipper who join in the middle orded look decent. Should have to wait and see who would be the first five we picks.

Ipl

Albie Morkel who is struggling for form,is a worry for the team, as i feel Dhoni is very interestd in him and will make him play most number of matches. He is known for his tremendous h*tting t0o. But his bowling recently looked very ordinary

Yup 4 more days to go for the Ipl. Follow @Ipl on twitter for updates. You can also have Lalit Modi tweeting and giving updates everyday on Twitter

Bowling been always the worry for the CSK. Yeah we have murali,worlds best spinner now,(but i would rate him only after warnie) the others like Ntini and Morkel are struggling for form. Last year Jakati was a surprise package, who this year i think will struggle. R Ashwin who had a decent domestic season will be a important player for us this season

Other pacers like S Tyagi, M Gony and Laxmi Balaji who played for india, are inconsistant. Balaji has lost his speed now,who is more a medium pacer these days can trouble players with his variations. Also the srilankans Thilan Thushara and Tissira Perera will have a huge part to play . Also Suresh Raina cn fill in sum overz,who bowled pretty well last season . .
