Waiting eagerly for CL to start..groups are divided in an interesting manner..RCB will have a tough competition from Lions, and west Australia to qualify for semis, ofcourse not forgetting our own MI...and KP and Morgan missing from action it would be a real tough task fro RCB to qualify,,but what determines how RCB goes in the tournament is how Indian players respond particualrly with the likes of Kohli, uthappa, PK and pandey. since most of the overseas players are unavailable we are left with limited choice...hopefully we can use the resources we have to the maximum extent and win CL...all the best RCB!!!

i mean this time it's in SA it's goin to be a test for all those new youngsters......and time for RD to show his class once again :)
and most of the foreign based clubs will still try using the short pitched delivery to big use......
just heard tht Taylor has 3 teams this time in the CL :S
wow so he would be really confused on which one to choose
