Gen-X 1 Old Guard-0

So the old guard has been put down ruthlessly.Dada,Sachin,Dravid,Laxman(gilly) the great indian middle order found wanting in T20.Sachin's mumbai was very unlucky to make the semi's they last three matches they lost were all victories being thrown away rather than losses. Kolkata too dint have lady luck on their side with their monster batsman gayle getting injured a day before the ipl hungama.But the dada,buchannan,srk mela was never going to come off that smoothly.Yet dada managed to salvage somthing with a stunning performance against punjab.
The other two teams were dismal to put it lightly.Laxman had no idea what being a captain meant i mean running off to the MONKEY for advice is the limit.The team was uninspired for the most part.Bangalore received a hammerblow in the first match and never recovered from it. Despite having probably the best bowling attack they could not put up enough to win matches.Some strange team selections and panic attacks in a few close matches early on ensured that bangalore was out of the race early.
The above four could make the semi's next year but for now it is Gen-X 1 Old Guard-0
