Doesn't help McCullum that he's in a team full of losers. The bowling attack is actually an embarrassment. Lets face it, he doesn't have a lot to work with. Sharma is decent but other-wise the rest of the pace attack are pie chuckers. Dada wasn't great last year when he was captain either, they went poor then as well after the first game. It's the team which is the main problem. Mendis is a good spinner but he's not played much T20 so i'm not surprised he's being smashed. There's no real all-rounder. Gayle bowls a bit, but it's hard to say he's an all-rounder. Once Gayle leaves they're even worse off.
Battingwise he's been disappointing. I said it from the start, there were more experienced players who could have been captain. Since McCullum is the keeper, I don't think he can be solely blamed but he is one of the problems. Gayle's only played 1 good knock, Hodge has been terrible. Hodge doesn't even play international cricket so why he makes the starting 11 time after time I can't understand. They lack depth.
Buchannan is a terrible coach too. He rode on a strong Australian team and basically sat back doing nothing. He can't have helped things. I think he's a dickhead myself. The reports from ex-Aussie players confirm all this. SRK is a dickhead too.
Kolkata are dead. No chance of the finals now. I thought Kolkata would do badly. They depend on their opening partnership (maybe 3 and 4 a little also) and if that fails like it has every time they have no chance.
