Atlético de Kolkata Announcement
Welcome everyone to the preview of Round 1 between Kolkata Vs Kolkata, you heard it right Atlético de Kolkata is facing the mighty Kolkata Knight Riders. This Match is going to be a treat for all the Kolkata fans. Match is taking place at Eden Gardens, the third-largest cricket stadium in the world but the pitch type for the match is unknown yet.
I know what you all are waiting for, The squad... Yes Manager NaviN will be announcing his squad first to us has promised so lets not waste any more time and get straight to him.
NaviN Gandhi "The squad for Round 1 is here, this is the final squad which me and @Aravind. have agreed upon.
Shikhar Dhawan and Maxi will be opening the attack for us, Dhawan has been a solid opener for India in recent matches and we are hoping to get the start from him for us, Maxi has not opened in any match I believe but we all know his aggressive capability so we are pulling him up the order to give a push start in the batting, Hashim has been the most successive and consistent player in season 1 for us and for his teams Internationally so we are expecting a lot from him.
Rohit Sharma, Ryan Ten Doeschate, David Miller, Dinesh Karthik and Ravindra Jadeja will be leading the charge in the middle order. Sharma has been given the responsibility to handle the team and we decided to move him down the order to add some strength to the middle order has we believe he can keep wickets and strike when needed and so is Miller, we all know his capability of striking the ball and rotating strikes when needed. Ryan Ten Doeschate, Sir Jadeja and Karthik can quick fire the balls which will help us in scoring a big total.
Joel Garner will be leading the bowling attack for us, his experience and talent will help our bowling attack to give an aggressive start. De Lange has performed well in season 1 so we expect the same from hims this time along with Joel. Samuel Badree will be leading the spin attack along with Sir Jadeja and Maxi. Ryan Ten will be our 6th optional bowler which the captain can use if needed.
There must be some questions rising about the exclusion of yuvi from the main eleven, but what we have to say for the fans is that we are trying some combinations out here and saving the best for the later stage of the game.
Overall we have a very team who can play aggressively and responsibly.KKR under the leader ship of Managers @themusketeer and @Samuels has a solid team who can give a some tough time to our players but we have a very good solid players in our team who can play according the situation. We are hoping to win our first match away from home which will give a great confidence for the players. Thank you."
The first round of the league is about to begin, lets all get ready for a mind blowing start from the two huge team, let the best win the game. Stay tuned..
Atlético De Kolkata Post Match Review
Well the fans of Kolkata Knight Riders will be delighted with the win and it was a disappointing loss to the Atlético De Kolkata.. Lets get into the match post review.
It was a total plus for KKR that they won the toss, they know the condition of the home pitch and without any doubt they went straight into batting. Azhar and Ganguly where looking little good until big bird started shaking things up like an earthquake and KKR players started falling, until Sir Garry and AB came to the ground, both took the game off from ADK, both looked steady and strong which placed more pressure on the young captain Rohit who made some wrong calls in the field. Villiers was totally taking the game away from ADK before Lange got him before the wicket, with the steady platform set by AD and Garry, it was easy for Ross and Kapil to take the momentum forward to post a chalenging total of 270 in 50 overs.
Defending a challenging total KKR bowlers started off with wickets flying all over, KDR managers decision to bring maxi up the order did not work well for them and they lost him in the beginning stage of the game, followed by a Hasim losing his wicket. Middle order of ADK totally collapsed under the spin attack of the legend Shane Warne, but on the other hand opener Dhawan was playing a very solid and responsible innings scoring 95 out of 95 and keeping the hopes of ADK fans alive but Botham cleared his stumps in the last ball of his 5th Over, entering the filed at a position of 184/6,requiring a run rate of 6.13, Karthick and Jadeja played a excellent innings and took the game to an nail biting final over, In spite of Jadeja and Karthik's 86 runs partnership for the 7th wicket, KKR bolwers dominated the game and ended with their first home win for their fans by 5 runs.
AB De Villiers was awarded the Man of the Match for his responsible winning knock.
Now its time to hear few words from the winning managers,
@Samuels "We have developed a sort of pattern that our first few matches are very close where we end up on the winning side"
@themusketeer "Well that's a pretty disappointing performance. Not good at all. Its good that we won the game but we didn't expected a win like this from a team like KKR"
Now moving to the lossing Manager,
@NaviN GandhI "well to be honest that was a good performance from the boys but was not their best, middle orders must have played a responsible innings. AB is a tough player to break and he put our bowlers in a tough position. Our bowlers needs to raise their bars in the upcoming matches. Dhawan, Karthick and Jadeja played a good innings and we are looking forward for their performance to continue in upcoming matches"
@Aravind. " Four reasons for our failure in this match.
1.Disappointed with the way our middle order collapsed Rohit,RTD & Miller(was bit unlucky),but the match result would be different if two of them played sensibly.
2. I had never seen Samuel Badree bowl like this even though he is not a great wicket taker,but he usually bowls with good line & length to control the batsman from scoring big.
3.Strike rate of Maxi is too damn slow,he is expected to give flying start against any body & any pitch,but that doesn't happen he was sent early to do some pinch hitting due to his natural talent of clearing boundaries with ease,but he failed.
4.Ravindra Jadeja failed with the ball.
On the positive note Dhawan,RJ & Dinesh did their job in batting & the great Joel Garner,Marchant de Lange & RTD did their job with the ball.If we were able to correct little mistakes in coming matches then we might go all the way"
Overall the game was a treat to all cricket fans, So lets hear from both fans what he thinks about the game,
KKR Fans "We are slow starters so it doesn't surprise us.
But nevertheless a win is a win no matter how it comes"
Athletico Fans "Karthik and Jadeja almost did it. We made a strong statement that we are not here just to make the count. We are serious contenders for Season 3 and the effort we have put in this match has showed that. Dhawan played a truly sensational inngs against the world class bowling lineup"
Thanks to reporter @PCA for the fan interview.
Hope you all had a great match today.. Catch you all later at the next game, and remember #wewillwinordietrying

that moment when so called best after Bradman scored more runs than Bradman.
#Kirket_ko_Dekho
We will bounce back.
2. Sydney Dynamo - 2500 Fans
So this season we have 6 regular bowlers.Our key to victory will be Don Bradman and Hayden.
The arrival of Shaun Pollock has given us much needed confidence and he'll be leading the attack.
Hyderabad seems quite invincible, but we'll try our best to win the opening game of the season.That's a fantastic victory! Despite of losing Hayden, Bradman & Clarke earlier on in the innings we somehow managed to post a good total, Thanks to Faf and our lower order. Pollock's strike rate of"129.4%" was amazing considering the fact that he was facing bowlers like Muralitharan & Mitchell Johnson. Wayne Parnell's brisk 20 from 23 balls made it possible for us to cross the 250 mark.
The most impressive part of this win was our bowling. We started off quite poorly, allowing the openers to put up a partnership of 117 runs.It was only a matter of time when the first wicket fell, leading a collapse. Junaid took the important wickets of Sachin & Gibbs. Shakib did well to dismiss Lara. Clint McKay seems to be out of form.
In the end, this was a much needed victory and it was important to start off the tournament well.Shakib deserved the man of the match award. Hope we can continue playing well. #gloryglorysydneydynamo
That moment when Sachin+Sanga+Bradman scored less runs than Lord Faf #thuglife.

Southampton Samurai vs Mumbai Indians
Season 3
Match 5
MATCH PREVIEW
Mumbai Indians had a terrible season in the last month with just winning two of their 8 league matches and one being rained off. With the new season underway the team has bought 12 new players with retaining just six of the previous season. They signed Javed Miandad for a record 2.4 Million and some of the signings were quite high with the intention of winning. The batting department has been improved with the signing of Marlon Samuels, Joe Root and Suresh Raina. With some interesting signings of All-Rounders like Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard, Andre Rusell and Mitch Marsh. Fast Bowlers were give the highest priority as Mitch Starc, Tim Southee, James Anderson were purchased.
Mumbai spent a sum of 16.55 Million in buying of players.
Southampton Samurai too had a bad ending to a well started Season 2. WIth finishing sixth in the league stage after having full chance of qualifying. Signings of Wally Hammond for 1,600,000 and Mahela Jayawardene for a 950,000 may make a bit difference as the Southampton based franchise kept it simple. With big names like Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum and Steven Smith in the batting order increases the chances of a high-scoring thriller. With MS Dhoni's captaincy the Samurais are at a bit more high level. Some good names in the bowling department as well proves that its going to be a thriller.
Southampton Spent just a 2.5 Million in the player signings.
Where?
The Rose Bowl, Southampton
Last Meeting:
Season 2, League Stage. Southampton won it in one-sided way.
Winning Odds
Southampton - 50
Mumbai - 50
5. Southampton Samurai - 1500 Fans
The Southampton management has announced alongside the recent lineup that new signing Wally Hammond will be taking the captaincy for the upcoming season, perhaps a sign of vulnerability with MS Dhoni's position in the team given McCullums availability with the gloves and the requirement for rotation of several other high quality players.
Also new to the team, Mahela Jayawerdene, slots into the opening position that has been a constant weak spot in the Samurai team in the first 2 seasons. There have been rumors of curses over the position as the likes of Alex Hales and Ravi Bopara all tried their luck with unfortunate stats to show for it.
Garry Ballance will be someone disappointed at his omission from the team given his stylish finish to last season hitting 244 runs in his only 3 games, something that may come to the minds of the Samurai management if the batting fails in the upcoming game.
