IPL Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[SciD]

CSK have worst bowling lineup. Go Balaji.

Lakshmi owns you.


I reckon KKR will take the most tonking this year, but they will have Gayle and McCullum opening, so it will equal out most of the time.

 

[deerkick]

Gayle is in superb form though. I think him and McCullum will rock things up this time around. So due to the itinerary, Ponting won't be available. But Gayle wasn't around last time and with the inclusion of him combined with Mortaza, KKR has got some good allround hard hitters now.

 

[Cricketman]

CSK have worst bowling lineup. Go Balaji.

Balaji - best quick from the South
Flintoff - Best bowler in England
Sudeep Tyagi - Rising star
Mularitharan - Enough Said.
Albie Morkel - A fantastic Allrounder
Ashwin - Superb spinner.
Joginder Sharma - Won is the T20 wc, nerves of steel.

Right. Compared to a failed swing bowler, an injured fast bowler, and a fatass of a spinner thrown in too. Oh, and the guy who got hit for the most sixes last year too. The only good bowler you have is Sreesanth, but he's from the state neighboring us so you can thank CSK for that, in some remote and odd way.

CSK even have Ntini and Oram if I an not wrong...

 

[SciD]

All internationals cant play in same game. Hayden, Murli, Flintoff and Hussey will be certain starters. That leaves
Balaji and Amarnath - best bowlers in universe :rtfl
Rolly Polly >>>>> Ashwin
And Murli was so great last year that he did not even averaged 1 wicket per game

Inspite of all that, why didnt Punjab come to the final and why CSK came? This time, we have a much better bowling attack. You guys clearly are flustered by the hype Balaji is getting, and so are venting out your frustrations on him.

Posting for the billionth time but anyways -

Murali Vijay
Matthew Hayden - OS
Suresh Raina
MS Dhoni
Albie Morkel - OS
Andrew Flintoff - OS (1)
Subramanium Badrinath (Will move up the order in case of early wickets)
Lakshmipathy Balaji (2)
R Ashwin/Manpreet Gony
Sudeep Tyagi
Muttiah Mularitharan - OS

Honestly I don't think you can beat the mixture of that side. Solid batsman all the way through 7, all of them big hitters. An awesome opening combination of Hayden and Vijay, a middle order of steel, and 6 fantastic bowlers.

We're going to win this.

I would play Kapugadera instead of Tyagi. We already have Albie Morkel and Flintoff as regular bowlers. Balaji, Gony and Murali will make it 5 regular bowlers. Being a batsman's game, we need to stack up enough batters in the side.

Only problem being that we released Kapu.

 

[King Cricket]

My KKR FIRST XI

1. Chris Gayle
2. Brendon Mccullam (WK)
3. Ricky Ponting
4. Chetaswar Pujara
5. Sourav Ganguly (c)
6. Laxmi Ratan Shukla
7. Wriddhiman Saha
8. Mohnish Parmar/Ajit Agarkar (We don't have another choice)
9. Ishant Sharma
10. Ashoke Dinda
11. Ajantha Mendis

Forgetting a certain Hussey? Him over Ponting, any day.

Also, Sachin Rana instead of Parmar or Agarkar.

 

[metallics2006]

M. Hayden (O)
M. Hussey (O)
S. Raina
M.S. Dhoni (WK/C)
S. Badrinath
A. Morkel (O) (4)
A. Flintoff (O) (1)
M. Gony (2)
L. Balaji (3)
R. Ashwin(5)
P. Amarnath / S. Tyagi (6)

Murali and Oram / Thushara can come into the side when Hussey and Flintoff leave.

 

[Amiya]

Parmar? The one with a doubtful action. Is he playing really?

 

[SciD]

I dont remember raaving about Kings, infact I said they will finish bottom this season. :

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

He is playing for us ........ Kolkata Knight Riders

Albie over Hussey any day.

So -

Morkel
Balaji, who is miles better than your VRV btw:
Flintoff
Murali
Ashwin
Tyagi/Jogi/Gony

Lulz, we are so good.
