Thats a good kit
way better than their last one
even KKR Created a new version of their kit but the preview are not out yet
 
The one good thing is, these franchises have been doing a pretty good job i the overall look and design of their sites. Almost all sites look really cool.
 
Mashrafe is being treated unprofessionally by the KKR
a bangla daily newspaper link

and it says (i am just gona copy this other guys translation from other forum)

"The KKR have been not giving Mash time of day, making him pay for his own way to Mumbai, offered him no contract papers, threatening that the 600K bid means jack and that he'd be on a pay as you play plan, etc. They even had the audacity to email BCB and complain that he was dilly dallying at home which necessitated BCB sending a terse reply to the effect that he was involved with the Prem League and that KKR "best not comment on matters before doing their h/w". Situation is so bad that Mash doesn't even know what he's doing after the Mumbai photo ops. BCB has advised him that he should watch his back in SA."

Mash also called "dada" but he hasnt picked up his phone for last 3 days...
 
Hussey's unavailability is a blow for us.But it might reduce our confusions of whom of the foreign players to rest.Now the only worry is that who will open along with Hayden? Parthiv opened quite well last season,but it will be Murali Vijay this time I guess or maybe Sivaramakrishnan.

That looks sexy, I'm getting one if they're on sale anywehere. I love the orange and blue combination.
 
Chennai may bring in George Bailey to bolster the batting in Hussey's absence. I saw a couple of clips from him on Youtube and he seems like a very good T20 player, and has a bit of Ricky Ponting in him in terms of style. However, the four internationals I'd like to see in are Hayden, Morkel, Flintoff, and Mularitharan. Although i'm not banking on him to pick up wickets, I feel Murali can keep it tight in the middle overs and add variation to a predominantly pace based attack.

To partner Hayden, there are many options. There's Murali Vijay, who's in contention for the India spot. He's a very talented batsman and can score briskly, but from what i've seen of him is in the Laxman mould and might not fare well in T20's. I'm backing him to do well though. Abhinav Mukund was the U-19 star and Vijay's partner this domestic season. He steered Tamil Nadu to a win in the final with a very nice hundred as well. Parthiv Patel is an option, but I hate him and he can't field so the less said about him the better. Arun Karthik is also a talented youngster capable of opening up, along with Vidyut and Anirudha.

With the ball, Flintoff will spearhead the attack. He'll be backed up well by Lakshmipathy Balaji and Sudeep Tyagi, and maybe even Manpreet Gony. Albie Morkel will be an integral addition to the team, as he is a South African and knows the conditions better than anyone else. His batting is mighty as well.

My Superkings XI:

Matthew Hayden

Murali Vijay
Suresh Raina
MS Dhoni (c&wk)
Subramanium Badrinath
Albie Morkel
Andrew Flintoff

Laksh Balaji
Manpreet Gony
Sudeep Tyagi
Mularitharan
 
Freddie, Murli, Dhoni and Hayden in the same team. It's like a dream come true innit.

Suresh Raina is good too.

Bloody hate that Balaji dude.
 
I hate you. :mad: Balaji is god.

In other news, LOL @ Malya and BRC. That's what you get for dropping Dravid as captain, a crybaby whinger as a replacement. Good luck, looks like you're going to need it.
