They have a good team , but I think they will at least one year to strengthen the team and find their backup players (local players) . I would like the name to be Kochi Coconut.

 

[Prinu]

Go Tuskers Go.......we with u...

 

[simsanta123]

So they are Tuskers now. I hope they don't change it again.

 

[Prithvi]

I'm looking forward to see how Raiphi Gomez performs. I've seen his cricinfo profile and all photos of him are profile photos and he's looking like a kollywood hero .

Oh sorry dude.

So in my team, Parthiv will come in for Owais Shah. No chance for shah or Smith then. Hodge is must.
