IPL Match 39-Kolkata Knight Riders v Delhi Daredevils

Exactly..give him some time..and that was also not the perfect time for him to come in.He is an opener .He came at the 11th over.!He is an opener!

Then why take him? Ganguly and Gayle are doing well as openers..they reached 100 in 11 overs which is pretty good..so why drop Hussey and take McCullum who could only hit big ones by opening ?

Actually KKR has the worst run rate in the first 10 overs of any team. They've been doing average really.

Hussey may have fared no better. McCullum hardly got to face many balls and got run out. Some people put too much expectation on. Is this what T20 is doing? All the new breed of cricket fans expect batsmen to hit boundaries at will. It's not that easy. Just some players make it look easy when it's their day.

Ganguly should drop to 3 IMO. Since he's the captain he'll probably have to want to though. Can't fault him too badly. He's done reasonably well.

As I said before, KKR won the game so who cares.
