Big setback for Pune losing Mathews. Looks a good team still, hopefully they do well.

 

[Akash00]

This should be their regular line-up:

Graeme Smith/Tim Paine
Jesse Ryder
Manish Pandey
Yuvraj Singh
Robin Uthappa (wk)
Angelo Mathews/Mitchell Marsh (Mathews will play if fit)
Mithun Manhas
Wayne Parnell/Jerome Taylor
Murali Kartik
Ashish Nehra
Kamran Khan

I predict them to at least avoid the bottom 5.

Pandey is banned for the first four games , so that's a huge blow for Pune .

From where did you get that? Oh man, I was hoping to see him in action soon.

Umm, doesn't look too convincing. It was put up on Feb 5, long time. Also, haven't seen anything related to that on cricinfo too...

Hmm , see the section '2009 to present'

[Gaurav_7]

Well, a big blow. We do have the fire power though, hopefully the players perform to their potential. I'm seeing Graeme Smith as the most important player if we have to do well.

After half-way stage, it is proved that Pune Warriors India and Rajasthan Royals are 2 such teams, who can win only when chasing the target.

 

[Haarithan]

Pune should have bought Ganguly a lot earlier .

 

[icyman]

We need a better captain. Yuvraj looks clueless on the field. Graeme Smith should have been given the captaincy. Ofcourse, Pune can still turn to Ganguly now,but its too late.

Also, why aren't they playing Callum Fergusson and James Faulkner ? Forgotten about them or what ? Fergusson, pity the lad, he has been on a 3-month long sub-continental tour without playing in any of the matches.

 

[crazyrahul]

Yup, I agree icyman.

Callum Ferguson is way better than Tim Paine or Mitchell Marsh, even than Graeme Smith too at this moment. Wayne Parnell was also fine than Jerome Taylor. In uncapped players list, why Yuvraj doens't try Harshad Khadiwale? He was a good domestic player I guess. Manhas and Mishra sucks big time. Hope Dada will give PWI some pride by winning few matches.

Don't know what will happen in WI tour if Yuvi gets captaincy? It will be a horrible decision to captain him now.

 

[mohit_dude10]

Just like KKR and KXIP(in the previous seasons), they have the team to beat the best but they just aren't clicking as a team, probably because of Yuvraj's captaincy. Yuvraj as a captain should take responsibility and come up the order instead of coming in when the match is almost done and dusted, not sure why he hasn't bowled a lot he would have been a very useful bowler at least better than the useless kartik.

Though Rahul Sharma has been a revelation.
