Lannister Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 RCB has become a very dislikeable team with Kohli at its helm. As long as he remains in this franchise, no good will come. He's like a curse to his very own team. They need to kick him out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) RCB has to bring in CDG in place of Baz. Lower middle order is too weak. If AB and Kohli get out early they will struggle to put on a good score/chase as we saw yesterday. Edited April 14, 2018 by Mosher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philcric Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Even before the tournament started, it was obvious RCB made a blunder not to retain KL Rahul. Virat, AB, KL and Chahal were the MUST to be retained / bought back. Retaining Sarfaraz made no sense. Even if they really wanted him, they could have easily bought him in the auction at a small cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philcric Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 2 games in ... Good news so far is some of the not top-of-the-shelf players like Umesh, Sundar and Mandeep have done well ... that's a few less headaches in selection. Obviously too top heavy ... need to drop BMac and strengthen the middle order with may be DeGrandhomme .. Sarfaraz needs to be dropped. Kejroliya bowling good lengths and pace, needs to adjust his line a bit. Chahal and Woakes need a good outing in the next game. + Q DeKock M Vohra * V Kohli AB DeVilliers C DeGrandhomme M Singh C Woakes W Sundar U Yadav K Khejroliya Y Chahal sourab10forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philcric Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Letting go of Rahul Retaining Sarfaraz Picking a has been BMac Foreign picks ... NCN, BMac, Woakes, QDK, C Anderson, M Ali, Southee, CDG ... apart from QDK and may be NCN and CDG (potentially), the rest are average T20 players. Most in ICF would have done a better job at auction than these dumb*ucks who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.

philcric Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) With the status quo, no way in hell RCB can make it far in this IPL. They need to get away from this top-heavy batting order. It worked in 2016 only because Virat and AbDV were in the form of their lives. Rahul also had an exceptional season in the middle order. Gayle wasn't consistent but he won couple of games on his own, and almost won the final too. I feel they really have to strengthen the middle order. It will keep them in the game for longer periods, unlike now which is boom or bust at the top. Batting late in the order is more difficult than batting earlier in the innings. Senior players (Virat, ABDV) have to take the responsibility of batting through the middle and end overs and finish the games. They need to extend the batting depth. Sundar seems to have the batting game for the powerplay overs. I'd try this order for a game or two and see how it goes. I feel it would work well.

But Kohli said not to expect major changes after today's game. So it would take losing a few more games to change this shitty batting line-up. At the most we will see one change in the bowling line up. philcric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philcric Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Saw the team selection, saw the batting order. I knew the game was lost even before a single ball was bowled. MI was 0/2 after 2 balls, even then I didn't fancy RCB's chances. Don't think RCB has any chance with Vettori / Kohli. Make Kirsten the head coach and ABDV the captain. And FFS put some thought and come up with a strategy of how to approach the innings instead of just putting your best 3 batsmen at the top of the order and expect them to start, consolidate and finish the innings.

philcric Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They have to try something ridiculous. Don't think they can compete now by playing normal cricket. Make ABDV the captain. May be stack the team with batting and try to out-bat the opposition. Go hard from ball one and keep batting aggressively all along. W Sundar M Vohra + Q DeKock V Kohli * AB DeVilliers C DeGrandhomme C Anderson M Singh U Yadav M Siraj Y Chahal It's an imbalanced side, but probably has a better chance of winning than the ones which played last 4 games.
