amits Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 mate' date=' Gambhir has to and will open.[/quote'] even i am a delhi daredevil fan. but gambhir has done better as a no.3 player than an opener. shikhar dhawan is underrated. he has been in smashing form in domestic odis & avges over 50 as an opener. i would go with sehwag & dhawan opening with gambhir at 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amits Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 But u saw Gambhir at the T20 World Cup where he was smashing as an opener. i know that. but in the cb series, gambhir was the top-scorer and played most of his innings at no.3 even hitting 2 100s ltonPoopy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyinallblue Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 can some kind soul compile the list of availability of international players.. i think SA players will miss their first 4 matches.. Aussie players will miss half the tournament.. WI players will play against AUS in test series...so they are surely going to miss some part.. the complete info will help in selecting the Super Selector Players.. PS: Best bet is to pick Pakistani and Indian players..with Retired Internationals...like Gilly or Jayasurya..:two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Delhi, with McGrath and Asif, and Bangalore, with Zaheer and Steyn, probably have the best new ball bowling attack in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amits Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 sa will miss the 1st 2 weeks due to the final rounds of the standard bank pro20 and they also have a odi series against kenya sometime in may as well nz players will be off after 1st week of may for the eng series aus & wi players will be off for the aus-wi test series only ind, pak, sl & bd players r available for the whole tournament with some pak players missing the 1st match of their team due to the pak-bd series which ends on 20 april. ipl starts on 18 april Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amits Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 as for the super-selector, i have selected an all indian team. no foriegn players. i thought of only gilchrist & afridi as options, but chose dhoni & yusuf pathan over them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.b.m Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Delhi' date=' with McGrath and Asif, and Bangalore, with Zaheer and Steyn, probably have the best new ball bowling attack in the competition.[/quote'] Dont forget Ishant and Gul (if he isnt injured or bowling dollies like he is now). Lee, Sreesanth and VRV dont look like a bad attack either. Mumbai ******* I know that name is ridiculous but why is it censored? Actually, sorry. It deserves to be. a srikkanth parthiv badrinath michael hussey raina dhoni (c,w) oram Why isnt Matthew Larden in the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amits Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Why isnt Matthew Larden in the side? i missed matthew hayden in the chennai super kings team while looking the squads. hayden can come in place of hussey and for the censored name, it isnt censored. i didnt feel like writing the name. other teams r also as much indian as mumbai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.b.m Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 and for the censored name, it isnt censored. i didnt feel like writing the name. other teams r also as much indian as mumbai LAWLZ'o Lawl! What about Ntini in the Chennai team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amits Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 LAWLZ'o Lawl! What about Ntini in the Chennai team? i did saw ntini in the chennai team, but couldnt include ntini due to the 4 foreign player restriction. had to include balaji instead. but still i feel that the foreign players will be rotated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator_05 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Tillekaratne Dilshan will be a shoe-in for the Delhi Daredevils. He is a good batsman lower down the order, a very handy spin option and one of the best fielders in world cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Vettori is certian to play every game till the time he is in India, before he leaves for England tour.. Mcgrath would play perhapz every game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamatkar Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm not sure where Gibbs will fit, but he's a strong contender for the Deccan chargers, with his big hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
