asterix Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 What a fantastic turn around under Super Smith's captaincy... Showing and teaching previous captain how it's done with a mediocre team... Masterstroke by Goenka... Respect! He analysed the main issue and REKTIfied it... Instant success... Laaloo, speedheat and maniac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asterix Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Looks like dhoni chamchas have to start picking up dog crap now:p: Bandwagoners... all of them. When RPS was struggling they were (including Super Bhabi) @ Smith & Goenka... The moment Smith turned the team around they started claiming it for the backstabbers.. Bloody bandwagoners... if RPS fails they'll again at Goenka & Smith... Laaloo, maniac and Yoda-esque 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedheat Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This is exactly what Tony did last year with pune when he got his first worst team as a captain to deal with. Lol maniac, CG, asterix and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 6 out of 10 then. Still to play KKR, SRH, DD and Kings XI. All away except the last one. Has a fair chance of qualifying but it won’t be easy. The team is settled though: a) Rahane - Needs to fire now. Enough of insipid knocks. Hope he comes good against the big teams. b) Tripathi - Shining addition. High on confidence. c) Smith - Captain Marvellous d) Stokes - Zillion-dollar man e) Tiwary - Great form currently f) Dhoni - Keeping is still sharp. Can still hit a few. Will manage. g) Dan Christian - Economical bowling plus decent six-hitting. Has done well this time. h) Washington Sundar - Hope he can bat a bit as well. Bowling has been decent. i) Imran Tahir - Great form. Purple cap contender. j) Shardul Thakur - Can get clobbered. k) Jaydev Unadkat - Can get clobbered too. Overall, has turned out much better than expected. Bowling is still weak, but hope the batsmen make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, has turned out much better than expected. Bowling is still weak, but hope the batsmen make up for it. As of now,The Pune team output is greater than the sum of its individuals.Lets see how long the dream lasts. -Rahane needs to hit form.He is trying to hit his way out of trouble but that is not his forte. -Tripathi has been consistent but the law of averages will catch up with him. - Dhoni will adjust according to the situation.If Pune is cruising, Dan needs to come up the order. - Tiwari plays well when hes down the order and theres no pressure.When hes pushed up , he changes his approach. The two people that worry me are The Unad and Thakur.Unad will go missing when push comes to shove, me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imran Tahir and Stokes will be unavailable in the later part I think,so at best Pune can reach the top 4.RPS vs KXIP would be a good match if Punjab also somehow stay in the reckoning for playoffs.

Ultimate_Game Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 If Dinda is in the team XI no point wasting time playing the match. Just award the match to the other team G_B_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is he a spinner nor an allrounder. Zampa will replace Tahir and one of Khwaja/Lockie will replace Stokes depending on the combination.

Lockie can surely replace Stokes in the bowling department. Yeah, we will miss Stokes’ batting, but he has anyway batted well in only a couple of knocks.
