maniac Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Fun and Trolling aside....billion dollar franchise league.....money to buy the best bowlers in the world...absolutely disgraceful and shameful bowling attack.You don't have to be a Gujrat Lions fan...just a plain spectator or an Indian or an IPL fan is enough. This is embarrassing. Also I am worried..I want IPL to expand...if we get 10 teams next year...hope the talent is not spread to othin. Mosher, tweaker, Sandeep99 and 3 others 6
Tibarn Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 They are comparable to Pakistan's bowling attack. Mosher 1
maniac Posted April 7, 2017 Author Posted April 7, 2017 A bowling attack of P Kumar DS Kulkarni MS Gony S Kaushik DR Smith SB Jakati is not even good enough to be an attack for 2nd teams of Gradec C type teams in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Horrible! express bowling 1
Laaloo Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Pathetic bowling attack maniac, adi B and express bowling 3
express bowling Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Giving chances to young quicks like Thampi, Nathu and Sangwan Not playing pacers based on seniority Jadeja and Bravo will be back Their bowling will look much better SecondSlip, zen, Mosher and 2 others 5

BeautifulGame Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 We probably will be next year Very unlikely. No one has even mentioned that yet.

Either ways...The point being Pathetic bowling attack this....but IF-Focus on the word there....IF We try to expand danger of spreading too thin....I mean 8 teams are good enough Edited April 7, 2017 by maniac
BeautifulGame Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 We probably will be next year Just to add , if we want to maintain quality in case if we expand to 10 teams , then it's time to increase the overseas quota to atleast 5 players.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Keeping Faulkner on the bench.Not giving Thampi or Nathu a chance.
BeautifulGame Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Either ways...The point being Pathetic bowling attack this....but IF-Focus on the word there....IF We try to expand danger of spreading too thin....I mean 8 teams are good enough Yes that's why we need to increase the overseas quota to compensate for that. It's a joke to see the likes of Faulkner , Ferguson etc sitting out when Dindas and Gonys are still playing.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Mazaaa aagya trundlers ki dhunai dekh ke Aur khilao dhawal jaise ko line n length ke naam pe maniac, speedheat, SecondSlip and 2 others 5
SecondSlip Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Absolutely loved it! Bowlers like Gony, Praveen, Dhawal and all other useless trundlers deserve a spanking like this game after game! Mosher and speedheat 2
Cricketics Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Too early to judge them as they do have decent bench strength but did not play some bowlers or some were injured. All the ones who played today are decent back up bowlers who can be played as third seamer when others are around, but playing all of them together isn't good. Anyways, it was just first game and Lynn actually made them look worse than what they are. Hoping now that they play Thampi and co and that Jadeja is back too which will change their team totally.
tweaker Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Raina should play the same bowlers again, yesterday highest 1st wicket partnership was broken, lots of more record are to be broken, New guy 1
nanda14792 Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I think more than bowling, fielding hurt them and let them down. Consider last over sitters that were missed by Baz and Dwayne Smith off Dhawal Kulkarni's bowling. If they Wud have held on to it, the bowlers Wud have penetrated!
tweaker Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Thampi is playing today, hope he put some teeth in GL bowling express bowling 1

Thampi can bowl swinging yorkers at genuine pace, has a good slower ball and a good bouncer. He will serve his team much better in the coming days than Gony and co., if he is encouraged and supported. Edited April 9, 2017 by express bowling New guy and speedheat 2
sandeep Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 OP has a point regarding the first game. But Dhawal Kulkarni >>> Hassan Ali.
