The biggest mistake was playing Goswami, and relying on Kallis to get through 4 overs unscathed. Merwe has lost his batting touch, and that is a big loss. Lack of allrounders is a big big worry right now. My team for next match would be: (drop Uthappa and Goswami. Can swap Kohli with Uthappa). Kallis Pandey Merwe Morgan Dravid Kohli Akhil Du Preez/Steyn Kumar Kumble Apanna

lal, hope they don't persist with steyn. it is a good thing he got smashed. so, now please pick dupreez. Goswami was just weird, drop his ass, get in boucher and drop merwe and get appanna. :aha:

No need to drop Merwe , he is an excellent bowler , rarely concedes more then 7RPO and invariably gets a wicket or do , excellent fielder , lifts the spirits of the team .Replace Steyn with Boucher and get in Mithun instead of Steyn . Infact Merwe , PK and AK conceded only 62 runs yesterday in 12 overs for 2 wickets . If Steyn and Kallis were less expensive and Goswami effectd the run-out of Tiwari we might have defended 135. Open with Robin and play Dravid at a higher position then 6 . One more thing , dont bowl Kallis onside the first 6 overs .It worked in SA , it wont work here . It wont be a bad idea if Uthappa , Kallis and Kohli combine to finsh off 4 overs.

Guys are underestimating Steyn. He was good in IPL-1. That said, once Ross and White (and KP) are in the squad, no way can we afford to play 2 overseas bowlers. We will have to pick one of Steyn, Merwe or Dupree. We might even go for none if Apanna and Vinay/Mithun can deliver the goods. A possible lineup in the offing: Pandey Kallis/KP Morgan Dravid White Ross Akhil Kumble Kumar Vinay/Mithun Apanna.

Dillion Du Preez is again a swing bowler, and i think both will be PWNED on indian Paata Pitches, so it wont be a bad idea to g owit han extra batsman, so that they could chase the total that opposition will post, or post a competetetive total

No more experiments and dont change team reapetedly. Last chance to steyn today

i just hate the pitch at chinnaswamy.we probably have the worst bowling attack of all the teams but we have great batsmen who can play on any pitches but we continue to play on pattas where our bowlers can be replaced by bowling machines and we couldnt do any worse.

Well done :brc:, but i feel Punjab's bowling attack was weak.Still 200+ is 200+ and kudos to the Old Horse kallis who pulled this one off, along with some healthy contributions from Pandey, Uthappa
