urbestfriend Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Its IPL' date=' not a test match at SCG. Here u hav yuvi taking 2 hat tricks for crying out loud. The fifth bowler Kallis doesnt open the bowling or end it, what good is he ?[/quote'] We're thinking of an additional bowling option as we're leaking too many run, but you think we can get the job done with only 4 bowlers?:hysterical::hysterical:

KP can definitely bowl if other part timers can and wont be more expensive than Kallis.
urbestfriend Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 we are doing ourselves a great disservice' date='dravid never gets to bat and if he does then its too late for the win anyway,why cant we get past the "icon player" thing and get in another bowler?.[b']My only hope for the next game is that they play both ross and white. Kallis: Has orange cap - will never be dropped KP - Just won MOM - never be dropped Steyn: bowling well - never be dropped So whom Ross will replace? Why you want to replace Dravid? He's not getting a chance this season...! He was our best bat! We should not touch any Indian players ( except PK :hmmm:) for replacement.

Clarke Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Exactly' date=' it is the IPL and not a Test match where 4 bowlers are enough. KP and Kohli both got smashed. Check up on KPs bowling against Chennai.[/quote'] http://stats.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/engine/records/bowling/best_career_economy_rate.html?id=4801;type=tournament KP was the best after jumbo until he had to leave last yr. If ur telling me he got hammered last game, Kallis/PK get the stick almost every game. Pk bowls in the death, Kallis doesnt even do that a lot.
Clarke Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 If at all u guys think a fifth bowler is needed, well a FT keeper can be dropped. But i cant seem to agree on Kallis being a better pick than KP.
cowboysfan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Kallis: Has orange cap - will never be dropped KP - Just won MOM - never be dropped Steyn: bowling well - never be dropped So whom Ross will replace? Why you want to replace Dravid? He's not getting a chance this season...! He was our best bat! We should not touch any Indian players ( except PK :hmmm:) for replacement. that is exactly why i would drop him.we need another bowler to overcome another PK failure.the next match is at kotla and it will definitely help the spinners.going with just one spinner on the kotla pitch is just wrong.
vvvslaxman Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Mallaya has too much money. Bought one too many players just for they hype which was not at all necessary
cowboysfan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 my team against delhi (on a spinner friendly wicket) pandey kallis kp kohli uthappa ross the boss white pk vk appanna kumble

This is freaking Indian premier league and Indians should get chance ahead of foreigners. If we want to drop some one like Rahul to accommodate a bowler, I dont mind to drop any of international players even it is Ross the boss.
flashpan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I think we can drop PK and get in Mithun . No more changes . SPD Smith , Taylor , DuPreez and Van Merwe will all get chances once we confirm a semis berth.

It is about the team.
urbestfriend Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Let's not get emotional here. It is about the team. Not emotional but how can you drop our own legends for some phucking foreign players when he hasn't been given any opportunity to bat! This is ridiculous! I am already angry that Kumble is not giving our youngsters like Appanna,mithun an opportunity!
Serani Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I think the 4 foreigner thing will be lifted after this year anyway, it makes more sense if Modi wants to popularise the IPL elsewhere.

flashpan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I do not know how we can accomodate Ross in the team . KP is a proven batter , Kallis has done extreamly well until now and his presence gives a lot of freedom to the likes of Pandey and Uthappa to score quick . In case of emergency there is still Rahul to come and there is no better or cleaner striker of a cricket ball then White who is in the form of his life . Put Kohli in the middle and it is one awesome line-up . Can we drop Steyn on a bouncy pitch that we have in Bangalore. I say get Mithun/Appanna/Akhil/SreeRam instead of PK since actually we unlike other teams can afford to have a tail starting at 8.
Serani Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Ross is better than white, people think white is an all rounder but he wil not bowl and his batting is much less consistent than Ross.
