mhr123 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Dada to captain Punter. :yay::yay::yay: Punter might actually learn something now. I hope dada will keep punter as 12th man and call for drinks after every over while he's batting.:cantstop:
mhr123 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Jaipur has been the smartest. They have 2 match winners in G. Smith and Warne. They also have Younis Khan and Kamran Akmal who will be good role players for them. if they can grab both the Husseys' date=' Pollock, Ishant and also one hard hitting opening batsman (maybe Gambhir) they are well set.[/quote'] believe me Warne will prove to be liability , by the way who is leading Jaipur team
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Mohali looks good as well but they have overbid for every single player on their team.
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 believe me Warne will prove to be liability ' date=' by the way who is leading Jaipur team[/quote'] I think Warne will be at least as good as HS. But, if they have to compete as also set tickets they need Pollock, Ishant, Gambhir and the Husseys and they have the money for that.
Guest HariSampath Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 We already have the 4 top International players that we can play in the 11, so we will be looking at some very good Indian bowling allrounders..Irfan/RP, we are sure to get one *pray*....and maybe one or two more Int'l players. Possibly Polly, Bond or maybe Andre Nel, Ntini or someone. We are definitely getting a big, good fast bowling buy and also a very good bowling allrounder buy, we have enough money left for this. One additional thing is, remember all teams have to do their minimum of 4 players in U-22 and 4 local players. As Chennai is very good locally in T20 ( we won both national T20 and also ICL T20, plus ICL 50), the limited overs talent base in these parts is tremendous, Chennai is epicenter at the junior level limited overs teams. We may probably play Anirudh Srikkanth who is 20 and did extremely well in national T20 championships and some of the others too from that T20 team. We also will use Badrinath in middle order.
Rohan495 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 yea man i really feel bad for taibu it could of done Zimbabwe cricket a world of good, but im sure hell be selected by the end of the draft

Guest HariSampath Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Bangalore are certainly duds, they have been suckered LOL...imagine paying 2.7 millions for Dravid, Kallis and Kumble in a T20 game, even the Bangalore fans looked dispirited ....:hysterical:
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Jaipur has the most money to spend on 3 good bowlers...if they are smart they will be the most competitive by spending the least money.
Guest HariSampath Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 If I am given absolute powers, I will spend even 700,000 to get Mohammed Ashraful, the fellow is brilliant, and in a very shortened context he can usually get 40 off 20 balls, or 30 off 15 balls, he can be explosive against any attack for half hour.

Sachinism Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Jaipur needs some indian players or they're gonna struggle to pull crowds
Ram Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Chennai, Hyderabad and Mohali look the strongest.
Gambit Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai look good. God save Bangalore with Dravid and Kallis in their lineup.Which chumps have ended up with Chanderpaul and Laxman? Watching SRT and SJ open together for Mumbai should be a treat.

Ashraful is a great 20-20 player but all should be looking to steal him, not overpay him that much. If you want to do that it's better to actually sign Aftab Ahmed for 100,000$ who is almost as good.

How abt the deal Sir ? :D
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Jaipur needs some indian players or they're gonna struggle to pull crowds They should be looking to get 3 of Irfan, Ishant, Gambhir, Uthappa, Rohit Sharma and R P singh. And also Pollock and the Husseys. To tell you the truth they have the money to get all of them.
Sachinism Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I wanna see how the bidders go crazy for Ishant --- Meanwhile, an interesting announcement from Andrew Symonds: He is likely to pull out of the Pakistan, which explains why he has attracted a far higher bid than Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden. Ponting went for $400,000 and Hayden for $375,000. Though Symonds' stand was made public after he had been signed on by Hyderabad, one wonders whether the franchises didn’t already know of it. That will explain to a large extent why the bidding for Symonds went as high as $1.35m. That said, Ponting and Hayden are not bad investments at all. Because if the Pakistan tour is cancelled, Kolkata and Chennai will have hit the jackpot. And if they are not available, or available for less than four matches, they will receive only 25 per cent of their salary.
Gambit Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 The Hyderabad batting lineup with Gilly, Afridi, Symonds and Gibbs is a ticking timebomb. 300 in 20 overs or 10/4 in 2 overs.
