KKR this season with all the batting power lost 6 matches in a row. Did they hold back Russell until too late because he has the capability to tear apart any script?

Inclusion of Naik and even promoting to open the innings when they had guys like Gill, Narine, Rana was one of the most suspicious move. He promptly wasted several balls before he got out. asterix and nevada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McCoy Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 On 5/11/2019 at 1:04 AM, nevada said: They cut loose Michael Bevan as soon as the 2003 world cup ended. He was only 33-34 at the time. Their reasoning at that time was that he would be too old by the next world cup, so they might as well dump him right away. By that same yardstick, Hayden should have been cut off after the 2007 world cup and Ponting after 2011. But that didn't happen. After both of them had extended slumps they were told to go but they should not even have been allowed to stay on if the same ruthlessness was applied as in Bevan's case. In 2003, they had a strong set of players knocking on their doors. They had a replacement for Bevan in Hussey not to forget Clarke who scored century on debut. In 2007 WC, they had a a veteran team. After 2007, Mcgrath and Warne retired and they declined. They had to make use of Ponting and Hayden as much as possible and phase out one by one instead of losing everyone in one go. Moreover, they didnt have the bench strength they had before. Haddin was not Gilchrist, Watson and Katich were no Hayden and Langer, S Clark no Mcgrath. They couldnt find out the replacement for Warne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MI would’ve still won but the execution of the script by KKR was pathetic... BCCI has banned so many players in the past but will it investigate that batting of Uthappa? NO, because it was official fixing, no Bookies involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
