IPL likely starting XIs

the kolkata team is wrong... under all circumstances gayle will play if he is available.plus karthik will come in place of abdullah.umar gul can be taken in place of hussey but i ud prefer hussey.in place of gul ranadeb bose will come in. so shukla ganguly ranadeb hussey and karthik can handle the 12 overs while ishant and agarkar will take care of the rest 8. dropping gayle is unthinkable.akash chopra will play in place of pujara perhaps. the 11 will probably be ganguly gayle akash chopra ponting hussey mccullum shukla agarkar karthik ishant ranadeb bose the reason chopra is batting above ponting is that almost all the teams have to have around 10 overs from part timers or indian domestic bowlers..hence the explosive batting of ponting hussey and mccullum can take heavy toll.in the front gayle will be destructive.chopra has to play fast cos its 20-20 or he will get out.ganguly i guess will take 1 or 2 oves to settle and then play his trademark shots .he will either smash anything in sight or get out.

@straighttalk, even i wanted to get gayle in the kolkata team, but didnt select him due to the 4 foreign player restriction. also, abdullah was selected ahead of murali kartik as kartik is injured. but ur team does not have umar gul. i would drop david hussey instead for gayle

@straighttalk' date=' even i wanted to get gayle in the kolkata team, but didnt select him due to the 4 foreign player restriction. also, abdullah was selected ahead of murali kartik as kartik is injured. but ur team does not have umar gul. i would drop david hussey instead for gayle[/quote'] i didnt knw that karthik was injured...reports from kolkata suggest agarkar is also not fit.in that case gul has to come in as otherwise bowling will be weak.but hussey is a great 20-20 player and gul is right now not in form so hussey who also brings in his offspin could be a good option.the presence of several part timers and indian domestic bowlers make me think that kolkata may get away without gul.but having gul would have been better perhaps.but lets see what is decided..we can just speculate.:D

amits, your team is so wrong Mumbai INDIANS!! tendulkar © jayasurya rahane ronchi (w) gaurav dhiman uthappa saurabh tiwary pollock nayar Harbhajan Malinga We bat till #9. Nayar is an allrounder. 4 specialist bowlers in Harbhajan, Malinga, Nayar, Pollock, Jayasuriya can also be classed as a specialist bowlers.. he is hard to hit.. and SRT and Dhiman also bowl.

Me no thinks Nayar is going to make the starting XI with Polly and Surya taking the allrounder slots. Folks are going to be mighty tempted to play Nehra, who might be a dark horse.

Depends on how he's performing in the nets.... which we dont know, so cant decide. If he's just coming back form injury, I wouldnt rush him, but if he's fit, why not.

i missed harbhajan when looking at the squads. harbhajan can come in place of rajesh pawar. and nayar wont be batting at 9. no way nayar is worser batsman than pollock, tiwary & dhiman. nayar will bat somewhere in the middle order

How do you fit Misbah in Bangalore team. He surely has to be in the team? Also for Mohali, Sarwan might get the nod ahead of Hope even though Hopes can bowl. The Mohali attack can go for a plenty of runs in Lee, Sreesanth, and VRV :D
i would go with hopes ahead of sarwan. hopes will be useful with the ball & is an opener as well. sarwan isnt too suited to 20/20 and also noticed that everyone is having their ipl team logo as their avartar. this also forced me to get the "delhi daredevils" avartar yday

I honestly think that IPL teams should have paid their starting line up the most' date=' on some of these teams there are foreign players making fortunes who will barely play any matches because of the 4 international player rule.[/quote'] the intl players will most likely be rotated throughout the tournament
