Majestic Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) RR all the way. GT has stat padders and selfish top order batters who make crybabe faces when they get run out by their partner, not interested in them. Only Miller looks good in that batting lineup but I am sure he will bring his choke gene in play on Sunday. RR got pretty exciting team, was such a pleasure watching Buttler bat, Jaiswal and Samson are pretty exciting to watch for comeos too but I would hope a Hetmyer special in the finals.

GT is the best team that punched way above its weight in IPL history. Miller was sucking balls 7 or 8 seasons. Gill proper tuk tuk mostly in IPL. Saha is like 38. Still batting at his best. Tuk Tuk pandya. Tewatia a journey man at best who fluked a few knocks. Rashid as a batsman hardly did anything for SRH. This team should have been shot out under 130 in almost all the innings. They may end up winning this one given that they have a solid bowling unit led by Rashid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 All about the bowling. Lockie Shami Pandya R khan Yash dayal Said kishore Tboult P krishna Ashwin Chahal McCoy Parag 3 good bowlers in locie shami and dayal vs 3 good bowlers from rr in prasidh boult and ash Tough one. I am going with RR for personal reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashid is the key player and leader of that bowling attack. It has been a team effort for them as they neither are in contention for orange cup or purple cap. Even the player of tournament seems likely to be going to Jos Buttler. But they have performed extremely well as unit. I just don't like their top order. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should remove ash from my list of good bowlers too tbh in the earlier post. It comes down to: McCoy vs dayal. Dayal is better. Boult vs lockie. Boult is better Prasidh vs shami. Prasidh is better atm RR wins . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1985 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Will come down to 3 things imo (assuming GT post a good total if batting 1st or if they are bowling 1st); How much damage Jos can do early on. Rashid Khan v Jos Rashid Khan v Sanju Samson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl_out Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Two of my fav teams this season RR should make GT bat first.. GT has these freak players like Miller and Tewatia who can play cameos and chase anything RR's best bet is if they make GT bat first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Proud of the Wolves: * Top order (#1-3) is a mix of free flowing and resilient players * Middle order (#4-7) is full of players who have delivered under pressure and can play per the situation. In fact with Wade at #3, GT has players with finishing abilities from #3-7 * Strongest bowling attack - Shami with the new ball, Lockie/Joseph with pace, Yash Dayal w/ left arm angle and striking abilities, SDP (Hardik) with his intelligent bowling, & of course the wizard Rashid. Supported by the accurate Kishore. * Led by the best captain in the IPL. * Backed & motivated by the best coaching & support staff Team ho to aise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 This is an ideal surface for hardik the bowler- slow , ball isnt coming easy on bat, longer boundaries ....his slower/cutter bouncers can be very handy here . He also is a lil quicker then batsman anticipate so that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
