karteekmvs Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I can sense the lead changing today. Did not really think Sanga would perform twice in a row epecially with he batting at number 5 and the ground being Wanderers. Poor show by the Kings XI top order. Suman has bowled very well and I don't see any reason why he cannot perform with the bat. Rohit has been pathetic and Gibbs out of form. With the kind of day I am having, I can see Irfee and Binga being hit out of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karteekmvs Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 In spite of knowing that this would not be a batting wicket, I went with seven batsmen. Was very keen on picking Amit Singh, Nehra, Nannes, and Warne. But just went with the flow. A bad day for me already could very well get worser.

karteekmvs Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I had Sanga in all the games except today's. In fact, I strategically dropped him as soon as the prev Kings XI game ended so that I can pick another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karteekmvs Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 :(( Loosing to your younger bro is the ultimate embarrasment' date=' even further after the Eng-Wi SS.[/quote'] In the initial phase of the tournament, I had observed that both of you were making similar changes but for that one floating player in each side. I was thinking maybe it was you managing both the ids as I have rarely seen shawn making any comments. It is surely a good feeling for the younger one to kick the elder's ass and I guess his team is rightly named ass ;). (In my case, I am the younger one and hardly ever got a chance to kick my brother's ass as he is 6 years elder to me. I caught up with him after he started getting old when I started beating him in tennis and TT consistently, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karteekmvs Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 wTF Of all ppl Munna destroys my SS day with all his 4s against Nannes:(( I seriously considered having Munna and Amit in my side as against Quiney and Smith. Frankly speaking, I still wonder why I got them in my side. I was predicting DD not to go beyond 130 because of the pitch and their bowlers not bowling well because of the cold. So some common sense cricket was expected by at least one of them. Oh well... Sanga and Gibbsy spoil my day. Suman would have been in my side because I knew it was back to back games and for the Chargers and he had the potentia, but again, Gibbsy at Bullring: very tough to leave that out. No wonder they say ignorance is bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal was to be a leader at least once and I did that twice. I was confident that I would be in the top 5 at the end of the SS, but man beating bobby the champ seems to be the goal now.

Thanks a lot for appreicating :bow: I learnt playing SS only in between IPL and have been trying to improve since then .. hopefully I will be able to give some competition in WC t20 .. it wil however be quite difficult in WC t20 because nobody knows the stars of teams like Ireland, Holland etc. and so it woud take at least a game before proper substitutions would be made I have reached 21 now but I am quite afraid of making any KKR substitutions for this match as I will lose my rank if I substitute .. whenever I make KKR substitutions they most drag me down instead of improviing my points :nervous: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karteekmvs Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 My bad days tarted even before a ball is bowled. I though Bailey would play in the middle order where he has to face two very good spinners in the form of Junta and StyleBhai. He is opening and he has an excellent T20 strike rate of 120. Dinda, Anureet and co. My prayers to get him out. Actually I should pray Parthiv to get him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
