bobbydhillon Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I think its a nice move, actually was surprised that noody picked him up in the auction Kulasekara called up by Kings XI Punjab Cricinfo staff April 29, 2009 Sri Lanka's leading fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara is being rushed to South Africa © AFP Kings XI Punjab have called up Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara as an emergency replacement for the injured Australian batsman Shaun Marsh for the remainder of the IPL. "We are trying to get him here (to South Africa) at the earliest as a replacement for Marsh," Col Aravinder Singh, the franchise's spokesperson, told Cricinfo. Marsh was the overall leading run-scorer in last year's IPL and was instrumental in taking the team to the semi-finals. He injured his left hamstring during the first ODI against Pakistan in Dubai last week and had to fly back home. It was the same hamstring which kept him out of the recent tour of South Africa. The IPL rules allow a player to be replaced mid-way through the tournament if he is ruled out for the whole series. Kulasekara rose to No.1 in the ICC bowler rankings in March after an impressive 12 months since returning to the team in April 2008. He took 47 wickets at 20.97 in 29 matches, with a strike-rate of 28.00 and an economy rate of 4.45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punjabi_khota Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Kulasekara is good, but I am waiting for Appam chewtiya to get fit. Sree,IKP,Abdullah and Chawla, with part time spin of UV looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydhillon Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 bopara and hopes opening would have been brilliant but bopara wont be here for next game , so hopes is much needed. also i guess in the next couple games pomersbach ( if he is there) should play instead of katich. if not then katich slow bowling would be asset too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champachikla Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 kulashekhara will not get a single game, cause this new guy abdullah is bowling very well, and they need atleast 3 foreign batsman, so a place for other bowler will not be available. 2 batsman sangakkara and jayawardhena are already permanent. other batsman could be hopes or katich whenever they are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
