vvvslaxman Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 CSK fast bowling sucked always. Bollingam bailed them out eventually. They should have gone for someone like Nannes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidhoni Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Brilliant team as it always was, but they picked up more overseas players than they needed, we might see a foreign player sit in the dugouts for most matches like Ntini did for seasons 2 & 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir john Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 ‘I will miss Chennai and Dhoni’ Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan says he will miss his previous IPL team Chennai Super Kings and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni but is excited to play for Kochi franchisee, the new entrants in the Twenty20 league. Muralitharan, who had played a crucial role in CSK's title-triumph in IPL-III and Champions League last year, was been signed up by team Kochi for USD 1.1 million at the two-day auction in Bangalore. "I played with them for three years and have several happy memories with the team. My wife is also from Chennai and she is upset with this change but it happens in the game. I will miss Chennai, my teammates and miraculous captain Dhoni," Muralitharan told PTI. "Chennai had an excellent captain, a wonderful team and tremendous support. We enjoyed playing for them and last year was memorable in which we won the IPL and Champions league. I have taken a lot of wickets for them," said the veteran, who has 515 ODI and 800 Test wickets in his kitty. "Kochi is a new venture and we will have new captain and new targets. I am quite excited about this. We will start afresh and try to give our best. I hope to have home like atmosphere in Kochi as well. I hope that people will understand my language (Tamil) in Kochi also," he added. The spin wizard, who took 40 wickets in 40 matches for Chennai in last three seasons, said he wants to extend his IPL career for a few more years. "I want to play IPL for the next two or three more years. I will try to perform with best of my abilities and experience. Team Kochi has put so much faith on me and I will not disappoint them," said the ace off spinner, Talking about Kochi's combination of players, Muralitharan said they need some more young Indian guns.

cameron_black Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Tamim would have been a good choice. i agree. tamim is wisden player of year. he is very good atacking batsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron_black Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 i think suraj randiw good bowler as well. he no ball to sehwag was bad thing but csk can use his talents in ipl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 i agree. tamim is wisden player of year. he is very good atacking batsman. He has showed nothing spectacular in limited over games. But i think it might have been worth to have him as a back up opener in some team as I dont see him in the starting 11 against the top 4 international players in all the franchises.

Wisden player of the year was for his performances in tests, I think. We seem to have a problem of plenty with more than useful foreign players in our squad. But am not sure how successful Hussey will be as an opener. That is where Tamim could have filled in, if needed. But I have full confidence in our franchisee's think tank and their strategy. Only obvious blot in the strategy is Jogi, who stands out like a 'Dhristi pottu' :--D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats why M$D hires Jogi - to serve as his 'Dhrishti pottu' (to ward off the evil eye) :hysterical: I am quite sure this is M$D behind the hiring, otherwise cannot understand why CSK got into a bidding war for him! :hmmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hussey opened for us many times including a 100 in 50 or so balls in the 1st IPL and he even replaced Hayden as the opener in champions league. Even if hussey is not in the side, Dwayne bravo would be a better choice and we could open with Srikanth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
