someone Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thats the problem. SRK is more focused on creating buzz and earning money for the team. But in the process he is sacrificing the talent part. He makes buzz by assembling paper strong team. But needs to look at performers too. Eh? The power of hindsight I see. Clearly if you ask a question at beginning of any IPL season, on who has good team? I am sure many experts and fans would put KKR as one of the best. (Not the best, but still good enough to be the semis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needforspeed Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 On paper they are probably the best team...but too many superstars. So cannot gel as a team. Maybe too many ego issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFever Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Getting Kallis into the team shows the knowledge of their selection committee. True.. Batting wise Kallis in T20 is only as good as Dada.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why blame Kallis when Captain Mr 2.4 million has been a non-show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate_Game Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Problem with KKR is that they don't have any natural strokemakers in the team. Kallis is a good batsman but not suited to T20s. Gambhir is their best batsman but even he's not the quickest and needs batsmen like Raina/Sehwag/Yuvraj in the team to score at a quick rate. Yusuf pathan is the only batsman in that lineup who can score quickly but he's not consistent and you can't rely on him scoring consistently. On top of that their bowling is anything but awe inspiring. They have big issues and they need to do a make-over like what B'lore did after season 1 when their batting lineup used to be suited to Tests with guys like Dravid & Wasim Jaffer in the team. They righted the wrongs and look at the difference. KKR needs to do the same. Gambhir is a solid batsman to build the team around but you can't have likes of Gambhir, Kallis and manoj Tiwary in the same team. Keep Gambhir and one of the other two and find stroke-makers. Maybe they need to trade for Rohit Sharma, Saurabh Tiwary, Robin Uthappa etc. as they need batting firepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UG your commenst are bit far fetched..KR reached Semi last year so not all is lost...they ahve to re order their Batting line up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulbul Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Why blame Kallis when Captain Mr 2.4 million has been a non-show? we dont blame Indians for team failures....he got that much money solely because he was in great form run up to the auction even Pujara got 875000 just because he played well against OZ ina test and his FC performance was great... oh and that Tiwari guy :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hard to blame the owners, they have provided them an excellent core of players which many other teams envy. And yet they simply to fail in joining as the team. Blame has to start with the coach and the captain himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
